Thinkory founder Ralston Vaz shares a bit of his journey with VoyageLA, and how an unexpected low became part of the road to telling stories through film. 🎬

Before Holding Court, there was By Five.
Back in 2023, Ralston shared what he learned making his first scripted short—and what he hoped to do differently next time.
Now, some of that “next time” is becoming Holding Court.
A look at how we got here:

Quick question. Long answer.
Here’s teaser #2 for Holding Court, our next narrative short film.
At its center is a simple but challenging question:
What are you carrying?

You never really know what someone's carrying.
The calm ones. The quiet ones. The "I'm fine" ones.
Especially them.
We’re making a film about a boy who has one night to write the most important words of his life.
The problem: his house is full of people, and not one of them knows he’s grieving.
Here’s why this story wouldn’t leave us. 🧵
Court is a teenager. A rare shot at a world-class writing conservatory just landed in his hands. All he has to do is write one honest poem.
But it’s the night of his mother’s wake. The house is loud. And the words won’t come.
We don’t have everything mapped out yet, but we believe Holding Court—the #shortfilm we’re working to produce—can become something meaningful.
And that’s enough to keep going.
