Just because A Hall may have some financial success, why does that automatically mean he should be expected to give money to any homie who needs it? Not saying Owen doesn't deserve it or that it would be wrong for him to. It is wrong though to expect him to do so. I really hope the homie gets fully reimbursed and more for lost camera gear. As a filmer/photographer I can understand how devastating that would be. Something few people realize is how personalized a filming kit is to a serious filmer. Re-gathering every bit and piece is often impossible in the same exact way due to things going out of production, secondhand acquisition, etc. You build a rig that fits together perfectly in your case, and may not work in any other scenario. My point being that I feel for the homie who as previously mentioned from Ahmet, releases a bunch of free content to the internet for our enjoyment. Lastly, I say this as an informational bit only... Meaning absolutely no shame on Owen or anyone else in a similiar scenario but insurance for camera gear against theft is realllyyyyy cheap. Like you can protect $10k+ in equipment for like $100 a year. It's great piece of mind for those who travel and are heavily invested.
