The McMinnville Short Film Festival fosters a critical component of Oregon’s Yamhill County arts community by connecting local filmmakers with their counterparts around the world, and by providing a venue for culturally diverse screenings, events, and gatherings.
The musical short film was Executive Produced by Portland-based composer and filmmaker Kurt Rosenberg, based on his song of the same name. It was brought to life with stunning animation by Joël Gibbs of ARMADA studio.
I’m a stand-up, but I want to make movies, or just write them. Or act. Or edit. Or decoupage, but I don’t think anyone would pay me for that, really anything but any stand-up.

Maxie, an award-winning independent film shot entirely on location in Eugene and Springfield will premiere on April 29, 2022, at the Broadway Metro in Downtown Eugene.
The film was shot in 2020, during the height of the pandemic, and follows two homeless adolescents over an eventful weekend, as they attempt to get clean and begin anew.
The cast and crew are all local talents from Eugene, Springfield, Roseburg, Florence, and a couple of transplants from California.
As a sound recordist for film & television in Oregon, I’m responsible for keeping synchronicity between the camera department and my location recordings. Motion pictures demand an unceasing audio stream of dialogue, effects, and music to glue at least 24 frames per second of visuals together. It wasn’t always this way of course.

Silent film provided a rapid stream of still frames that reflected an animated reality that was novel enough for this blog to exist.Continue reading... “Eksod – Altering the Cinematic Experience”
