Summer Time Shooting? It's Prodigy Time.
Don't let rain, dust, or road spray ruin the shot.
Bright Tangerine's Prodigy keeps your lens clear with a 300+ mph curtain of filtered air that blasts away water and debris before they ever reach the glass. No spinning discs, no vibration, no fogging—just uninterrupted performance in the toughest shooting conditions.

Sometimes the smallest tools make the biggest impact. Since its debut, I’ve wanted to bring the Lindsey Optics LF Director’s Finder to NAC customers—and now it’s here!
Designed for location scouting and making confident lens and camera placement decisions on set, the LF Director’s Finder supports Super 35, Full Frame, and Anamorphic formats. Create custom frame lines in seconds for a precise preview of your shot. Works with all PL and LPL lenses. Call today for your free demo, or to rent it.

Ending the week on a busy note with 1st AC Randy Lorenz and Camera Tech Lansky Tuazon prepping the Alexa 35 with an abbreviated set of the Leitz Classic-Crons for a shoot next week for our friends at Sharp & Solid.

Yes, I know these are from different years, but they look cool together. Thanks to Susan Kerns and her entire staff for one of the more enjoyable Milwaukee Film Festivals in recent memory. I've been a patron and a sponsor of the MFF since its inception, and I feel as if it's truly on an upward trajectory and the sky is the limit. Congratulations and thanks to all involved. See you at the movies!

A BIG THANKS to everyone that came out on a not so pleasant Monday afternoon for the North American Camera hosted Happy Hour as part of the Milwaukee Film Festival. Always a great time catching up with old friends, as well as meeting some new ones. Most people adjourned to the packed Milwaukee Show II afterwards. As the festival winds down I can't help but be thankful for what an amazing and fun cultural event the Milwaukee Film Festival is and has been for close to two decades. See you at the movies!

Congratulations to all the local crew that helped make this very enjoyable film.
