Or, at least, it was. You see, I’ve always been driven…
From Award Winner to Uber Driver | The Brutal Reality of Independent Filmmaking
The red carpet, the flashbulbs, the clinking champagne flutes – it all feels like a lifetime ago. A lifetime lived by someone else. Someone named Arthur Kensington, a name once synonymous with independent film brilliance. I remember the night the golden statuette felt heavy in my hand, the weight of validation, the promise of a…
I Thought I’d Made It—Then My Film Flopped and Took Everything With It
The red carpet felt like a mile-long victory lap, each flash of the paparazzi a confirmation of my ascent. “Alexander Thorne,” they’d chant, a name once whispered in film school hallways, now booming across the Dolby Theatre. My wife, Eleanor, a vision in emerald silk, squeezed my hand, her smile mirroring the one plastered across…
How Hollywood Chewed Me Up and Spit Me Out | A Filmmaker’s Worst Nightmare.

I Invested My Life Savings in My Dream Film | Now I’m Bankrupt!
The Rise of a Visionary Filmmaker. I never thought I’d be writing this story—not like this.
