And It Hurts: Looking to ‘Beyond the Black Rainbow’, ‘Drive’ and ‘Lost Highway’ for filmmaking inspiration

For the upcoming Stark Insider YouTube promo trailer I decided to look for inspiration and do something a little different. In this case I had recently watched Mandy (2018) and was blown away by the aesthetic, Nicolas Cage's outstanding and unhinged performance, and, of course that incredible 80s soundtrack.

Yes, Stark Insider is All Things West Coast. Being based out of San Francisco means our travels and stories here typically takes us around the Bay Area, and occasionally up and down the West Coast. But not always. Sometimes, like any of you I'm guessing, we take trips to...

In my time with the Canon EOS R I found a lot to like. The relatively small camera packs a full-frame sensor into a mirrorless design --- Canon's first. For far less you're essentially getting a Canon 5D IV in a small body, with all the great features mirrorless...
