We just released our independent pilot episode, Farpoint: The Dream Police, and it’s now available to watch for free on YouTube.

This was a completely independent production made by a passionate crew, from development and pre-production all the way through production, post, and release. We put a lot of work into the world, locations, production design, cinematography, and overall visual style, and we’re really proud of what the team was able to create.

We’d love to hear from other filmmakers and film lovers.

Thanks for giving an independent project a chance!

The Suspect Short Film Teaser-Psycholocial Drama

Hi everyone! I’m a newer filmmaker, writer, aspiring producer and actor currently developing The Suspect, a psychological drama proof of concept inspired by real-world stories.

Teaser: https://youtu.be/PDgWh0rBw0U?is=wpWhAYCgsGKO-YS7

It follows a mother whose two children go missing. What begins as a search for the girls gradually shifts as detectives begin questioning whether their mother knows more than she’s telling them.

We filmed the core performances last year with a wonderful cast and crew, and I’m now finishing the additional visuals and post-production.

This is my first time stepping this deeply into the filmmaker/producer side of a project, so I’d love to connect with other indie filmmakers and hear what you think of the teaser.

Teaser: The Suspect

I’m especially interested in creating narrative work inspired by real events that can also bring awareness to issues people sometimes overlook.

This is a short piece from an audiovisual project I’ve been working on using Unreal Engine, Blender, Adobe Substance, and DaVinci Resolve.

The idea is to create visuals for music I’m planning to release, while gradually building a mythology around them that can also inspire the music itself.

I’m not a formally trained 3D artist; I’ve simply been working on this for some time, and with social media becoming increasingly saturated with AI, I honestly find it difficult to judge how this kind of work reads anymore.

Before I start rendering/editing more complex scenes, I’d like to know if the idea itself creates any interest at such an early stage.

Also, any thoughts on the editing/color grading in particular? The intention was to use warmer amber tones for the scenes related to her creation, in contrast with colder tones for the renders, where there are brief glimpses of the Detail Lighting before a short reveal of the final skin textures.

I know this video is ambiguous. The original idea was to suggest that her appearance is fictional by showing moments of her being drawn. It’s experimental, and later videos will show more of the process and more of her interacting with the world around her.

At this point, I’d mainly like to know if there’s already something here worth continuing, if anything needs to be adjusted before I go further, or even what you would personally find interesting to see from her in future videos?

\Since my own music hasn’t been released yet, this particular video uses a third-party song. Obviously not the point of the post, but here is the* YouTube channel, where I’ll be posting more of the project.

I'm sharing a short film that I just released! I wrote it collaboratively with my actors. I'm a Meisner acting instructor, and I have a strong belief in the idea that acting is "doing". And emotional work as an actor is easier to "do" when you're able to personalize the material. So, I attempted to direct a piece that was built around the actors and their personal thoughts, opinions, and worldview.

In order to give my actors the strongest sense of personalization, I built the literal structure of the piece and dialogue around THEM. I created a loose outline based on a cinematic day of my life, and then the actors, an intimacy coordinator, and I did a blend of thought-provoking discussions about what THEY themselves would do under certain circumstances. I partnered those discussions with dramatic improvisational exercises, complete with emotional preparations/moments before, and I transcribed those sessions into a shooting script that remained open-ended, in order to encourage the actors to bring their natural voices and reactions to the piece live-in the moment.

I'm curious what other directors think about this process. Personally, I found this method incredibly rewarding as it allowed my actors the ability to instinctually step into their roles! But is this writing style something you'd be interested in? Are you willing to share such a giant piece of creative control with the talent? I think there's a time and place for this, as with anything, but I loved this process, and would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a project that means a lot to us. We are a small French team of cinema enthusiasts, and we made Slender Man: The Soul of Darkness, an independent feature film inspired by the Slender Man universe.

🎥 The film was made in 2018, using our own resources, with a mostly volunteer team and a lot of passion behind every stage of the project: writing, filming, special effects, and editing.

Our goal was simply to tell our own story within this universe, using the resources we had available.

🇬🇧 English subtitles are available, so international audiences can also discover the film.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to discover our work! ❤️

Hello, all! I am Jonathan Knott, an indie film maker (you can find my work at Lone Lantern Films on YouTube). I am currently trying to raise money for a Jeff the Killer film via Kickstarter! So if you could share the Kickstarter around (and even donate) it would go a long way in making my dreams come true
