It's 1 year ago. I'm on set in Croydon for the third day of filming. It's our last day in London before production moves to Wales. Today marks our first day featuring the fantasy world of The Husk. We've got 7 pages to get in the can today. Will we make it? www.patreon.com/chadmichaelw... #scriptsky

Help! Like many, I'm short on funds to cover bills this month. Four $5 subs to my Patreon would help that gap. If you enjoy the art of indie filmmaking, my page shares production journals, script pages and general thoughts as a writer-director. www.Patreon.com/chadmichaelward

"How the hell did you get to make a feature film?" It's a story that started in 2019 on a rooftop in London with little more than a feeling in my gut. Where it went from there, no one could have predicted. You can read about my journey here: Patreon.com/chadmichaelward

Got the ADR in for our Alabaster the Blind character in FAIRY DUST. One of the only characters that didn't have a voice on shooting day. Hearing the "real" voice finally is so, so, so cool.

Yo internet friends. Get yourself some artists on your timeline. There's a TON of amazing artists still out there making incredible stuff. Seeing it will bring joy on your timeline and you never know, maybe you end up purchasing some incredible art made by humans.

FILMMAKERS, SCREENWRITERS, and BANDS! We all know AI sucks ass, so if you've got a movie, a screenplay, an album cover or any other poster-type needs, you're gonna want art made by human hands*. Let's talk about getting you set up with something wicked for your project! *It's me, I'm human hands.

Today I learned how to make mucus/goo by boiling linseeds. Used it for a gloriously disgusting insert shot for A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE that we shot today.

Getting all my ducks in order for my winter writing session. Yesterday I outlined 3/4s of a paranoid horror film about a woman stalked by her doppelgänger. Today I'm outlining a supernatural crime thriller that's a bit CONSTANTINE meets MANHUNTER. #scriptsky

REALLY enjoying THE HOT SPOT. Haven’t had time to finish it yet, but it’s a weird little film that feels right at home in early 80s dystopian sci-fi. Reviews complain about the bad acting due to Polish actors having to read off English cue cards, but I think that adds to its vibe. #filmsky

In a world of AI slop and bloated CGI blockbusters, I am insanely proud that I got to lead a small band of artists to make this micro-budget, epic, dark fantasy film. We're so close to the finish line of post-production now...

Ayvianna Snow in the recording booth, doing her ADR as "Mother Ghost" for FAIRY DUST. Might be one of my all time favorite characters in this film.

Okay #scriptsky I’m looking for some scripts to read (and can give some brief notes if you’d like). The rules: should have a solid draft (ie something you’d happily send to a contest, no early drafts please), horror, sci-fi, fantasy preferred. Dm me! First 5 responses get a guaranteed read.

On the ferry coming home from a conference in Finland. Sleep deprived. A Swedish guitarist is on the stage destroying covers of CCR at max volume. One more hour at sea.

3 months left until FAIRY DUST hits the finish line & things are quickly coming together! Kevin Riepl just handed in a RAD end credits score that feels straight out of 80s dark fantasy cinema. ADR and sound design is next! Have you joined our Kickstarter and ordered the BTS book yet? Links in bio!

It's crazy but maybe totally predictable that after Adria Lang (Dexter, Devil in Silver) directed an SCP Foundation short picked up by DUST with 8m+ cross-platform views (most viewed of the year, I think), rather than someone greenlighting her for a feature, A24 hops on one made by all dudes. Sigh.
