Watch Me Break Down My Entire Short Film. Then, Go Make Yours.
Shot it alone. Edited it myself. Then I ripped open the entire process - where the idea came from, planning it, how I shot it, every editing choice. Nothing hidden.
The course is about 2 hours and 34 minutes - long enough to go deep, focused enough to stay engaging.

I made a short film called "The Void."
After it was finished, I opened the project file and recorded myself walking through how it came together — the decisions, the instincts, the thinking behind them.
Why certain choices landed.
Why others didn't.
Why feeling mattered more than being "right."
I wasn't sure how people would respond.
Then I started getting messages like this:
That's when I realized: the decisions that felt invisible to me were the things people wanted to understand.
So I opened the project file and walked through all of it.
This breakdown isn't about following rules or checking boxes.
It's about how films actually find their shape — through taste, restraint, intuition, and sometimes ignoring what you're "supposed" to do.
If you've ever watched a film and thought, "I feel why this works, but I don't know how to get there myself," this will make sense immediately.
(a quick preview of inside the course)
What's Inside
✅ What sparked the film — and why it took time to come together
☑️ Why black and white felt necessary (not as a look, but as a decision)
✅ How I think about pacing and restraint when I don't want to over-explain
☑️ What I chose to ignore from the usual filmmaking process — and why
✅ Why I almost never open a scriptwriting program anymore — and what I rely on instead
☑️ Why I prefer working with a very small crew (sometimes just myself)
✅ A simple, practical way I think about camera setups before I ever hit record
☑️ The personal philosophies I return to when I'm making something without a clear ending
✅ A subtle, soul/R&B-influenced throughline that some people catch — and others don't
There are practical tips too.
They show up as real decisions, not a "list".
