Today I’m releasing my first feature length movie - “OJAI”. An experimental sci-fi drama film. Filmed all the way back in 2020, and finally releasing today. You can watch it here on X in 1080p, or go to the film’s website for a higher quality Vimeo/YouTube version: ojaifilm.com As this movie uses zero AI (just some good old fashioned VFX with After Effects!), it is definitely a bit different than the usual Heavy Pulp content that you’re used to seeing on this page, so wanted to offer up some context below if you’re interested: This movie was written, directed, produced and edited by yours truly, and filmed alongside an indie film crew comprised of some incredibly talented people almost 6 years ago. The script was written over the course of 2 years from 2018 through early 2020. Production filmed over the course of 27 days in September of 2020 on location in Ojai, CA with a very indie and now fully exhausted budget, and then edited for nearly 6 years. Now, it’s releasing out into the world. This 2 hour film wouldn't exist without the support of friends, family, faithful crew members and colleagues who believed in the project even when the road ahead was unclear. It wouldn't exist at all without the enormous reserves of patience, skill, love, and dedication poured into it by the cast and crew. There have been so many lessons learned and so much experience gained by making this movie. That alone has made this film well worth it. As the script was inspired by real events and circumstances in my own life, there is a very real emotional arc running through it no matter how surreal or “indie” the movie may get at times. Because of that, I will always look back on this project and the process creating it with absolute reverence. Making this movie has been one of grandest adventures that I have ever undertaken, and I hope you find something redeeming in it too! Already on to the next big project. Enjoy!
