"SEEING DOUBLE" is a short film originally made with the intention of entering into the Roger Corman quarantine film festival. But I missed the deadline and didn't follow any of the rules. Haha.

Inspired by the Twilight Zone and my curiosity of what I could make with NO crew and the equipment I had at home.

A few years back, I made a feature film with NO crew called, "THE CUBE". Although, I'm proud of that film, it's not great cinema ... but if you're curious to see what can be done with a budget of only $500 and NO crew, feel free to check it out at: https://www.thecubemovie.com/

The experience of making and selling "THE CUBE" online led to the creation of a film resource called, "FILM TROOPER".

FILM TROOPER featured a weekly podcast show to explore how independent filmmakers can apply internet marketing strategies to help sell their films online better. The motto for FILM TROOPER is "Empowering Filmmaking Entrepreneurs". The website and podcast is now more or less an archival resource as many of the content is dated. If you're interested in going down that rabbit hole, feel free to check it out at: https://filmtrooper.com/

One of the products that came from my experience while running FILM TROOPER was the research and curation of material for the publication of the book, "HOW TO MAKE AND SELL YOUR FILM ONLINE and SURVIVE THE HOLLYWOOD IMPLOSION WHILE DOING IT".

This short film was shot entirely using the DJI Inspire 2 Drone. Hint: You don't always have to turn the drone on. I think they've just dropped the mic. (Be sure to watch the behind-the-scenes of how they did it at: https://youtu.be/ECy75GyzNvc)
