Man, I have almost zero recollection of even doing this, nonetheless editing it and showing it to people on purpose.

Feels so good to be filming and editing something new again. I have this project I've been sitting on for 2 years and just needed to feel inspired to finish it. I have become a lot more of a perfectionist, trying to elevate the quality of my own productions.

Today will be the 3rd time I shoot the intro and close to this video. I need it to be better. I'm not real accepting of the words "good enough" as I don't want that to be the kind of work I do. I don't like "good enough" and I want to always be striving for "good" so that I will feel great about what I've made.

Quality over quantity. I can't wait to finish this one. I got on a real roll this week and strangely, I'm savoring the editing. Taking my time, while I have some, and toying with ideas and looks more than I normally do. So maybe I can wait to finish this one.

Whenever I get into that groove, the editing trance as I sometimes refer to it, I get lost and there's no sense of time while I immerse myself in the footage, the ideas, and creatively just play with it all - different versions, different techniques, and I'm just not fully conscious. It's like I'm in that theta wave state in between being awake and asleep, where anything is possible, ideas float in and out, and the next thing I know - it's 3:30AM and I started at 10:12AM the previous day.

Taking a break from Social Media Monster Doc and the like, aside from some podcast interviews that are still coming in. I just want to focus on other things for a bit. Cinestudy has some things coming too. My idea of a "break" is to edit SOMETHING ELSE.....

Our documentary Social Media Monster has been canceled at streaming companies, silencing the voice of victims and targets of online abuse. Companies like Amazon Prime Video and Tubi sided with the iPredator that harassed all the people in this video. Over two dozen people talk about the harassment and targeting they suffered from Matthew Berdyck.

I made a documentary called "Social Media Monster" and it was set for Amazon Prime VOD and had played on other streaming services. The titular "Monster" contacted them and also my distributor, FilmHub, and rather than stand up for the targets of cyberharassment, they effectively sided with him and silenced the voice of his victims by removing the film form their platforms.

Here is just a small sampling of the victims and targets that deserve to have their voices heard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0HpZ94ThjU

For those who have been messaging, calling, and texting, checking in on me, I want you to know that I appreciate it so much. I'm feeling a bit better now.

What happened was my documentary Social Media Monster Doc was picked up by a distributor, sold to 10 streaming services that included Amazon Prime (VOD) and Tubi. The titular Social Media Monster, Matthew Berdyck, got the film removed and dropped by my distributor.

This silenced the voices of his victims. What has inspired me to continue, to not quit this endeavor were those same victims. All the people he has targeted, threatened, harassed, and stalked. They are speaking out. A lot. Like this

Unseen Films review of Social Media Monster
http://www.unseenfilms.net/2024/05/social-media-monster-2021-releases-may.html

"This is one of the most compelling films I've seen in years"

"I have to really praise Ross for making a film that gets under your skin and drags you along. It's a film you are going to want to share with friends and family members because they need to see this unbelievable tale as well."

"Peter John Ross has made a documentary that is so perfectly researched it puts every other documentarian to shame. In many ways this is as perfect a documentary as you can make."

Over a decade ago Matthew Berdyck walked into an IHOP in St. Joseph Missouri to ask for help because he said he saw a man strangling a woman...

I have 2 copies of this book. If you grew up on Star Wars and loved the Empire Strikes Back, this "making of" book that is long out of print is essential reading.

There’s a book that is a day by day, on-set diary of the filming of ’The Empire Strikes Back,’ warts and all, and few know it even exists.

If you’re like me, you are a frequent surfer of the web (is that what kids still call it?) and you’ve also probably received your fair share of hateful messages. And even if you aren’t an avid user of social media, then you’ve still likely received some unsavory comments from those who disag...
