Meizu has been teasing its upcoming top-tier smartphone, the Meizu 17, for a while now and we have a new installment in that promo campaign. From a post shared on the company's official Weibo page, we learn that the Meizu 17 will will be powered by a 4,500mAh battery and will support 30-watt charging with Meizu's proprietary mCharge solution. Okay, techincally, there were already rumors on that particular number for the battery capacity and the 30W charging was mentioned in a certification document, at which time a photo of the actual brick also made the rouds. But info comes from the source, so it's rocksolid. Previously, the company revealed that the Meizu 17 will have the Snapdragon 865 in charge, to noone's surprise. The phone will also feature UFS 3.1 storage offering a significant upgrade in terms of random read and write speeds over the prevalent UFS 3.0 as we saw while testing one of the first phones with UFS 3.1, the vivo iQOO 3. A previous teaser had us marveling at the quad-cam setup on the back (without offering any details), while a couple of sceenshots from way back in February point to a 90Hz display. The Meizu 17 will be announced on May 8, so that's when we'll know everything. . . . . #techies_page_meziu #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #meizu #meizu17 #meizu17pro #snapdragon865 #ufs3point1 #ufs #90hz #iqoo3 #amoled #lcd #china #usa #unitedstates #uk #unitedkingdom #australia #canada #india #fastcharging #30wfastcharging #mcharge #weibo #official #page #japan https://www.instagram.com/p/B_eUNqkghhR/?igshid=154h7dn6utmvo

Filmmaker Friday featuring filmmaker Cam McHarg
With hundreds of careers and opportunities, the filmmaking industry can be a unique experience for a filmmaker. Options include pitching an idea, or a commission through screenwriting, casting, shooting, editing, and screening your project. Filmtools decided to take a deeper look into the world of a Filmmaker. This week, we had the opportunity to speak to Filmmaker Cam McHarg about his work. This is what he said:
What inspires you?
Cam McHarg: Emotional content. Sometimes a one line poem is all that it takes for me. The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills is the title of a book of poetry by Charles Bukowski. That title is all that I need to put me into a state of all kinds of feelings and images. Creatively I am inspired by anything that stirs up feelings and images and stories. It could be a bit from a stand up comedian. It could be music. It could be a painting. It could be amazing actors doing mind-blowing work. It could be a photo. I like to find the stories in everything. I notice that when I have a camera in my hands, I’ve noticed that see stories everywhere when I normally may not. I think the trick for me is to keep that mindfulness every day wherever I am.
What is your role on set?
Cam McHarg: My role as a director is to know what I want, to never ask of anyone what I wouldn’t do myself, and to create an atmosphere where everyone can thrive and do what they do best. I love collaboration and I love to give credit where it’s due. I want to surround myself with brilliant people and let them do their jobs. I make the decisions, but I can’t do anything without the genius and the contributions of everyone on the set, from the PA’s to the DP to the actors. It’s my responsibility to make sure that everyone is led and knows what the common goals are, and that they are well respected and taken care of in the process. This whole process is a lot of work, but it can and should be a blast for everyone. If it’s not, I feel like I’ve failed a little bit. So far, so good, though.
Why did you choose this field?
Cam McHarg: I’ve always thought that movies were magic. They’ve always played a special and important part in my life and have sort of lived inside of me like part of my own experience since I was a little kid. I think the first movie that I saw was Rocky. I remember it making me cry. It’s hard to articulate, but movies for me were basically the most important thing in the world. I started acting in plays when I was about 13, and my friends and I started making VHS movies not long after. I just can’t imagine not being involved in this field in some way, and I hope the communal experience of movies on the big screen never goes away.
How does Filmtools help you?
Cam McHarg: Filmtools is something special because it basically has everything under one roof, and there’s something about going in there and seeing everything that just makes you want to go make something. There’s basically everything there that you would need on a set.
What’s the coolest project you’ve worked on before?
Cam McHarg: The coolest project that I’ve worked on? Boy, that’s a toughie… I worked on the set of American History X, which was pretty wild. I had seen some really cool directors work, but I’d probably have to go with my own personal short film that ended up doing pretty well on the international film festival circuit called, ‘The End”. It’s a Vimeo Staff Pick now. I remember seeing it with audiences a few times, which was always really scary and thrilling and always exciting and satisfying. It’s a black comedy that came as close to what I had initially envisioned as anything that I’d done before. Samsung actually reached out and used a portion of it for their World Cup campaign, which was really flattering to me. It was a cool experience.
What are you currently working on?
Cam McHarg: I’m in early development with my partner on a feature called Sitiado right now. It’s too early to post much else about it other than what’s on IMDB, though. I’ve also been writing a smaller and much more personal passion project feature that I’ve been wanting to make all of my life called Monroe Log. I’ve prematurely created Facebook pages for both of these, but I think for now the best way to keep up with both of these is to follow my directly.
Do you have a piece of essential gear that you don’t leave without?
Cam McHarg: I like to use the Artemis app a lot, but I also love to carry my Sony A7s around and keep it in the 16:9 aspect ratio just to play around with seeing and framing things.
Whats the first thing you do on set?
Cam McHarg: Go around and shake everybody’s hand.
What advice would you give to people interested in this industry?
Cam McHarg: It’s such a rapidly changing business in every way, it’s hard to keep up. Number one, I’d honestly advise someone to not do this if they could be happy doing anything else. If you can’t, I think the one single best piece of advice would be to carve out your own way. Don’t wait for anyone. Figure out and know who you are. Get as much life experience as you can. Read and write. I’d say that really sums it up.
Where can people follow you on social?
Cam McHarg: All of my links are on my website at: www.cam-mcharg.com Here are my Instagram, Vimeo, and Twitter links, though.

The director of SPAGHETTI JUNCTION wanted to make sure the makeup people made me extra sunburned and beat up and hungover.
I’m pretty sure they just walked over to him and said, “He’s good.”

A little throwback photoshoot.
I was a film student at ArtCenter College of Design and Colin Jacob was a photography student.
These were a few of his shots he took of me that I just found from that afternoon all those years ago.

This is me being directed by Jean Luc Herbulot (Saloum) on the set of ZERO (2023) in Dakar. This was one of the single craziest and greatest experiences of my life with the best and biggest-hearted people on the planet. I love them all so, so much. I’m glad to be back home, but I already miss everyone, and the unique creative and general insanity of being with them all there.I was left full of love, gratitude, memories, occasional hangovers, and bruises.I can’t wait to do it again.Until next time…Merci!

I like that independence.I'd be really happy if you subscribe to it and join me.www.thisismcharg.com

My last film (DEER SEASON) was featured in FRAME LIGHT’s British film magazine, SHORT FOCUS (Issue 2). The physical magazine comes out on January 5th, 2021 and can be pre-ordered here: www.framelight.org/magazine
“Cameron McHarg’s Deer Season is a short film in the tradition of good short stories, telling more in its elisions than actual words or pictures. Its eclipses speak more to lives marked by absences: those of two friends played by McHarg and co-producer Hus Miller) for whom the passing of twenty years estranged has served to erase more than a shade of familiarity. In its place they have the social crutch of sport (hunting), its provision of common purpose, and its permittance of conversational silences.
The camera dips in and out of their exchanges, lingering in the pauses on railway bridges, freight trains, rock scrambles, yellowing leaves. McHarg captures something inhuman in the otherwise idyllic autumnal environs of these Washington forests, something in the spaces between the men’s utterances, hinting manifold unspoken anxieties - about family, maleness, class, and ownership - and the forest’s vacant refusal to cure them.
In its preoccupations and formal economy, Deer Season feels a lineage of twentieth-century American stories, but the men’s experiences are contemporary. When McHarg’s character confesses, euphemistically, of fronting happiness to hide a near-terminal depression, the slightest phrase - “all those pictures?” - signals a mode of self-alienation specific to the post-Facebook age.
Social media platforms advertise the preservation of social bonds across all time and space, yet within them we are encouraged to broadcast ourselves as idealized takes to an audience of friends with whom we may have had no meaningful contact in twenty years.
Miller meets McHarg’s confidence with a response that presumes a recovery not discussed (”I know what it’s like to do the right thing - turn your life around”) yet carries still decodable warmth. It is a flavour of masculine empathy that both confers and undermines itself in its too-ready attempt to restore dignity to the vulnerable party.
It is hard to tell how it lands with McHarg, perhaps too self-conscious to really listen, but it is something - a moment of good intent. What follows almost immediately, is an incident many times the magnitude, and completely devastating. Unseen to the viewer, it occurs entirely through reaction shots, sound design, and a few panicked phrases of dialogue. Its burden settles heavy on McHarg’s expression as the men drive back from the forest, bringing with them something more to hide.”

There are just too many great people and conversations to let it disappear completely.
Since my old longstanding Facebook and Instagram accounts were hacked and deleted early this year, I've lost the accompanying T&D pages and have elected not to rebuild them, but to just keep the actual podcasts posted.
It's now up on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/triumph-disaster/id1092949701
The blog/website will be up for six months and then I'll let that go, though.
www.triumphanddisasterblog.com
I might add new episodes periodically, but I'm too busy with my own personal endeavors to do it regularly for now. Enjoy!

Someone has written a script (”BOUNCER”) meant for me to play the lead in, which is the most flattering thing I could ever possibly imagine. It’s a low budget feature film loosely based on my years of experience working as a doorman in clubs throughout the Sodom and Gomorrah of Hollywood and the Sunset Strip. It’s a black comedy with a lot of heart. This is the pitch deck (screenshots) for it. The script really is great. It’s written and to be directed by Daniel Freedman, the screenwriter of the upcoming Warner Bros film, “Undying Love”.
