Holiday Movie List


Its about that time of the year again, and this post has been a long time coming; here's my holiday movie pick that'll be sure to bring the "fam" closer together.

Letters from the Past


Throughout my younger years there were times where I would try to imagine what my future self would say to my younger self to tell my future self in the different future. That is, at the moment I would envision what myself would tell me to tell myself in case the future I had envisioned changed. I would leave these letters littered throughout various papers so that in the event I would find them my current self would be able to reflect upon them. 

Some of them were cryptic one liners than even the most mystic soothsayers would not be able to decipher with ease. Some of them were meaningful and full of optimism. Others were from a darker time and carried a darker tune. 

Regardless of what they said the message was always the same: "As usual we're probably not where we want to be, but I know we're where we need to be." Even now I wonder if those words were to be of encouragement to strive for my dreams, or words of humility because I crave for more.

The Road so Far



Production Notes:
My path has been a strange and adventurous one; the last time I posted things were very, very different and since I've lost some and gained some. Some rose, some fell, and some are out of the game altogether. Regardless I miss them all.

I may or may not have mentioned this before via this blog, the other blogs or social media, but I am almost done posting/ working on the story lines and lore on Blogger. This does not mean that I am forever finished sharpening, honing and curating all that I've put up here (mostly because what is here is the tip of the iceberg and has been altered in more ways than one), but that I am planning on moving everything here to my own website where everything will be alluringly organized and easy on the eyes. That being said I will not be posting any character renderings or images for the sake of ease during this transitional period.

I am going to start vloging as a form of documentation of the journey from where I am now to where I am going to be. Basically covering the transition and whatever may come. I'm out of college now and I'm not sure how to go about things other than playing it by ear, so I hope the vlog can help others decide on how to act or what to do after college. Don't worry peeps, I haven't been moping around these past few years, I've been busy trying to graduate, collaborate and put a spin on things.

Hopefully all my research and readings will pay off when the time comes as far as aesthetics go for any writings (commentaries, research, short stories, format, structure, pacing), images (cinematography, photography, renderings, designs), whatever else I happen to post, etc. At the end of the day I hope that the content helps you (plural, anyone, everyone, everybody) in life if not entertain you. In case you're wondering when exactly all this will be going on refer to the schedule below.

Production Schedule Until Further Notice:
  • General content is to be release every Friday the 13th
  • Vlog or blog updates will usually appear during the ides of March
  • And once every six months there will be a major release (short film or a public release of project material [basically a major update])
Of course I will be uploading occasionally in-between those dates because there’s more than six days in a year. If I have something ready and furnished completely it might go up sooner than expected, and if you're following me on Instagram, Twitter or have me on FB you'll get sneak peaks of things to come (I'll be on Snap Chat soon). That’s about it for now, all this will be in effect this- Friday...
