Film and Media workshop

Elliot Felde February 15, 2026 1 Comment

Around 2012 I attended a film and media workshop through a day program that I attended when I lived with my brother when I was twenty one. I heard about the film and media workshop through a staff who worked at the day program. I signed up to attend the film and media workshop (which was next door to the day program)

I went to the film and media workshop to learn how to create films. My dream job was to be a movie director. One of the first questions was what do you want to learn when you are here. I said I’d like to learn how to direct movies. Our first assignment was to write, direct, and edit a one minute short film based on a real event

 I wrote a script to present to the workshop and I got to direct my own story. For the other one minute short films, each student got to participate in helping with each piece. My favorite job was to direct and be in control. I learned a lot. Every Friday, we watched a movie and noticed and pointed out things we learned in the workshop.

I got to meet Joey Travolta (John Travolta’s brother)

David Zimmerman (He was a cameo in Meet The Fockers, he played Dom Focker)

Here are some videos I got to work on: (Please watch the credits to find out what I did in each video)

Disney Dreamlight Valley: Showcase

Elliot Felde October 17, 2025 1 Comment

A few weeks ago, I posted about a game I play called Dreamlight Valley. On Oct. 15th, there was a showcase that showed off what’s coming to the game the rest of the year, as well as the first three updates of next year.

The next three to four updates coming to Dreamlight Valley are Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Pocahontas, and Hercules. The Cinderella update will be available Dec. 10th.

In November, we’ll be getting a new expansion called Wishblossom Ranch. In Wishblossom Ranch we’ll be getting a new way to explore and do things around our valley by being able to ride horses. We’ll be able to do everything on horseback that we can do on foot, such as gardening, mining, and digging. We’ll be able to fully customize horses. We’ll have a stable that will hold four horses. We’ll also be meeting three Disney horses that will have special abilities that we will be able to unlock. Wishblossom Ranch will be available on Nov. 19th

I don’t want to give too much away in case you want to watch the showcase for yourself. You can watch the showcase here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv92KKv9fGI if you are interested.

I’m very excited about Wishblossom Ranch and the ability to ride horseback, which will make it easier to explore and do things in our valley.

Are you familiar with Wishblossom Ranch? Would you like to learn more about it?

Dreamlight Valley expansion teaser

On September 3rd, there was an expansion teaser that showed we’ll get to take care of horses and ride them. We’ll also be getting Snow White and Tinker Bell.

Not only will we be taking care of and riding horses, but we’ll also be able to do activities with them.

We’ll find out the full details next month.

I’m looking forward to the new expansion and learning more about what’s to come in Dreamlight Valley. I previously wrote a post explaining what Dreamlight Valley is. If you haven’t read that post, here is a link to the post

Disney Dreamlight Valley

Elliot Felde September 2, 2025 No Comments

I’m a fan of Disney, and I was browsing YouTube one day when I stumbled upon a game called Dreamlight Valley. The game has an interesting storyline. One day, you are walking along and you come to a tree where you drift off to sleep. You awake in a place called Dreamlight Valley, where you meet Merlin, and he tells you that Dreamlight Valley was once a place where villagers all lived together. One day, Dreamlight Valley was taken over by The Forgotton, a curse that caused the villagers to forget. Some villagers were able to travel to realms where the Forgotten can’t affect them. It’s up to us to help stop the Forgotten.

Dreamlight Valley is a life simulation game where you help your favorite Disney characters by going on quests. You can cook, fish, or mine. It’s a fun game, though it can be challenging at times.

I started playing around two years ago in July. I play on PC

Has anyone heard of Dreamlight Valley?
