I may have something for you to look at. Jon Shallit was in touch with you…

As we step into 2025, I’m thrilled to announce my personal mission: 5 short films in 2025.

My goal is to collaborate with visionary directors and producers who are as passionate as I am about telling bold, innovative stories. Whether it’s a gripping short film or a compelling documentary, I’m ready to bring my 15 years of cinematography experience to projects that push boundaries and inspire.

Let’s connect, collaborate, and create something unforgettable together. If you share the mindset of making impactful films in 2025, I’d love to hear from you.

I am a film producer looking for a Cinematographer who is willing to work on our 15-minute short film. This film will be submitted into film festivals including Cannes Film Festival on completion. The film is a moody drama with a spooky twist. It's based on 2 drug dealers 1 of them is also a DJ. A female club goer overdoses on his supply, she comes back to haunt and control them into taking their own supply of drugs where they end up dead. The film will be shot in a way the audience does not know the girl is dead until the last scene.  There is no pay but I will cover your expenses.  We are a new independent film making group we are not students.  We have some good actors in main acting positions. They include the lead female who has short film and theatre background. The 2 male drug dealers are played by an actor who has recently been in Casualty and Emerdale etc. The other lead male role is being played by an actor who was in Peaky Blinders, Splintered, and Coronation Street etc. We have some experienced crew which includes members one currently works daily creating TV commercials. We have a scientist who specialises in 3D model animation; we also have a special effects supervisor who has worked in Hollywood for over 20 years. In addition, many more enthusiastic crew members that have made many short films. If you want to know more please get in touch, we hope to start shooting in the next few weeks, we anticipate it will take about 5 days to shoot mostly shot on weekends?

What time of day do you have your best ideas?

I hope one day we can work together on set.
