Categories: Company Update, Current Trends
Ahhh, Twitter-the closest we'll ever come to coffee with Peter Jackson or a depressed Darth Vader. But we all know it's more than just a venue for parody and shameless self-promotion.
Cutting through the thick fog of sarcasm and selfies, there is a wealth of great sources for free filmmaking advice on Twitter. Here are some of our favorites:
Phillip Bloom
Twitter handle: @PhilipBloom
Follower count: 98,800
Why you should follow him: Bloom is widely known for his knowledge in extracting cinema-quality footage from low-budget cameras. As a result, he's used DSLRs to shoot scenes for major film studios and is currently filming a new travel documentary series for CNN.
What he tweets about: hardware reviews, tips and tricks, film wins and fails, and Q&As.
A year ago for @digitalrev I made a rather weird short film with the World's worst camera ! If you haven't seen it: https://t.co/xHiGEIREoE

Evan Luzi
Twitter handle: @evanluzi
Follower count: 4,300
Why you should follow him: Luzi's filmmaking advice is rather unique and admirable in that it's directed specifically toward camera crews.

What he tweets about: career advice, tips and tricks, crew perspectives, and best practices.
