🕰️WHERE WE STOPPED TIME🕰️

I had such an amazing time working on this set and helping to bring this story alive!

To @_cashmoneychunks I want to say thank you for trusting me to bring this character alive, the story you made was incredible truly

To my amazing co-star @lizfortier it was such a joy to work with you and share the screen together, you’re an incredible talent and you have an amazing future ahead of you.

And lastly to the crew on this project. You’re all so incredibly talented at what you do and I’m so thankful for all your hard work as this wouldn’t have been possible without you all, I feel lucky to have been able to work with such a talented group of individuals 🫶

While I’m here I found a quote that I thought fits perfectly for this film. “What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.” - Helen Keller

“The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.”
— G.K. Chesterton

I got inspired by a movie I watched and wanted to create a film with that same kind of tone and emotional weight. Where We Stopped Time came from that spark, and I’m grateful for everyone who supported me in bringing it to life.

First, the biggest thank you to Henry, Brianna, Johanna, and Siyarah my key crew who held it down from pre-production all the way through production. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Huge thank you to my amazing actors, Oliver and Elizabeth, for embodying these characters so naturally and bringing such talent, heart, and joy to set. Truly blessed to work with you both.

thank you to Canada’s Film Equipment for sponsoring us and believing in the project.

Thank you to my on-set crew sound, Grip, Gaff, and everyone who stepped in and helped out. Your work brought this film to life.

Thank you to Cody and David for holding it down in post-production.

Thank you to my parents for always believing in my dream.

And last but not least, thank you to God, for giving me the mind of a creator.

Where We Stopped Time — coming soon.

Some BTS photos from the last shoot

It always good to have every set documented so later I can look back at these memories and mistakes that I made so I can be better in the future.

This is a stressful project since our budget is very low and we have short window of time to prepare everything and also a short hours to shoot, that’s why I feel it’s mostly impossible

But then the crew comes through and helps me to get what we want, I’m forever grateful for it.

I’m truly believe that your crew can either make or break your set and I’m lucky to have amazing people around me that help pulling me through the hard times.

Truly appreciate my friends who come to help and everyone on the crew

I might be a bit late with this post, but it’s because I still can’t believe that I didn’t dream my way through September. It actually happened. There have already been a ton of posts from our crew, and every single one has reminded me just how lucky I am to have shared this experience with such an insanely talented, hardworking, and supportive team. None of this would have been possible without all of you.

Until next time 🫡 🪓🎬

IT’S A WRAP on AUTUMN HILL!!

My first feature as part of the camera team, PFFF what a crazy journey it was, I’m so proud and happy I had the opportunity to spent 15 days around all these amazingly talented, hard working, beautiful people (not everyone is in the Polaroids, sorry ran out of rolls hehe)
I am amazed by how every single one of us showed up every single day and gave their absolute best.

I wanna thank the camera and G&E team specially for being always there for me and for each other, for never giving up and showing me what a real team is and even more importantly, showing me what friendship is, I have so much appreciation and respect for all of you and I can’t wait to see every single one of u achieve your goals ✨

Thank you Danny for trusting me and allowing me to be part of your team; You are such an inspiration as a profffesional and as a human being; Laura thank you parcera for being the best 1st AC and making me feel like home, you’re such a rockstar and I know u will achieve anything u want in life.

Have so much to say and thank to everyone in the crew, but for now; thank you EVERYONE for the most exciting 15 days, till the next one 🤍
