Hi, I'm Luke.

I'm building a "living library" of educational videos for children who need a break in the afternoon. More than that: Each video is designed to inspire them to go do things once it ends.

We are, as far as I know, the only video content designed specifically to get you off platform and out playing again.

Rest. Inspire. Play.™

The Library is still very early in development. You can follow along as we build by subscribing to the "Behind the Scenes" YouTube channel or newsletter.

The Set

Update 2.26.1 Built largely from pieces of The Birdhouse* (our previous studio space), the Library is starting to take shape. Construction has been an exercise in doing what I do well and then leaning on the expertise of others for everything else. Collaboration has been so important, and I would not have made it this far without all the help. There is still a ton to do, but it is nice to see things come together and have something physical to show for all the work we've put into this project. If you're intrigued by where else we've used magnets in production, check out my short film Eros Elinore. The magnets are featured in the Behind the Scenes: https://blog.production-now.com/2022/10/short-film-eros-elinore.html * You can listen to the old Film Team Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtAwogksyQQ&list=PLBvbxFVSVFlAayuPUNsEkpsCgbgtWeIyf Or on Spotify if that's your thing: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1LPReeCIz9fDrhVJAHrCZr Huge...

MVP

Update 1.26.2 As we continue to work on scripts, we're struggling to know what is the Minimum Viable Product. Locations, for example. Being out in the real world is amazing, but has its own set of challenges. Shooting on a set is easier, if you have a set. We need wisdom to know what to push for and what is scope creep. And technology. We need that to work. "Catastrophic failure" is not what I want my computer to experience.

Gifts & Myths

Update 1.26.1 I am NOT a self-made man. If anything, I've been given every opportunity and then some. In addition to having a job making education content parents paid to have their children watch, I've also been given a studio's worth of equipment and more. So like the many others who have had opportunities others don't, I'm working to make something of it.
