I started this video essay to challenge myself to remake Night of the Hunter using different clips from YouTube, then it became something else. youtu.be/XqPPMzIZ9ig?...

I like this. Whoopie !

I just submitted "Abandoned Movie" to Bizarroland Film Festival via FilmFreeway.com! 🫥

Pure horror.

NATIVE SPECIES 🌴 is coming to Orlando. This curated program of short experimental films has screened 4 times in Gainesville, FL and now I am letting it loose on the rest of the world 🐊🐊🐊

Now, with toxic social media out of my life, I have a void to fill. Today it will be pork and baked beans.

I’m divesting from Facebook and Instagram, even though I’ve built a following (and an impressive grid). I did this with Twitter when Musk ruined it. A change is coming, and I for one am looking forward to it.

Life is less and less a movie, and even more a video game.

Remember when the Neocons called Michael Moore a narcissist? Oh, how much mileage that term would get twenty years later...

Computers are man-made energy vampires, pretty much right?

I bet Tarantino is disappointed Paul Dano didn't rise to the confrontation... I think QT was trying to give him a chance to prove himself.

Oh, the plight of the perennial online Read me: substack.com/@bolddecade?...

I used to think love was about self-sacrifice. That is what Catholicism and the movies would have you believe.

If sitting is the new smoking, then cellphones are the new sitting.

Microcinemas all over the city, like in Old Europe

Decentralized film industry now

GUIDANCE COUNSELOR: So, what do you want to do with your life? ME: Yes.

It is happening again. In 2021, a crisis produced my signature film on Kubrick. Now, with WW3/Great Depression possible in America, I am sharing an article I wrote that addresses the issue of disharmony with nature, surveillance, tech overload and other visual metaphors from Koyaanisqatsi.

Suwannee River at Big Shoals State Park, White Springs, Florida. The water is black due to the tannins.

This is all I want to see Democrats doing from now on.

Jesus this is good.

The US is a country full of really good people

I’m sitting at an outdoor restaurant, alone, listening to live jazz and waiting for my food. And I am stressed to the point my eyes are watering. I just want to live in a country that aligns with my values. I don’t want to live in fear that my government wants to destroy anyone who dissents.

I think we should know this guy's name, as well

Does anyone have recommendations for grant money allotted for videographic film criticism? My new work is in virtual reality and I need help with costs of equipment rental…

I’m finding it hard to keep up

Whore you, the apostrophe police?

Here I am with Saverio Zumbo and Roberto Lasagna, longtime festival organizers for video essays in Italy. We just screened my film, MURDERGAME to an audience of mostly film students, before which I read a director’s statement in Italian (video to surface later?)

I have no human children. But my video essays are the vessels for my hopes and dreams. So if I have one that is underperforming, I want to give it some spotlight. In this case, I submitted it to the Adelio Ferrero Film Festival, where it won an Honorable Mention! 🚀👁️ youtu.be/LeQYq_Fibm0?...

The larger puzzle involves an anti-consumerist statement, as inspired by the explosive climax of Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point (1970).
