Bro came dressed like he’s about to shake her dad’s hand and say “I’ll have her home by 10, sir.” 😭😂🐶

We made an independent movie… and somehow ended up on the news. 😂🎬

Still pretty surreal seeing Murder Gardens featured on WPLG Local 10.

This movie started as an idea I had and became something that reached audiences far beyond the city where we made it.

Moments like this never get old. 🎥🔥 watch @murdergardensthemovie 1 and 2 now streaming everywhwre!

“Help me push my movie? Help me do nothing.” Every filmmaker with a distribution deal knows this one.

Mark Samuels, VURT co-founder, on the Urban Film Festival stage: other platforms sent him a check, some figures and a report. VURT is built the other way. It is free and runs on ads, so if nobody watches the project, VURT doesn’t win, and neither does the filmmaker.

Filmmakers: what did your last platform do for your film after you signed?

Hook them in 3 seconds. End every episode on a cliffhanger. That is the whole vertical playbook.

Mark Samuels, VURT co-founder, on the Urban Film Festival stage on why the pacing of your script and your edit changes when the screen is a phone.

Did this one hook you in 3? Tag the writer who opens every script with a slow morning.

One landscape shot. Two vertical shots. Same take.

Mark Samuels, VURT co-founder, on the Urban Film Festival stage showing what a 16:9 scene turns into when you cut it for 9:16. You’re on him for one line, on Andrew for the next, and nobody shot a second angle.

Send this to the editor who still thinks vertical means crop and pray.
