Hello and Happy New Year!  It feels great to welcome in 2025.  

It goes without saying that last year presented many challenges for our industry; however, all signs seem to point toward busier times ahead.  

In 2024 the Focusbug Community expanded beyond having over 2000 Cine RT Systems in the field working on a wide range of film and digital features, television series, independent productions and more.  This year we look forward to releasing the OV1 Overlay Module and FLEA Serial Interface Module in the spring, and to announcing new products in development.  

Please stay connected with us through our news updates, mailing list, and contact options at focusbug.com.  We continue to be amazed by all the love on Instagram and strive to push your posts and stories back out into the community on the daily.  

For those wishing to dive deeper into our international user community, we invite you to help us shape our new social media initiative on the Discord app.  Many of you have expressed interest in interacting with our team and other ACs on the platform, so please download the app and join us: https://discord.gg/c8FqeQfz .  

We believe Discord will provide great opportunities for sharing news, info and feedback about the Cine RT System and everything camera-related. Additionally, we are excited to engage with you in a closer dialogue about our product development path and plans for the future! 

Looking forward to building the Discord Focusbug Community together!  Note:  We encourage everyone to use their real names.  After all, we are all on this big camera truck together!
