Being The Filmmaker I Want to Be
This past month has been a real eye opener. Besides reinforcing my realization that I need to start hiring editors for my projects, it has lead me to think a little more carefully about being the filmmaker I want to be instead of going with the “norm” when it may not be the best for [...]

Becoming a filmmaker is a big step that requires you to use and have access to many resources in order to not only make the best films you can but to handle all tasks not related to a specific film project. There is a lot more to making films than just the movies themselves. I [...]

When I first watched this movie I liked it but didn’t like the ending. It felt like “oh god, not another lazy writer who wants us to finish telling their story to ourselves”. But a day later the movie kept playing in my mind. I just couldn’t let it go. Eventually it began to all [...]
