I just released 'elsewheres', a trio of short films that I wrote, directed, shot, edited, and produced.
It's free-to-watch (with a voluntary donation model) on my site, but was made for the Big Screen, so I'm also planning a DIY pop-up cinema tour across Europe in the months ahead.

a trio of short motion pictures that i've written, directed, produced, shot and edited, and will launch on my website late next month, followed by a european tour of free screenings with my pop-up, makeshift cinema. an experiment to see if i can become fully-funded by tips/donations from the audience.

Found this article in the excellent Numlock News newsletter, which had the following précis:
Duckweed is an aquatic plant that's seen as a promising source of protein for humans and animals alike. Duckweed grows in freshwater, and under optimal conditions is 45 percent protein, with a hectare of duckweed producing 10 to 18 tonnes of protein per year. By comparison, the same area of soybeans would produce 0.6 to 1.2 tonnes of protein. Duckweed grows fast — the quantity can double in less than 48 hours — and now the challenge is finding out ways to extract rubisco, the main enzyme present in the leaves and the single most abundant protein on Earth.

YouTube made up 9.7% of all viewership on connected and traditional TVs in the U.S. in May — the largest share of TV for a streaming platform ever reported by Nielsen’s monthly “The Gauge” report. Netflix ranked second, claiming 7.6% of viewership. Among streamers only, YouTube’s total viewership was close to 25% market share.
“We’re not talking about your mobile phone, your laptop, that I’m sure you see your kids using all the time, but on the biggest screen in the house, the TV,” said LightShed media analyst Rich Greenfield. “Every [media] executive has to be paying attention.”

After letting 18 months pass between a near-final edit of a 2 minute video and actually posting it, I got fed up of my own procrastination/perfectionism/pissing-about and started posting one new video a day to YT Shorts on 11 August 2023 to get back into moviemaking.
It’s been transformational for me, having this work-in-public video sketchbook. Slowly moved from just uploading iPhone videos shot from the hip to mostly using DLog footage shot on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 colour corrected/graded with sound design in Final Cut Pro, and I’m looking to add a Sony FX-30 to the mix this summer.
As a whole I call it my “Dailies” project - the term of a course an old Hollywood practice of developing each shooting day’s footage so the studios could make sure the director is doing a good job.
It’s also pushed me into a daily writing practice and hoping to do more sophisticated work this year, so would love to have some more eyeballs for this and all that. :)

“ancient paleolithic venus statues were likely made by women who were examining their own bodies and sculpting them from their own first person POV, rather than, as previously assumed, exaggerated features from an outside perspective.”

Really shocking to see so many comments here arguing we have a right to see/read/hear private, unpublished work that a deceased artist left clear instructions to destroy in the event of their death. Do we get to look at your personal journals, browser history and hidden photo gallery once you kick the bucket? Or is it only artists who must relinquish their privacy and last wishes to satisfy the morbid curiosity of the general public?
