FILMMAKER Q&A: The story of America's first mountain endurance/adventure foot race, which took place in Bellingham, Washington. First run in 1911, the grueling 28 to 32 mile race to the glacial summit of Mount Baker and back lasted only three years due to its dangers. Told in a docudrama style, the....

We don't create content.

The term may be popular in an age of blurring lines between platforms, but the Hollywood strikes have shown how the phrase can devalue creative work.

This is a wonderful insight into how to plan a complex scene...if you had lots of money to do it that is...

An opening to a movie is one of the most important 10 minutes, and John Krasinski made a damn good opening scene that we won't forget.

When you have the opportunity to work with a creative, talented, hard-working crew who bring their "A" game to the set, then add a handful of on-screen talent who understand the weight of the issues they are portraying and make every second of screen time count, well shoot days don't get much better. Here's a big THANK YOU from Jet City Films to the cast and crew, the producers, and WSU for bringing this one to life. (Obligatory director pointing screengrab courtesy of the amazing Avielle Heath who kept the train on the rails, running on time, and on budget with a smile on her face while putting up with me.)

As the internet becomes the defacto delivery method for film viewing, the providers look more and more like the big studios. Instead of leveling the playing field for indy filmmakers...the gatekeepers, though supposedly clamoring for new content, keep moving the targets.

As Hollywood is embroiled in real-life abuse scandals, it's essential to look at the art women are producing, especially when it lays out their personal fears alongside greater cultural anxieties.
