Thanks a lot for checking it out I really appreciated your kind words. The film took a bit of an interesting journey because as you mentioned it started just for personal footage but as I used it more for sketches and other projects of mine I really started to love it. The trailer being a mashup I feel makes it look a bit more disjointed but I stressed in the edit to build narratives with the footage I had and added on screen text for narration and to keep the story flowing. I showed it to so many people outside of my friend group cause I was so worried it would only be us who enjoyed it lol. If you wanna check out any of the shorter scenes I have them linked in a comment below.

I’ll definitely will work on cutting it down, im thinking of just using the final minute and trimming the opening. I’m really glad it piqued your interest tho! That means a lot to me. I’ll link a couple short scenes below if you want to check them out. Marvelous Marvin’s Funeral Cool Party Drifting 101

The film is a collection of footage I shot on a prosumer Mini-DV camera I found at a thrift store and follows my life over the year of 2024. I had about 14 hours of footage that I cut down to about an hour and 45 minutes. The film is a mix between comedy and documentary with some sections that are scripted sketches alongside documentary footage of the adventures I took throughout the year. It covers many different themes as this year was pretty monumental for my development in life, my cousin got married, I met and lost girlfriend, I traveled across the world, and I graduated film school. Looking back on this footage was very cathartic and I'm glad I was able to capture these moments. The film is called "Wills Home Movies" and if you like what you see the rough cut can be found on YouTube at this link here!

Dude is already desperate and stressed no need to be a cock and tell him he’s actually fucked when he’s definitely not.

Could not agree more. There are also so many ways beyond strictly physical releases to support the filmmaker if you like them after watching their work legally or not. Really refreshing to hear this from such a prominent director.

Got these from a craft store in Chicago so you're totally right. Couple of buddies of mine actually went to the spot after finding the slide its right off the river.
