'The Resident' creator Amy Holden Jones turned down editing E.T. for Steven
Spielberg so she could direct her first film before she was even 30. It's one of many bold decisions in her trailblazing career that would eventually see her become an A-list screenwriter and major TV player.
Earlier in the week I had the pleasure of spending the evening chatting with Marc Jobst (The Witcher, Daredevil, The Walking Dead) about directing action. Sharing some of his insights and techniques 👇
A still from my submission to The Landjäger Shortest Film Festival, a competition of 12-second films. It was quite a challenge to be so brutal in edit, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Video link coming soon, as the stars still need to see it and give their blessing, but it's past their bedtime. 😁
This week I had the pleasure of attending the competition screening for Doc-in-a-Day, the 36-hour documentary filmmaking competition organized by London Documentary Network. The judges' feedback was gold and I took notes! Here are six tips that they shared to help filmmakers take their documentaries to the next level...
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't get why Vimeo is the standard for where people upload short films and indie projects. The quality has been pretty horrid for me. Videos are usually pixelated and take ages for the HD version to load.
So excited be releasing our short film, "The Untimely Revenge of Waffle"
This project happened quickly: From a call for scripts to wrap in less than eight weeks! So many people put their work and their hearts into making the project a success and I am so grateful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as a first-time producer/director.
I am looking forward to what you share (Thank you!) and hope you enjoy what I have to share.
And I am starting today with a #documentary short from last year: "Save a Rock" is a really cool initiative by the Spanish Geological Survey IGME-CSIC to preserve its geological heritage.
