SOMETHING ABOUT THE TIDE is a feature-length coming-of-age dramedy for those of us over 30 that asks the question, how do we measure our self-worth? Written/produced by me!

Every week I get movie box office reports in my inbox and I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY OF THESE FILMS. Where are movies being advertised these days?!?!?

Whenever my son plays “store,” I go in to buy things and then he pays me.

Something About the Tide - Film and Storytelling | Seed&Spark
When a 30-something recovering addict learns that her Japanese mother gave up a previous child for adoption, she must bring home her newfound half-brother to fulfill her mom’s dying wish. But there’s one problem — he’s the perfect child she should have been.

I just supported the short film I AM A GENTLEMAN. You can too: seedandspark.com/fund/i-am-a-...

I first read this script back in 2020 and it blew me away. It “came across my desk” again last year and it continues to be my favorite short script of all time. I can’t wait to see the film.
I Am A Gentleman Short Film - Film and Storytelling | Seed&Spark
Male violence is an epidemic, and in the world of I Am A Gentleman it's an expected part of growing up: from the moment Max hit puberty, he's told he will want to hurt girls. But is it biological like they say, or is it societal conditioning?

I set up facial recognition to unlock my laptop sans make-up. I’m now wearing make-up. My laptop no longer recognizes me.

in my decade of making AD I've learned a lot, but perhaps the most important lesson is: do not write, act, AND direct. one or all will usually suffer.

I also wouldn't recommend acting out a panic attack if you already have those, BUT if you have to do ANY of this, do it w @juliamorizawa.bsky.social

I did that thing today where I answered the phone and, as suspected, it was spam. And after listening politely for a couple minutes, I said, “Hello? Hello?” as if the service was cutting out (which it wasn’t) then I hung up. So yeah.

All these constant “box office flops” for big Hollywood movies that cost $200-300M to make. Let’s reinvest that money into 50-100 $1-10M indie films with story and character development. If you want to make your money back.
