Every time I watch The Godfather I think to myself “What happened to acting in Atlanta?” Marlon Brando and Al Pacino absolutely destroy their roles as Vito Corleone and Micheal Corleone respectively. Then you compare them to the biggest actors today, and I can’t help but wonder when we stopped caring about acting. Everyone is […]
The film industry is reaching a breaking point. Action films at the box office have completely flooded the market to the point where they are almost indistinguishable from one another. I saw John Wick 3 recently, and I went in expecting an ok story with some amazing action sequences. My bar was already not that […]
When I started film school, I couldn’t tell you the difference between a producer and a director. Many of my fellow classmates were in the same boat and they did not know all Atlanta film jobs on set. Actually, one of the best things film school did for me was clarify the responsibilities of each […]
When I was younger, I used to watch movies all the time, arguably more than I watch now. Something I’ve been doing recently is going back and watching all of my favorites. Many of them held up over the years and some of them didn’t, but something I realized while watching these movies is that […]
Animation in Movies The stigma surrounding animation in movies is that they are made for kids. Adults watch “real movies” and kids watch “cartoons”. However, many animated films tackle adult themes and are sometimes more graphic than live action films. I recently watched Princess Mononoke for the first time, and it really inspired me to […]

These movies are putting […]
Directing has always been my passion. I’ve done it my whole life. I started with lego stop motion movies and then moved onto short films as I grew older. Over the years I’ve learned and realized how to be a better director. It takes a lot to be the head of a project, but the […]
When it comes to making movies, they don’t happen overnight. They take months or sometimes years to complete, and the shortest part of production is actually filming it. This is all possible because of the organized individuals that keep production on task. Although, this has been a major problem on sets I have worked on […]
Filmmaking is one of the few industries that decided, it’s ok not to pay people for their work. This is because there are those who are passionate enough about what they do that they will work for free. This leads to a problem for new filmmakers, because they are constantly stuck in a loop of […]
Filmmaking has always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was little, I was making films with my legos or with my friends. One thing that has recently started to get to me is: how important is film? At its core, it’s just making movies for people to watch. However, it is […]
