I had the great pleasure of speaking with director Ken Simpson and DP Alex Dacev, two filmmakers from Canada. In the podcast we discuss filmmaking, using the 5D for narrative film, tools, post production, and tips on starting in filmmaking.

Sites like Vimeo and YouTube are good places to find film communities, yet it is often difficult to find those great stories in the sea of online content. So I put together a place to share those stories. I hope you join me in finding and sharing films that keep us all inspired and creating our own films.
The site is also a great place for research to see how others are using HDSLRs to shoot films.
You can find videos on the website at www.InspiringShortFilms.com or on the Vimeo Channel here: www.vimeo.com/channels/inspiringshortfilms.

You will notice that quality films utilizing DSLRs are hard to find in the horde of terrible stuff on Vimeo. But I was fortunate to discover a film called THE BRIDGE by Marlon Torres. I was able to ask Marlon how much of his film will be shot on DSLRs and to my surprise he stated that “80% will be shot on the 7D, 10% will be on the 5D, and the last 10% on the XH-A1.”
How exciting is that! It is always good to see filmmakers take a tool and push it. Marlon and his crew are doing just that. You can help support this film by visiting and donating here. Be sure to visit Marlon’s website and his producer’s website as well.
Here is the Official Teaser for The Bridge:
