I break down filmmaking, movies and great story telling through a filmmaker’s lens - analyzing cinematography, storytelling, direction, and the creative choices that make films work (or fail).
This channel isn’t about surface-level reviews. It’s about how films are made, why certain choices are effective, and what filmmakers can learn from them.
Expect film breakdowns, scene analysis, and occasional filmmaking lessons inspired directly by movies.

My horror drama is almost finished shooting!
So it's time to start the editing process. Which starts slow with the syncing all of the audio. Live stream #02 will be coming at some point today.

New Day New Tripod
So tomorrow I’m recoding a short review video on the new tripod I’m working with for my regular production work.
I’ve really ever had two professional tripods, one purchased secondhand almost 20 years ago and 10 years ago. So writing this it appears I upgrade every 10 years haha.
So I’m in a position now to check out the @SmallRigGlobal @PotatoJet Tribe SE.
I have mostly good things to say and hopefully i can get the video out quickly.
