You alive blog? Sorry I neglected you so long. Wish I could say I would continue to update, lets just see how it goes

I entered the 72 hour film festival once again this year, and loved every bit of it. The team we gathered together is really great and was nice to finally force myself to make a film. It always makes me so happy, yet sad that a year goes by and I do so little of it. Well things are changing!

First off, we won Best Film in the festival! This was shocking to say the least, because of some of the other amazing applicants. But I won’t complain Check out the video below…
