In two weeks time it'll be three years since I started making my lil' movie, and by some miracle I'm ridiculously close to finishing the thing. It's like 98% done. I didn't give up lads. Anyway, updates here - @davebrainvfx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@davebrainvfx

I have spent the last few years making a movie as I try to learn #Blender. Now I'm 2/3rds of the way through production I feel it's probably time I post a little teaser! I present to you, Kosmic Kidnap -

Super excited to be producing this for Frank Hammond! He's a big supporter of me and @ashens film projects and did the lighting for Polybius and Turn Back. He's a good dude and he's created this very cool dystopian short film! You can support it here! kickstarter.com/projects/frank…

We shot Walter Hill's classic film traveling across NYC for 67 nights in a row during the summer of 1978. It was quite a journey.

The Warriors (1979) Based on Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel (itself inspired by the ancient Greek Anabasis), the film was originally envisioned as a western before being adapted into a gritty urban odyssey. It was shot on location across New York City during a period of real-life urban decay, which provided an authentic, "nightmarish" backdrop for its fictional gangs. Despite being produced on a modest budget of roughly $4 million, it grossed over $22.5 million worldwide. It opened strong with a $3.5 million weekend, proving highly popular with young, working-class audiences. Success was marred by reports of real-life gang violence and vandalism at screenings. This led Paramount Pictures to temporarily halt advertising and release theater owners from their contracts to show the film. The film’s longevity was solidified by its 1980 VHS release, which allowed it to find a massive audience through word-of-mouth and midnight screenings. It has since seen numerous re-releases, including the 2005 "Ultimate Director's Cut" (which added comic book-style transitions) and high-definition versions on Blu-ray and 4K. It is celebrated for its vivid visual language—specifically the theatrical, themed gang costumes like the Baseball Furies—and iconic dialogue such as "Warriors, come out to play-i-ay!"

The only natural skill I've ever been blessed with is that my stomach is ready for action the second I wake up. I could demolish a roast dinner for breakfast, but society frowns upon it 💔

Got some bacon carbonara noodles from the Asian supermarket, absolutely gorgeous! They shouldn’t work, but really tasted great!

More research for #TurnBack! We visited the Black Shuck festival in Bungay a couple of weeks ago and saw this amazing costume!

Spent 2 days driving around Norfolk with @ashens and @ryan_livermore for potential village locations for our feature film #TurnBack. We had to stop off at the "Black Shuck" church to see the infamous claw marks!
