Niles Grey is a filmmaker. This week we discuss the benefits of shooting films with a “small footprint,” as Niles puts it.

With a little help from small hardware add-ons and apps that give users access to manual controls, people like Niles can (and all of us) can create content that defies the expectation of such a ubiquitous piece of technology.
