I have been working primarily along two tracks in my short films. One embellishes the world as it appears- werewolves at the front desk of my library or a unicorn wading in my local creek, and the other kind takes place in clerkmanifestoland, often with human animal hybrids having a cup of tea, or cuddling a kitten in a dangerous alleyway. In some ways I am learning to make both kinds of these little films more efficiently. This means that I end up with quite a few more films than I can properly post here. These are usually up on YouTube and Instagram, though sometimes they don't even make it up over there. Making these videos is the heart of the fun. Sharing them tends to be more... administrative. There are a lot of steps.
Most recently I have been making a lot of the real world kinds of videos. My plan with some of these is to post QR codes in the spot where they were filmed so people could, theoretically, scan a QR code at a traffic light post and see the same exact view they're looking at, except maybe with a lion coming by for a visit. Whether anyone will scan a QR code found on a random street corner post is a question I don't have an answer to. But I suspect the answer is: not very often.
But I'm just here to plant the magic seeds.
If people want to climb the beanstalks, that's their business. Or yours, I guess, but if you're reading this, as far as I'm concerned, we're already visiting together in the clouds.
Here are some recent beanstalks. Click through for all the action. They have soundtracks.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
