Michael Taylor Dakota Mali.
I just got the chance to finish production on what has been, at this point in my life, the biggest film project I’ve ever been a part of, and one that I’ve dreamed of for a few years now. I survived the re-shoot. This weekend was life changing, truly. If I had a song to convey how I felt inside when we all got to say for a final time “that’s a wrap”, this would be it.
And a side note to anyone who would ever by chance read this, don’t ever doubt yourself on your goals, hopes, and dreams. The only person who can tell you no is yourself. It takes hard work, dedication, and perseverance, but you truly can do anything you put your heart and mind into. It’s cliche for a reason.
the truth.

Life’s been pretty crazy these last few weeks, it’s been an emotional roller coaster to say the very least. Between dealing with personal relationships and losing my entire 16mm film project due to an error in the lab, I’ve had a lot of doubt about a lot of different things.
I decided to remix an old favourite track that I found myself coming back to over and over. This was from when Wiz hadn’t sold out yet, and spoke on issues we could actually relate too. The sample speaks the simple truth: we must go on.
the crying shame is, as time’s changing: best friends become strangers. that’s how it is.
forgetting about most of the pictures you get back when you develop film is a great feeling.
time was short on courts and pavement, we knew we had to leave
but have I made the most of everything? did I give to not receive?
are there any better words to express the full extent of my grief?
it hits home, when I’m not home.
I take back some of the dumb things I wrote late last night.
I still miss my best friends.
but I’m gonna pull my shit together, learn from it, excel, and laugh.
always have, always will.
watching my first film trying to grasp how I’ve developed as an ‘artist’ over the last 36 or so months, thinking about what part of it still excites the shit out of me, hoping this next film teaches me new things, wondering how pointless talking shit about other people is and how people find joy or relief in it, yet how my favourite part of today was more or less a really ugly thought in the same vein, and ultimately asking the most fundamental question of my 21 years of existence in why I thought a large coffee at 10 pm was a good fucking idea and that it wouldn’t keep me up.
I’ve been really bitter lately and I don’t know why it should matter to me because it obviously doesn’t to you?
can’t fucking wait for summer and spending time with people I really fucking miss.
I better be productive.
choke on one.
I’d like to call this week the “Mike Mali Stops Giving A Fuck About Most Of The Time Being Nice And Calls People Out On Their Shit Because He’s Stressed As Fuck.” week.
Hopefully I get a decent 10 minute 16mm short out of it by 7 AM Monday morning.
developed my first roll of film today.
this was my favourite part of the game.
I’m aware of how gay that makes me.

I probably shouldn’t be sharing this (don’t tell Joel), but I absolutely cannot wait to drop this tape. It’s been a few semesters in the making, but we’re hoping for a late April release?
We’ve decided to call the tape “Public Transit.” Expect a full .PDF art package with the digital download.
PS: Anyone know a dude who can press Vinyl? ;)
that’s all you get.
I #actually can’t wait to get this game. that’s my exact crew too.
