Satisfaction is a happier option.

Successful people are never happy.

Dystopian.

The ‘90s had a vibe I still can’t get over. 🎸

A lot of people in our lives told us you had to be “born an artist” like it was an addition to being human. It wasn’t. All humans are born artists. There are many art forms, and some have yet to be discovered.

Dogs know the truth about everything. Meanwhile, cats know all the secrets.

Happy Friday, Steven!

The OG “Remote Worker” was us looking for the remote for our parents.

I’m always scaling a balance between the film and the storyteller. However, there is always the audience.

From eternity to beyond there will/could never be too many/enough films/stories/art.

We will lose the power of storytelling if we allow tech to create cameras and software that we cannot control. Experimenting forever is a trap I know well from my 18 years involved with mobile smartphone film and video. It’s about supply and demand.

I don’t feel money deserves the power it has over an entire human race. I also feel storytelling is very much underrated when it comes to power.

One of the reasons I write tons more than I publish.

The budget for one 30 second commercial can exceed feature films. I know this because before I got into video & filmmaking in college I wanted to write commercials.

Humans aren’t the only ones who have emotions. We’re just the only ones that create stories about them.

A lot of people don’t realize the importance of credits in a film and why they run so long. Every single part of the process needs to be credited. Congratulations to your son, and to you for inspiring him! 🎬✨🌟

Check out this Green Head Ant in a water droplet refraction shot! And made using the iPhone 17 pro Max and Moment 75mm Macro II lens.

That’s impressive!

I’m self-convinced that the OG automobile was intended to be a Time Machine.

The cool thing about mobile filmmaking is that you can start a project and finish it. Yourself.

You can write the story, you can produce it and you can share it, all with your phone.

That was my intension in creating the “Ultimate Mobile Film” category for the International Mobile Film Festival.

We were all born to be ourselves. Our stories define who we are.
