In this Film Courage video, Jason Satterlund gives his take on finding work in Los Angeles as a director different from other places due to LA's status as a hub for the film industry. While other cities have their own unique film communities and industries, LA is where major decisions are made and where opportunities for above-the-line positions like writers, directors, and actors on larger projects are abundant. However, LA also presents challenges as it attracts aspiring filmmakers from all over, making competition fierce. Many filmmakers in LA find themselves in a kind of purgatory, working on projects they may not be passionate about, like reality shows, while striving to break through and work on their own creative endeavors. Continuing to learn and improve independently, even in the midst of the industry's demands, is emphasized as a key to success.
Jason Satterlund is an award winning film director who has been working on films for over 25 years. He has extensive experience in all areas of production including directing, producing, writing, cinematography, and editing. He works all over the world directing, commercials, documentaries, music videos, and feature films.
Early on he developed his skills as a storyteller and uses them to this day on projects as diverse as sci-fi steampunk action films, high end commercials, underwater sea life in the tropics, television shows, top country music artists in Nashville, Tenn, and feature films. He is the only person ever to conduct a night shoot in the ancient city of Petra, and the first person in America to use film lenses on an HD camera.
Satterlund has done extensive work for clients such as Warner Brothers, Bon Jovi, Amazon, Microsoft, Jack White, CNN, Hallmark Entertainment, ABC, and the country of Jordan.
He is creator and director of the award winning feature film, "The Record Keeper," which premiered at the Raindance Film Festival in London, and won the first annual Geekie Awards.
Satterlund's latest film THE ABANDON (written by Dwain Worrell) features a wounded soldier awakening in a strange cube that tests his physical and mental limits as he attempts to find a way to escape against a ticking clock.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - [ Ссылка ]
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post [ Ссылка ]
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - [ Ссылка ]
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - [ Ссылка ]
