Apple has kitted out an aspiring documentary and music video filmmaker with a Mac Studio and an array of accessories, in what it's calling a "Dream Studio Makeover" project.
Filmmaker Cam Blumberg had been struggling to make films on a 2018 MacBook Pro with 512GB SSD. He's now been given at least $6,795 worth of Apple gear, plus further accessories including a 24TB external drive.
Apple first reached out to Jared Polin, who runs the popular "Fro Knows Photo" YouTube channel, asking for help locating a worth recipient of this "Dream Studio Makeover."
Cam Blumberg was chosen and invited to a tour of Polin's own studio, where he was surprised with devices including:
- Mac Studio
- 14-inch MacBook Pro
- Studio Display
- iPhone 13 Pro Max
- HomePod mini
- Magic Keyboard and Trackpad
Blumberg's work can be found on his Instagram channel.

I made a documentary on the Beatles that premiered at the Toronto film festival on a 2017 MacBook Pro. The film is in the process of being sold to a major streaming service so his 2018 MacBook Pro is more than capable of making films. Grab an external hard drive for 100 bucks and you have a film studio, maybe buy Final Cut Pro or use iMovie for free. Viola’. I’m not discounting Apple‘s Noble gesture but to suggest he was struggling with a 2018 MacBook Pro is dishonest. -Tony Guma
