My mom died when I was 17. I only have a handful of pictures and zero videos of her. A couple years ago, on my birthday, I got a text from a number I didn’t recognize. It simply said “happy birthday” with a YouTube link. I clicked it and my heart stopped. It was my mom. I had to pull over immediately. She was telling me how proud she was of me and how she wondered what I’d become. Maybe a policeman, a preacher, or even a clown. I couldn’t believe it. Well, it turns out the random phone number was my friend Jon’s dad, who had found this video on an old VHS tape they made before a 1999 school event. I was 16. This experience got me thinking... what if we could have one last conversation with someone we lost? 🚛 The Crossing Over Express is now on @X 👻

@bonniegrrl Those are the people who will call you ableist for saying you like to play basketball.

@LukeBarnett Wait, does that make me the pile of chairs in this scenario? 😂🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑

Signing into bluesky.

We made a one take short film based on a viral tweet about the state of the world. Shot between audition tapes. Botched the first take, used the second. Just threw it on YT. Give it a watch and share if you haven’t seeing it yet. youtu.be/j-Uc0KZZorM

@Bobs_Diner1985 Hey thank you, and very sorry for your loss.

@LukeBarnett Makes me miss my dad. This was from the heart. Kudos.

Love to see these horror movies succeeding but it’s hard to enjoy when we’ve seen so much real horror within these walls. Anyway, happy hour 4-6.

This weekend is nothing new and old as filmmaking. Every great success is tied to the same story. Taking a chance on emerging talent. Somehow the business convinced itself they could Marvel their way through it. This isn’t a new paradigm. It’s should be a signal to return.

Someone inviting to their screening but it’s not Hollywood Blvd or LA Live.

Guess this wasn’t the best week for my agent to take out my Grogu spec. 😞

@robinsonishyde You done good, kid. You done good.

The choice to not play a score over the Death Star trench run until the most experienced pilot dies is one of the greatest editing decisions of all-time

So damn cool. Well done, @BootsRiley. Loved it.

@shotclock24 @arXhiiipower @StopTweetingMia Not “best” black or white actress, ANY actress who leads a film that does Obsession numbers will be PAID.

Again, my point is that in regards to your comment about Obsession specifically, ANY actor or actress who is young and attractive and leads a movie that absolutely crushes the box office will get a ton more high paid opportunities. Awards or acclaim aside, I’m saying if they make money they’ll be offered a lot more money.

Inde better get 10 of those M's considering her face is on every single piece of marketing for the movie including this one

@HollyBell8 @CindyPoluta Can I see an example of one of your posters? I think ethics aside I’m getting at everything LOOKING ai because it all has the exact dumb style.

@CindyPoluta Here’s my controversial take: Not sure what the difference is. I provide the photo/graphic and the verbiage and ask AI to put it together for me. Not using other’s work/images and I get a better looking product.

Guys. Can we just go back to humans creating posters on Canva. I can’t do these AI posters anymore…. please stop. Honestly.

@shotclock24 @arXhiiipower @StopTweetingMia Can you give me an example of an actress whose movie crushed at the box office but didn’t lead to more, well paid opportunities?

@arXhiiipower @LukeBarnett @StopTweetingMia Mixed actresses like Chase and Zendaya don't count.

Somewhere out there a 14 year old is sneaking into Backrooms or Obsession and it’s going to create a forever love and appreciation of horror movies. As someone who knows that feeling well, it makes me very happy.

@DEADLINE Oh hell yeah
