I love the way comedy movies are often light-hearted and provide an escape from the stress of daily life. They aim to make people laugh and provide entertainment to the audience while making social commentary or critique using humor, satire, or parody. 

I dislike the way comedy movies lack diversity and inclusivity, with certain groups being underrepresented or portrayed in stereotypical ways. They can also fall into predictable tropes or rely on cliches. This can make the movie feel formulaic and unoriginal.

Massive mistake rescheduling needed

Image
 Hey blog. This past weekend we finished up our short film in the shadows Upon editing I realize a massive flaw within our film. Though our filming went great with Brayden and Sarah nailing their roles to a tee, I made a mistake. I filmed the entire film vertically, an absolute travesty. It was as if the film was supposed to be on a social media app you scroll by, obviously not proper for the formatting we intended. But its not the end of the world a we have a lot of time to re shoot. I'm not going to dwell on it however as again its just a small bump on a long road. Other than the actual formatting of the film being wrong the scenes themselves are very good and I am pleased with the outcome. We will just consider the first shots as a simple rough draft. I will talk to Brayden and Sarah about another filming opportunity. Again our schedules this year has with out a doubt has been the busiest we have ever been. With work and sport conflictions between all of us, someone is going to ...
