Directed a new music video. Shot on Kodak double perf 16mm 7219 (500T).
I wanted to up my game when it came to texture, hard lighting, and color separation.
I was also able to hand crank the camera to achieve 6fps glory.
I love shooting film!!!!

When I was 14, I couldn’t afford blood squibs… so I made my own. I strapped a metal chest to my plate, then taped a blood bag and a firecracker to the plate.
Very dangerous. Very stupid.
Also, don’t judge how crappy the footage looks. I WAS 14.

Why are you mad at a director being able to express themselves without studio meddling? Especially at such a wonderful budget. This is a rarity. Celebrate it.

It’s almost as if you decided to skip over this one to prove some pretentious point. Which is funny as this sole image negates your entire point AND IT CAME FROM THE SAME VIDEO.
Anyways, I’m sorry these people aren’t as cool as you.

SCREENWRITERS! STOP DOING THESE THINGS! I asked friends who are 100% real and work in development and asked what they are tired of seeing in scripts. Here are there answers:
Typing. Real scripts are hand written.

Character arcs
Dialogue
Grammar

Growing up, I was told that doing action cinema was less than. That the only way I can be a real filmmaker is if I make a quiet character study. It caused me to develop a chip in my shoulder.
Because of

This was a truly magnificent print. One of the best I’ve ever seen in my life. The shadows really popped out of the screen. The darkness swallows you whole. Much better looking than the 4K blu ray or the IMAX print I saw 2 years ago.

“My heart aches for cinema”. Why? Because established directors made a flop? There’s other fish in the sea, Joe. Go watch Green Knight, or C’mon, C’mon. Or Drive My Car, or Power of the Dog, or The Harder They Fall, or Pig, or Red Rocket, or Zola, or Riders of Justice.

Christian is an incredible voice in the action twitter world. Give him a follow.
Matthew Michael Carnahan directs harrowing war film MOSUL with propulsive intensity. Every death an unceremonious end; every street a deathtrap of ambushes, volatile factions, and suffering innocents; every battle a chaotic flare-up of ruthless squad tactics versus ISIL cruelty

Life After Fighting was PERFECT. Equal parts character drama and love letter to martial arts. There are montages of fighters training that is some of the most genuine and earnest cinema I’ve seen this year. It’s a film completely unafraid to lean into emotion.

What I also love is the mirroring of Quaritch’s journey to Jake’s. Repeating the “Outstanding” that Jake does. Having to vlog and being uncomfortable with it (like Jake). It’s like you said, god is in the details. And it’s details like that that really make it soar for me.

Thi trick to these films is to forget it’s a Sherlock film. Because, as a Sherlock film, it’s abysmal. But, if you watch it as intended: Lethal Weapon in the late 1800s—then the film SOARS. It’s so funny. And you’re right—their chemistry is phenomenal
