I apologize for the cryptic pictures. It is taking everything in me not to show stills or more revealing BTS photos, but I want to wait until we are properly ready to show things. 

Honestly, this is selfishly a journal post. 

Today marks the final shooting day for the Texas portion of our feature film. I move back to LA in a few days which is where I’ll finish the final day or two of shooting. 

It took me a little over a year to save up 30K working at Nordstrom which was to serve as the budget for the movie. 

I started the first draft of the script 9/16/2024. I drove back to Texas in September of 25’ to finish Parousia, and we immediately went into production on this in October. 

Our first day of filming was November 12th. 

This has been the most stressful 10 months of my entire life lol. Im actually not even sure what to put in this caption as I feel like no words can truly encompass how difficult and draining this entire process was. 

This would not have been possible without each and every person that worked on this, and everyone, all 100+ honestly deserves their own individual post. 

That being said I have to highlight my main crew. 90% of this movie was filmed by 5 people. 

Drexel (@kidzbop_drexel )
Ob (@obrdrgz )
Raven (@raven_mcclellan )
Josh (@joshua_barreto )

We filmed this periodically over 9 months in 1-2 day increments each week (bigger sequences took up to 5 days in a row or so) with the exception of Holidays.

I am forever grateful to these friends that I’ve had the privilege of knowing since elementary school. Drex and I have always dreamed of making a movie, and although stressful and always pressed for time and money I wouldn’t have wanted to make this any other way with any other people. Thank you to The Silver Man crew and all that you gave to this project.  Thank you for sticking with me. 

I also need to thank my amazing set designer and girlfriend Bridget (@bridget_burkhalter ). This could not have been done without you and your talents and grace. Thank you for keeping me above water. 

I am out of words. Thank you to my cast, thank you for your time and dedication. It wont let me name everyone so I will in a prettier post later.
