So you wanna make a movie?

If you are anything like me, you’ve thought about making your own movie before. You may want to write a script, design the storyboard, direct, or maybe all that and more. Well friends, you have stumbled to the right place. I am going to make my first ever short film this summer with absolutely no experience. Over the next few months, I am going to write, edit, film, and make an entire movie from 1/3 of an idea. I am by no means qualified, but this will be a really good learning experience for me and hopefully anyone who tags along. I’ll share my successes and all of my failures. Most importantly I want to have fun and I hope you do to. If anyone gets this on their feed (which is very unlikely because this is my first ever post lol) I want this to be your sign to create something that you’ve been wanting to for a while. Something small or something big. The world doesn’t wait forever so grab your camera and let’s get moviemaking!

If only digital audio files wore out like records?

Interesting to see all the parallels between two artists that you wouldn't necessarily think are related

My two lifelong favorite artists are Rush and Taylor Swift, and I wish I could explain to people that they are, essentially, the same genre. Yes I'm willing to die on this hill

Oh, goody... [large corporation] is destroying [a natural feature]
