Introducing myself

Hello everyone,

My name is Chad and I'm a Filmmaker. I own all of my equipment - enough to shoot a feature. I wrote my first short film in 2020 called 'The Post'; I also served as Director and Editor on the project. This short film came about after witnessing widespread political division demonstrated on the Internet during the early days of the pandemic. I was triggered and quarantined...so I wrote a short film.

During the past three years, I've been busy with filming six additional short films on which I also served as Producer, Cinematographer, and Editor - on one I'm also serving as Colorist. I read, I view, I learn, I purchase, I film.

'The Store (A Covid-19 Comedy)', I shot it anamorphic because I wanted to test out my new anamorphic lenses. With 'The Drug Deal (A Covid-19 Comedy), I completed my first night shoot. And on the supernatural drama 'Keepsake', in addition to EP, Producer, Cinematographer, and Editor, I am also the Colorist. REMINDER: I'm a Filmmaker and I will do what it takes to make films.

Working on the feature The Raid (A Covid-19 Comedy) which is 21 actors in one location. Looking for producers and cast. Let's talk.

Hi Chad Newsome ! Kudos to you for learning everything you can about film making. More and more, it looks like that kind of commitment pays off. Happy to have you here.

Hey, Chad Newsome. I watched "The Store." Loved it! I just talked with Tanya O'Quinn about it and "The Raid" yesterday. Excited for "The Raid."

Chad Newsome

Hey Ty, great to connect. Thanks a million, I got into filmmaking being an extra on a set with a friend back in NY. And now here I am living in LA with a RED camera in love with anamorphic lenses. It took plenty of falling down and getting back up, but I love telling stories!

Chad Newsome

Hey Robin, thanks for the warm welcome. I am the type that if I want to do something, I will find a way, extremely determined and yes it has paid off.

Chad Newsome

Maurice, what's up bro? Glad you liked The Store. I was telling Tanya how cool you are. The Raid is gonna be special man, I am so excited!

Suzanne Bronson

Nice to meet you Chad Newsome What an awesome story. I, too found being an extra (in LA) a heck of a learning experience. Coming from the theater, it was guerilla film school.
