Pictionary Man
This is a simple little film I was doing. I was bored. I'm not exactly sure if I will have pictionary man "Coming Soon", though.
Dorito Love
My favorite film is called: Dorito Love
It was a movie I made for a film class once. It's funny and has a very unexpected ending too.
Enjoy! Once again, sorry 'bout the quality. It's Blogger's fault, not mine.

Danny's Son
This is a short film that I made with my brother and a friend of ours. Technically, I didn't direct this film at all. It was rather my brother who did. Basically, it's a movie about when my brother Danny was younger. He basically spent his free time on the computer downstairs. He would always be playing some new game and whenever you opened the basement door, he would instantly switch windows(i.e minecraft to microsoft word) and tell you that he was "doing his debate stuff" or some other excuse. As soon as you closed the door, he would get back on his game. He's totally grown up now and to be honest, I don't know why we came up with this idea. Whatever the case, I like him now and this video remains a classic...because it's realistic. This is what Danny use to do. By the way, he doesn't really have a son and "Allen" is just a friend of his.
Enjoy! Oh, and sorry about the video quality. It's Blogger's fault, not mine.

One Of My Latest Films
One of my latest films is about...cowboys.
The title of this particular short film is called: The Wyld Stallyns Cowboy Convention For Cowboy Cronies. Very odd, don't you think? It was such a hard film to do. Why? Because.
So when I began, I had a whole bunch of people who were going to work on this film. They were going to work on lights and sound and angles and everything in between. Two nights before the production, a friend of ours called us to say that his brother and sister could come but he couldn't. The next day, at 6:30 P.M, while I was finishing the script, two other families called me to say that they couldn't make it! So I was down to four people that were coming - only nine people in all! We also had editing issues and light problems, the wind was a real problem - we had to cut a scene out because of it and some of our actors were being real problems - doing bunny ears in the shot, saying lines they weren't supposed to say and doing beat boxing while making goofy faces into the camera and kicking their feet out. It was a real pain in the tailbone. Or, should I say, a millstone around my neck. But when we finally got done, I think it was worth it. Next time, however, we are gonna have a shotgun boom microphone, gaffers, best boys, key grips, set managers, script D supervisors... I do go on and on, don't I?
In short, we're going to get organized a little bit more. We're definitely going to have more people and we are planning so much. I'll try to post it on YouTube soon, and I'll have it(with some other short films) on DVD. I will also try to premiere it.

What does "Regnet" Mean?
"Regnet" is a Latin word that means "Reign". If you look up the words "He reigns' on google translate, and translate it to Latin, it will say "et regnabit". Latin is so strange. However, if you look up the word "Regnet" on google translate and translate it into English, it will say "reign". Sometimes, Latin is stranger than English. Or is it Google Translate?
Videos For Jesus
I am a thirteen-year-old Christian boy who loves to make films. My name is Thomas W. Sargent. I want to make films to entertain, inspire, encourage and most of all, glorify the Lord God. He has been so good to me through my childhood, and I know He will be with me through thick and thin.
When I get my friends together, a lot of times, we don't play. We make movies. I've read books, gone to film classes and learned a lot. On my ninth birthday, I got a camera. Everywhere I went, I convinced all my friends to make films. I always had it in my pocket, and now, even though it doesn't work, I have it on my shelf. Since then, I've improved my stories and equipment(and I still have a lot to go!).
I'll keep posting about new films and stories and I'll be posting my short films. God Bless!
