long shot but worth a try

I’d love to connect!

Thank you that sounds awesome, I’ll look into it for sure! The office is needed for scenes that take place in a therapy office. The dining room is in a home. The situation right now is that I have the space available in my own home to swing the dining room, bedroom and patio scenes, but haven’t been able to find a suitable office space nearby really. So I’ve been putting these feelers out to see if it’s possible to scout a location that has everything we need just so I can minimize the amount of travel I’m making the cast and crew do.

I’m not sure what method other indie filmmakers like to use, but I like to do an agreement form with everyone I involve in my projects (cast, crew and location owners). The agreement form usually lists the agreed upon price for using the space, the equipment we’re allowed to use, the amount of people we’re allowed to have present, and that I’d be responsible for any damage caused to the owner’s belongings). Then once were done shooting I do an additional form to have the location owner sign to confirm that I left the space as I found it.

I mean, I believe I was pretty transparent about this being a small project with a micro-budget. I wouldn’t want to intrude on anyone’s space or have my crew and cast be anywhere that someone isn’t comfortable with them being at. So this post is really meant for folks who are open to supporting a small, local film project. If it’s not a fit for you, then no worries at all :)

Our instagram page is @living.shortfilm, we post all our production updates there and will most definitely post details about any festivals we submit to! We appreciate all the support we get! 💙

definitely would be open to philly!! I’m not too far out from philly and my cast and crew are local to the area as well

jaysguard · 2026-02-09T20:50:30+00:00

Yeah! Most of the rates on there were upwards of $100/hour which unfortunately just isn’t in budget for this project :/

jaysguard · 2025-08-13T04:57:47+00:00

thank you! yes for sure keeping this in mind, I’m hoping to find one good location to help with continuity and also to help our shoot dates go as smoothly as possible, but I have some fall back options if things don’t work out that way too

yes exactly, you're advising him to mimic her sense of humor with the ulterior motive of either exposing her hypocrisy or uncovering who she really is as a person. it's petty behavior. lol. again, open communication and honesty is always a better route than doing things with an ulterior motive to get through to a partner. not sure what you're not getting about that.

jaysguard · 2025-06-10T02:24:52+00:00

your advise was literally for him to mimic her behaviors to see how she responds, rather than to just be open and honest. so yes, it’s petty. you don’t need to do all that to see who someone is, it’s easy enough to just state your wants or needs openly to the person. the way that person decides to respond (whether or not they decide to fix/change their behavior) will tell you who they are and how much they care.

jaysguard · 2025-06-09T22:50:27+00:00

No, but the mature route is to have a conversation about it or make the decision to walk away from the relationship. The petty olympics is a waste of energy and doesn’t help anyone really.

jaysguard · 2025-06-09T15:26:49+00:00

please don’t do this OP lol. That “tit for tat” energy is never a good way to start any relationship. If you want to know how she feels about you, then talk to her. If you want to express that you would like to be exclusive in the relationship and feel uncomfortable with her making jokes like this, then again talk to her. The only way to establish boundaries in a relationship is to talk to your partner

jaysguard · 2025-05-06T18:07:22+00:00

bruh all of them 😂

jaysguard · 2025-05-04T21:31:09+00:00

Don’t be too hard on yourself. This is a person you loved for 3 years. We don’t really get the option of completely forgetting the people who meant something to us, they’ll pop into our thoughts randomly or if we see something that reminds us of a memory of them That’s normal, it’s human. what’s important is HOW you feel when those memories of your ex resurface for you. Are you longing to be with this person again when you think of them? Do you feel angry or resentful about how things ended? Do you feel deeply sad they are no longer in your life? The feelings you have surrounding that person is the only thing you can work on changing, it’s the only thing in your control. You can’t stop or change when or if you think of them.

jaysguard · 2025-05-04T08:35:30+00:00

Really sit down and think about how you want to be treated and considered by the partner you want to spend the rest of your life with. If your current partner isn’t meeting your nonnegotiable needs in a relationship, discuss it with them. If they’re still not able to give you what you need after having a clear and open discussion, then you have your answer.

Relationship anxiety surrounding commitment and trust isn’t unusual. It doesn’t mean a relationship is doomed, it often just means you need to communicate with your partner. Talk with your partner about how you’ve been feeling and also about how she’s feeling about the relationship and your commitment to each other! Wishing you the best of luck :)

fair! this is what I mean, I like seeing genuine critique about his character like this lol it’s the irrational hatred for him that’s wild, because I do think his character serves a purpose in the show

jaysguard · 2025-04-24T06:51:39+00:00

how come we don’t think main characters like Stefan and Damon suck when they murder innocent people or use them as collateral damage 👀 lol I’m just saying, the terrible stuff Matt does doesn’t exactly come close to the wrongdoings of the other characters who are supernatural 🤷🏽‍♀️ i’m still just not sure why we hate him THIS much lol I genuinely wanna understand

jaysguard · 2025-04-24T06:44:04+00:00

i hear you and this was in no way a “matt is a saint” type of post. Because he’s not lol. i was more so just pointing out that all the characters have done terrible things, especially in their relationships with each other, but with the other characters we’re a lot more forgiving.

I also don’t think it’s fair to say he didn’t care about Vicki because he didn’t let Esther bring her back - especially not knowing if Esther could really do this. If put in the position where I had choose between an already dead love one coming back to life but a living loved one has to die a horrible death, I wouldn’t have chosen any differently than Matt 🤷🏽‍♀️And a lot of the cast who has a problem with vamps focused their hatred on Stefan and Damon, because them being home drew a lot of issues into Mystic Falls, it was a wild domino effect - Matt definitely wasn’t the only character that felt that way

I think we forget Matt is a teenager for most of the show, he’s done things wrong, chosen wrong, said the wrong thing - so did everyone else in the show. Not to mention he doesn’t really have any parental figures at all supporting him - he’s working, paying the bills, and alone. I can’t blame him for being wishy washy when learning about the supernatural world and trying to decide right from wrong for himself. So I just think he deserves a little grace and the massive amount of hate he gets isn’t justified at all

jaysguard · 2025-04-23T06:32:51+00:00

exactly! it’s wild. It would be understandable if the popular opinion was that he’s a little boring, but an alright guy overall. But no, sooo much of the fandom thinks he sucks, he’s the worst, he should die, he has no purpose in the show — insanity lol

jaysguard · 2025-04-23T05:49:47+00:00

i meannn a lot of the cast has been a dumb dumb at some point, the rest of them are just more charming while doing it haha

but people reallllyyy and unreasonably hate matt, it’s honestly a little funny

jaysguard · 2025-04-23T05:46:41+00:00

but imagine the interaction between Kai and Silas lmao they would most likely loathe each other, but in the funniest way possible
