i’m curious, how did you get involved with filmmaking/music/everything? i think i stalked your new movie’s IMDb to your brother(?), and he’s in a bunch of like real serious work?
I don’t remember it too well, but something like when I was six, I learned that anyone could post videos on youtube.com, and I had to take advantage of that.
Later when I was ten, my fifth-grade class was developing an identity, and I was put with the group making our class song. It was a cover of “Stereo Hearts” and I wrote mad bars.
I kept writing raps afterwards, and soon I combined my video making with my songs to make music videos. As I wanted to make them better, I practiced and learned more, and took on more ambitious projects.
My brother, Nick, always encouraged my creativity. I didn’t see him much growing up, as he was pursuing acting in LA while I was in Maine, but he was in my first YouTube video (on a different channel, happy hunting), and he gifted me my “rap book” for Christmas 2012.
Skipping over some XP grinding, I moved to Los Angeles after high school. This was August 2020, at the height of the pandemic, which was a wonderful time to be in LA. My brother and his cousin/my roommate wrote and directed their first feature called Fallen Drive (fallendrive.com). I executive-produced that project and learned a lot.
Childish Things came from Nick and I figuring we didn’t wanna take four years to see another feature project through to release. A shoe-string-budget improvised mockumentary was our solution. Then, we stuck to plan where it made sense, and acted on the fly when necessary.
Basically, I learned early on to experiment and see projects through.
that is seriously so cool! i guess i don’t really know anyone in that industry so to me it all seems so magical :) i wish you the best of luck with everything! i know you’ll be successful.
I’ve been in and out of a few schools.
I was living in a bus in Los Angeles (and not in school) for the past few months, but I’ll be in Maine taking a film class and a ballroom dance class at USM (as a non-degree-seeking student) for the next few.
where did you get the plans for the interior of your bus? did you make them yourself, or find them somewhere? Either way, I would like to go on a similar trip in like 5 years or so, and plans for outfitting a bus would be very helpful
Max, Yams, and I busted out some graph paper and figured out a comfortable way of breaking up the space available.
The plan changed a bit from there, respective primarily to whatever furniture we could find for cheap, but the main layout remained the same.
The walls and the main two beds, yes. We also have a sailboat bed above where I sleep that Matt occupies now.
Idk where you're going on your bus trip, but if you're going through North Carolina maybe we can meet up
the first leg of the planned trip has us riding the coast down to Florida, so we’ll be passing through NC sometime for sure.
we’ll probably be strapped for time, and I don’t know how close you are to the 95, but we might be able to make it work
I think you would like the album “Hope” by NF. Especially the songs Pandemonium, Turn My Back, and Suffice. The first song, Hope (named after the album), is also good
I'm sorry bro, you're literally clueless about all the controversy that's happened
By the way, in the YouTube description of Onset, the LinkedIn of Niko Kochalidze is misspelled as Linkden, in both the mention and the link, so the link leads to one of these weird pages that are not actually registered: https://linkden.com/in/niko-kochalidze-8158b6207
that must have been one deep rabbit hole .most people get here from scratch, so I was just wondering…
also, you might want to create a new account with your old username @supercash with a link to this one.
i thought someone had mentioned a wasteof server, but I don’t know where to join
