June 9, 2025 • 70 mins
Today, it seems like every aspect of life—film, music, health, politics—has split into opposing sides, constantly at odds.

Editing Can Save Your A$$!!

May 16, 2025 • 21 mins
Editing a film is one of the most challenging and often overlooked aspects of filmmaking. It's where the story truly comes together—or falls apart. No matter how brilliant the script or how breathtaking the performances, if the edit is off—if the pacing drags, if scenes don’t flow, or if crucial emotional beats are missed—the entire film can suffer. Editors are tasked with making thousands of tiny decisions that shape the viewer's ...

Why Is CASTING So HARD!!!??

May 16, 2025 • 25 mins
Casting a film is one of the most challenging aspects of filmmaking because it requires a perfect blend of artistry, intuition, and logistical precision. At its core, casting is about finding actors who can not only embody the characters but also elevate the material in a way that feels authentic to the story.

May 16, 2025 • 24 mins
Finding your story to tell in a film often starts with something deeply personal. It may be a memory, a feeling, or even a question you’ve never quite answered. The hard part is knowing what’s worth telling—and that’s where doubt creeps in. You might ask, “Is this interesting enough? Hasn’t this been done?” But storytelling isn't about novelty alone—it's about your voice. What makes your perspective unique is how you’ve lived, what...

Directing! Why Would Anyone Want To Do This!_

May 10, 2025 • 27 mins
Directing a film, for me, is about choosing the lens—literally and metaphorically—through which my story will be told. Sometimes I step into the role of a visionary, focusing on visual composition and mood. Other times, I’m deep in the trenches with the actors, working to unlock raw, authentic performances. With And On That Day, I found myself blending multiple approaches. There was a minimalist stillness in the park bench scene th...

Hey Actors!!! You're Responsible Too!!

May 8, 2025 • 25 mins
An actor's responsibilities on set go far beyond just delivering lines.

What Is a Filmmaking Style and Why It Matters_

April 30, 2025 • 27 mins
When people talk about a filmmaker's "style," they're really talking about the signature choices a director makes — the way they use visuals, sound, pacing, and storytelling to express their voice. Filmmaking style is what sets directors apart even when they tell familiar stories. Think of Wes Anderson’s symmetrical framing, Quentin Tarantino’s sharp dialogue and sudden violence, or Christopher Nolan’s manipulation of time. A filmm...
