ALL HAIL MACBETH: My 1st Time At An Indie Theater!!!

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.” 
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

My Most Epic Documentary I've Ever Made... Still In The Making

It has been a while since I have made a documentary. And recently I have been reasonably busy with my need to graduate and enter the world as an adult. But at some point, I realized how special this time of my life is and how I'll never be this age again or feel the things my emotions are dishing out to me specifically at this time.

I wanted to capture the moments and their uniqueness, and make a film out of it for me to keep and cherish for the rest of my life. I still have six months until graduation, but I managed to make a good trailer out of the footage I have so far.

Sowithout further ado, here is the trailer for my documentary, "Senior", to be released summer 2016 following my graduation.

The Lazarus Effect: Amygdala Overdrive

I do not normally watch horror films, and the only reason I watched this one was because Donald Glover is in it and he is a very awesome man. But once I watched it, I was completely surprised.

How to Make a Movie: My Essay From TV Production Class

Top gun was the movie we were watching as a reference to the elements needed to make certain types of films. I don't know how it ended because the teacher never let us finish since we were playing around too much. I don't even think we made it passed the part when they were singing in the bar. With this in mind, we were all very confused as to why she named the assignment after a movie we barely watched. Basically, we had to describe all possible necessities to producing for television or movies with at least 500 words. Enjoy! (And in case you were wondering, The paper passed with a 98). ^_^

My School Documentary

I made a documentary about my school a week or two ago. My main goal was to capture my experience at the school. What actually happened was a plethora of negative opinions about the place.

A Single Grain of Rice Can Tip the Scale

This morning, I had a thought come to my mind that made me stop and sit down for a few minutes. If you can help me figure this out, that would be great. I really need an outsider's perspective on this one.

Why "The Host" is One of the Best

Like any other movie that originates from a book, this movie was an undisputed masterpiece. I watched about a week ago for my second anniversary with Red-box (free movie promo), and I had to watch it in sequences due to my schedule, but believe me when I say that I made sure to use every free moment to finish the movie. Once I finished the movie, I couldn't believe how great it was. I watched the movie 2.5 times (I fell asleep, so I can't say a full three times). If you're wondering, no it was not consecutive.

4 Things You Should Know About Les Miserables

A while ago I watched Les Miserables. I was interested in it since it received a bunch of good ratings by movie critics. Plus a friend of mine said that it was a good musical, so I decided to check it out.

The Hunger Games Review

The Hunger Games (THG) is one of the best books and movies I've ever seen. The books were well written and the movie portrayed the book to capture the drama and suspense of the story to a perfect degree. There are a lot of good things that I liked about THG, however, there were some complications that I have to mention.

Indie Films

So in my other blog, I mentioned that I listened to indie music. I realize that I didn't really clarify what it is that I liked about it. First off, I should mention that indie stands for independent. Certain media is independent because: It is not developed by a major company, or it is not considered to be attractive to the mainstream society (pop music and major motion pictures with special effects is mainstream). Indie music and movies seems to have more meaning than mainstream, which is why I like them so much.
