Human, Filmmaker, Husband, Father, and any other tags you wanna toss on there ❤️

I gotta apologize in advance to anyone who chooses to follow me here 😅

It’s probably gonna be 99% film related stuff and then like 1% personal life stuff. I’m gonna be talking about the things I love or putting my projects out there for y’all to see!

Just a disclaimer of what’s to come ❤️
After fearing my order would get canceled and i wouldnt get this limited gem of a steelbook, IT FINALLY CAME!!!

Semi-regular reminder: never ask “Is it *worth* watching?” when it comes to a movie. Go watch movies! Form your own opinions! Have your own experiences! Your life will be better for it ❤️

Just realized that I own 2 movies that I haven't seen.

- The Outwaters
- Dunkirk

My reward for when I finish this project is that I'm going to watch them both on the same day in a quiet dark room.

Back to it to earn my reward!

For all the ideas floating in my head that I want to put to film, I still hope one day to see/make a Bloodborne (or as close as I can get without getting taken to court) film.

Imagine someone nailing the vibe on the silver screen...

A few weeks ago, I got my first on-set experience on someone else's set as a grip.

Today, the Indiegogo campaign for that film has went live, and I have the really cool honor of announcing that I edited the trailer! First time editing for someone else!

Went through a master course on color correction
Wanted to practice on something.
Completely recolored / slightly re-edited my short film from October
Story is still broken, but happy with the look!

Dislike a movie?

I highly recommend watching anything twice. You’ll be surprised how mindset and circumstances change your taste on a movie. Many movies that weren’t my jam the first time became classics to me because I decided to watch it again.

Take a chance! Go again!

Off to an editing class for the next 4 days!
Keep investing in yourself <3

Another wedding booked!
Now have on the books for this year to film:

- 1 personal short film
- a local 52 hour film challenge
- A wedding in August
- A wedding in September

So many other goals for this year, but in short, the plan is working 🥰

Incredibly grateful ❤️

New independent (literally) film study:

Going through all of the independent films that I physically own to absorb every bit of BTS/Bonus Features/stories/lessons that I can!!!!

Yes, I own an abysmally low amount of indie movies. I’m working on fixing that as I work toward owning 1000 movies!

Always take care of the people who invest and believe in you.

I’m less happy when I’m not making things.
I need to go make more things, and soon.

I need to see every single frame of BTS possible and learn as much as I possibly can from how they made this movie!!!

Absolutely insanely talented filmmaking on display, with a true one-take for 90 minutes, that just kept me locked in for the entire time! This was PHENOMENAL!!!

I think people forget how much of a great movie Super 8 is…

An incredible movie paying homage to one of the greatest to ever do it while containing an earnest love of films and making them, all while simultaneously being a great film itself? Wonderful ❤️
