Short Film: Here Comes The Neighborhood
This is a short comedy directed by Michael Charron. I was the Cinematographer as well as Lead Editor on this film.
The film has had a really fantastic festival run, including winning several awards. We recently released the film online at filmshortage.com, you can read more about the film here:

We shot the film for no money, everyone put in their time for free, Eric (the white dude in the screenshot) kindly lent his car for the shoot. I was arguably running too many roles on the film, as well as running camera, I was also doing all the lighting and grip work including this car mount.
We were shooting late into the night, past 3:00am and Due to some scheduling conflicts we had to take the car mount off after having it set, and put it back on for another car shot. It turns out I forgot to tie up one for the straps next to the front wheel properly. After driving around for a moment the strap got wound up in the wheel and yanked the whole mount into the hood of the car. Luckily the camera was fine, but the hood was damaged and had to be repaired. Honestly, after working in the film industry for 10 years I'm surprised more people don't die on set, it can be quite dangerous, especially low budget films where people are over extending themselves. I came away from this realizing it's important to ask for help and to have others double check your work, and if you have to, refuse to work in bad conditions! That being said I'm proud with how it turned out, i think it's a funny film with a hard topic, looking forward to working with this crew again in the future.

Hi @solrasol, nice to see a director in steemit, great job man, I am a musician and vocalist, I was thinking that we may can collaborate, what is your idea? if you are in discord we can have a conversation :)
Hi David, thanks for the message. Do you plan on posting any of your work on steem, or do you have a website? I don't have any plans for any short films right at this moment, but I also do a lot of generative video work, so if you'd be interested i'd be willing to do a video jam with some of your music if it makes sense.
