Exporting my final film submission for the UCF Film Program today. Final runtime without credits is just under 82 mins! Once this is done, I'll be getting to work on a Trailer and Poster for you all to see. Can't wait to watch the film again with the new score. The journey is far from over...

Onwards and Upwards!

Hello All,

It has been a long time. For anyone out there still curious, the film that tried (and failed) to get financing through a kickstarter campaign has not only been shot, edited and completed its VFX shots, but also has a tremendous composer working on its final score!

Once those music files are in in a few weeks, the five plus year journey of The Sweet Idiot will finally be at an end.

I believe the widespread accessibility of tools for creating content have forced aspiring filmmakers like myself to make content with little to no handouts, and it has been the hardest task I have ever undergone making a feature film. But the end has most assuredly justified the means, and now the only handout that this filmmaker will soon ask of you is that you enjoy the film!

No matter what happens once this film is out of my hands, I will continue to support the notion that it doesn't matter how or when you get it done. It matters THAT you get it done.

Looking forward to showing you more soon. No use pulling away now. There's no point ;)

My thesis film may or may not be screening soon. In the meantime, anyone wanna venture a guess as to what my protagonist sees offscreen?
