You can read or you can play and listen. “Filmmaking Has Always Been Intimidating” what about #SmartphoneFilmmaking? Just over a year ago, I sent you a message that is even truer today! #IndieFilm

I have always enjoyed capturing candid shots a lot more than people posing. Photo by me with iPhone 13. #SDCC #SanDiego #SmartphoneCamera

For many years speaking and addressing smartphone filmmaking, I’ve tried to convey how our stories are part of a collective story about humanity that includes all of us, if we choose to participate. There are many ways to share stories with each other, but narrative film is the best, in my opinion.
