RED Digital Cinema President Jarred Land took to his Facebook account<\/a> to announce he had loaned his brand-new Helium 8K<\/a> to an up-and-coming teenage filmmaker.<\/p>\n

\n

So. Last week I met this guy\u00a0Jonny Mass<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook. He is 19 years old. He sent me some incredible things he has been shooting with his Scarlet-W. I really liked him. So much Passion. In it for all the right reasons. So I sent him my personal Helium8K for 24 hours this week.<\/strong> Just a few days ago. Not sure how he did it.. but somehow… he managed to get an incredible crew together, some talent, some locations and he shot a little thing. Shot in a day and edited, colored and finished it in 8K a day later.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is why we do what we do. For filmmakers like this. Thank you Jonny for reminding me what it’s all about.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Underdog<\/em><\/a> is the final result. Jonny Mass<\/a> and the crew at Abandon Visuals<\/a> really put together a stunning boxing short, one that has great callbacks to films like Creed<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 while totally standing on it’s own as a short film.<\/p>\n
