if not now, when - 2020
Complacency is man’s biggest weakness, it creeps up on us when we least expect it.
I believe we must always challenge ourselves, do things that might be uncomfortable at first because if not, complacency sets in and we become overly content which causes us to be trapped in our comfort zone.

No Second Takes - MTM Festival Teaser
Ordinary film festivals often show Hollywood-esque films full of glamour, celebrities with make-up, and visual effects but overall, everything they show is fictional, in other words - it’s fake. MTM on the other hand is an extraordinary film festival that shows the most authentic movies you’ll ever see because they depict the raw and harsh reality of the human condition.
This satirical teaser contrasts the type of movies you would see at other ordinary film festivals versus the kind of movies MTM has to offer.
