Telling a good story through film isn't just about recording; it's about discovering! Storyfinding goes beyond the lens to dig deep into the roots of the narrative space. Before the cameras roll, we engage in robust research and countless conversations. And believe me, your audience may not have the words to describe this when watching, but they can feel it when this is done! Why? Because the strength of a story is measured by the depth of its characters and the authenticity of its context. It's about listening with intent, exploring various perspectives, and uncovering the heart of the story that needs to be told. In this film we created alongside Friends of Westchase, we applied these story-finding principles to create a compelling narrative that resonated deeply with our audience. Dive into the process where every character's voice adds a unique layer to the narrative, paving the way for films that are not just watched but felt.

Are you the average of the five people you spend most of your time with...? Here's another short clip from my interview with April Chavez on her show, The Wellness Driven Life Show. We discussed how after I went through a multi-year long healing journey originating with mold exposure/challenges, my perspective changed on the kinds of video work I wanted to do. Full Quote from Jim Rohn, “You're the average of the five people you spend most of your time with”... what do you think, is it true? #jimrohn #healingjourney #shiftingperspectives #digitalmarketing #videoproduction

This is yet another proof that AI is here to stay. Robert Zemeckis' latest feature film is at the same level of content quality as all his other movies but with the added exponential enhancement of storytelling and visual narrative through Generative AI. Training their models with factual actors' historical information delivers a de-ageing process like no other; Metaphysic.ai continues to break ground! I can't wait to see this film. It already feels like another excellent, feel-good tearjerker. 😎 #MetaphysicAI #GenerativeAI

Gosh what a whirlwind of a week. Earlier this week I attended the CenterFrame #GetItMade Summer Mixer to speak to #directors and #producers to find out about their vision for my short 'Like Buses' Described by the organisers as like speed dating, they couldn't have been more right! With finding a connection, a spark, with someone being the best way to decide amongst an incredible talent on offer. I did indeed find that spark! More on this later... What other take aways do I have from this experience 🤓 🎬 This industry is about more than just good ideas and great stories 🎬 That nurturing talent and connections is paramount 🎬 You could have the best script, offer, showreel in the room, but sharing in that vision is worth more because it's the only thing you can't change So what were the deciding factors? 💡 That my script had sparked their creativity beyond the story 💡 An alignment of personal values and drivers 💡 Understanding and trusting that the story and characters had been created very specifically and seeing it for that 💡 A desire to invest in me as a person not just my work It was fascinating to hear how other creatives interpreted the story. I had a very varied response! So what were the things that made me wonder if this was the right fit? 🚩 Missing the theme and the tone completely 🚩 Underestimating the value of the interaction and relationships of the characters 🚩 Not being driven by the story, but by the outcomes they wanted to achieve from this process 🚩 Underestimating my knowledge and experience and how I came to write the story in the way that I did I'm a reflective person, and will go away and digest this list, understand why that was 🚩 and if there's a way I can reframe their approach. In this context, these did feel like red flags, but it's very likely in another context, these would be typical responses (as the writer) I'd have to adapt to. I recognise I have the luxury to choose who and how I want my script to be realised. I'm so grateful to Bernhard Pucher, Arianna Steigman and Nathan Haines for the opportunity to experience this! #Film #short #screenwriting #script #opportunities #aspirations
