"Through constant experimentation and creative freedom, indie films allow for the emergence of new methods and trends in #filmmaking. They offer an authentic reflection of the human condition, providing a mirror to society that reveals our shared struggles, joys, and complexities. Indie films matter because they push the boundaries of what cinema can be, creating stories that resonate on a deeply #human level. They are a testament to the power of #storytelling and a crucial part of the #cinematic landscape, offering a diversity of voices and perspectives that enrich our understanding of the world." 🎥 🎥 🎥 [sic] Aditya, Dandy C.

🚨READ ENTIRE POST🚨 Good morning LinkedIn family! I’m here to inform everyone about a passion project that my twin brother (Joshua Short) and I have been working on relentlessly! 📖 This is a passion project produced and created by Emmy Award winning brothers Joshua Short and myself. Raised by our single mother, this project brings a connection to not only the fatherless children in the world, but awareness to why men chose the route they did in the past. 🎞️ This documentary is about men who have become dads but lacked the responsibility to become fathers in their children's lives. As their children now age, have these dads recognized the reasons why they chose not to be involved? 🌎☮️ The film hopes to serve as a bridge to young men who are new to fatherhood and could potentially follow the footsteps of the uninvolved fathers. This film can also guide these young men into a life of love, fulfillment, and an impact that will last a life time. 🤝 Donations for this film will help with •Equipment •Travel •Production •Locations •Food for cast members •Editing •Grips •Design 🤲🏽 Everyone knows someone (if not you) who have been affected by the choices these men make. Yes, this is tough for the men to speak on their past mistakes. Yes, these men will feel terrible for their past choices. But the good will outweigh the bad when these choices that were once made helps change the decisions of future dads. Let’s flip the narrative and help the generation of dads to be.

What I want the audience to take away from this film is that life doesn’t always follow a moral compass. Like in the real world, you can never fully know what someone is thinking or what drives their actions. The story reflects that uncertainty—where motives are unclear and the truth isn’t easily defined.

The pandemic has had a dramatic impact on documentary professionals’ financial security. Nearly three-quarters of documentary professionals said COVID-19 harmed their financial stability somewhat or a great deal. Documentary professionals like Jake Gorst are primarily motivated to make a positive impact on social issues, and they value their independent creative voice, as well as their artistry and artistic expression. By far, documentary professionals see the greatest economic opportunities in commissioned work from film studios or TV networks (21% say this is a great opportunity), followed by foundation and nonprofit grant funding, and commissioned work from nonprofit organizations. But independent filmmakers also survive on the donations of other resources. You can help support the arts by viewing #Connecticut ’s own, Mainspring Narrative Films auction to raise operating capital. There is a bounty of art, photography, books, music and collectibles (many of them signed by the artists or authors). There are also some very unique “experiences” up for auction too. And I’d be remiss if I did not mention, there are some lovely ZEOLLI concrete bow ties and a concrete miniature of the Pirellii Building in New Haven from U.K. based Space Play. Won’t you check out the items here and help the arts survive? Bidding closes July 29th. https://lnkd.in/eTcCkhH2 For more information on Mainspring Narrative Films, visit: mainspringnarrative.org/ Visit Zeolli here: www.etsy.com/shop/ZEOLLI Visit Space Play here: space-play.co.uk/ #filmmakers #documentarians #newenglandmodernism #supportthearts
