Since releasing our documentary Minimalism I\\u2019ve gotten this question a lot: How can you be a filmmaker & a minimalist? On the surface this question might seem like it\\u2019s based on a misunderstanding of what minimalism is, but truthfully I think it just comes from filmmakers who are paralyzed with choices. Companies and peer\\u2019s sell them on the gear that they absolutely need to have. Just like the average consumer they\\u2019ve become inundated with options. The underlying assumption: You need more stuff. In this video I talk about my relationship with the "stuff" of the filmmaking world. What are the important questions you should be asking yourself before you go out and purchase the latest gadget or gear?
