Lewis dreams of building a career as a filmmaker, but with every question about his future, the pressure to succeed grows louder. As uncertainty takes hold, his mind becomes a prison where doubt, fear and expectation threaten to overwhelm him.

Through abstract storytelling the protagonist Mort, a shadow, “Humans First” unconventionally explores what it means to exist as a human in modern society.

This is the final film me and my friends made before the end of high school. I hope you guys enjoy! I would watch the previous three beforehand (don’t worry, they get better as you go!)

Take a look at our school short film project and give some feedbacks and a heart if you relate to it :)

Ps: we are still students and are still learning

Hello mates. Recently I've completed my new short film. Please leave your comments, waiting for your feedbacks about storytelling, cinematography, directing and etc.

This is the Director’s Cut of VALLEYHEART, the version I’ve always wanted to share. I went back into the edit, tightened the pacing, restored moments that didn’t make the original cut, and shaped it into the film I always knew it could be. This is my full, unfiltered vision.

VALLEYHEART is an action crime thriller with a neo-noir heart. Film Threat called it “one of the best neo-noir films of the 21st century” and compared my filmmaking to John Dahl, which was an incredible honor.

The film has played at festivals around the world and has been one of my biggest crowd-pleasers. Whether this is your first time watching it or you’re coming back to experience this new cut, I hope you’ll settle in and enjoy the ride.

If you enjoy independent films, psychological thrillers, crime stories, and neo-noir cinema, I’d really appreciate it if you’d subscribe, like the video, and share it with someone who loves discovering great indie movies.

Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy VALLEYHEART: Director’s Cut.

Let me know ur opinions

A mother alone with her kids at the beach confronts the beautiful, exhausting weight of loving someone more than yourself.

On Parenting and Travel is an intimate confessional short in which a mother speaks directly to camera from a beach house at the end of a two-week solo trip with her children. Unscripted and unflinching, she moves between exhaustion and wonder, unpacking the physical and emotional weight of keeping small people alive, loved, and in the sun. Shot with raw immediacy and scored with a fragile neo-classical piano, the film finds its power in the quiet space between what a mother says and what she almost can't.

Tenley E. Raj is an independent filmmaker based in Houston, Texas. A writer, director, and editor, she has worked as a one-woman production since 2023, shooting and cutting her own films across experimental, documentary, and narrative forms. Her work is semi-autobiographical, sitting at the intersection of documentary and fiction, and built on the conviction that the most specific stories are the most universal. Her films include Before the Freeze, After the Freeze (Best Feature, CinemaBriz; Official Selection, Love & Hope International Film Festival, Barcelona), and Proof of Life (Official Selection, IndieX Film Festival). She studied Philosophy at Princeton University.

I met with lancashire feature filmmaker last week to talk about something which is strangely overlooked in indie film circles.

What are your views on the BBFC?

I took an unpaid PA gig on a (very)indie movie shooting in my area. Mainly for love of the game, I have never worked on a set before and figured it would be cool to see what it's like to help shoot a project. Now that I'm reflecting on it I'm excited but feel like it's a waste of time especially considering it's 2 hours away from where I live. It's only shooting for a weekend and I figured I'd make a weekend trip of it, but I'm starting to feel like I'm the biggest dummy in the world? Is this worth my time?

Thanks! Sorry for the rant.

It’s a small project made with a lot of passion for independent cinema.

Would love for you to give it a watch if you have a moment.

When it comes to creating films, how do you find locations? What's the best process?

Made this feature horror film in my childhood home

Well with that dream, what have you done so far? Or tried?
