Friends! You have reached a page where I no longer Post. You can still DM me! I might also re-upload some of the stuff that used to be on this page somewhere sometime?

Anyway, if you still want to follow me, you can do so with any Fediverse app (Mastodon, Thre*ds, etc) at this handle: @bnjmn@blog.bnjmn.id

Why delete all of my Instagram posts? Simple: I am no longer getting from Instagram what I am putting in. They get the ability to use my content to train generative AI, without payment or due credit to me, for the benefit of their stakeholders who are apparently okay with supporting fascists for a buck. And every tap on my profile is their opportunity to get someone addicted to reels. Meanwhile, I get my photos mixed in with cheap slop in a buggy app that everybody hates. This is not a good deal!

That awkward moment when the silly characters on the page come to life and sit on the merry-go-round with you--

Pragmatic best-friend Bill (Joseph Collins) and chaotic music-lover Marty (Tamara Escamilla) come to the screen in Mile 15, the soon to be Canadian road trip classic. Stay tuned for more updates on Bill and Marty’s journey through post-production and beyond.

And for those who wanna hitchhike along for the ride, feel free to contribute to our gas-money fund through the link in our bio!!

Have s'more Behind the Scenes of Mile 15!

Needless to say, this film has been a very fun and wild ride. From karaoke on the backroads of BC to lurking in abandoned cemetaries at 5am, we've been doing it all. We'll have more updates coming along so stay tuned!

Have you considered donating to the gofundme? Link is still in bio and, unlike us, it is not going anywhere until this film is done. DO IT NOW!!!

Another Mile 15 Update!!!!🚗🍪🪕

A week and a half ago, Ben and E.K went location scouting throughout the West Kootenays! It's hard to believe we roll cameras in just a few weeks. Glad we have everyone along for the ride!

Check out @starlesssky.prod for our production updates and GoFundMe link!
