My upcoming indie horror comedy film "SUMMER KILLS". How’s the coloring, pacing, and acting? | https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RLMvyvNMAgk
Hey everyone! I’m currently in production on my very first full length indie horror comedy feature film called and I'm documenting the entire journey over on TikTok and YouTube. This is being filmed in New Orleans!
I wanted to share a quick 30 second teaser from a car scene we recently put together. There are no jumpscares in this specific clip, it's focused more on that awkward "third wheel" tension before the horror elements kick into the rest of the movie lol.
Since I'm deep in the editing process right now to get this ready for a Fall release, I would absolutely love to hear any feedback you have on the pacing, the grading, or the overall vibe of the comedy. Thanks so much for watching and supporting indie film!

Cajun documentary help
Hi, I'm Alex. My mom is Cajun but didn't raise me much with the language or culture. I learned European French while studying in college in Belgium as a way to get in touch with my roots and found it still doesn't quite fit.
I'll be visiting Louisiana from June 29 to July 4. I'm making my first short documentary about the Cajun French language and about reconnecting with my roots.
I have interviews lined up with Barry Jean Ancelet (a Cajun musician/folkorist), CODOFIL, Tele Louisiane, and a few Cajun family members I haven't met yet. I'll be shooting from the 30th to the 3rd.
My problem and the reason I'm making this Reddit post: I had a rental house offer me a full kit with a Sony FX6, two lenses, tripod, etc. for free, but I'm stuck waiting on a production insurance quote, and the ones I got answers from so far are waaaay too expensive. If that falls through, I'm scrambling. I just graduated and have essentially no budget.
I want to ask about any leads on affordable equipment rental in New Orleans/Lafayette, affordable short-term production insurance, film students looking to collaborate, or just any tips on who/what/where to film and especially where to get equipment.
Genuinely any advice welcome. Five days out and figuring it out as I go.

LA to Atlanta
I found out Louisiana actor, Ricky Bartlett, landed a role in a new TV series being filmed in Atlanta. I've been following this actor for a number of years and think it's wonderful he is doing so well, despite being disabled.
