Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (Super-Size Me, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold) is proof that self-made success can be had. And with today's increasing content demand, there's never been a better time to get your game on. See my special presentation with Morgan from the 2012 NAB Show. We discuss how unique ideas, the right tools, and a DIY approach can give filmmakers more opportunities than ever.

In this episode of The Rough Cut, we visit the creative team behind J.J. Abrams's production company, Bad Robot.

Learn all about their approach to picture editorial, visual effects, sound mixing and editing, and much more! Plus, a fun and informative live Q&A session in the Bad Robot bullpen to top it all off!
