Why Now?
Over the last several years I’ve been honing in on my skills as a director, writer, and cinematographer. With over six years of experience as a freelance videographer and four years of teaching visual effects on YouTube, I’ve become accustomed to learning the ins and outs of limited budget video production. Nothing has primed me more than pairing my industry experience with the insights that have been shared with me by the blockbuster and indie filmmakers that I’ve interviewed on my podcast, “Psycho-Cinematic”. With every guest, I’ve picked up at least one invaluable lesson that I will apply to “Desert Trip” to bring it to fruition.

A donation button has been included for those who want to contribute but might not be interested in merch.

Your name will be listed during the end credits of the film as one of the producers.
I just donated or purchased an item, why didn’t the budget calculator increase?
The budget calculator is something our director, Victor, will be updating regularly as the website host doesn’t offer a “live donation tracker”.
