Just look at these three characters. 👀🎬
One of those shots from the final scene of Cheap Appeal that I really loved—so I asked our director, Matt Nordstrom @nordstrom8ter to grab a photo.
Sometimes a single frame says it all. 🎥✨

Another BTS moment from Cheap Appeal.

One of the things I love most about filmmaking is everything that happens between "action" and "cut"—the teamwork, problem-solving, and creative energy that bring a story to life.

Grateful for every set, every scene, and every opportunity to grow.

Surprise! Distant Cousins made its public debut at the Los Angeles International Underground Film Festival! This was a truly surreal moment for myself.

Leave it to the writer to set up the world’s biggest plot twist: all our closest friends and family have been preparing for this proposal for weeks. I’ve never felt more loved and happy and grateful than I do right now.

To Jamie, mom, Charlotte, Jim, and Thomas: thank you all for secretly planning the engagement party of my dreams.

To all my friends who Jamie conspired with: please start sharing your locations with me again.

A struggling musician is plagued by feelings of insecurity when he discovers he was never a target of his music teacher's predatory behaviour.

Welcome to the FF Slate to the 15-min drama / comedy F MINOR from director Josh Litman. FF’s Katie Bignell says: “While the subject matter is divisive, I think the comedic elements are well paired with the poignant moments.”
