❤️ im often thinking about this question and its siblings: who are we when we don’t worship st the altar of the internet!!! how do we return to ourselves 🌀🌀🌀

perhaps life is a series of returning to things that once blissfully occupied your time

Heavy on the “Don’t get stuck”

Reminding myself that as a storyteller, it’s ok to make mistakes or get in my head a little bit sometimes. So long as I keep moving forward.

Happy birthday to the GOAT Vince Gilligan! #BetterCallSaul #BreakingBad #Pluribus

Denzel did an amazing job playing, Easy in Devil In a Blue Dress. Don Cheadle was incredible as his unpredictable best friend, Mouse. Can’t wait to see who steps into the roles this time.

#BookSky So far, I’ve only read about half of the Easy Rawlins detective series by acclaimed author, Walter Mosley (Snowfall 📺 FX). I gotta see more of Easy’s cases in 70/80s Los Angeles onscreen. Hopefully we get the season 1 TV announcement soon. It’s time!

🎬 The film interview was a huge success, I’m so hyped. I hadn’t done a Zoom interview in so long and I didn’t realize how much I missed it. Stay tuned, I’ll be dropping the podcast here soon. The genre is: Screenwriting & Directing.

There are too many people in film circles who confuse "movie I didn't like" and "worst movie ever made". They really need to see more movies.

IN BRUGES was released 18 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great black comedies of the century and the film that kick started the McDonagh/Farrell/Gleeson triumvirate, the making of story is as beautiful as the city it’s set in… 1/34

Better Call Saul premiered 11 yrs ago today. #BetterCallSaul @petergould.bsky.social

Haven't watched any films in several days and I'm vowing to do better today.

I just woke up from either 2 separate dreams, or the same dream, just featuring 2 interesting people I was interviewing shout film. I don’t know who they are but I remember the talks were getting really good just as I woke up. I do have an interview today, so I’ll take the dream as a good omen 🎬 💭

A week ago today, I taught my first filmmaking (production assistant) webinar. A win 🙏🏾

I have the right to be thankful today

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’ve been thinking about my creative journey a lot recently & this really resonated.

Time for bed rest so my blood pressure comes down by Mondays appointment. We need $894.88 by end of business day on Monday the 9th, or they will be charging us an additional $76 fee to begin eviction. Thank you to everyone who has helped & shared. I appreciate y’all 💗 $34/$5500 $5,466 to go

Claims to not care about ⭐️ ratings anymore. Rates “super hero slop” 4 stars over “prestige” cinema logs 😅

#LetterboxdFriday In 2026, I’ve decided to watch more true to life dramas again, compared to genre stuff (scifi /fantasy). And yet again, I don’t care as much about giving out ⭐️ ratings. It’s going well. • Tortilla Soup • Jay Kelly • Magazine Dreams • The Worst Person In the World 🟠🟢🔵 boxd.it/pQvV
