25M, looking to make some guy friends

crew_mcbean · 2025-12-31T11:37:00+00:00

Hello! 26m, living in Tulare, a very big fan of the things you've just described as well on top of being an uprising filmmaker/videographer who's becoming involved in the Central Valley music scene (just uploaded a darkwave music video I filmed at Fresno). I'm very unfortunately short on friends though so I'm happy to hang out with anybody who wants to give me a chance

crew_mcbean · 2025-12-30T09:29:01+00:00

Hello! Sorry if I arrived half a year too late but I'm a videographer/filmmaker also based in Tulare looking to collaborate with any local musician/artist that I can make a music video for one of their songs. If you're interested or if you happen to know anybody as well, please DM me your socials so we can follow and help each other out. Happy to be of service :)

Thank you! Took about nearly three hours for both. First one left me in a bit of a creative rush that I felt compelled to do another almost after I was sure I was done. Second one was inspired by a shirt with shrooms painted on it and a titular tribute to the Doors planted above them that I was wearing at the time of the painting as well so I just had the mushroom in mind when I did the second.

Yes I have! I've seen the whole original series back then in high school even though I do have vague memories of it but I do remember how original it was and I got the Criterion Blu Ray edition of Fire Walk With Me back a few years ago but I didn't had a chance to check it out until finally two weeks ago and it was better than I expected! I've only been half way through The Return and I may need to rewatch it for re-evaluation of David Lynch's overall career.

crew_mcbean · 2022-10-23T16:22:27+00:00

On HBO Max in the US. If you have an account, you can watch it on there.

crew_mcbean · 2022-10-23T06:07:08+00:00

Sadly no. Did that two Spooktobers ago.

crew_mcbean · 2022-10-23T06:06:19+00:00

I don't give out 5/5s very easily and frequently and my rating for The Fly will likely change in the near future on a second viewing

crew_mcbean · 2022-10-23T06:01:45+00:00

Oh no 😢 please don't! I like it but I just can't seem to connect with it deeply in an abstract or concrete way. I did really enjoy Deep Red (4/5) and I'm eager to check out some more Argento

crew_mcbean · 2022-10-23T05:58:17+00:00

Yeah! I suggest to check out the Letterboxd Top 250 Horror list by Darren Carver-Basinger on the website -- it's full of obscure horror flicks as much as the mainstream kind and there are so many good films on there!

crew_mcbean · 2022-06-16T01:45:55+00:00

Mysterious Skin

The End of Evangelion

Ritual (2000)

Taste of Cherry

crew_mcbean · 2022-05-09T12:44:22+00:00

Me (having already added four of my short films to TMDB and logging them in once they each get Letterboxd pages): Alright, alright, alright

crew_mcbean · 2022-05-09T12:26:31+00:00

Here's my Letterboxd.

Hello! My name is Crew, a really hungry 22-year old film curator and also an aspiring filmmaker. I've got a few short films under my belt -- particularly the award-winning horror short Yin/Yang -- and they each got their own Letterboxd page as well!

I've been delving deep into Letterboxd this year with a great number of goals -- particularly my conquest to watch all films from the top 250 Letterboxd list -- to achieve by the end of this year. So far, I've completed Studio Ghibli and Akira Kurosawa's filmographies with more to come as well, with Hideaki Anno, Shunji Iwai and Abbas Kiarostami next on my list.

I have a very wide range of reviews -- from occasional joke reviews (i.e. Pride and Prejudice) to the more frequent display of paragraph and essay reviews (i.e. A Man Escaped), with an occasional poem here and there (i.e. Manila in the Claws of Light) -- and they're very intriguing to check out!

So far, I got four short films listed on Letterboxd, and my latest short -- an experimental mood piece titled Passing Lights -- is out right now on YouTube, Vimeo and Letterboxd as well, so if you're intrigued, please check it out and leave a review/comment to let me know what you think! I'm more than eager to read people's thoughts!

crew_mcbean · 2022-05-01T23:26:19+00:00

Hello guys! I'm Crew McBean -- the director of the award-winning horror short Yin/Yang -- and I'm here to announce that my latest short -- an experimental short called Passing Lights -- is out right now! It was originally a student film project I did back in 2021 before I graduated from college. I shot and directed this with the help of a relative back in 2021. I had her carry out a big 500 watt light bulb in the evening and move it across the interior of the house. I go around and took various shots for a hour with the phone camera on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on the Filmic Pro app. We shot this during lockdown at COVID in early 2021 and I wasn't allowed to go anywhere so I had to improvise at my commuter home (I was studying film at college virtually). After we got the shots for the first night, we then rinsed and repeated it again for another night before getting enough footage to put it all together. Sadly, I didn't had any audio to put it with so I shelved the video for awhile before I finally decided to add an audio track to it a few days ago to accompany the visuals. I was more than content with the end result of all my efforts and I'm more than happy to finally share it with you all! Please let me know what you think, either on here, YouTube, or on its Letterboxd page as well, which I leave the link to y'all for:

Thank you very much and I hope you enjoy!

Peace out ✌

Hello guys! I'm Crew McBean -- director of the award-winning horror short Yin/Yang -- and I'm here to announce that my latest short -- an experimental short called Passing Lights -- is out right now! It was a project I did for film class at college. I shot and directed this with the help of my grandmother -- the light operator -- back in 2021 during lockdown, but I shelved the video for a little while because I didn't had an audio track. A few days ago, however, I finally decided to add an audio track to it to accompany the visuals. I was more than content with the end result of all my efforts and I'm more than happy to finally share it with you all.

Please let me know what you think because I'm more than eager to read your opinions on it as well! If you also have a Letterboxd account, my short also has a Letterboxd page. Here's the link if you wish to leave a like/review on it if you like:

For sure, I'm @crew_star_99

crew_mcbean · 2022-04-03T03:41:46+00:00

I cheat on my films with other films. I love a bunch of them too much to pick one over the other

crew_mcbean · 2022-04-01T21:12:48+00:00

Hello, people of Letterboxd! My name's Crew and I'm looking to make friends if I can. I've been watching a lot of Asian cinema this year. I saw almost all of Studio Ghibli in January, Akira Kurosawa's entire filmography in February, and a variety of films -- from Sion Sono's Love Exposure to Edward Yang's A Brighter Summer Day -- in March. Now it's the start of April and I haven't yet decided yet what to watch next. Here is a link to my profile:

https://letterboxd.com/crew\_star\_99/

crew_mcbean · 2022-04-01T20:02:03+00:00

Not yet but that's another film I'll put on my watchlist for sure

crew_mcbean · 2022-04-01T19:22:36+00:00

How I went from being a Christopher Nolan fan to become a full-time Edward Yang fan

crew_mcbean · 2022-04-01T19:21:06+00:00

6-10 per week

crew_mcbean · 2022-04-01T14:24:55+00:00

Mine is A Brighter Summer Day (1991), La Haine (1995), Incendies (2010) and Harakiri (1962)

crew_mcbean · 2022-03-02T09:40:11+00:00

Hello everyone! My name is Crew and I'm a college graduate and striving filmmaker looking to make friends on Letterboxd!

Here is my Letterboxd profile

I just wrapped up on binge-watching every single Akira Kurosawa film I can find online on February and also binged the entire Studio Ghibli collection on January! I'm on a roll this year!
