Travelled out to get some headshots taken today, because my current headshots on my Spotlight is just some janky ass photos that my little brother took of me on my DSLR in the garden – I really needed to get some professional ones done. I had some had a fair amount of down time on… Continue reading Writing music video concepts, and sharing ideas too early

Why being unproductive is fine
Today was another shit day for me in terms of writing. And that’s fine. I was unproductive and inefficient in working, but I guess the important thing is that I showed up. It wasn’t writer’s block, it was just more me just being distracted – I have a million ideas I wanna work on at… Continue reading Why being unproductive is fine
Creative Journey Log: Day 7
Was hella distracted writing today, I wasn’t focused, and wasn’t getting a lot of deep work done. All my work felt very surface-level, and shallow. Lately, when I’ve tried to write in the morning I’ve been hella distracted and slow as fuck in starting, then I’ll compensate by eating into the time I set aside… Continue reading Creative Journey Log: Day 7
Creative Journey Log: Day 6
Today was an AMAZING writing day for me. It was just one of those days where I felt hella inspired, and got into a flow state super easily. I felt so good after brainstorming and writing up 2 new short film ideas. I literally only got the chance to write for so long today because… Continue reading Creative Journey Log: Day 6

I love watching films, but I feel like I have… Continue reading Creative Journal Log: Day 5
Creative Journey Log: Day 4

At the moment, the short is about food addiction: instant vs delayed gratification (presentable logline pending). I fleshed out more of the dialogue, the narrative beats of the film, and the… Continue reading Creative Journey Log: Day 4
Creative Journey Log: Day 3
We shot an entire short film with no script in just 2 hours today. We had a couple hours after recording ADR for another short film, and I’d been itching to just make something for the fun of it. We decided we might as well do something in the recording studio since we were all… Continue reading Creative Journey Log: Day 3
Creative Journey Log: Day 2
Brainstormed a bunch of ideas for a little short we’re tryna shoot tomorrow after doing some ADR for another short film. Had to squeeze in the time to write whilst walking in the freezing cold to BFI Southbank (it’s literally my second home lmao), voice typing is a godsend for writing fast when your fingers… Continue reading Creative Journey Log: Day 2
Creative Journey Log: Day 1
Recently read and got really inspired by Austin Kleon’s amazing book Show Your Work, and decided to start documenting my daily creative process on this blog, and also my Instagram. I hope that you can learn something from following along the journey – I’ll probably make some dumbass mistakes so you don’t have to hahaha.… Continue reading Creative Journey Log: Day 1
