I just wish we had some scifi that explored paths to a better future, instead of exclusively exploring bad futures. What our society needs is a shared vision of the good future to aim for.

The news media (and social media) focuses too much on the negative when there's actually plenty of good news out there as well. This is doing real damage to our society as it pushes everyone into panic. Here's one of my favorite antidotes to that: fixthenews.com/

I'm looking for volunteers to help with VFX on a short film. We're down to a specific kind of shot that we have a lot of: Planar track a surface (street, fence, wall, etc.) and place an artwork or word there, blending as appropriate, then mask out any foreground elements.

We're on the home stretch, with a film festival submission deadline in early June, and it would be great to have some extra help to make it happen! What we lack in cash we make up in camaraderie 😊
