It's not the lens it's you

You don't need millions. You don't need permission. You just need a story-and the drive to tell it.

It's Not the Lens, It's You is the ultimate hands-on guide for aspiring filmmakers who want to create powerful, professional-looking films with little to no budget. Whether you're shooting on a smartphone or a second-hand camera, this book breaks down the entire filmmaking process-from writing and pre-production, to shooting, editing, and distributing your film-without relying on expensive gear or Hollywood connections.

Written by an independent director who's lived the hustle, this book is packed with real-world advice, resourceful hacks, creative workarounds, and hard-won lessons. You'll learn how to build a reliable crew, find free locations, direct actors with confidence, light scenes on a dime, record clean audio, market your work without a PR team, and actually finish your film.

Perfect for students, indie creators, and anyone tired of waiting for a green light, this book proves one thing above all:

You already have everything you need to start.

So stop making excuses-and start making your movie.
