An invitation for YOU! And an EXCLUSIVE script download

Welcome to APCC, a community for creatives and by creatives, to learn, connect and share.

APCC introduces its brand new component for community building – a biweekly newsletter developed by founder and fellow creative, Adrian Per. Here you can find detailed breakdowns of his videos, community highlights, and more.

Welcome to the club! 

In case you missed last week’s announcement, this is our invite to you to come watch the premiere of Adrian Per’s short film being screened live in LA and NYC. Its a one night only event taking place from 6-10pm, free admission with RSVP. Click on the links below to get started!

🎥 LA/NYC folks, we got something special in the works for you! I’m hosting the premiere of my very first short film for you to watch in person with me. RSVP links for each individual city is available here (LA / May 11th) and here (NYC / May 18th).

🎡 Coachella like you haven’t seen before! Here’s some special video postcards from the desert to kick off the start of festival season.

📝 I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, writing is the backbone of all good content and media. Here’s the Sunday Short of 'How I Write My Films’ so you can be prepared before you even start filming.

As promised, here is the script for last Sunday Short ‘How I Write My Films’. Let me know how you’re liking these and I would be happy to share more of the ones you all are interested in. You can give feedback in my Ask Adrian box here or in the Discord chats!

Most of the shots I do are absolutely achievable with any camera set up. I’d say about 95% of my shots are made up of just by me, my camera, and tripod. No crew, no lighting, no special grip gear.

Start looking at movies or TV shows you like the cinematography of and copy them. Everything from the height the shot is at, the angle, tilt, pan. Over time you’ll start to develop things only you really like and it’ll start becoming your own style! You got this. — AP

Have a question about cameras/editing/technical skills? Ask Adrian here! Every week, he will pick out one question to answer in depth on the following week’s newsletter.

_{Adrian believes in utilizing his platform to feature creatives on a global scale. Through the formation of APCC, he hopes to bring more exposure to creators and encourage others to tap into their talents and let their art speak for them. Every newsletter, Adrian will handpick creators whose work he admires to highlight them on the Creator Spotlight.}

_{There will be one film, one photograph and one video postcard selected for the bi-weekly Spotlight. You can submit your own works through the Discord community here.}

This edition’s featured submissions from “Share your—” channels:

FILMS 🎞️ “I quit my job - ALL IN ep. 01” by Nate Bustamante @nate_bustamante.

Nate walks us through one of his most important and life altering moments and in doing so delivers a beautiful short film comparing his life decision to a poker game. Great storytelling inspires taking that leap and betting on yourself.

Congratulations on your new adventure, Nate! Watch this film here.

It’s still crazy to me how many of you guys really rock with this newsletter! It’s been so well received over the last two weeks and I’m excited to keep this going – this, paired with the Discord, has been honestly such a refreshing way for me to engage with y’all personally. Don’t forget to submit your questions in the Ask Adrian box in case you’re looking for info that I haven’t touched on yet – and hopefully I get to answer it in next week’s newsletter (or even an eventual Sunday Short)!

In other news, don’t forget to RSVP to the LA/NYC short film premiere coming up in the next few weeks. This project is so deeply special to me and being able to showcase it to all of y’all is something I’m really looking forward to – I even have a few surprises for y’all still that I haven’t dropped yet. Just stay tuned for the upcoming updates, I got y’all.

And lastly, before I let y’all go, I want to also give you guys a heads up that I will be teasing bits of all my future content in these newsletters. So if you want to get ahead of the curve and see exclusive teasers before I drop them on socials, don’t forget to tune in.

See y’all in the next one and as always,
