Canon 7D
The Canon 7D represents all that I love about indie-filmmaking. Why? Well, you can start with the size which is just a fraction of any other camera with full 1080i HD capability.

Mandy.com provides “international film and TV production resources”. The layout will remind you of Craig’s List minus the “It-puts-the-lotion-on-the-skin” personal ads. It had a few local crew jobs in Texas (which is local for me) as well as some casting announcements. As expected there were a ton of jobs and casting calls for NY and [...] -
