sitting through every credit roll like its a post credit scene cause one random assistant editor or production coordinator could end up changing your whole career filmmaking got me treating movie theaters like networking events everybody wanna talk about making movies but nobody talks about how much of this game is really just paying attention and building real connections with people who actually love this shit follow me if you tryna make films and build something real from nothing #filmmaking #cinematography #filmmaker

if you ever get the chance to be around a director like Roberto Rodriguez and you serious about this you better lock in for real dont just stand there like its a meet and greet watch everything listen to everything write everything down like literally everything ideas moments random thoughts the way they talk about scenes the way they think on the fly all that matters they not just talking they building a film in real time and if you not catching it its gone be a sponge soak it all up dont let that opportunity pass you follow me to support my indie action film and learn more real filmmaking gems #shortfilm #filmmaking #cinematography

This how it be when you step on set for the first time, especially in camera. I was lowkey lost my first time on set, but you just gotta find someone on the crew who’s patient to teach you the ropes. Needless to say now I’m the camera man, bro. It’s all about the crew… Apertures, Komodos… Follow me to see my first indie film when it releases #doctorsofphotgraphy #rayj #funnymarco #cinematography

This stunt took ONE take… BTS vs Final Result 

Behind the scenes of #TheHummingGrows with acclaimed stunt actress and star of the film @karate.jewels 

With our stunt coordinator @theortizexperience , Jewelianna and Justin brought their expertise from Cobra Kai, Blue Beetle, Black Panther, Black Adam, and more to set and it paid off. 

Pulling off an action film this short limits your resources. We had only one day of rehearsal a week before shooting to nail down the choreography. 

We knew everyone was prepared day of. When it came time to shoot the scene, we quickly gathered together and slowly went over it one more time. 

Once Jewelianna, Justin, and the director @aughbars were ready to go... Camera rolling, mark, and action! Talent: @karate.jewels , Cade Shepard Stunt Coordinator: @theortizexperience DP: @lukeparkcine Sound: @trevor.rockwood Director: @aughbars Producer: @tmhigg
