I haven’t really journaled here since May, wow. Since it’s been so long I have a lot of updating to do. Let’s get into it.
Filmmaking
So what am I up to now? It’s been 4 months, so you deserve to know.
Lighting for Cinematography – Summary and Notes a great book on lighting, especially for people who don’t know the first thing about lighting like me. Even tells you other books to read to get better. Even with the most advanced postproduction coloring software, it is still preferable to begin with a full-range, deeply saturated […]
Making Movies by Sidney Lumet Summary and Notes How great to have an entire book written by a great director. Of course a lot of great information here. I need to see some of these movies I haven’t yet seen that he talks about. He seemed a little bitter in the end, but he had […]
Independent Ed: Inside a Career of Big Dreams, Little Movies, and the Twelve Best Days of My Life – Summary and Notes – Some good advice. He started out winning Sundance with his first film and ended up in a movie like Saving Private Ryan, so it’s hard to sympathize with the guy when talks […]
10 Things I learned screening my movie I couldn’t find any info about how to screen a movie properly, so I guess I’ll be the one to tell you how I went about it. And what I learned in the process.

Still getting b-roll, and makeup shots. Nothing complicated but still having to fit it into everyone’s schedule is a pain in the ass. But I can see […]
I finally finished filming the movie. I finished a week ago but just now getting to posting this. The last scene was the hardest to book, not that hard to film. Cold Emailing an actress that she’s going to act in a guys house, massaged with her bareback showing, walk past a guy wearing nothing but a […]
Hoping this is the last month of filming. Here’s where I’m at right now. I have enough right now to produce the movie. But I feel like some scenes could be better. There’s 1 b story that hasn’t been filmed at all but has been really hard to cast, as it involves massage therapy so ever […]
Awww shit dawg. I’m down to only 5 more days of filming mother trucker. Sorry, I haven’t taken so long to update what’s going on but I felt I’d be best served by just focusing on making the movie. But I’ll do it anyway. Helps me document my progress and maybe even help other noobs. I’m […]
