r/filmmaking is a subreddit with 52k members. The community frequently discusses film, short film, short, advice, and filmmaking, and they frequently recommend/review cinema camera, phone camera, and podcast, and the most common flair used is question, discussion, technical show and tell (not promotion or shorts), and article.
Filmmakers, indie or other, this is our official space to discuss whatever we want. Hang out, ask questions, talk about equipment, technique, etc. This is not a place to advertise your work (like sharing shorts, surveys, etc), but more of a gathering space for us to talk shop or get help.
We recommend do a search first or Google before posting.
Welcome!
