I've largely given up interviewing but made an exception for cutie Mickey Reece, who is a total sweetheart and also the living embodiment of truly independent genre filmmaking. At Film International, we talk about his career as the 'Soderbergh of the Sticks' and his latest film EVERY HEAVY THING 🖤

This edit @peterkapow.bsky.social made is so funny. TURN ON THE SOUND:

I had never seen anything quite like THE FURIOUS before. Unrelenting, generous, precise, virtuoso. Accutely aware of the genre's past while forging a way forward. Some action design ideas are pretty unique.

CTRL-V! Catch the wild hour in person at The Royal Cinema in Toronto, or online TONIGHT. Midnight Dankness is nigh!

Funky Forest screens tomorrow, Sep 3rd in Toronto as part of @peterkapow.bsky.social's Midnight Darkness, pre-TIFF warmup event! www.universe.com/events/midni...

My bud @peterkapow.bsky.social was too tired to do dankness this year... but circumstances gave him the resolve to do it to support the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund and Islamic Relief Canada. AND he's showing the latest Motern film EVIL PUDDLE! LET'S FUCKING GOOO universe.com/dankness2025

🤯

The martial arts movie I cut is headed for TIFF Midnight Madness!

Huge congrats to @peterkapow.bsky.social and all of the filmmakers on another amazing Midnight Madness program! variety.com/2025/film/ne...

ISHTAR (1987) is not Midnight Movie #1 it is sneaking around is dangerous business.

Just announced: The #TIFF50 Discovery programme, presented by Air France, shining a spotlight on emerging global talent including John Early, Nadia Latif, Zamo Mkhwanazi, Taratoa Stappard, TIFF Talent alum Eva Thomas (Filmmaker Lab ‘23), and more. tiff.net/press/news/t...

TIFF just dropped the Discovery lineup and I gotta shout out EGGHEAD REPUBLIC, THE MAN IN THE BASEMENT and MAGGIE’s SECRET as honorary Midnight Madness titles within the section! #tiff50

Zuck: The average American has three friends

proposition: bring back trailer voice-overs

the speed racer episode is out now on youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwh9...

No one walked out of tonight’s National Canadian Film Day screening of Space Breakers - this suggests we have evolved as a species.

A legend and monumental action artist has left us far too soon. Rest well Dennis Ruel - it was a privilege to host you and celebrate your incredible work in the award-winning THE MAN WHO FEELS NO PAIN at TIFF 2018 filmcombatsyndicate.com/in-memoriam-...

Mandy Patinkin’s laugh in Dick Tracy is nuts. Rare moment where attention is pulled from Al’s Big Boy.

I get to hang with @bitchinville.bsky.social, Grady, and @peterkapow.bsky.social once a year during @overlookfilmfest.bsky.social, and I wish we all got to do it more often.

Ry Barrett rules. #thelastdrivein

Pierce Derks was the DOP for this flick. Just feel like that needs to be acknowledged. #thelastdrivein

Pinch me. Joe Bob Briggs did a parody of In A Violent Nature to promote its airing on The Last Drive-In. This feels like the contemporary equivalent (for a horror filmmaker) of getting a MAD Magazine cover…

Wonderful to wake up and see the resourceful and meticulous efforts of our sound teams for In A Violent Nature be recognized with nominations for the Canadian Screen Awards!!

One nice thing about having a @tiffnet.bsky.social membership is I'll get to watch SCREAMERS on 35mm for free next month in a room full of Midnight Madness genre fans with an intro by @peterkapow.bsky.social and Liane Cunje. I didn't know it was filmed in Canada either. www.tiff.net/events/screa...

The standing ovation for NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE is going to become a core SXSW memory. Helluva screening. Can't wait for more people to see this movie. It's so good it should be illegal.

RIP Clarence Fok, a king of Hong Kong Category III sleaze-fests if only for NAKED KILLER and the equally formative REMAINS OF A WOMAN. Fok's fimography is full of great titles like THE HUNTRESS: HER NAME IS CAT, DON'T YOU LOOK BACK OR YOU'LL BE SORRY, and ON FIRE. CHEAP KILLERS also p wild!

Smells like a Zombie… official music video for the headline single from THE GESUIDOUZ! youtu.be/DgitR2Ot3I8

Hyped to see this again. Rocked my hat off when I went in blind last year on a spontaneous whim. Felt like the musical equivalent of Raising Arizona. I’ll be back for the first preview.

It was cool to be included in a tribute to Scream Queens at the @sagawards.bsky.social with other legends and Jamie Lee Curtis.

He was right. Go make your movie. The one ur afraid to make. The one no one is ever going to give you permission to make. The one you know in your gut you can and SHOULD make. If you need a greenlight, here it is. Look to your left and your right - ask those friends to make a movie with you. do it

How I have been introducing myself to people since seeing Operation Mincemeat

I wanna present award so I can take a cue from Dunkacino and say “my eye see <winner>”

Off-site event at RUBA Club this Friday night featuring the Spotify-gaming modern novelty marvel Matt Farley aka The Very Nice Interesting Singer Man aka The Guy Who Sings Songs About Cities & Towns aka The Toilet Bowl Cleaners! Tickets here: link.dice.fm/jf723f348619

Can’t stop humming Making A Man, I may need to see this again.

Just saw OPERATION MINCEMEAT and it’s wild that there are TWO musicals this Broadway season that are about a celebrity corpse, and they’re both gosh darn delightful.

Hell yes! THE GESUIDOUZ soundtrack is finally coming out. Their first hit single, TEXSA CHAINSAW GA MASSACRE, just dropped. open.spotify.com/artist/0p08X...

Don’t sleep on Plainclothes - ending bowled me over. #sundance2025

I finally got a copy of my comics! Get yours now too! Available at the finest Amazon near you!

Dead Lover had me in tears from laughter. A brilliantly horny carnivalesque romp of bodily fluids and German expression. Hail Grace Glowicki!!
