A little BTS from Gilded Splinter! 🎬✨

Had the best time on set this weekend, surrounded by so many talented creative professionals doing what they do best.

@manplaysflute + @vinous_ridiculous have built the kind of environment where creative vision and artistic collaboration can really happen - while also setting the stage for a smooth, supportive set. The vibe is contagious!

And HUGE shoutout to @asymill8! Seeing her in action is something special. She’s so supportive of everyone on set, and I love watching how she + Sparky share what they know and create opportunities for people to learn in real time. That kind of generosity makes a difference. ❤️

🎞️ Filming all this fall, can’t wait to share more!
