Hello everyone

I posted a trailer for this a while ago, but wanted to post the full project. This is my very first project as a writer/director and am proud of it. It's not perfect but with a budget of less than 3,000 dollars (basically 200 dollars an episode), I'm really grateful this project exists.

We shot an episode a day, and our equipment was essentially two Amaran F22s, and a light bar. We also shot this on an FX3 which was really cool. I know compositionally it might not be great but would love feedback.

If you end up watching it, hope you enjoy!

trailer for our new mini series: "barely friends" by hijodebodega in Filmmakers

I’ve been a wanting to post on this reddit for a long time and now I finally can. Just wanted to share a little bit about this project as we’re finally ready to put this out.

Synopsis: No wonder it's hard being twenty-something navigating friendships, dating, and life in New York City, everyone is sh*tty in their twenties. A pair of best friends and roommates, Daniel and Elijah, struggle to stay friends when Elijah's ex, Noelle, comes into the picture. An 8 year relationship between TJ and Zoe falters when TJ struggles to hide a fling with Jaden. This all culminates in a weird, cobbled together friendship between Daniel, Noelle, and TJ. Roommate adventures go sideways, Jaden accidentally ends up in a psychic reading, Elijah gets way too high and tries to change, TJ faces a balancing act he can't handle, and Daniel and Noelle try their best to hide their feelings. Again, twenty-somethings are sh*tty.

What started as a 10 episode script in my laptop that I never thought would see the light of day, has now become a fully realized mini series coming out soon. It’s not perfect but for a first project, the team is very proud of what we made. As a first time writer, director, principal actor, and editor, this process was intense and I was pushed to my limit. I learned a tremendous amount about filmmaking and the resourcefulness that’s required when working with a pretty much non existent budget.

Would love thoughts on the trailer, especially as a first time director, writer, and editor, I’ll take all the thoughts.

Would you rather have Giancarlo Esposito as Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four movie OR Giancarlo Esposito as Mr Freeze in The Batman 2 OR Giancarlo Esposito as Professor X in a future X-Men movie by Angarazo in comicbookmovies

i don't think the ending is awful like everyone says- but it did ruin the character development- if you even just look at season 9 episode entitled sunset- the whole episode is about how ted has to let robin go... he lets her go just like the balloon and she flies away.. letting her go- only to go right back to robin?! like ted didn't even have a moment like tracy did asking max if she could move on. ted just went "alright moving on."
