Update 8/16/19 - Apocalypse Now series (Patreon)

Welcome new patrons! I’ve been busy busy busy. So, the Stalker video blew up, which I was not expecting at all. I sort of wish I had tried to get a sponsorship, but such is life, heh. A good friend of mine DID get approved to intern for CinemaTyler starting in September, so hopefully it’ll become a bit easier for me to generate content. I’m taking this opportunity to really go all-in on the Apocalypse Now series that I’m currently writing. It looks like it is going to be around twenty 10-15 min episodes! All the information I’ve collected is incredible— I really think you’ll like it.

By the way, I saw a screening of Apocalypse Now: Final Cut on IMAX yesterday and it just totally blew me away! 

Here is the structure as I have it so far (will probably change around a bit):

2. George Lucas’ Apocalypse Now
3. Getting Started
4. Opening
5. Mission Briefing

9. Ride of the Valkyries
10. Screenplay: Milius

And of course, there are several more videos on production stories (like the Stalker vid) in the works. Another Patreon vote is on the way once I get a little more help. 

I’ve also been working with h8urs.com to help produce exclusive content for the site. I’ve been interviewing filmmakers and film professors on their inspirations and thoughts on cinema to turn into video essays narrated entirely by them. One of the filmmakers I interviewed was David Lowery who wrote/directed A Ghost Story and The Old Man and the Gun! This video series will be launching shortly and I’ll post another update when they finally go live. 

Thanks so much for your continued support!
