@LukeBarnett Congratulations!

how it started / how it’s going Very grateful to everyone who has supported me thus far. More to come very soon.

Terribly sad about Tom Noonan passing. In casting Manhunter I auditioned about 10-15 actors in New York when Tom walked in the door and said, “I don’t want to talk. I just want to read.” He read and it was magical. We worked closely. I based Dollarhyde less on the novel’s character and more on a convicted killer whom I met and with whom I corresponded who was doing life in Vacaville. I took Tom into that world and he made it his own. It was an automatic to cast Tom in a wheelchair as Kelso in Heat. He did so much more fine work, but it was as the battered child become a killer adult - both alive in the same bottle - that projected the range and deep soul of this so acute and committed artist. Rest in peace, Tom.

@GareRick So good!

genuinely glad there are others who continually nerd out about just how great this movie is

@staceycrussell Congratulations!

I’m so honored, happy, & still kind of in shock to announce that THE OPEN AIR is one of six Finalists for the Drama Feature Award at Austin! I have truly been blown away by the response to this script & I’m so grateful to be able to attend AFF & promote this beautiful story. 💙💛

@IsaacEzban Congratulations!

A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!!!!! I´ve always have the dream of adapting Stephen King, my favorite writer and one who embodies better than anyone the contrast of beauty and brutality that has inspired me and shaped so much my vision as a storyteller... What an honor to be adapting #Rat (one of my favorite novellas from him) to the big screen, with an amazing team (including the producers of #TheWitch and #TheLighthouse, and an incredible screenplay from my deeply admired friend Jeff Howard, who co-wrote some of my favorite horror creations ever like #TheHauntingOnHillHouse, #MidnightMass, #Oculus and many more... what an honor to be working by his side!!!!) This is it... My survival movie about writers block... My ultimate story about the dark forces of the creative impulse... My ultimate tale of our craft vs. our people, our creations vs. our loved ones, our art vs. our family... My dream project... MY STEPHEN KING ADAPTATION!!!!!! Sometimes dreams do come true... Never stop believing in them! deadline.com/2025/09/stephe…

@jeffreyhoward33 Congratulations!

Something I wrote during the fires and man, you can tell when you read it! deadline.com/2025/09/stephe…

I'm happy to be a part of this. Thank you, @WeAreTheIWC

@GareRick Great flick! Saw a print as part of a double bill with A Better Tomorrow II at the @newbeverly back in 2019

I just watched this again last night and it's really, really good and you should seek it out if you've never seen.

REPOST by Monday, July 14 for a chance to win this signed Blu-ray of Robert Altman’s SHORT CUTS from ⁦@Criterion⁩! It’s not available to stream or purchase digitally anywhere! Support #PhysicalMedia! I’ll pick one winner at random and announce next #ModineMonday! Good luck!

@tschrack Congratulations!

That's a wrap on post-production for our short film, S.K.A.T.E. Can't wait to share with you all!

MIAMI NEONOIR ❤️‍🔥 Coming to the Criterion Channel in July! criterion.com/current/posts/…

@GareRick My second cousin, who was in a bunch of my short films, played one of the speaking-part firefighters on second engine, I've got an old production t-shirt lying around somewhere, I should see if I can find it.

One of my first dates! (Second after What About Bob?) Backdraft is one of my all-time favorite summer movies I literally wore out the audio cassette of the s/t, amazing work by Zimmer - and by all the pyro and stunt and craftspeople on this movie

@GareRick Just rewatched it earlier this year, the first time since the theater. Super lean, and a fun flick.

#NowPlaying 30% on RT! the 6.1/10 IMDB is more like it, though I'd give it an 87/B+ Does it deliver what it promises? YES, and then some. great actors going toe to toe, no CG, 90 minutes...

@kimhornsby @erichcannon Congratulations! Well deserved!

Tomorrow I fly to the big screen premiere of my first feature film as Writer/Co-producer! 🥳🥳🥳 Indie Filmmaker, Producer, Distributor @erichcannon didn't have to arrange a theatrical showing for cast & crew to gather & watch, but he did ✅ He also didn't have to mentor me as a producer in 2023 but he took on 2 of us, showing us the ropes of production ✅ He doesn't need to gather a group of talented BTS creatives to make more movies but that's what he's doing at Compassionate Disaster Films ✅ I'm grateful and proud to be associated with his company & can't wait to see what the future holds Very Personal Sidenote: This story was already close to my heart with the adopted child reconciling her "abandonment" (my daughter is adopted) but when they asked me to make the mom a widow, it became very real having just lost my husband to COVID. It seems fitting this will be my first feature premiere, with so much of me & my kids in this story. I wrote the mom in this story from deep in my heart. There WILL be tears in the audience, and not just from me, I suspect. Stay tuned here tomorrow to follow my unreal journey of going to see our film BRAVING RAPIDS on the big screen Thursday night!

Now it's dark.

@loganwrotethis Congratulations!

Well, it’s been a long journey. Writing every day for six years, even when I didn’t feel like it. But as of today, I’m officially repped by Jeff Belkin at Zero Gravity. Now, the hard work begins. Let’s do this!

@GareRick "Dinner and dancing at Taco Bell"

I need this so bad.

@thisguytoph @iamzoekerr @Joe_N_Marino @astrov2 @nh_cohen Have a blast!

@Joe_N_Marino Have fun, buddy! Wish I could be there. Safe travels!

Layover in Atlanta. Two hours from now, I'll be at the Austin Film Festival, badgeless and ready to claim the title of Phantom of the Driskill. #AFF31
