Starting a business as a #freelance #filmmaker making #commercials and #web /#social videos feels like being a door-to-door vacuum cleaner sales person. With 3 major product differences:
1. Mine is more expensive;
2. Mine will hopefully make you money;
3. Mine doesn't suck.

I just finished watching TÁR.
It is simultaneously an exploration of and a critique of abuse by people in positions of authority or power. Why was none of this in any of the previews?

I started a new business making short videos (commercials, etc.).
A new business means a website redesign.
Also, here's the new digital face of The BXi:

My support for the #WGA is that I am boycotting/not watching/advocating others not watch any show that goes into production during the strike.
This is already starting to hurt.
But either I support equal pay and equality in the industry, or I support slavery.

The #WGA is now on strike. They're asking for a living and sustainable wage for new writers. The billionaire bosses are saying no.
If you want to stand with the writers who are most singularly responsible for the content you enjoy, here's where to do that:

With each commercial I make, I try to do something different so I'm always learning more, getting better at my craft. With this :30 second spec for Cla-Val I wanted to do something entirely in the digital space:

#blender is an incredibly free and powerful #VFX tool, with one major drawback: it's got a STEAP learning curve. Jacob Zirkle's videos are really helpful and accessible (they're free on YouTube):

The speed of this is a bit dizzying, but consider that the software used to create this scene is Blender (read: free!) and what's possible is kinda extraordinary:

Within Hollywood there is the idea of imposter syndrome. The more famous people get, the more they feel it. When we look in the mirror, we see ourselves, the same self (for the most part) that we’ve always seen. And then there’s the narrative society tells us.

Yes, I do this. Yes, I've probably done it to your photos. I don't share them because I don't want to take away from whatever glory you might feel about your original shot.

I remember when I started Twitter it took a while to find people to follow. I'm having the same trouble with Spoutable. If you see this and know people who talk about the following, let me know:
1. Cinema
2. Science & philosophy
3. Activism (BLM, Indigenous, etc.)
4. Thought provoking (not trolls)

I don't know what the "normal" scale means.
I don't know that I care enough such that it will affect my behavior.
But, I am curious.

My energy before was about taking leaps and magical thinking. It didn't work.
A decade later...
I'm on the path of taking small steps right now.
So, I'm making spec commercials and trying to build my filmmaking skills and a business.
