You're more than welcome to help out on my films anytime you want!

(To be clear, my films would fit in the "small films" category, budget wise at least)

Launching a new film festival with an AI generated video? I think it's safe to say I will not be attending or promoting that train wreck in any way.

I like the way your kid thinks!

I can confirm, Black Phone 2 fuckin' rocks. Evolves naturally from what was set up in the first one in a way that feels true to the 80's setting while not repeating itself. This is how you make a sequel!

Your little cat foe is a lot more supportive than mine.

My cat mostly refuses to let me work in peace.

Or you could not contribute to the growing AI mess. Nobody needs that.

It's futile to resist the draw of Haunted House of Pancakes.

Would you accept something from a poorly illuminated lagoon?

Yes, and also where are all the R-rated films for these teens to want to see but they are told that they can't. That shit can plant some real seeds in a young mind. Make them yearn and scheme to see films and then it triggers an extra pleasure center when they finally get to watch it!

Happy birthday! Keep that momentum growing!

That's fair. Sucks for me, but totally fair. The festival game is a pricey endeavor. Fun as hell, but those travel costs add up fast. Awesome that you and your team at least got the theater experience though.

If you've got a short, or he'll even a feature, that you want to make, don't wait make that thing! It doesn't even have to be great (bonus points if it is of course). You'd be surprised by all the good things that can come from making something and getting it in front of people.

Alright, the universe has spoken. I’m gonna film my horror short next year. There, I said it. Now it has to happen, right?

Paul Newton @paulnewton.bsky.social · 7d

Now it's on my radar. It better happen!

At the core, my writing is intended to be a mirror to the world and speak to the truths that many of us don't have the words to convey on our own.

Fair enough, I'm willing to roll the dice on this one.

Are you taking it to the festivals? This film is just begging to be seen with an audience.

Paul Newton @paulnewton.bsky.social · 8d

Are you telling me that I could see your film and retain possession of BOTH of my kidneys? That sounds like the deal of the century!

Paul Newton @paulnewton.bsky.social · 8d

I would love to attend but how could I afford access to such an exclusive screening experience?

Haunted House of Pancakes
Similar to Carved, this knows what it wants to be as a low budget B horror movie and while there is definitely some short comings with it's budget, it does at least have some fun with what it can to make a decent watch if you can vibe with it
