Two great movie worlds of newspaper business. Spotlight - Oscar for Best Motion Picture, The Wire - Considered the best American TV Series.

Finishing up my TAXES, scanner is steaming, didn't realize how many projects I wrapped in 2016. I wish I had a Clerk like "Blues Brothers".

Moments before craft services start flying, on a film set of a Russian feature film "The Mine", back 2012. I love Santa Monica.

Sometimes I wonder looking at my crew list for tomorrow, but again what can I do, but still better than one mans army. Viva la #Filmmaking!

Last summer days, I really could use a time machine and enjoy #Dzintari with some style, #cigars, and a top hat, see you there #gentlemen!

#MakingOf the #shortfilm Sandbox. I really miss this day, the script was rewritten 16 times, full month in #editing and I have my 6 minutes!

Another trip to #SanFrancisco. With #Panasonic #Lumix camera, a #helios 44-2 lens, and a crazy pipe clamp phone holder that I put together.

Doing research for a new feature film. A lot of #steadicam shots. Got #inspired by Garrett Brown "#Rocky", and Ivan Gekoff "#Stalker".

If #acting is great, visuals are awesome, but sound sucks - nobody will watch your film. Here is our #independent #feature #film sound kit.

My new #book, understanding #acting makes you a better #film #director. For me there are only two methods: #Stanislavski & #Shakespeare.

Impressive #TV series Apostle. #EvgeniyMironov plays twins, like #TomHardy did in #Legend, not in a single shot, but still amazing #acting!

#Independent #horror #movie I have in pre-production, inspired by a real location in #Japan, a good challenge for my #filmmaking skills.

I think every #filmmaker will want to stop by at Descanso Gardens next #Halloween to see some crazy #pumpkin #carving #art, especially when you are a fan of #StarWars. Thank you Mr. Lucas for this amazing universe, fingers crossed for #Disney

Good production sound is a must on an #independent film shoot. If #actors #performance is great, it comes to #cinematography vs #sound. Great cinematography, bad sound - no one will watch the film, but if sound is good, and the cinematography sucks, people still watch the film!

Enjoying 1922 “Nosferatu” by F.W. Murnau accompanied by a live organ soundtrack. A film that made me completely rethink my understanding of horror movies. #cinema #horror #soundtrack #sepia #cinematography

Gary Oldman plays so true that even I had a moment that made me drop a tear. Darkest Hour is a true Oscars deserved cinema experience. #Filmmaking Darkest Hour #oscars #Oscars2018 #GaryOldman #drama #WW2 #WinstonChurchill #biography #History #Cinema

Watching a #documentary "Eight starts" in my favorite movie theater in #Riga "Splendid Palace". I'm really exited that Latvian cinema is reborn and finally you can watch new film on the big screen. Now #independent #filmmakers of Latvia have more chances to be heard and seen!

The movie theater is already empty, but I just could not leave. Re-watching "The Shape Of Water" after Oscars, and still have to listen to the final tune till the end. #movies #Theater #Oscars2018 #ShapeOfWater #GuillermoDelToro #BestPicture #Drama #fantasy #Cinema #Baltimore

Combining my first and only impression of Tarkovsky’s films, re-visiting Blade Runner, and never quitting writing screenplays like Trumbo. With a little add-on, put it into production when the final draft hist the table. #Filmmaking #Trumbo #BladeRunner #RidleyScott #Tarkovsky
