Every Couple Says They're "Bad on Camera" — Here's Why They're Wrong

In this episode, wedding filmmaker Kyle Hustis breaks down the craft behind his energetic, personality-driven films and makes the case that confidence, not gear, is the real skill most filmmakers are missing. He walks through how he directs couples on the wedding day without compromising their experience, his "18 ways to shoot one moment" approach to staying creatively nimble, and why the couples who insist they're "bad on camera" tend to become the heroes of his best work.
