“Caught” is a story about a guy who catches something strange going on in his neighbors house. But the more he investigates the more questions he has. Friends this is the first short iv directed in a while, I’m not exactly sure when its dropping, but we needed a trailer for festivals and this is the best way to see if this one works (not the final trailer). A lot of ppl worked hard to make this a thing and they all will be properly credited when the official trailer drops… I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think Let’s keep film alive in the DMV.

What’s up friends 🎙️ Pop-Tarts > Toaster Shooters, hands down! 🍫🔥 Welcome to another edition of Leon Lights powered by @aim_society ! Today, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how we lit up a podcast snippet. 🎧💡 Keeping it simple with a long softbox for both subjects, adding some color for the vibe, and using the versatile Pluto light to scrape the background and separate the subjects. Quick, easy, and effective! But of course, the DP had to dial it back a bit—so we threw in a white tube light up top to balance things out. 🎬 Sometimes, less is more, but it’s all about finding that perfect vibe. Ready to talk all day with this setup! #LeonLife #PodcastLighting #bts #filmmaking #LightingSetup #CinematicLook #poptartswin
