    I Paid $50 to Get Rejected...So What?! Wanna FIGHT!? ;)

    Film festivals can be exhilarating experiences, offering filmmakers the chance to showcase their work to new audiences, gain critical recognition, and connect with industry professionals. When they go well, festivals serve as springboards for distribution deals, press coverage, and even future funding. There's also the electric atmosphere of being surrounded by other passionate creatives, where ideas flow freely and the energy of storytelling is celebrated. A great festival gives your project credibility and opens doors that might otherwise remain shut.
    On the flip side, not all festivals deliver what they promise. Some are poorly organized, sparsely attended, or charge hefty submission fees without offering real value. A filmmaker might travel hundreds of miles only to discover that their film is screened at an inconvenient hour to a nearly empty room. In these cases, the experience can feel more like a money grab than a celebration of art. While every screening has some value, the wrong festival can sap your enthusiasm, waste your time, and leave you questioning your next move. 3 Ways to Use Film Festivals Effectively: 1. Network Strategically: Don’t just attend your screening—attend panels, mixers, and meet-ups. Bring business cards and a short pitch about your film. Your next collaborator or investor might be in the room. 2. Build Social Proof: Use photos, laurels, and festival selections in your marketing. Even a small festival adds credibility, and you can highlight awards and nominations across social media and your website. 3. Leverage Local Press: Reach out to local media where the festival is being held. A story about your journey or your film’s theme can generate buzz and attract more attendees—and maybe even industry eyes.

  • “The Power of Finishing Ugly: Why Done is Better Than Perfect in Filmmaking”

    “The Power of Finishing Ugly: Why Done is Better Than Perfect in Filmmaking”
    2025/05/06
    There’s a myth in filmmaking that your project has to be flawless before it’s worth sharing. That myth has paralyzed countless talented creatives who sit on scripts, edits, or entire films, endlessly tweaking and doubting. But the truth is this: done is better than perfect. The power of finishing—even if it’s “ugly”—is one of the most underrated tools a filmmaker has. With “And On That Day,” I faced major challenges—budget limitations, losing locations, having to rework key scenes, and even recasting roles last minute. But I made the decision to finish it, no matter what.
    And let me tell you, finishing wasn’t easy. There were moments I wanted to walk away. There were editing days where nothing felt right. But I kept going. Why? Because once a film is finished—even if it’s not everything you imagined—it becomes real. It breathes. It teaches. “And On That Day” ended up screening at festivals like Manhattan, Tennessee, and Golden Door. Not because it was a perfect film, but because I followed through. I let it live. And in doing so, I grew—not just as a filmmaker, but as a storyteller who could push through chaos and still create something meaningful.
    So if you’re stuck, wondering if your film is “ready,” remember this: Ready is a lie we tell ourselves to delay the uncomfortable truth—it’s fear. Finish the film. Share it. Let it be messy. Let it be raw. But let it be. Because people won’t connect with your perfection. They’ll connect with your persistence, your passion, and your courage to finish ugly.

  • Sequels, Reboots, and CGI-Driven Spectacles! STOP IT!!!

    Sequels, Reboots, and CGI-Driven Spectacles! STOP IT!!!
    2025/05/01
    In an industry often dominated by sequels, reboots, and CGI-driven spectacles, a quiet revolution has been taking place—one that signals the triumphant return of authentic storytelling in cinema. Audiences, perhaps fatigued by formulaic blockbusters, are gravitating toward films that offer originality, emotional resonance, and character-driven narratives. Two standout examples of this shift are Everything Everywhere All At Once and The Holdovers, both of which not only broke through the noise with fresh perspectives but also achieved critical and commercial success. These films remind us that, at its core, cinema is still a storyteller’s art. In recent years, storytelling has made a powerful return to the forefront of filmmaking, as audiences increasingly crave narratives with emotional depth, originality, and character-driven arcs. This shift marks a departure from the heavy reliance on sequels, reboots, and CGI-heavy spectacles. Films like Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) exemplify this trend, blending sci-fi, drama, and absurdist comedy to tell a profoundly human story about identity, family, and purpose. Made on a relatively modest budget, the film became a surprise box office success and swept the 2023 Oscars, winning Best Picture, Best Director, and multiple acting awards—proving that originality and storytelling can resonate deeply with global audiences. Another standout is The Holdovers (2023), directed by Alexander Payne, which brought audiences a warm, character-focused holiday film that felt both classic and refreshing. Featuring Paul Giamatti in a quietly powerful role, the movie earned critical acclaim and audience admiration for its sharp writing, emotional sincerity, and timeless themes of loneliness and connection. Both films succeeded not by relying on massive franchises or flashy effects but by embracing authentic storytelling—demonstrating that well-crafted, original narratives can still captivate audiences and achieve both critical and commercial success.
