Ahh yes, the classic question: Horror or thriller? We ask this as we watch THE COUCH (1962) from director Owen Crump! The film stars Grant Williams, Shirley Knight, and Onslow Stevens, with a screenplay by PSYCHO author Robert Bloch. This one's for you, @thekylemarshall.bsky.social!

Annual update to my Letterboxd favourites. In order it’s my favourite from last year, a black and white movie, a comedy, and an animated film.

The last film that I wrote and was produced this year was AFFIRMATION. A horror story about a father who blames his daughter for all the evil in the world. Shot in black and white beautifully by Dante Costello. Watch here: youtu.be/loNHm5W9MqE And if you’re a Letterboxd user you can log it.

The 2nd film I wrote was a dramatic monologue performed by a drag queen. Directed by the wonderful Andrew G Cooper and starring the great Ethan Taylor it captures the ethereal nature of being lost in thought For a short time watch here: youtu.be/Vqvot52B_EI (You can log this on Letterboxd too.)

Earlier this year I wrote 3 short films that got made. THE ICK was the one I directed. Yes loosely based on a bad first date but more based on my interest in the way we act online versus real life. Watch here: youtu.be/eRZmdQP8dC0 (And you can log it on Letterboxd if you’re that kind of freak.)

Often my favourite moments from TV shows come from “filler” episodes

David Lynch is a silly goose

Having watched the entirety of Twin Peaks (including the missing scenes!) over the past two months has left me both drained and creatively inspired. Any other show/movie done that for you? #davidlynch #twinpeaks

What are the most memorable new films you’ve seen this year?

Shocked at how much I loved Wicked considering how the marketing for it made it look like garbage.

Off to the theatre. I wonder what to see…
