Bernie Sanders Documentary 

We've spent a ton of time (2 years) working on this project. I am proud of what we were able to create with just Stephen and I on the road for 48 hours. This is more than just a video, it's a documentary. If you can watch this on a TV, I highly recommend you do. Thank you all for your support!!! And thank you to Stephen for being able to take all this footage and make it into what you see here.

I love that Jared isn't just a "talking head" on RU-vid but an actual working professional. In a world of influencers, it's refreshing. Thanks, Jared.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate it Stephans work on this documentary, from the footage to the final cut, it was so good and cinematic. It’s a perfect example for what i’d like my work to be someday

Jared, I had no intention of spending 50 minutes watching this. However, I was so hooked after the first few minutes that I couldn't take my eyes off of it. You did an awesome job on this!

This is what photography is all about for me. It’s about capturing a moment in time that will never happen again. Taking photos of landmarks and landscapes and all is great, and can be great, but for me it’s about capturing emotion. It’s about capturing people and events in that moment and documenting it. Like you said, it’s about finding the story that nobody will see.

I kept forgetting I was watching RU-vid content. I watched it on my TV and it feels like a NatGeo documentary. Incredible photos, loved all of the BTS footage. And I loved the rolling credits at the end for Stephen... Producer, Director, Director of Photography, Editor... Incredible work, Stephen. I hope you are both proud of this final product. And I have a Bernie book on the way #32 😊

Jared, first I want to say what a phenomenal photographer you are, and say thank you for all your videos/guides. I’ve learned a whole lot from just watching your videos. That being said, I am not a Bernie supporter, but that matters not to me. I’m not here for the politics. I’m here for your insight, and talent, and to hopefully glean a little bit of knowledge by watching you shoot and edit. We, as a society, have lost so much kindness. Just because someone has a political leaning you don’t agree with doesn’t mean that someone is without worth. I am proud to say I will continue to watch your videos, and buy your t-shirts, and buy your fro-packs. God bless you, and keep up the phenomenal work. By the way, I’m 21 minutes into this video and am really enjoying it, not as a conservative, but as a photographer who wants to be a better photographer and, hopefully, bring joy to someone else with my photos.

I just got to watch this in full and WOW!!! Fantastic job Jared! I'm ordering the full kit for myself, son, and grandson to learn from your incredible documentary and see if we can begin a new journey of our own creating moments like you have done! And being from Iowa, I hope you enjoyed our state and are welcome back anytime! Thanks much Jared!

Although I'm not a Bernie Fan...I think you did a fantastic job with the documentary...reminds me of my days as a Staff Photographer for the Delaware State News...Love your work!!

What a piece of art this documentary is. From the photography its self, to the very brief glimpse into what the staff must do to keep a campaign going, and the documentary its self, what a superb piece of work, the pacing of the video was spot on, the style was amazing, its what made watching it so easy, and i was hooked from the start, So massive well done to everybody involved in producing this. And Jared the dream you have will one day become a reality.

I needed to see this. I was able to grab my focus again and remember the reason why I got into photography in the first place. Thank you Jared!

Jared your work is unparalleled, the story telling, the due diligence, the craftmanship of the art in photography. It needs to be seen far and wide, you've created an absolute masterpiece here! 👏

Once in a lifetime experience for you both. Awesome job to Stephen for his videographer skills as well as editing skills to put together this documentary. I really enjoyed watching it all!

I love that you show how it takes more than being a "Photographer" to get the shots. You have to be alert, empathetic, creative, courteous and skillful all at once. This is what it takes. This is what it demands if you want to rise above the noise. Well done sir.

Very much enjoying these longer videos. It provides a much deeper understanding of you as both a photographer and a person, giving all of us more of an opportunity to connect with you. I am appreciating you on many levels. Keep being you. I truly enjoy the stories.

One of the best documentaries, ended up watching the whole video without skipping, good story telling by Jared which gets you hooked to the video.

You and Stephen did excellent work producing this documentary. You should be very proud, happy and pleased how this film came out. Congratulations!

WOW! from the opening sequence to the closing credits,, this was the best single hour spent with You Tube...Thank you Jared and Stephen!

Credit to Stephen for filming and editing this. Everything's top notch, from the footage, to the music and editing. Great job guys!

Congratulations to Jarred Polin and team, this is an inspiring piece of art. This is more than a documentary which I may never get the chance to produce.

This is an awesome documentary. It was great seeing Jared at work and all the meticulous thought processes behind the scenes. It was also great to see how Jared is also human and makes mistakes. That portrait portion was great and I’m glad that was included. I was hooked and could not stop watching from beginning to end. Amazing work.

In as much as I don't agree with Bernie 100%, I am glad you had this opportunity to capture and create. This is an attribute of your hard work prior to this point and after. Good stuff Sir.

I’ve been watching your videos for years! This is, by far, your very best work! So professional! Very educational! So professional! A winner!

Thank you Jared for showing this and understanding the grind that we photographers go thru. I have the utmost respect for you as you go above and beyond. You are not a RU-vidr, content creator or photographer. I think you are a visionary and the video shows the passion you have for the craft. You are above other people in this platform. Kudos to you and your team!

I saw this video was 50:21 and said not a chance am I watching that whole thing…around 7 minutes in I started airplaying it on my TV. Watched the whole thing. Great job!

This is such a great documentary. I am not often hooked on YT documentaries but the storytelling and narrative throughout was great. A great balance between the technical considerations and reflections on what took place. Great work guys!

Yah, Jared!!! Yah, Stephen!!! This doc rocks! You and Stephen ruled this! Like some one has said already “I had no intention on spending 50min…” you should try and put this in documentary film festivals. I always get hooked up when people talk about feelings that each of us, probably, feel and also giving so much insights of many other “little things” that makes all the difference. Awesome! Thanks for this! Could also make up for a “making off”, where you could talk about what equipments and how you two were using in this two days, how you got some of the takes, how you were dealing with battery recharges, data transfers… what went wrong when it did, how you worked it out…

I love those photos where the person isn't expecting it. When they're at who they really are.

Now you know what I mean when I say “Behind the Scenes” it’s the best feeling in the world, Great work Jared!!! 📷🎥🎬

Awesome job Jared and team!! GOD bless you guys!!

Watched all of it, beautiful... both the documentary and the images of the senator and the public, well done Jered.

I feel like liking this video a thousand times......

Although I'm of a different political persuasion I really enjoyed seeing Bern in a real life aspect. As well the lesson by observation you introduced throughout. This, for me, was as raw street photography (in a grand manner) as it gets. This was a great documentary and a great lesson as well as giving a non mainstreem political look at Bern helping to see him in a different light. Thanks for your hard work Fro!

Thanks for sharing this with us. There's so much storytelling going on it's amazing.

What a great documentary Jared and a fabulous narration of what you were thinking and the results you got. And Stephen, you rock! All of it done by the two of you, wow!

Such a well done documentary, Jared. The thing I love about it is that, you didn't make it about politics. He's a politician, yes. But it was about the story of the moments of campaigning. Its not about policy positions or one side verses another. Its about people, the feelings and emotions, and the moments in time. Its about what you were thinking through these few days, what goes on in the mind of a photographer, as someone behind the scenes. This documentary is a tad bittersweet, I might add, since boy oh boy do I ever wish that Bernie had won. He will still always be my choice, a true Man of the People. He cannot be bought, he only cares about PEOPLE. Again, thank you for this, Jared.

Awesome two of my favorite people Sen Sander's and Jared Polis. Frickin awesome ty.

Can't thank you enough for always dropping free knowledge like this !

Loved this sharing Jared, thank you to all who contributed.

One word, Beautiful! Thank you Jared.... wonderful story of Photography

Oh golly! Jared this is stunning, narrated perfectly and captured beautifully! Americans are so passionate. Thank you so much for this, I would normally scroll past something like this.

Watched the entire thing! The storytelling is everything! Someone else can take the exact same footage and tell a completely different story with them... I like how Jared told the story from his perspective as a photographer..

Thank you Jared. What a great story…Bravo!

Who doesn't love the content of this channel? I mean, right?? This though, is on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. I wish we could get this on Netflix for the world to see! This is gold!

Absolutely, All Access is the bomb. I had the great pleasure to have All Access for several concerts by the Charlie Daniels Band. From lunch to boarding the tour bus to hanging in the tour bus with Gretchen Wilson, Travis Tritt and more. Just being part of the wallpaper. Backstage at Billy Bobs, Texas for an AXS hanging in the “green” room with the band for two hours to a private tour of the Cowboy’s AT&T Stadium. Priceless.

Thanks for this doc! not only did you capture the behind the scenes of the campaign but also taught us about how your thinking produced the amazing shots! I learn a lot from all of your videos, and this gave me a lot more insight on the way I need to improve for the future!

This is absolutely a must watch video! Fantastic work man! I truly love this behind the scenes doc.

Such an inspiring watch. I miss covering events for my local city- this video brought back a lot of memories of running around in controlled chaos and trying to capture it all so I can tell the story in the edits. Great work you guys!

Like others have mentioned I did not plan on watching the whole thing but as soon as I saw the passion you have for capturing the moment I was hooked!

Jared, how did you pull this off? I mean, you kept on the edge of my seat as you narrated a photographers behind the scenes! Who edited this video! This is more than a documentary this is content creation at its finest!

Jared! congrats to you and all of your team. Im from Argentina, and i get used to work in campaigns. This backstage documentary re fill my energy! You put a lot of concepts in simple words. Thank you, im a big fan

A phenomenal Masterclass on being a photographer in world full of cell phones where everyone is trying to capture a moment in history. This documentary that Stephen and you created, really brings in the details of what it takes to do the job you've been hired to do. It's a remind to myself that I need to keep thinking of the story that I'm looking to tell with my imagery. Whether I'm surrounded thousands each taking a hundred shots each, or it's just me in a room with my subject. Find the story, get the shots, continue the story, plan the move to the next chapter, close the story. You sir have re-inspired my sleeping mind and it's about to get busy in the lens again. Thank you for this. Truly have appreciated your content a lot over the many many years.

AMAZING, one of the best piece of content i´ve ever seen. I´ve grown as a photographer with jared´s videos, and plan on continuing to do so. Thanks jared!! We´ll be waiting for the next one!

Absolutely great and love the ending .. .VERY powerful@ Thanks Jared,

what a experience that must of been for you, and also a much deserved honor. You captured it beautifully, and tastefully

Loved this! Very inspiring, thank you Jared for sharing your experiences.

Such a neat perspective, thank you for sharing. It is very inspirational to see another photographer explaining their thinking process as they are shooting an event.

Excellent job in capturing this journey! I felt like I was there - proud of you and the team with this work.

I can't believe I spent 50 minutes of my life watching this! I have to say it was 50 minutes well spent. Great job FroProductions! you inspire us all.

Superb to watch, great talent with a great understanding of how shoot outside the box 👏👏👏

Jared.. absolutely love this. Thank you, sir. Very inspiring work.. honestly, seeing you do these videos--from where you started to this... impressive work sir

This is a brilliant documentary and it too was my life as a news and special event (lots of politicans) photographer starting in the early 70s shooting TRI-X B&W and no video in those days LOL. I was you and watching the documentary I was seeing the photos you were about to take and feeling the old feelings again. This was so much fun and reminded me of the old days. I am now retired shooting landscapes as I want to stop zoning-in and shooting like a pro. Trying to get back to being an amateur (for the love) again. Well done sir.

This is awesome. Young and known. Could not imagine. Wish I wax young and could still hustle

Bravo! Thank you… Absolutely fantastic documentary.

I appreciated the film for the art. Good job Jarod and Stephen.

Hi Jared! i just want to tell you that enjoyed every minute of this documentary. You and Stephen did and amazing job.

We need such videos because we will learn so much from others experiences

Beautifully done. I love your heart behind this art.

This was pure brilliance and beauty. Captivating and informative. Bravo!!! 👏🏼👏🏼

This was brilliant Jared. For your years I've been watching your camera reviews. I haven't bought a camera yet but saving up for nice premium camera. And you've got a great sense of humor and personality. So whenever you make a review I watch and take notes on what I'll eventually buy. Watching this video is a nice change up and I hope to see more 👍

Wow! Extraordinary work about an extraordinary person.

WOW! This video was AMAZING! Thank you for sharing it with us. 👍😁👍

I love how these kind of videos inspire me to go out and shoot

Like the post before me, no intention of watch 50 minutes. you had me from the start. One of your best if not the best video I have seen from you. Wonderful work, you need more of this. I would love a followup behind the scenes about your setting and what went into this documentary. Simply a wonder pice of art. Thank you for sharing...

So damn good.

I found this doco fascinating. You have a real gift for telling a story through images. I enjoyed the journey. Thanks for taking us on this crazy campaign trail.

A wonderful man whose ideas could help a lot of people. Well done!

Ya know, watching this and listening to you while I edit a video for the ad agency I work for puts me right into the zone. Everything you say about the lead up and then the execution of taking the photos is exactly what it’s like for me. I always thought I was weird because I moved around so much. It’s even landed me the nickname the photo ninja because I get in, get out and I try to be seen as little as possible even though I’m a 6’4’’ guy. I’m only 6:20 in right now and loving this.

My political beliefs differ from Senator Sanders but man…what a great video you put together. As a photographer this was a fantastic film to watch.

Similar to other comments! I had to Watch it in pieces!! Couldn’t stop watching until I was done! Beautiful work full of knowledge and beautiful pictures 🔥🔥 thanks for the massive work

I live in the UK so USA politics has no interests on me. But from the start I got hook into the story. The cinematography from Steven is amazing, the editing, the pace of the doc is just outstanding. The way the stories is told through Jared is awesome as well. Really well made and it was worth the wait guys. Jared images are mine blown and that shows as well that as being a great photographer you need the right pass and to be at the right moment at the right time. Guys you really knocked it out of the park with the doc. BTW I am watching this after listening to the Raw talk podcast about it.

I've already watched this twice. DUDES. I love everything about this.

An absolute pleasure to watch,learn and understand your process of shooting this amazing documentary video.

Well done guys 👍🏻👍🏻

Wow, this is an amazing documentary. From your recent IG stories I was expecting something more political when I first saw Bernie, I would not mind it Iam not from USA, but this is just pure art. I really enyoed it, great photos, even more enyoing video records with lovely commentery. You were there just for the best photos, not for gear testing and it is visible in the whole movie should i say. Great work, thank you so much for this.

It’s a damn shame that true photojournalism is such a die go art!It’s how I started my career more than 50 years ago! You hit it out of the park with this documentary!

Just awesome. Thanks for sharing this 👍

I know one of the boys in that clutch. Thanks for doing your part Jared. The video is excellent.

Jared, This video had me 100% from the first moments. While retired at this point, I have photographed approximately 1500 special events over 50 years and this was always my method - keep your eyes aware of your surroundings to always be prepared for the unexpected. I teach right now and will be recommending this video for a few of my students to watch and learn from. IT IS FABULOUS AND THOUGHT PROVOKING!

It´s impossible to watch 50 minutes ... until it´s done. Well done, Jared.

this was awesome, thanks for sharing it!

And also every single picture is so unique itself ❤️

Excellent documentary! Learned a lot about event photography from it. And I have to say I love the tone and color of the frame in the viewfinder.

Wow thank you Jared for this beautiful documentary... I am not a big fan of Bernie Sanders or AOC but this gave me a total different perspective about them. Thank you again for sharing your journey as a photographer for Senator Bernie Sanders.

I love this documentary it really tells a story behind the scenes keep up the good work your photos rock

Great video and content. Rock concert...Bernie....pizza maker.....beating Vanessa in a "cheap gear" shoot out you're killing it sir. Not to mention, you're hockey instructional video's were spot on. They helped me capture my daughters team for five years. Thank you as always for taking us along for the ride and the instructional video's you produce for us. Stay safe Jared.

I am a proud Kickstarter backer of yours, great video.

The moment where the portrait of Bernie zooms out with the epic music is really funny to watch without any surrounding context lol. Solid pics

While I am one who cries at movies, I was surprised to have tears in my eyes at the end of this film. To paraphrase an old song, "this almost was ours."

Amazing work. Love it from the beginning to the end!
