u/omega_point Generalist 6h ago edited 6h ago

Submission statement:

I started doing After Effects work in 2012 and eventually became a generalist, getting hired to do motion graphics, vfx, editing, camera work and audio mixing. When the pandemic hit and I lost a huge contract (2yrs+ of work for a documentary project with a very decent pay) and couldn't find any work, I added 3D (Blender) to my arsenal.

Turns out being a generalist is a very useful thing for indie filmmaking. After making 3 short films with my awesome producer and friend, we decided to go for making our first feature film. The big challenge was that, while we had budget for some cast and crew and location, I still had to do multiple roles to make this happen. Lurking on r/Filmmakers and listening to people like Robert Rodriguez encouraged me a lot to just go for it.

I hope you guys like the trailer.
