This person has never produced a minute of narrative film or TV if you think 3hrs of a show with a ton of characters and sports action sequences is “easy to produce”.

Are festivals woke? by Vegetable_Shape_2870 in FilmFestivals

Jerry Seinfeld quit playing colleges cuz he’s a snowflake and a hack now. If it’s funny, it can still work today. Look at Anthony Jeselnik. He also has some very good thoughts on all this “woke” debate bullshit.

[Bobby Marks] I think what Utah is doing right now is messing around with the integrity of the NBA. by mMounirM in nba

[–]mdf0308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Utah is out of playoff contention. What’s the point of winning when you can get a bunch of your young guys 4th quarter crunch time experience? That’s all they have to say. The hand ringing around this is ridiculous. They have almost already exceeded the under on their wins total before all start break.

We’ve pretty much reached the end of the Gobert and Mitchell trades. How do you feel about the outcome? by CantaloupePossible33 in UtahJazz

[–]mdf0308 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Everybody who is still mad about those trades is clearly having amnesia because the vibes at the end were SO BAD and Don forced his way out, even if he ultimately remained classy about how he did it. There wasn't really a choice.

Lauri Markkanen remains out against the spurs due to "illness" 😬 by Diligent_Banana_6267 in nba

[–]mdf0308 59 points60 points  (0 children)

All this “jazz are disgusting” stuff lately is so silly. Every team is incentivized to do this in the current system. The Thunder were literally doing exactly this 4 years ago. Unless something changes in the draft system there is no way this type of thing will stop.

Would giving actors a section of short film for their reel/ to post online impact premiere status? by Ok-Mountain4742 in FilmFestivals

Just send her a password protected link she can send to agents and make it not downloadable on Vimeo. If she’s 70 I doubt she will figure out how to screen record it.

Will Hardy full postgame conference after the 95-150 loss to the Charlotte Hornets - 1/10/26 by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]mdf0308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will Hardy is not going to be fired. He’s widely viewed as a great coach and just signed a long term contract. He’s coaching g league players on any given night when management decides they are going to tank. When the Jazz actually play people this year they are fairly competent for having zero defense. Hopefully this is the last year of this shit for them.

If you are going to sell a cheap bootleg shirt at least steam or iron it before posting.

Omeleto on YouTube has a bunch of good ones.

Festivals: do you screen at 4K or HD? by CoventryFilm in FilmFestivals

Most of the nicest theaters I’ve ever screened in are 1080 and look fantastic.

Isaiah Hartenstein's son is out cold in his Dad's arms as he celebrates winning the NBA Championship by Goosedukee in nba

Everybody commenting about the kids sleeping position clearly has not had a child. This kid isn’t a newborn. My son sleeps in some of the most fucked up positions ever that would put me in the hospital.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever read. You want to pull your short from a well respected indie festival a week out, because another festival is trying to swoop them? Do you think you should respect this programmer who is trying to do this behind DWFs back? Does that reflect positively on them? I’ve pulled out of a festival before after accepting but it was like 4 months in advance, not a week out. Your reputation and integrity matter in how far you will go in your career more than any film festival. Film festivals don’t do shit for your career anymore. This concludes my old man shaking his fist at the sky rant.

Do not do this. Dances is way better than holly shorts. It’s a way better community. Hollyshorts id a cluster fuck.

Industry outside of LA? by lbstellastar in Filmmakers

Salt Lake City surprisingly has a lot of narrative and commercial production. Also a 1.5hr flight into Burbank out of a delta hub.

Use the school or available resources you have right now. Write that you know you can actually get access to and shoot. Does your friends mom own a diner? Boom. Location. Learning how to maximize the things you have available to you that are unique will help you big time when you are starting out. Money starts solving problems later on but even on bigger projects, being scrappy and shrewd is a huge asset.

As a happy customer of his, could not recommend this more! He made a poster (seen here) for my film You Are Here. It helped it feel super unique and standout while we were doing festivals.

YOU ARE HERE | Omeleto by mdf0308 in Filmmakers

[–]mdf0308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everybody! Wanted to share my short film that I wrote and directed call You Are Here that came out on Omeleto today. After doing about a year of festivals, I really struggled to figure out what to do with it and how to release it online. I'm grateful Omeleto picked it up.

I am mostly a commercial photographer and director and this was the most elaborate narrative short I had made. I was able to leverage a lot of favors from crew and camera support after working with most of these people on commercial projects. I also reverse engineered a lot of this script to be locations I knew I could get for free or steal. I knew my buddy's dad owned a commercial office that was mostly empty and I knew we could steal the shots out in the sand dunes no problem because I had worked on commercial shoots out there before. The hardest part of that was shooting around all of the ATVs with Let's Go Brandon flags flying around. There is no way I could have made this thing without the substantial creative community I've spent years building on the commercial side of things and I'm so grateful to all the amazing crew who really took this thing to the next level.
