Wow, fuck this day. I first discovered and watched Béla Tarr's films last year and it had a profound impact on me as a filmmaker and an artist. Never has a filmmaker left such an indelible mark on me since Bergman, Haneke, Waters, and Akerman. I started with Sátántangó and then moved through 1/2

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

I watched Vision - From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen and I found it to be a really good watch. Wrote a review, though definitely not spoiler-free if you wanna check it out. Barbara Sukowas delivers an excellent performance too. It's on Kanopy if y'all wanna check it out! boxd.it/cr1eZX

God, pricing stuff for set dressing and props is tedious af. Much respect to people who do this as part of their job

Before today, I wasn't sure if I'd have the chops to direct this film I'm planning to propose for my university's thesis project, but now I believe in myself. I can do this and even if I make mistakes, and I will make mistakes, I will come out even stronger. Feeling good now ❤️

Got a new idea brewing 🤔

Bugonia: holy shit

Man, this script has had my brain highjacked for months

Finished another draft of my script and feeling good

saw the trailer for Bugonia and I am hooked already. I'll have to try to find someone to go see it with me when it comes out

Finished the script last night. Rough draft version, but I'm proud of what I got

I'm up to 6 pages now. Feeling good about the direction the script is going. Didn't write nearly as much as I wanted to, but that was largely out of my hands. Pretty eager to get this baby down while it's in my brain :>

Wrote the first scene of my short film tonight and feeling kinda good about it

This is an abuse of our military and obviously puts civilians at risk. Maybe having a Fox News idiot with masculinity issues run the Defense Department wasn’t a good idea.

Now that Bari Weiss has ascended to a powerful position at an influential network with a PR machine, I am seeing outlets that cover media like Puck and Mediaite present her as a "centrist" who might even challenge Trump. That is such a deep and willful misreading of her oeuvre.

Rodney Taylor still needs our help! He’s still locked in an ICE camp. He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs. He’s still facing deportation to Liberia. He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored. Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

why’s he look like Andrew cuomo?

Dear #Bluesky, what's your favorite music video? I personally can't pick, but right now I'm totally enraptured by the music video for Santigold's "The Keepers" www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZoH... #musicvideo #film

Been doing some research off and on, including listening to music, for a short film I'm working on writing and I have this particular song stuck in my head and it will not vacate the premises no matter how much I try to get it out www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjRb...

Just remembering Search Party exists and now I have an itch to rewatch it

Ideas are a-brewin'

The Josef von Sternberg collection is on sale and I'm broke (for now). How dare real life >:(

Finally got to watch György Fehér's Szevendély. I liked the overall look, especially the chiaroscuro and how it leaned hard into noir. The performances are great as well.

my review:

Oh no. Sátántangó is on my brain again

Robert Eggers gives me hope about doing period pieces

im EPing this hilarious short/proof of concept by an amazing Black woman led sister team! here's their Kickstarter link to help bridge the gap in post production! Got some cash burning a hole in your pocket? Then join me in supporting these talented women and the mission of diverse storytelling!

Wrote about one incredible shot midway through "Sinners" that functions as its visual, musical, and thematic centerpiece. One of the best things I've seen this year: joysauce.com/the-incredib...

I'd really like to see some English language YouTubers cover UFA's history because, with what very little I do know, it is very interesting

Good night :>

I gave it a rewatch and god-fucking-damn does it feel more tense and heart-wrenching on a second watch

I can never not hear Jennifer Rush's Power of Love without thinking of Michael Haneke's The Seventh Continent

A friend of mine is trying to raise funds for her short film project and can use any help possible. It's a very funny story and it needs a little more help to get to the finish line. Share or donate if you can :) www.gofundme.com/f/support-fi...

Got my first taste of being on a set this weekend and I already crave more of it

gave a talk about the importance of sound in film to a lower division class and I think I did a good job for someone who's only just starting that particular journey lol

Every time I watch this movie or read the book, I walk away feeling introspective and contemplative. I think a lot about how this perfectly encapsulates a collapse of societal structures and shows how life in decay is a sort of hell on earth. I also think a lot about how the story itself 1/6

I think you're swell. All I got is bourbon. noirbooks.blogspot.com Film Noir mood 📽️ cinema FilmNoir Filmsky

It's Sátántangó time >:)

Not Sátántangó invading my brain again

I am proud to say that I got to be involved in this as the sound recordist. It was an amazing time and I loved getting to hear everyone's story and listening to them talk about being Two Spirit. Please check this out if you can www.indigenouspridela.org/two-spirit-i...

Me when I first write a script: haha, this is so good Me when I'm revising the script for the umpteenth time: *flips off the screen* I fucking hate you Me when the script is in its final draft: that wasn't so bad :)

goddamn turbo team

omg I don’t know what to do with my hands this looks so good

Saw the trailer for Friendship. Basically I Think You Should Leave but as a horror-dark comedy feature length. Definitely gonna see it

The Girl With the Needle hits Mubi tomorrow, so I know what I'm watching this weekend

One of Them Days was a delight. Keke Palmer and SZA deliver such top notch comedic performances and there were quite a few shots that I really enjoyed

Watched Nosferatu again and I feel like I've caught more stuff in this viewing that I missed in the first viewing. Definitely a film I'll have to get a physical copy of

Sometimes you just get the urge to listen to music from Béla Tarr's films

Saw Nosferatu! It was really good. Eggers really maintained its Expressionist roots and the cinematography goes hella hard. The acting is superb and Lily-Rose Depp killed it as Ellen. As a fan of the original and Herzog remake, I was really happy and overall impressed with it. Definitely see it!

Gonna try to go see Nosferatu tomorrow
