Last year I made a film with some wonderful people, and it's Oscar qualified and this is voting week, so I'm gonna make FYC posts until Friday. We're a tiny film that cost less than the 1st Starbucks run of most "real" films, so if you can share that would be awesome #fyc #independentfilm #shortfilm

Before I went to Tokyo last month, I had never shot CineStill800.
I plan to shoot more of it. I'll post some
more this week.

Sometimes it rains in LA.

Sometimes you discover that your film back has light leaks.

I brought out the big boi to try and get that iconic "LA with snowy mountains in the background" but the weather wasn't done quite yet. It looked interesting so I still blasted a roll. Might try again tomorrow.

This is a good writeup about it, you can get it from photographer's formulary.

I like it because it stays stable for a year once mixed and the results I've had so far are really quite nice.

Dear Bluesky #IndieFilm people:

I'd love to see you at the premiere of The Hemingway on Feb 22 or 23 in LA at the #SlamdanceFilmFestival

Tix can be purchased for the Unstoppable short film block here if you don't want to buy a pass to the whole shebang.

Finally getting my home-processed Pyrocat HD thing going. Still lots to dial in, but an OK start.

got myself some pyrocat-hd, and the boy asked "so what, are you trying to be Walter White?" and i said "no, more like Minor White" and he didn't get it.

OK so big news: the short film that I made this past year with my long time collaborator Patrick O'Brien just got accepted to Slamdance in the "Unstoppable" category.

I can't wait to show the whole thing, but for now here's a trailer.

Switching from Skate to Portrait. Because I was a busy person over the weekend, here's a 2-fer from a crazy windless video shoot at the Sultan Sea as a fire raged up in Big Bear. #oneshoteveryday
