Currently in the murky waters that is editing, which is both fun and frustrating. Also still raising money to help cover production and post expenses. We're £260 away from our £7500 stretch goal. Indie filmmaking, as always, needs all the help it can get. Details: tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS
Well, damn.
These posters for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth are the greatest thing ever? #art

WHEN THE SHADOW YEARNS TO BREATHE
A devastated young woman must come to terms with life and death when she encounters something strange deep in the forest.
This horror short was the first thing I shot here in Sweden back in 2023. Let me know what you think!

A visual poem that I shot with Soja during a very brief trip to Dartmoor back in 2024. Annabella Rich provides the emotionally stunning voiceover.

AZRAELLE
One of the first, and probably prettiest, things I shot when I bought my Blackmagic 6k. Eden Tijerina is absolutely heavenly, and I'm honored that she let me come spend a sweltering summer day on her farm to shoot this with her.

SCRIPT TRADE
"The Space Between the Trees" is an 8 page folk horror piece that serves as the prologue to a feature film I'm writing.
DM me if you'd like to trade your short script for notes.

Re-read this one today and it remains my absolute favorite script I've written so far. I had such a blast writing this OTT Kevin Smith meets Sam Raimi stoner bloodbath. If I have another opportunity to make a film after FAIRY DUST releases, I really want it to be this one.
Brad's out there killing it with THE GREY LIST, and 2026 will likely be another hit as well. For 2025, my splatter horror-comedy DOOMTOWN made the list. If you're interesting in reading what might be my own personal favorite script, you can request a read here: www.bradmjohnson.com/the-grey-lis...

That said, I AM learning a fuck ton about DaVinci Resolve, color grading, audio mixing, and temp scoring as I go, so thumbs up for the new knowledge base.

Filmmaking is a weird beast. You spend a year locked away writing the script alone. Then you’re on set for 2 wks with a dozen people like a mini-army battling to bring the film to life, then you go lock yourself away again for another year alone in the editing room. Absolute emotional whiplash.

No lie detected.
Nothing on television, when I was a kid, got me more excited than this.
And it was shown multiple times during the holiday season.

4 drafts in, and FAIRY DUST is getting to a place where it feels like a real film (iykyk). Cannot wait to show this one to the world when it crosses the inevitable finish line.
