Omg it's not a UFO?? But I thought the government never lied...

I just edited the #WeaponsMovie trailer to have Sweet Dreams as the soundtrack, for fun :) 🍿 #filmsky #film #weaponsmovie

Jimmy Kimmel's worst case scenario was moving from prime time to a podcast. Mario Guevara's is being shipped to El Salvador and facing more of the persecution he fled 20 years ago. If that happens, the chilling effect will be impossible to measure.

Hot take: cars have gotten so powerful that it doesn’t feel like they’re operating at a sufficiently manly RPM when driving the speed limit. So, ironically, that gender-affirming car or truck feels emasculating unless speeding, which has big downstream costs to society.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Late night bike rides on my farm 2. Finally getting a tricky drum fill right 3. Meeting others who appreciate Dead Poets Society 4. Ice water + a shower after a run 5. Taking a perfectly focused photo on a manual lens

Good news: Just arrived in Toronto for #TIFF, coming from Winnipeg. Bad news: Cameras aren’t allowed at TIFF 🥲 which makes sense, but that means I’ll only be taking photos at the place I’m staying, since it’s a 45 minute bus ride from the screenings…)

A reminder on this Labor Day: Slavery still exists in the form of incarcerated labor. It’s long overdue to end forced labor in prisons.

Bluesky’s trending topics accurately sum up the reason I’ve been using this app so much less in the last few months:

I think about this kind of thing a lot. Unfortunately, it seems that every attempt at legislation in this area end up restricting the freedom of people, and tightening the grasp of tech giants.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Good thread about a totally regular experience trying to report on tragic events in B.C. (and probably the rest of Canada). Officials here are so accustomed to getting away with offering nearly zero details. It often takes years for a trial or coroners inquest to get worthwhile official accounts.

Just went through all 633 sound effects on my computer, slowly collected over the last couple years as a #videoEditor. Amalgamated, trimmed down, sorted, tagged ✅ Have yet to figure out a naming system, but that’s a project for another day.

Biggest lesson from going to my first film festival, as an aspiring filmmaker: connections are EVERYTHING. And: the film industry is freaking crazy (but also awesome)

A shitty thing made 100% of the way is infinitely superior to the perfect thing abandoned partway.

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Sharing this #Crownfell Metal Edition trailer again because I love it so much: (shot and edited by @velichor.co) It will be available at the Indie Games Night Market, PaxU, Nov 22, at @marcelineleiman.bsky.social's table. 🧡

Relatable.

Wrote this a little while ago about my relationship with my laptop and phone :)

Legacy is important, I think, as long as it’s defined as what we leave behind in those who experienced us and our work — not statues, words in history books, and awards. I don’t want history to remember my achievements, I want people to remember my smile. But im only 18 so what do I know abt legacy

Any other #filmmakers here on Bluesky? Making a feed and a starter pack.

Haven’t posted here in a while. Went to Gimli International Film Festival, and now I’m about to go to #TIFF. Crazy summer.

SO EXCITED. Will only be able to go to one or two films today, but there are still 4 days to go, so I’ve got lots of time. #filmFest #GIFF #filmSky

Filling out my lineup for Gimli International Film Fest. Wayyy too many amazing options. I suppose this is a good problem to have.

I seem to remember stories better than facts. I can't tell if that's a positive or negative as a journalist.

Nice.

ALERT THE INTERNET! (the few who have not yet been alerted, at least)

Had SO much fun making this! Go watch it, please. For your own good.

The #Crownfell Metal Edition cards:

The world is weird.

Very fun puzzle game. Takes your mind off greedy billionaires and incompetent politicians 👌 cluesbysam.com

Played a game called Wroth today with @weheart.games and his brother / my uncle. I had forgotten how much I love playing (and winning) board games.

70s music is underrated. I should definitely use some in a film.

Started listening to Dear Hank & John today. In #413, Hank mentioned a Tweet he wrote. I was disappointed. Then, John mentioned that he’s on Bluesky (@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social). My day has been made. And, apparently I was already following Hank (@hankgreen.bsky.social).

Aaand, this is just about the worst one: abcnews.go.com/US/murder-vi...

I think this is the best video about AI I've ever seen. #video #ai

I use Arc Browser, but likely not for long. 🧵1/4

Presenting is fun. Writing a script and making slides is less so. I will survive.

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

1 minute short film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MwF...

Winnipeg cyclists build their own bike lane, because the city is taking too long, and declare @thewaroncars.bsky.social

#Andor should be on #Letterboxd, like every three episode segment as one film or something

Turns out having genuinely good #videogames on my phone has a genuine impact on my screen time. (1/5)

Auggie found me (as she always does) #caturday #cats #catsofbluesky

Newest #shortfilm of mine: Evening Calm. 100% worth the 2-minute watch, especially for lovers of #tea.

Any #poetry starter pack recommendations?

Watched #DeadPoetsSociety yesterday, and I am still heartbroken. A true cinematic masterpiece. New favourite film, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ on #Letterboxd. Aghhhhh

Seems like a good place to start.
