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.

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
