L.A. friends, NOW INSTANT is graciously hosting a mini retrospective of my directorial work from 2011-2023 (minus the features). Please come out: now-instant.la/events/an-even…

In Order Not to be Here (2002; Deborah Stratman) sprawling suburban spaces give way to the 21st Century digital panopticon. Still alarming 25 years later

no matter how many movies i watch, no matter how much i expand my knowledge, this remains the greatest acting and the greatest writing i have ever seen. it’s been 7 years since i first saw this movie and still i think about it every day

While we’re sharing reviews of BLUE HERON, I covered it out of its Locarno World premiere. It’s lost none of its magic in the ensuing months. inreviewonline.com/2025/08/10/blu…

Happy 76th Birthday to the talented, Brad Dourif!

An extraordinary movie; one that manages the feeling of stream of consciousness filmmaking that yet circles back around into being one of the most deeply emotional films about the relationship between an artist and their work that I've ever seen

Sho Miyake's Locarno winner, TWO SEASONS, TWO STRANGERS, is a meditative tale of chance encounters. It will have its US premiere at @NDNF on 4/17. @Several_Futures will release it at NYC's @Metrograph on 4/24, before expanding. Watch the U.S. trailer: hammertonail.com/trailer/two-se…

Fellow Cinephiles will absolutely LOVE this as we go behind the scenes with FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA and GENE HACKMAN shooting ‘The Conversation’. A fantastic ‘making of’ documentary. CLOSE UP ON ‘THE CONVERSATION’ (1974)
