@o73films @mmihpodcast Gosh. I don’t know. I’ve never worked with that camera. If it were me and I was hearing a lot of differing opinions I would probably test the options for myself and decide what looks good to me and/or what‘s the best workflow considering my post-production pipeline

@gypsyfilmmaker @mmihpodcast @alrikb I’m feeling majorly inspired. Thank you. And I’m happy to report this new phase of my creativity is ego-less which is something I’ve been searching for. The next year is about killing the ego and feeding the id.

@saintdepraved Most of my shorts were no/low budget

Man’s Best Friend - $2,000
LONE - $0
Over My Dead Body - $3,000

So I’m not afraid of doing something for little to no money as long as it’s the right idea. And given these budgets I‘m confident I could make a decent $50k feature film

@saintdepraved @mmihpodcast @alrikb Hi Simon. I’m open to anything. I’m just going to continue being picky about what I engage with. It’s just when I see filmmakers like Alrik saying “yes” more often than “no” I have to accept that if I continue being choosy I may never direct again. And I’m ok with that.

@jamesdcreviston @mmihpodcast Thanks for the offer to edit or co-host

@Isaiah_Sturge @alrikb I love this @Isaiah_Sturge and I’m so glad you understand the way I’m pursuing my creativity and don’t think any less of me for doing it this way.

@driveincreature @alrikb I’m glad you found us and are enjoying our ups and downs

[Timothy Plain @TimothyPlain]

@JBPixel @mmihpodcast Thanks. Even though my writing is not great, I enjoy doing it. And I love that it costs me nothing!

@JBPixel @mmihpodcast I think this is the sitcom @alrikb directed a few episodes of: https://t.co/XsjA021FxS

@wchinsee Don’t you worry about me. I feel really good actually. I’m just working on refocusing my energy away from the grind and towards what inspires me. I’m switching up my priorities.

Here's proof that I've been obsessed with making an Indiana-Jones-esque movie my whole life. This is circa 1991, when I was 13 years old.

@jointpartners I hope this is true

I thought I understood how games were made but this conversation with Remi taught me a lot. They are made kind of like movies (or maybe animation), but there’s a whole lot of other stuff to consider. https://t.co/s8007ITX46

@jamesdcreviston I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of it. I’ve already read it five times this year so I can understand it as fully as possible.

[Timothy Plain @TimothyPlain]

@jamesdcreviston Thanks. I feel good. I’m excited to keep writing.

[Timothy Plain @TimothyPlain]

@jamesdcreviston Then this is the book for you! Let me know what you think about it. At the very least, it’s a good memoir but I think he’s onto something with the way he approaches the page.

[Timothy Plain @TimothyPlain]

@jamesdcreviston @mmihpodcast @alrikb On Writing is great, I really love that book. I read it for the first time in 2001 when I was working on becoming a novelist and writing a bunch of short stories. I never figured out a good way to apply his techniques to film writing; but for fiction, it’s spot on.

@theminnimallist Nice. Good ones!
