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

Notes From the Underground

Del Toro really inhabits his character, and he’s wonderful. But Oscars tend to reward actors who do more in the way of acting, which is why I think Sean Penn’s uncharacteristic turn is still going to win.

And now the actor who brought Mr. Badii to life has died. RIP Homayoun Ershadi 💔 Did his character survive TASTE OF CHERRY? I made this in tribute to his dilemma: ABSURD HEAVEN: The Ending of 'Taste of Cherry' youtu.be/uSbGCv67xwI

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).

“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.

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.
