In this episode I interview Nick Brengle who is a cinematographer, filmmaker, and YouTuber. Nick has a growing YouTube channel, and definitely has a different approach and style than most of what you see on the platform.

In this episode I interview Kyle Huber. Kyle and I are actually old middle school and high school friends. In this podcast we talk a little bit about filmmaking and tech, but mostly about life and life's failures. This is a different episode than normal, but one that I definitely think you'll enjoy.

In this week's episode I interview Austin Black who is a fellow YouTuber and freelance filmmaker. Austin and his wife Kristin run their own business called Ocular Pop where they specialize in wedding and real estate videos, as well as other commercial clients. In this episode we talk about their business, Austin's YouTube channel, and we also spend a decent amount of time talking about Sony cameras.

In this episode of the Manual Focus Podcast I interview Jonah Deaton. Jonah or JD, is a crazy talented portrait and wedding photographer, and specifically when it comes to weddings JD specializes in the destination elopement space. In our conversation JD gives some really practical advice for people looking to break into the elopement scene as a photographer. Jonah first began taking photos his senior year of high school, and now only 5 years later he is a full-time photographer who is rarely ever not working with a client. Jonah has been featured on several high profile Instagram accounts, as well as going viral on Tik Tok, Pinterest, and even CNN.
