I desperately need to find my way into this.

Hey, If you would be interested in viewing a short documentary about the incredible impact one person can have on their community... may I humbly suggest our film "More Than Convenience"? https://t.co/eHj8ruPg7H

Dear YouTube, Gmail, Facebook… whoever. Please stop suggesting a comment I want to make or email I want to send. I loathe it. If I want to say it… I will. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Our new short doc "More Than Convenience" is available to watch now. It's the story of a store that built a community, and then died after 123 years. It's a pretty special project to me, so I'd love to hear any thoughts! https://t.co/dlIDaKkDPK

Hot take: with low hanging TIkTok’s and random dance videos getting millions of views, we’re back to quality over quantify. I genuinely believe a great piece of material with 500 views will do more for you if the right person sees it than a dumb piece of “content” with 5 million

Quick note for young parents: Everyone is going to tell you there is some age where your kids won’t want to be out with you… in my experience (thankfully) this does not have to be true. Our teens are all great hangs.

Every AI post that I see makes me more compelled to tell deeply human stories. It turns out, few things make me more energized to both write stories and interview humans than seeing bland averaged out approximations of our lives.

Boo.
In 2020, I was told we couldn't cast an actor from Game of Thrones in a movie because he didn't have a million followers on Instagram. He had Nine Hundred Thousand.

Hey filmmakers here's my experience after 30 plus years. Most people who like your stuff generally don't write anything about it. They don't tweet, they don't post, they just enjoy it and that's it. You have to get used to that. They have other things to think about than you.

Hey #film pals, how is it feeling out there? Still pitching? Or have we entered "leave it for the near year" time?

A few months ago, I had the great pleasure of directing a series of short videos for the Foothills Country Hospice. Perhaps surprisingly, spending time at the hospice was one of the most uplifting experiences of my career. https://t.co/DXtttyjXWc
