Still Rolling

A letter about a filmmaker’s journey.


Still Rolling is a monthly letter about making films and videos, while still figuring it out. Because the beauty is in the process.


What you’ll find here?


  • Early news about my work in progress, told from inside it rather than after the movie was made. You will know all the stories behind the films.
  • Craft notes: light, lenses, location prep, editing, the small decisions that make a shot work.
  • Tools and experiments, including where AI is genuinely useful in production.
  • The business side, honestly: how the work comes in, what it pays, what I’d do differently.

Who it’s for?


Filmmakers, video people, and anyone curious about how films and videos actually get made. No fixed structure, but I plan to publish one letter once a month. When there’s something worth sending, I send it.
