extremely true

For the recorder/mixer, something like a zoom f4 would be a good start. they're also on the cheaper end without losing any functionality. If you want to ask anything else let me know! I do on set sound full time and would love to help out any way I can. Super interested in your film!

If you're starting from scratch trying to buy ever thing you'll need, even cheaply, will run you at least a grand USD. But if you're able to, look for some used stuff on facebook. Sennheiser G3 wireless mic packs are super common, relatively cheap, and sound pretty good.

I'd strongly recommend finding a local sound mixer in your community, usually they'll have a lot of their own equipment so you won't need to worry about too much on that front. I'm not sure what your budget was from your kickstarter, but even hiring someone fresh out of school would be a big help

What specifically are you looking for?

just start to internalize the fact that you surround yourself with kind and loving people. it takes a moment to sink in, but once it does you'll never doubt yourself again
