I'm not done here.

Over the past few months (or probably year, it's been some time), I've been scarcely checking and posting here. It's not that I am trying to stop going here, or trying to slowly fade out. I mean to be continually active, but I keep forgetting to check this place. So yeah, please don't consider me inactive or anything. I don't know if anyone has, but yeah.

So, now that that's out of the way, let me make this blog interesting and talk about some ambiguous film project I've already purchased equipment for and started shooting.

I'm working on a film I wrote, currently titled "Student Film". It's going to be my first feature length (2 hour) film project, and I'm hoping I can get it done soon to enter it in a festival.

It's a found-footage style horror film, much like The Blair Witch Project. I've been trying pretty hard to make the story and script pretty damn scary without using those stupid gimmicks like jump scares and stuff. I'm also trying to make it different from most of the found-footage genre films that I've seen, since I don't want it to be just another found-footage flick. I want this to be a memorable film with many interesting aspects.

I don't want to spoil too much of the story, and I can't really explain the plot very well myself without doing that, but here's a bulletin list with some of the cool stuff in the movie:

• It takes place in 1993
• It's shot on a professional VHS video camcorder
• It's about several high school students, the main one being a film maker, and a damn fine one at that
• Lots of mysterious stuff happens, with a lot of hidden complexity in it
• It's science fiction. Nothing supernatural here.
• There's gonna be a lot of shooting in forests, caves, abandoned towns, and 90s bedrooms.

Yep. I spent over an hour retyping the plot again and again until I realized I couldn't get rid of enough spoilers for my life.

So yeah, this project is actually coming together. I have several friends already helping me out with this project, so trust me when I say this is going to happen. Hope you guys are interested, as I might upload a teaser in a few months.


Also, I've been working on an awful lot of artsy junk. Here's my dA if anyone wants to see some of that awesome stuff. http://samblye1.deviantart.com/
Also, the other day I worked on an experimental, glitchy art video for Vimeo. https://vimeo.com/39940526

And here's some of my film photography work:

There's an awful lot of nice photos there. You might like it if your into that stuff.


Well, that's a couple of things. I'm sure there's more, but this is getting long and boring. Point is, I'm still here.

Over and out.
