Happy New Year! I’ve been quiet for a couple months because I’ve been deep in research planning for 2026. Every year I end up making videos on only 2 different movies and I'm hoping to expand to cover a variety of different movies/topics this year.

I'm also planning on bringing back Cinema Stories! I've wanted to bring it back for years. It has been particularly difficult without a dedicated set, but I'll soon have one when we move into our new place. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law have made this all possible and my brother-in-law has been single-handedly converting this workshop into a space for my office/set. It is a very exciting time for us to be much closer to family and having a much more permanent living situation (we've had to move 6 times in the past decade).

Here's where I need YOUR help: Apocalypse Now, Alien, Full Metal Jacket, The Thing, etc. were all the most suggested movies on my last survey. Now, I have a new survey that will shape the videos I make for the foreseeable future.

If you’ve got a few minutes, I’d really value your input here: https://bit.ly/4sDb3Ro

There are skippable sections, so it can take as little as ~5 minutes.

Also, I'd love to get some feedback on the survey (too long, confusing, etc.) before I roll it out to everyone, so let me know by leaving a comment!

Thanks so much for your support!

Hi Tyler, I just completed the survey but something important occurred to me afterwards that I wish I'd mentioned in the 'any other feedback' field. In the survey you want to identify what elements of Making Film we consider most important (time and place, myths and realities, technique, etc.) but I had real difficulty choosing. I think that the point is that the choice of which of these elements matter depends on the film, and we're trusting you as our guide to make that choice, per project (or even per video) on our behalf. In a certain sense we, your audience, are idiots and so our questionnaire answers shouldn't end up skewing what you do. You are the guide, and it's your knowledge and passion that should drive what ends up on your screen. As Steve Jobs once said, the public only know what they want when we show it to them! I hope this is helpful feedback, and I look forward keenly to your next choice of project.

Thanks so much for your feedback! This is more to see if there is a strong consensus one way or the other, but the structure and focus of each episode is usually dictated by the research and which direction leads to a deeper exploration. I would find it helpful when deciding what to distill and what to get really detailed on. My earlier videos were much more technical and I slowly switched to being more story-driven, but I’m curious how much the audience’s sensibilities match my own.

Heh I said something very similar when I did the survey also! It really depends on the specific film and the story behind it.
