New video! I go over the Emart T-Bar backdrop stand that I got to use for diffusion holding purposes! A great tool for filmmakers & photographers that need an easy, portable stand, with a drawback of compatibility.

RE: https://mas.to/@Trenton_Hoshiko/115849579661031668

At the start of the New Year I reflected a bit on "advancing" as an indie/low budget/micro budget filmmaker and how what we often see as "advice" hinders rather than helps. We all need to be making expressive art collaboratively, not competitively!

1st filmmaking video of 2026!
What it means to advance as a filmmaker and grow your skill set in 2026! I've seen some other takes on this idea and decided to add my own.

I built Garvescope because indie filmmakers are tired of guessing how to fund and distribute their films. We need data, not just luck. Who’s with me?

Filmmaking isn’t about talent. It’s about persistence. Plenty of talented filmmakers quit. The persistent ones keep making movies.

Fun fact: The average Hollywood film marketing budget is 2X the production budget. That means if a movie costs $100M to make, studios spend $200M to sell it. Could you do more with less?

Major studios make most of their money from merchandising, not ticket sales. That’s why Disney keeps making Star Wars.

Also me: Spends $7K on a new camera.

Most indie filmmakers I meet are insanely talented—but they fail because they don’t know how to sell their film. Distribution is a business, not an art. Who’s learning how to market their movie?

If your indie film takes 5+ years to finish, it’s not a passion project. It’s a procrastination project.
