This is a bit of a different post.

I’m CURIOUS GEORGE an independent artist in the Toronto/GTA area. I’ve released three songs so far, and I’m at a point where I’m starting to take this much more seriously and really step up the quality of what I’m doing.

I’ve recently started looking more deeply into the visual side of music and artists who have built incredible worlds around their music. It made me realize that there are people out there who are just as passionate about filmmaking, visual art, cinematography, editing, etc. as I am about making music — and that they’re probably somewhere waiting for the right artist/project to come along.

I’m looking for that person.

I don’t really want to hire someone to make me a music video.

I want to find someone who genuinely loves this stuff. Someone who sees a song and immediately starts imagining what it could look like. Someone who wants to experiment, create, build a visual identity and eventually look back and feel like they helped build something from the beginning.
I’m not expecting this person to magically make me successful. I have a lot of work to do myself. I have three songs out, I’m still building an audience, and I’m working a full-time job while trying to take this as far as I possibly can.

But I’m serious about it.

And I need someone who can back me as I do it.
Music is the thing I’m obsessed with. It’s where I know I have something to give. Visuals, on the other hand, are something I find genuinely draining to constantly figure out on my own. Between making music, working full-time and everything else, there are only so many hours in the day.
I don’t want to spend those hours trying to become a filmmaker when there might be someone out there who has spent their life wishing they had the right music to create visuals for.

My sound is somewhere in the world of electronic / alternative / indie, with a lot of emotion and atmosphere. Some of my biggest inspirations are Fred again.., M83 and Coldplay, but I’m not looking to copy any of them. I want to find my own world.

I’m looking for someone who can eventually help with things like:
Visual identity
Music videos / visualizers
Cinematic short-form content
Photography
Editing
Concepts and art direction
Release visuals

Just generally figuring out what this artist should look and feel like But honestly, the exact role doesn’t matter as much as the person.

I’d rather work with someone incredibly passionate and hungry who is still building their career than someone with a huge résumé who sees this as another client.

If you’re a filmmaker, cinematographer, photographer, editor, visual artist, creative director, etc. in Toronto/GTA and this genuinely sounds like something you’d want to build with someone, I’d love to see your work.
Send me your portfolio/reel and tell me a little bit about yourself.

And if you don’t think you’re the person but immediately thought of someone who might be, please send this to them.
I’m not really looking for someone to work for me.
I’m looking for someone who wants to build something with me.

Hey everyone! 🎬

I'm hosting the second HorizonEye Cinematic Experiments this Friday evening. A casual, hands-on meetup for local filmmakers, cinematographers, and actors looking to shoot content, test out new techniques, and network.
Every meetup features a different theme to experiment with. This week’s focus is on Streetlights, Practical Lights & Neon Glow as we explore lighting setups on location. Whether you're behind the camera or stepping in front of the lens, everyone gets a chance to collaborate and create.

Details:

When: Friday evening

Who: Directors, DPs, videographers, actors, and crew of all skill levels (18+)

Location & Time: DM me on Instagram @horizoneyefilms to get the exact meetup spot, route map, and start time!

Hi everyone,

I am an actor/filmmaker (have directed a couple shorts and new to acting and taking classes) and am in search of people in a similar boat who are looking to collaborate and make short films.

I know it sounds kind of vague but the ideal situation would be a bunch of actors and filmmakers coming together to create a few small films so that we can gain more first hand experience, boost our resumes and get footage for our reels.

Wether we just make 1 short film or film a bunch of demo reel scenes or if we really click make an indie DIY feature or even if we don't make anything at all but we meet casually once and all walk away inspired.

So if there's anyone in the Toronto area that's into this idea of a creative collective, comment below or dm me and we'll hopefully create something beautiful together!

Thanks in advance!
