Awesome interview. The Smith's really take it to the next level with their films.

LOVE this conversation - thank you for sharing! I feel like conversations like this refill my creative cup and is such a great reminder that making wedding films is about more than just the day. Great dialog, great prompts, well done!

Such a great video. Always nice to hear that we all had a day one.
Also, I definitely want to check out that wedding singer video you’re talking about!

One of my favorite wedding filmmakers and dudes.

Awesome episode! That gave me fire and creative juice in my brain! Makes me want to jump on a new edit. The shitty part is i started one and its still in the beginning stages but part of me wants to restart but its tough with all the work I’ve already put into it and its my favourite couple and wedding so far and most excited about this one so makes it harder to restart. Not that it’s not good but still curious to know where it will go.
