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

“Wondersludge” is a sketch for a scene in my upcoming VR essay film. It’s presented here, in all its DIY glory. I no longer have the butcher knife.

What if I stopped feeding the content machine altogether? And just made more collages:

Happy to say I have accepted a position as Jr. Video Editor at Vobile Inc, in Alachua, Florida! I will use as tools of my trade Adobe Premiere, which has become my instrument of choice for self-expression! These regional headquarters are at San Felasco Tech City, a positive Florida business hub.

My new video just dropped! I've been planning this one since The French Dispatch (2021) #wesanderson #art #videoessay youtu.be/kh3VngWiD24?...

Pretty despicable. Glad I deleted my professional WeTransfer account prior to reading this.

Hello ~ I was offered a three-night hotel stay to come screen my new video essay at a film festival in Italy! Help me cover the travel expenses. Even $5 would be a big help 💙 www.gofundme.com/f/help-phili...

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

More great press for my film, screening on 8/8 in Gainesville, FL.

I so enjoy real ones.

Attn: North Central Florida ~ I’m screening my essay-memoir film on 8/8 here in Gainesville at The Ox. Followed by standup comedy. Check it out if you want to have a real time.

Arrested for asking to see a warrant. The fascism is here, y'all. What will you do when fascism comes to America? It's whatever you're doing.

I am not a good fit for this job, even though it is something dear to my heart. If there is anyone in Florida who does love hiking and is interested in preserving the Florida National Scenic Trail, this posting could be for you: floridatrail.org/job-opportun...

In the Russian grocery store, the doggie dish had borscht in it

I watched KILLER OF SHEEP and really loved the dreamlike imagery interspersed with the neorealism. It’d make a great double-bill with ERASERHEAD. Two Angeleno visions from 1977.

Gainesville, FL ~ DELUSION TRILOGY screens 6/30 @ The 117, 8pm. Mark your calendars!!

I’m a hearty, Jaws-loving chap as much as the next guy, but I did not feel compelled to rewatch it this year. I know it better than any other movie ever, so it lives inside and is always with me, like a friend.

What’s in a name anyway

Good to see this girl after a week abroad! 😻

Make this go viral.

Paella!

Last day in Madrid. Thinking about Sunday’s Q&A and how getting a challenging question from the audience opened the portals for discussion about my video essay. Will post the video and the question soon.

A simple flan

An outstanding Vanguardias event at Casa de Campo that combined live flamenco performance with a documentary style video essay and live reading about its history in España 🇪🇸 @filmadrid.bsky.social

International travel checklist: passport, electrical adapter, mask, Euros

Disregard that date, this is happening next week! I am coming to Madrid to screen my video essay QUANTUM MCFLY on June 15! I am really excited to check out the other video essays in the program, screening at La Casa Encendida. filmadrid.com/en/the-video...

HOTEL MONTEREY (1972) walked so that THE SHINING (1980) could run.

DELUSION TRILOGY is made up of 3 experimental films: HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS TO STANLEY KUBRICK, BELLOW OF THE CROCODILE and MURDERGAME. #gainesville #tampa #arts #florida #expfilm

Post-ironic title aside, my home for written criticism is now live: substack.com/@bolddecade?...

I’m going to tell my kids this was Steve Martin.

I subscribed to the substack of @milesklee.bsky.social in order to transfer my Delta Sky Miles towards something more tangible (in this case, chill vibes). Here's hoping it pays off, for us both. milesklee.substack.com?r=xb94y&utm_...

It is official: I'm going to Spain for @filmadrid.bsky.social 🔥 🇪🇸 And while there I will be blogging about my experience for Bill Arceneaux's MoviegoingRocks film criticism substack!

Featured Contributor: The Hereafter Taste of Cherries This is my article about Cannes-winning film TASTE OF CHERRY, specifically about the notorious ending. www.moviegoing.rocks/p/tastecherr...

I just submitted "Murdergame", "What Does Space Sound Like?", and "Quantum McFly" to Adelio Ferrero Award - Video Essays via FilmFreeway.com!

This is my interpretation of the famous ending to Kiarostami's TASTE OF CHERRY. I saw it as a meeting of East & West, and it can be seen (and heard) as a confluence of cultures. youtu.be/uSbGCv67xwI

Ah yes, the “golden age.”

Just ordered Chantal Akerman's Masterpieces 1968-1978 box from Criterion. Any filmmaker who commits suicide is worth my time and $$.

My screening is happening in Gainesville, FL 💫

A cinephile’s dream 😻
