Thank you @dcshorts for honoring Dream Machine with Best Cinematography! This award belongs to @ian.s.peterson, @ryho.dp, @aleks.color — and our endlessly resourceful G&E team. They made a beautiful film, and I was lucky enough to be there and watch them work.

To celebrate their achievement, I’ve put together a few of my favorite shots from the movie. I think it casts the team in a very good light (DP pun!!!). Much love, and many thanks again to Joe and the DC Shorts team! ❤️

And that's a wrap on DC Shorts international Film Festival 2025 !
I, @joecarabeo_photography program director of DC Shorts for the past few years, am extremely humbled by the amount of filmmaker humanity that showed up to this year's @dcshorts . It's pretty mind blowing and proof that we exist in one of the true mecca's of this filmmaking art form, and I'm honored to call this territory my home base.

This show would not be able to have been put on without the extreme hard work of my festival better half Ana @ideas.canlast @__sway , we function very much like a film director and producer, one can not exist or be successful without each other, and we have to co exist in each other's madness. But I would not climb this mountain of a film festival without her. THANK YOU Ana for taking on my crazy ideas and I'm happy we get to put on an amazing show together.

For everyone who made this festival special by giving their energy, from the venues, panelists, filmmakers, volunteers, I'm sorry I won't be able to tag everyone. But just know that even though I can't tag you, it doesn't mean I'm not thankful from the bottom of my heart for what you gave to us, and that is the most important thing we have, your time.
I'll see you next week!
Or sometime in the future.
