Link in bio. Big news! XY is now streaming on YouTube! Go watch for free and consider a donation to one of the charities below. —- XY is a short film that explores the double standards between trans existence and cisgender male privilege in America - where identity is regulated, but guns are not. Find out more at xyshortfilm.com Creators Statement: This film was not easy to make, and we don’t expect it to be easy to watch. We made it because trans people in America are under attack — not as a metaphor, but as a political and physical reality. Their right to exist in public life is debated by politicians as though it were a policy question and not a human one. The spaces where they find community, safety, and joy are increasingly targets. We wanted to make something that looked that hatred directly in the face and didn’t turn away. What follows contains sexual content, themes of stalking and gun violence, and targeted hatred toward the transgender community. We made the choice to portray these things honestly — not to shock, but because looking away felt like its own kind of dishonesty. The hatred in this film is real. It exists in the world. And we believe it’s the job of cinema to hold a mirror to that, even when — especially when — the reflection is painful. We made this film for X. For everyone who just wants to go dancing with their people and make it home safe. Our hope is that it leaves you unsettled in a way that stays with you. — Stephan & JL Please consider learning more about and/or making a donation to one of the following charities: translifeline.org transequality.org transjusticefundingproject.org Trans rights are Human Rights. #transrightsarehumanrights #shortfilm #transrights #queer #indiefilm

Love. Compassion. VFX Breakdowns of the Latest Punisher thingy.

One of my favorites…

Worked hard over last weekend.

Check out my short film at xyshortfilm.com

The humans are dead. We’ve poisoned their asses. With dangerous gasses…

Repost with the dumb subtitles fixed. Let’s get dangerous!

Back in town after a mini-vacay to London and Paris. Did I miss anything this week? In all seriousness these guys brought it. Fun fact. This location barely allowed for any practical blood so what you saw was about 95% CGI blood and guts. Not our normal way of doing things, but something that 8 years of doing this prepared me for. I thought the team at @elranchito_vfx absolutely slayed this sequence! Also everyone top to bottom was extremely nice and professional. It was a great shoot!

If you haven’t checked out my short film yet it’s streaming on YouTube. Xyshortfilm.com takes you right there. Shot on the Alexa 35 with Cooke s2 anamorphics for the cinephiles out there. I’m gonna do a few breakdowns of how we achieved some clever VFX shots in the future :)

Fill in the blanks.
