The neighbours cat has proper passed out in ours the last 2 nights in an intense way and it’s just the sweetest thing. Very unexpected given he’s an outdoor cat. I suspect they might be packing since they move soon and he may be picking up on it and anxious. Gonna miss that fluffball so much.

can't believe we're really getting the taxation of trade routes being in dispute *and* a blockade of deadly battleships

Endless cycle

I like how wikipedia uses the infobox for cars here

Really great read. A sidenote is there was a bootleg of Traces of Death (FoD knockoff series) for sale in a little family shop in Lithuania, right beside bootlegs of kids films. I always regret not picking it up, just for the sheer novelty of a bootleg of such a film in a Lithuanian cornershop.

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

This lil guy is continuing his worldwide butt tour by showing off his rear to folks in the US when I’m on video calls. We don’t even have a cat!!!?!

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

It’s never not going to get my back up that so many streaming apps glitch and crash a lot, but it’s always AFTER the ads play perfectly, and need to be replayed after you reload to retry watching the video. Then you repeat ad nauseum…

The Behind The Scenes Feature on THE FRIGHTENERS is a pre-cursor to the game-changing BTS on Lord of the Rings. It's 3hrs long and there's a lot less editorialising; so, often, you're just watching Peter Jackson direct a movie. Highly recommend.

I don’t think The Frighteners gets nearly as much attention as it deserves. Top tier kooky fun.

In half an hour, the trailer for DISTORT 2: THE DEAD AMONG THE TREES will drop heeeeere: youtu.be/1qVY8Mhd-24 😱💀😱📽️😱

Even the most basic recording methods these days are far better quality than lofi recordings of the likes of Lou Barlow in the 80s. The way I'm recreating that vibe? An unplugged electric guitar recorded directly via voice memo in a room with wooden floors.

Are episodes 1, 2, and 4 of Creep Tapes season 1 missing for others? Or is it the Shudder app glitching on me?

I'm not too sure who will actually care, but as a post production nerd, I'm kinda psyched to share some of the madness I've gone through to manage this film and its multiformat madness once it's out there. There's been a huge amount of insanity to make it all come together!

Sinister Cinema Reviews placing Distort 2: The Dead Among the Trees as one of their top recommendations of @unnamedfootage.bsky.social is too awesome! Just a few short weeks till May 1st when everyone can see my madness in video form on @watchfoundtv.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zJr...

I can't believe its already been a week since the world premiere of Distort: The Dead Among the Trees at @unnamedfootage.bsky.social. I'm actually dying of the flu, so even though I couldn't physically attend the fest, I am keeping in the spirit of it by suffering the post-fest blues 🤒

I’m ill so really should be in bed getting as much sleep as I can, but of course that can easily be misinterpreted as “stay up till 3am watching Horror in the High Desert films” 🙃

Beware those who want your retention, not your attention.

We had TWO couches to give away when we moved into our place, and this post really does summarise the whole mentality of people getting free things online. Not to mention all the no-shows and people who say they’ll take it the second you post so they can suss out if they can resell it for profit.

There’s warmth in the sun and everywhere smells of freshly cut grass. Could winter be over?!

Welp, the inevitable happened; I’ve caught whatever has floored my wife. Hopefully the flu jab will keep it all to a minimum, but I’m definitely feeling I’m not long away from greatly appreciating unblocked sinuses.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1842

Hell yeah it is 🤘

QTP with a movie from the year you were born 🎥

On that 'note' (wakka wakka), I've stumbled across a temp score I did for a film before the actual composer stepped in. It's only like 10ish mins but makes for an interesting little musical sojourn.

I'm sure other musically inclined folks on here can relate, but every now and again I stumble across folders on my computer with music demos labelled with just the date and lemme tell you, no one is as shocked as I am at what noises I have made in them.

A.B.C. Always. Be. Creating.

21 years. Oh Jesus. Oh god… *turns to dust*

I grew up with black cats and co-sign just how amazing they are.

Gift subs on twitch may be one of the last nice things that can happen in this digital world.

Getting to put good folks on the big screen brings me joy! 😍

HORROR PODCAST FRIENDS!!! My new horror Distort 2: The Dead Among the Trees made its debut at @unnamedfootage.bsky.social yesterday, and will be public on @watchfoundtv.bsky.social from May 1st. Does anyone have space to chat with a talkative Irish indie filmmaker ahead of its release??

Last night I had an absolutely horrifying dream that groups of Ponyta, from Pokémon, were rabid and biting people, and everyone they bit grotesquely and painfully transformed into more rabid Ponyta looking to bite others. Dear childhood, why?

The new film is literally kicking off as I type. Man, I’d love to be a fly on the wall at @unnamedfootage.bsky.social !! In case it wasn’t clear, they have set a high bar for film festivals. I hope everyone enjoys Distort 2: The Dead Among The Trees!

It’s the eve before our new film premiered at @unnamedfootage.bsky.social (you’ve no clue how much I wish I could be there) and some reviews are trickling in. EVERY time with a film, you don’t know if it’ll connect with people, and lemme tell you, the overwhelming relief when it does is unreal.

I feel like I’ve been very lucky in the JK discourse because I’m seeing NO support for her, only people saying how easy it is not to support bad people. Small blessings.

You're mad at movie theater previews for going on too long. I'm grateful for them going long because I'm always kinda late to get to movies on time. We are not the same.

“Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts.” youtu.be/w8HdOHrc3OQ?...

A true work of art

Such a banger of a film. I feel like it was mentioned plenty in the early 00s, but seems to have fallen off the radar with folks in the last decade or so

Just a few short days from the WORLD PREMIERE of our latest horror flick DISTORT 2: THE DEAD AMONG THE TREES at the great @unnamedfootage.bsky.social on Friday at noon (part of an IMMENSE lineup that day). You don’t need to have seen the first, but you can catch it on @watchfoundtv.bsky.social

Legitimately the era of ‘democratised’ music, where unsigned bands could actually reach out and connect with real life people. No algorithm throttling engagement. No pay walls. No tiers. Just people with dreams trying to connect with those wanting new sounds. The dream.

@letterboxd.social my new wee indie film premieres next week but I can’t seem to get its TMDb page to send to Letterboxd. If folks can’t log it, does it even exist?! Please take mercy and help me 🙏 www.themoviedb.org/movie/164973...

I miss that potential and optimism that we used to have back then.

San Francisco, something scary is coming for you… Come to the Distort 2: The Dead Among the Trees world premiere on Friday March 27th at noon as part of the incredible lineup at @unnamedfootage.bsky.social filmfreeway.com/UnnamedFoota...

And breathe…

As I have a mini nervous breakdown getting the new film screening ready after working till 3am both days this weekend, I saw someone describing the first Distort in a FB found footage fans group and how they remembered it and wanted to rewatch it. That's the kinda motivation I needed today!

DaVinci's tracking and magical disappearing act of said tracking is really breaking my heart these past few days.
