Finally saw MALCOM & MARIE. Loved the concept and the grainy 35mm monochrome cinematography. Reminded me of a modern day CONTEMPT at certain points, but with a very different spin. What’d you think?

I’m not saying that I want to shoot every movie

I’m not saying that I want to shoot every movie on an iPhone... But if that was the best option I wouldn’t hesitate for a second. It’s never been about the camera. Producers don’t care what you shoot on. Either do festival programmers or distributors. The only people who care are a handful of your peers, some of whom have used gear as an excuse not to create their own work. Don’t let that rub off on you, making stuff is always a good idea. 📱 🎥 🍿

Based on popular demand, I’ve decided to start creating movie-themed LUT packs that will be available exclusively on CINECOLOR.

These packs will be available for a limited time only (usually a month or less), and will be permanently retired afterwards.

To kick things off, I’ve decided to create and release a pack inspired by the film MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. These images are some quick samples of the LUTs applied to the same shot without any additional tweaks.

Below is a description of the pack:

This very limited time movie-themed pack is inspired by the remarkable aesthetic and gorgeous colors that Mad Max is known for. Each look included offers a unique treatment that evokes one of the unmistakable palettes from the film. Bleak warmth, desaturated grit, magenta and teal, and even "black and chrome" are all present in this stylized but understated pack.

The Mad Max Pack is only available until 02/28/2021.

Ultimately this pack will be priced at $49, but the first 50 people to order today will be able to get it for $36.

To pick up your Mad Max LUTs today, click the link in my bio.

Be sure to get yours before they are gone... Enjoy!

I’m feeling a bit generous this month, and have decided to give away $1000 to a filmmaker to put to use on their next movie.

UPDATE: @bryanehill has generously offered to match my $1000, so we will now be giving away $2000 total!!

This giveaway will run through The Backlot - my new community for filmmakers.

All current members of The Backlot are eligible to win the $2000 along with anyone who signs up as a new member within the next 72 hours.

To sign up for The Backlot, click the link in my bio.

Just in the first month, we’ve had some amazing guest speakers, our first pitch session/cocktail hour, and even had Blackmagic Design join us as a sponsor, offering select members access to camera loans on a first come first serve basis. And this is just the beginning.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is the time to do it. Not only will you be able to take advantage of all the member perks, but you’ll also be eligible to win the $2000.

And better yet - in addition to the $2000 grant, I will also be giving away a $500 gift card to B & H at our meeting tomorrow.

That means if you join The Backlot today, you are eligible to win both the $500 B & H gift card AND the $2000 grant at the end of the month.

If you don’t sign up today, but you join in the next 72 hours, you will still be in the running for the $2000.

Join The Backlot today by clicking the link in my bio and you will automatically be entered to win both prizes.

And more importantly, you’ll have immediate access to our amazing community, with over 5 hours of educational content already in the archive, and countless meetings, events, guest speakers, and more coming your way in the coming weeks.

I can’t wait to see some more of you there, and best of luck in the draw!

It was an honor to interview @ponysmasher, director of SHAZAM!, ANNABELLE: CREATION, & LIGHTS OUT, about his amazing journey from no budget filmmaker to studio director.

David is about as great a guest as I can imagine on this show. His story is a case in point for making your own films and not waiting for permission – As we talk about throughout the interview, after years of working in documentary and animation, David decided to make some no budget short films with his wife Lotta. One of them in particular – Lights Out – was shot in just one day with no crew, and ended up going viral on YouTube. This attracted the attention of Hollywood and the rest is history.

Throughout the interview we talk about David’s journey from no budget filmmaker to studio director, the biggest challenges he encountered along the way, advice for filmmakers who aspire to direct studio films, what makes someone a great director, and much more.
