Going through my phone and seeing those edits from the last weeks Friday Night Films - makes me want to share them with you. Here are some backstage videos from last week ! I am so stoked to be able to offer this #communityevent for free to all of you ! I am grateful to all filmers getting their edits together for those events and stepping out the comfort zone to be in the spotlight for once ! Cause photographers and videographers are mostly not the ones wanting to be in the front !
