george’s reaction to REN FAIRE…

Vadim Rizov is an excellent editor and one of the best film critics writing today. What is happening with Filmmaker magazine is bizarre and wrong.

GOOD MOVIE ALERT, WEE WOO WEE WOO

@cofalt loved this man! thanks for having me on!!

Love the way Lance thinks about filmmaking. A full hour-long Toolkit about the making of REN FAIRE podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ren…

I scored a film about python hunting in the Everglades and it’s premiering at SXSW this year. Thanks to the director Xander Robin for tapping me for this wild ride. #floridacore schedule.sxsw.com/2025/films/220…

Here's me, on @GQMagazine's Best of Culture year-end list, recommending @lanceopp's 'Ren Faire' gq.com/story/gq-best-…

primetime... Primetime... PRIMETIME!!!

“Nonfiction cinema — a lesser art form — is dead to me and I’m turning my back on it forever,” said @lanceopp in a prepared statement

As the Texas Renaissance Festival gets ready to kick off, here's an update on the stars of HBO's 'Ren Faire' trib.al/BkeOAZQ

i loved MEGALOPOLIS omg…

ABOLISH TEXTING BRING BACK PHONE CALLS @lanceopp

What film are you streaming?

Ren Faire (2024, dir. @lanceopp)

Emmy noms are right around the corner, and one film getting buzz is “Spermworld," a doc that explores the new Wild West of baby-making. Take a look at how #CreativeCloud played a crucial role in the film's formation: adobe.ly/3zOSi6g

I had so much fun discussing the sonic world-building of @HBO docuseries #RenFaire with my friend, filmmaker @lanceopp and sound supervisor Paul Hsu for the #DolbyCreatorTalks podcast 🎭 Watch here: dolbylabs.co/4eMlqLA

Lance Oppenheim's REN FAIRE is the best thing I've seen so far this year. Like AMERICAN MOVIE and GATES OF HEAVEN, it really immerses us into a distinct, real world with unmistakable personalities. Plus, Ari Balouzian's original score is a knockout. This is another win for ELARA.

The director of HBO's 'Ren Faire', Lance Oppenheim, eschews the visually static realism of most modern documentary series in favour of something that feels akin to Kubrick’s 'Barry Lyndon' or Paul Thomas Anderson’s 'There Will Be Blood'. satpa.pe/JQdo8rx

Simply have not stopped thinking of this moment in @lanceopp's brilliant doc, #Spermworld.

Inevitable but still depressing to think of the loss of Robert Towne, Donald Sutherland, and now Shelley Duvall in a short span of time, each representing something idiosyncratic and brilliant about filmmaking of their era that we have not yet lived up to.
