I AM DISCONTINUING USE OF TUMBLR. If you wish to... →
Yep, I said it.
F Tumblr.
I used to love Tumblr. I really did. And not in an “I’m addicted to scrolling and reblogging” way. I was posting all original content, all the time. It got me some recognition. It got me nominated for some film magazine awards. It got me thousands of followers. That’s cool. But Tumblr is different, I’m different, and the whole scope of how...

ending up being a 17 hour shoot. Those extra two hours were extra tiring. Why do Fisher’s have to be so damn heavy?

15 hour day ahead. Time to rest up… not. Editing Car Trouble.

I’m beginning to feel like a real person.
Things need to change. Not “things should change,” but instead they need to.
I refuse to accept this from myself.

Maryland Filmmaking or: How I Learned That It...
It was day one of Car Trouble’s principle photography. We were an hour behind schedule, and had many frustrating moments of waiting due to cars passing by and ruining our shots and sound. I wouldn’t say that tension was high, but it is safe to say that people were stressed. I was. Then again, when am I not stressed while on set?
I heard the words “Sound speeding”. I hit...

Reputations
From what I have come to understand, in film your reputation is pretty valuable, as it is in life in general. No one wants to surround themselves with undependable people who they cannot trust. Not even untrustworthy people want to be around untrustworthy people. Who would? When you give your word to do something, you do it. If you don’t, you are by most definitions untrustworthy. On...

Car Trouble →
Click the link to go to the indiegogo page for the newest short film I’m shooting, “Car Trouble”.
Please, please, please, at least check out the video, and read some information on the film. You’re scrolling through Tumblr, so you clearly have nothing better to do.
Also, check out the facebook page for the film and “Like” it!
Something needs to change.

Home sweet home
I have been home in Maryland now for a couple of days. It’s been a pretty enjoyable extended visit so far, and I am looking forward to the rest of my time here. I’m also looking forward to going up to Massachusetts and down to Florida within the next couple of months. Those’ll be good times.
Today I shot a promotional video for “Car Trouble”, a short comedy I am the...
Four Days
In four days, my first year in California will be over.
Crazy, isn’t it, that I created this blog to “track my journey” from Maryland to California. My journey has been tracked, and beyond. I originally wrote about my desire to move out here, and then about my preparations to do so. I wrote about what I’d be doing once I got out here, and then it happened: I got out here.
...
Whoever invented rendering...
They can go ahead and just… experience something really, really bad.
Just completed a 160 shot shotlist.
Yikes.
Are there any filmmakers who follow me on here...
I guess not…
Everything will be alright.
I like being paid to do things I'd do for free.
Tonight's Shoot
The shoot tonight went very well. I was Key Grip. The shoot was a trailer for a book, I think called Born to Die. The director also made the trailer for the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Look it up!
Anyway, the shoot was fun.
Tomorrow morning I might have to drive a 25’-ish boxtruck. I’m pretty terrified.
I have a lot of work to do tonight. My editing project must be...
Did I already say "Work overload"?
Right, I think I did. Let me emphasize this. WORK F-ING OVERLOAD.
I’m MONTHS late in editing this short (thus probably destroying my editing reputation with this group of people)
I’m key gripping a Dirty Robber shoot tomorrow all day
I have an editing project due six days ago
I have another editing project due in a week
I have a presentation in my History of Critical Analysis...
Work overload
I really want a bicycle
So little to do, so much time to do it in
Wait… scratch that.. reverse it.
There she goes
Spending the week with me lovely girlfriend.
Who flew all the way out here to visit me!

Please help me here, people. I will greatly appreciate it.
If you’re a lady, you’re practically paying the same price for a stuffed animal, which you will get if you donate, and I know you were going to buy one anyway so there’s no excuse!
Girls love stuffed animals.
You can’t argue with that logic.
Okay honestly I was going to have Julian add $10 to...

I now have a light meter, follow focus, and a couple of great lenses. I have tons of gels, gaff tape, and everything else. I just need some lights, and I’m set.
