The academy banning films made by humans using a computer to optical print rendered mathematical equations out on film one frame at a time for Tron in the 80s is a false equivalency to the push-back against extruded, pixel-guessed output against generative LLMs. These are not the same things.

Production on our feature, "When We Sleep" is going great! Here's a selection of rushes from our dailies thus far. We love how this is coming together! A small, skilled crew and beyond talented performers are bringing this story to life! #whenwesleep #independentfilm #filmmaking #kcfilm #filmkc

On-set a few days ago shooting for Wicked Deeds Chapter Three! Chipping away at it! #wickeddeeds #webseries #independentfilmmaker #independentfilm

We're on set this coming week for the next shoot day for Wicked Deeds Chapter Three! It's a slow burn passion project, but every chapter we grow and learn and create stuff together as a team! #wickeddeeds #webseries #independentfilmmaker #independentfilm

Wrapped this morning at 730 am. Had the best time surrounded by the best people on a set! #filmmaker #independentfilm #actor #actorlife

Today's walk in the park was much needed. youtu.be/IfFXknZmk2A #red #redraven #dsmc2 #mir37mm

A frustrated Dancer has fallen into isolation and monotony, when a curious Stranger appears who must help her rediscover her joy for dance and life before she hits rock bottom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSZ5... #shortfilm #independentfilm #filmmaker #filmmaking #kcfilm #mofilm #movie

If you can't create or add to light because of location or other restrictions, then you have to FIND the light. Once you've found it, use it, cut it. Look for ways to shape the light and scene blocking and movement to the existing light's fullest potential. #cinematography #filmmaking #photography

Not rejoicing at the US being shut out from trade in a way it never has been, but it’s an opportunity to shoot film and TV at container yards and ports while they’re not being used. 😲 Kinda racking my mind for any stories that need that sort of location 😝 #film #tv #ShootingLocation #SilverLining

It's been a slow go of it lately with outside projects, but we're in-development for our first feature film! The script is written and we're going through story editing before we dive into budget, look, locations, all of the million other things. #filmmaking #filmmaker #featurefilm #film

When I'm working on a script, I like to attack the editing through the spectrum of emotional states. Write when you're happy, sad, excited, lethargic, pissed off, etc. For me, sprinkling in all the myriad perspectives lets me discover deeper moments in the story. #screenplay #writing #script #film

Last night I watched, "Out of Sight" (1998) Tonight, I watched, "All the President's Men" (1976) #movies #films #watchingfilms #filmwatching

I've been working on my feature-length screenplay this past week after getting back some thoughts from trusted individuals. It's the second draft so a lot has changed; it's so exciting to see the differences between the first completion and the edits! #screenplay #independentfilm #writer #writing

Camera prep for a few gimbal shots on #wickeddeeds #webseries from the other day. Don't need to go to the gym for a while now. #redraven #zhiyuncrane #rokinon

On-set tomorrow. We're filming outdoors at a park for Wicked Deeds and it looks like it'll be a lovely day!

I had such a great developmental chat session with a great friend today about my latest script. Her ideas are golden!!!

We released "Stranger"!!! We shot this in the summer of 2023, and had a blast through the whole thing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSZ5... #shortfilm #independentfilmmaker #independentfilm #nobudgetfilmmaking #filmmaking #filmmaker #filmmakers #kansascity #filminkc #kcfilm #zcam #zcame2s6

We're a week away from an outdoor shoot, and it _might_ rain? Here's hoping it shifts off by a day! 🤞

‘It was very visceral for the actor to see that light’ --> How a new kind of safe flash gun for interactive light, linked to the camera, was invented for 'The Penguin'. An excerpt from issue #29 of @beforesmag.bsky.social magazine. beforesandafters.com/2025/03/21/i...

Our next filming day is in two weekends! It's really slow going working around schedules and people's day-jobs, but it's all worth it! #wickeddeeds #webseries #independentfilm

I did not do myself many favours on-set when I shot this scene! So many lessons learned here, not just in working through the comp, but on how to better prepare on-set for next time! #fusion #fusionstudio #davinci #independentfilm #zerobudgetfilmmaking #filmmaking #filmmakers #shortfilm #webseries

Don't make your art for anybody else; most people won't care and those who do won't care consistently. Those who care the most are the ones directly involved in its creation. Make your art for you, not commercial or generic interests. Communicate your eye, your ear, your voice, you.
