I know it's not wise to send people off site but I do have a publication tied to Writers Artist Group! Called Navigating the Narrative! Hope to people enjoy my content everywhere they can. My review of Hoppers "Oh, my heart! This is why I fell in love with animation. 'Hoppers' is a visual feast and a soaring, heartfelt ode to the dreamers and the inventors. It's a film that reminds you of the wonder hiding just beneath your feet, a truly beautiful and masterful work from a studio at the top of its game. Go see it, and feel like a kid again." 🎥 Cinematography A The use of digital macro lenses creates a breathtaking sense of scale, making a simple lawn feel like an alien jungle. The dynamic 'hopper-cam' shots during flight sequences are absolutely exhilarating. ✨ Animation A+ Pixar has outdone themselves, achieving a perfect blend of photorealistic insectile detail with deeply expressive character animation. The subsurface scattering on the exoskeletons and the delicate physics of the wings are just pure, unadulterated magic. 📖 Story B+ While the 'follow your dreams against the odds' narrative is a well-worn path for the studio, it is executed with so much sincerity and emotional punch that you cannot help but get swept away. ✍️ Writing A- The dialogue is sharp, witty, and packed with clever bug-related puns that land beautifully. A few emotional beats feel a tad predictable, but the core relationships are written with genuine warmth. 🎨 Art A+ The art direction is a triumph of imagination, transforming discarded bottle caps and lost buttons into the architecture of a thriving society. The lighting, especially the golden hour sun filtering through blades of grass, is simply sublime. FONZ'S FILM FRIDAYS | FINAL GRADE: A

It's Monday morning. Most of the industry is just logging on, perfectly comfortable managing the static for another five days. But that's not why we are here. You don't get called an overachiever just because you put in the hours, anyone can grind through a queue. What separates you this week is the architecture of your action. We aren't just putting out fires anymore. We are actively hunting down the bottlenecks and engineering the logic that makes the old way completely obsolete. Years of inaction in this space are ending because of the raw drive you bring to the table on days exactly like today. Keep striving, push the limits, and remember that every wall you tear down this week is the foundation we build on next week. Let's get to work!!

I want to commit to writing more. So every Sunday something fun and spiritual

It is March, the “honeymoon phase” of the year is over. Now is when the real progress happens. - This Week’s Goal: Take one character from your current IP and write a “World Interaction” scene. How do they act at a grocery store? How do they act in a crisis?

For the rest of this year I will be dedicating my Sundays to working on my Short film from now till it's completion. I'll be documenting the whole thing here. Wish me luck.
