fellas, I’m passing this along to y’all:

We’re giving away Childish Things t-shirts to three people who leave reviews online in the next week.

(Shirts look like this:

and you can see them more clearly at https://shop.cassidy.pictures)

Here’s how you enter:

1. Write a review for Childish Things

2. Publish that review on Letterboxd or IMDb

3. Send me a screenshot of your new review

Two winners will be selected at random, and my brother and I will pick our favorite new review for a third winner. We’re taking entries through January 8th.

And if you still haven’t seen the movie, you can stream it right now at https://watch.cassidy.pictures

Thanks team!

As you may know, I’ve been working on a movie called Childish Things since May of last year.

tldr: My movie Childish Things is now streaming at https://watch.cassidy.pictures

Childish Things has been independent from the start. My brother and I made it with our friends and whatever resources we had on hand, and when the time came to share the movie on the big screen, we worked with indie theaters to host community events and spread the word through local news and word of mouth.

We’ve been mulling over how to put Childish Things online. After going the typical route of signing with a distributor for our last film, Fallen Drive, we never saw a dime. We could’ve offered streaming through a platform like Filmhub or Amazon, but then some middleman would be taking a fat cut. It seemed like there was no favorable way for indie filmmakers to offer streaming to their audiences.

Then I asked for help here on wasteof. @radi8 (legend) reached out, and over the past couple weeks, he’s helped us develop our own streaming platform: watch.cassidy.pictures (rebrand TBD).

By continuing to be independent of big companies, we can retain the rights and control of Childish Things and (in theory) see some return on the blood, sweat, and mileage we’ve poured into this project. When you rent or buy Childish Things at watch.cassidy.pictures, you’re directly supporting the people who made it.

Thank you if you read all of that, and I hope you enjoy the movie!

Fairhazel, who did the soundtrack for Childish Things, dropped a new album today!

Or search for “Brief Encounters” wherever you get your music!

Team,

I’m finding our TVOD solution for Childish Things. After shopping around, nothing stands out to me as a great choice.

Before I settle for one of these existing platforms, let me ask you computer people out there: how hard would it be to host the movie on my own website and gate it behind a paywall with both purchase and rental options?

Your expertise is appreciated.

Any y’all around Santa Cruz, CA?

guys I got served a cease and desist at the last Childish Things screening
