How I became a filmmaker. (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Process)
BTS footage from nearly all of my films. Some never seen and a lot of goodness from the Evan Kidd vault. (I almost didn't release this but I'm glad I did.)
When do you become a filmmaker?
If you'll allow me to wax poetic... I dive deep for this personal video essay. Perhaps it's quarantine or the holidays. But I wanted to tell you what no one ever told me about this cinematic journey.

Found the footage on an external hard drive and shot a YouTube video to accompany with 2020 Evan giving context & 2015 vignettes from the documentary that never was. If you like vinyl, DVDs, and old stuff you'll love this.
Scrapped it because I was moving across the country and shooting @SonOfClownsFilm & @RunOfThePicture at the time. Became too much to juggle. Fast forward to quarantine 2020. I get real bored.
I'm releasing a new(ish?) film today!
My love letter to physical media.
In 2015 I shot half of a feature documentary about a local record store closing & the love of physical media. Didn't have enough footage for a full film... so THIS. Enjoy!

I’ve been making a new movie called Panda Bear It for the last three weeks!
Throughout all the perpetual motion of this picture it’s crucial to mark that our doing it is the destination. And that’s pretty special to me. Happily making movies in NC with my friends.
Had a blast at this year’s Full Bloom Film Festival in the gorgeous town of Statesville, NC!
We showed Run of the Picture to an engaging audience & got to meet some incredibly talented filmmakers as well. North Carolina film is thriving!
Shoutout to Full Bloom Film Festival for a great time at our @RunOfThePicture screening + Q&A today! #NCFilm
(We got to meet some other rad documentary filmmakers and even a superstar dog today too.) 🐕
