TJ Hoffman and his film documentary Roadie: My Documentary spans his 20-year career of being roadie turned filmmaker that includes insight from many of his friends in the touring industry. TJ spent most of the 1990s and 2000’s crisscrossing the planet with bands like M.O.D, Agnostic Front, Ignite, and many more. One of his fondest memories during this period was pulling triple duty as tour manager, drum tech, and guitar tech for Skid Row, the opening act for the legendary KISS Farewell Tour, the last outing with the original members of the band.

1 WE'RE NOT DONE YET Short Film Discussion - Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival 2025 - Independence vs Control 50:55
Ladies and gentlemen, WE’RE NOT DONE YET is one of the very few short films that have been selected as an Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival. The film is about Alex who visits his newly single mother for a weekend at her beach house. But when he is confronted with her new independence, Alex is forced to face his own controlling nature. This film is a lesson in behavior and it causes ourselves to take a look inside. We need to realize that being controlling can be sign of fear, insecurity and a lack of understanding. I love films shot on real film as it gives an authentic look and realism to the story, the true essence of life and of cinema. With WE’RE NOT DONE YET, this is another film that I will remember for a long time, because it is character-driven. You feel every emotion of each character. It gets tense and some of us may feel a bit embarrassed for some of them, because it causes to take a good look at ourselves. I think this short film is going to go a long way in 2025, so I’m keeping my eye out on this one. Filmmakers Sofia Camargo and Joseph Longo and their short film WE’RE NOT DONE YET, an official selection at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Sofia is a Colombian filmmaker based in San Francisco. Her short film "Al lado del río" (2019) won the NALIP Jury Award, was featured at the Carta-hi-na International Film Festival, and was selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick. Her cinematography has been showcased at Berlinale, Aspen ShortFest, and the New York African Film Festival. In 2023, she received the Vienna Shorts Jury Prize for Best Cinematography. Writer and director Joseph Longo has had his short films screened at festivals such as Cannes, TIFF, and Palm Springs. He produced the feature film "A Perfect Day For Caribou" starring Charlie Plummer. Joseph starred in the anthology dark comedy “What Doesn't Float” (2023). Currently, he's writing his debut feature, "Lost at the Beach of Sunken Ships" based on the world of “We’re Not Done Yet”. #parentalcontrol #family #motherson #relationship #controlling #behavior #insecurities #sellesteem #shortfilm #sundancefilmfestival #filmmaker #filmmaking #filmdirector #screenwriter #cinema #cinematopgrahy #16mm #kodak #cinephile…

The mother suffering with Alzheimer’s and declining health and son who is taking care of her all by himself. There are two sides of mental health showcased in this film and Dani balances out the patient and the caregiver with grace.

There are so many layers to this short film and you have to truly watch it with a cinematic eye. Every element of this film is part of the story. The story captures your attention instantly. The characters stand alone separate from one other. They have different attitudes, different ideas, and where one couple is living the dream, the father and son are being reminded they aren’t in the wealthy class can only look at being at that level of wealth as if it is some sort of dream. The cinematography is precise and places each of the characters in position of power, economic status, weakness, and vulnerability. In many cases, there is a winner and a loser. THE MASTERPIECE is brilliant filmmaking. I love films that challenge me as I don’t just look at them at face value. There are stories within the making of a film. There are little things like objects or words or the mannerisms of the characters. Spanish filmmaker Alex Lora.

Ladies and gentlemen, SEW TORN is about a seamstress who gets tangled in her own thread after stealing a briefcase from a drug deal gone bad. In an escalating game of cat and mouse, her different choices lead to drastically different outcomes along the way. I loved this film, because of the creativity of the script and to see it all play out on screen. This film brings the story to life with motion, minimal dialogue, which you will not notice as you will be enthralled in the storyline and watching out how each of Barbara’s choices play out. With Switzerland as the backdrop, it plays well together with the skill and beauty of sewing and in this film, every thread comes together and comes full circle from beginning to end. Once you see this film, you’ll be like me and anticipate the making of the sequel of SEW TORN. So it’s time to grab more needle and thread and make it happen. #seamstress #featurefilm #filmreview #filmbreakdown #thread #filmmaker #filmmaking #filmdirector #switzerland…

Ladies and gentlemen, the feature film, I’LL BE THERE is about a blended family. The film focuses on Grace, who never had an easy time explaining to her friends about her family. After the opening scene of Grace and her brothers and sisters as children, the film then finds her more than a decade later, she has built a new life for herself in Los Angeles and cemented her place as the outsider of the family. But her new life is upended when she learns that her older brother AJ has cancer and her now estranged family comes to town to support him. The film is set during the days after Michael Jackson's death in the Los Angeles hospital that is next door to the L.A. Coroner's Office, where the King of Pop was autopsied. As we unravel the family's traumatic past, the pivotal role AJ played as Grace's protector, and the chasm that now exists between them as adults, Grace comes to terms with the ghosts of her past and her former role as the family's "Golden Child." Michael Jackson played an important role in the siblings' childhoods and the irony of the timing isn't lost on Grace. As she tries to reconcile her complicated relationships with her siblings, she's also saying goodbye to the icon who was the soundtrack to that chapter of her life. I loved this film as many people can relate to the dysfunction of a blended family and in this case do they blend at all? But regardless of the ups and downs with siblings, there is an underlying love that never goes away. And for some, it can take decades for that love to rise to the top. Director/producer Andrew Shea, an award-winning filmmaker who has enjoyed success in film, television and theatre. In 2019, his film, Buzz , produced in association with Endeavor Content and Peter Berg’s Film 45, premiered on HBO.
