I Want To Be The Only One Working On My Films

 A major film production is made by so many different people with different jobs, but I don't make major productions, I make micro-budget films. So I only have very limited resources and I'm happy with it! I'm a creative-type and a money-saver. A major studio may hire a producer, editor, cinematographer and a director of photography, but I would rather be in charge of production, editing, video and the film's look because I have a big imagination, though I'm sure there will come a time someone else will be the producer. A major studio may hire a whole team of animators, but since my animation is just stop-motion and paper cut-outs, I'm in charge of the animation. And a major studio may hire use big fancy cameras to film and edit the movie, but I would rather do what I've known since I played with a camcorder and Windows Movie Maker. Now I will say, I do most of the voice acting for my films, but I cringe when I look back at my voice imitations on my 3DS, not every voice I do is my best shot, so I do ask people I'm close to to voice some of the characters. I'm also looking forward to hiring pro voice actors at some point. Also, sometimes I do the background music myself, sometimes I ask my mom to be a backup (my computer can't handle acapella apps, I have a voice changer app).

How My Love For Filmmaking Started

This is the absolutely true story on how Colton Leach Films came to be! This was originally a video, but I took it down because it got a copyright strike (I'm not always careful with that unfortunately). It all goes back to 2008, my third grade year, I had enjoyed watching behind-the-scenes featurettes on DVDs for years. I actually didn't go to the movie theater very often, I watched older movies on DVD and Blu-Ray a lot. I enjoyed watching Lego stop-motion animated films, I was a member of the Lego club and the Lego Club uploaded an interview with a man named "David Pagano" who made Lego short films, that's what inspired me to be an animator. That same year, I got a desktop computer and I discovered something that changed my life forever; Windows Movie Maker, it was revolutionary for me because I could make whatever I wanted, almost everyday I made films with it especially with a camcorder my mom bought for me! But I didn't make actually good films until I ...

I went to Cosmic Holler Film Fest 2025

Yesterday I went to the third annual Cosmic Holler Film Fest and I had more than a blast! I entered my film Pasquale Dickinson in it, but they didn't pick because the leader of Cosmic Holler said I would have a much better chance of being picked if it was a short film and that's what I'm going to do. My next short film is TBA. Anyway, my favorite films were Autumn Spooks , which just had old timey Halloween plush toys as the characters, and Wolf Moon Rising , which was just predator with werewolves! Cosmic Holler Film Fest was at The Cinema at Camp Landing in Cannonsburg, Kentucky. I actually met the director of Autumn Spooks, who's from Flatwoods.
