I break down movies through a filmmaker’s lens - analyzing cinematography, storytelling, direction, and the creative choices that make films work (or fail).
This channel isn’t about surface-level reviews. It’s about how films are made, why certain choices are effective, and what filmmakers can learn from them.
Expect film breakdowns, scene analysis, and occasional filmmaking lessons inspired directly by movies.

New Day New Tripod
So tomorrow I’m recoding a short review video on the new tripod I’m working with for my regular production work.
I’ve really ever had two professional tripods, one purchased secondhand almost 20 years ago and 10 years ago. So writing this it appears I upgrade every 10 years haha.
So I’m in a position now to check out the @SmallRigGlobal @PotatoJet Tribe SE.
I have mostly good things to say and hopefully i can get the video out quickly.

Movie Talk Livestream Update:
Hey my lovely folks, I was due to go live for the first time tonight, instead the Movie Talk live-streamed show will debut in the next couple of weeks instead.
I wanted to fully realise the show and it’s not in my nature to produce something half-baked.
My next video will be out after this weekend, due to production commitments and one of my films being in competition at the Manchester Film Festival.
Have a fantastic day.

As part of my regular film work, I produce showreel scenes for actors and the newest one, ‘A Moment Too Late’ is coming out this coming week.
Keep an eye out if you’re interested in this sort of thing and I’ll be breaking down the projection soon after also.
