I don’t think it’s well done, but it definitely ties into the eventual Christian Cope tag team. The “money in the bank” was stupid to begin with. It was a correction that cost a good PPV match unfortunately

I just got another cut of my latest short back from the editor. I’m really happy with the progress. #indiefilmmaking #chicagofilmmaker

Went to the Christkindlmarket in Chicago to replace my wife’s glass panda ornaments. Had to get myself a Tardis. #doctorwho #christmas

This man was in some greatest wars against Rafael Marquez that will go down next to the all time greats like the Gatti-Ward fights and the Barrera-Morales bouts. RIP champ. #boxing

It was a challenge being as dramatic with the lighting, but overall I had a fun time experimenting with the look of the short. #indiefilmmaking #filmsky #chicagofilm

I might have to upgrade my copy of Chinatown to this new 4K scan…

In an ultimate display of “I don’t get the algorithm,” the one short I shot in college in 1 day for fun is my most viewed project on YouTube. If I could only get 771k eyeballs on my newer stuff lmao #filmsky #filmmaking #horror

Classic movie that I also saw in film school. Professor contrasted that with The Gleaners and I which really showed how multifaceted her filmmaking was.

That’s a great pick. The Thing’s practical effects are magic.

I’m still really proud of the color correcting and more importantly sound mix (who thought shooting in a park would be less than ideal?) as editor on this webseries. Got some complements that meant a lot on the festival circuit. #filmsky #indiefilmmaking #colorcorrecting #editing

Congrats! Not only is that quite the journey, but it’s such an inspiring display of perseverance.

What a weekend. Truly blessed for my birthday. Got to hang out all day Saturday at Galloping Ghost and then watch AEW. And today I got to meet horror icons like Tom Savini and Felissa Rose. She got Officer Doofy to sing me Happy Birthday. Got the best friends and family. #horror #filmysky #blessed

We’re getting high… I mean applying primer on these walls on a Thursday night. And yes, I grabbed a can and helped. And yeah I did ask him why he didn’t just grab primer in a can 🤣 #filmsky #indiefilmmaking

There are two people in the White House and in the cabinet that have taken Stone Cold Stunners. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s still really bizarre.
