went to the world premiere of Never Get Busted @danceswithfilms.bsky.social. it's about a narcotics officer who quit the force and then started busting crooked cops and teaching folks how to hide their weed. check it out if you understand how broken the American justice system is.

Another year at @danceswithfilms.bsky.social This time with a fantastic documentary.

UNFAITHFUL! is a #shortfilm that harkens back to the cingeworthy #RealityTV of the 00s... totally fun but the satire merely simmers. READ the full #FilmFestival #moviereview @ Joe's @danceswithfilms.bsky.social #moviesky readatjoes.org/2025/06/24/d...

Thoughts on MOONWATER which is playing at @danceswithfilms.bsky.social New York www.unseenfilms.net/2024/12/moon...

ITCH at @danceswithfilms.bsky.social New York is a small gem entry in the "zombie" genre about a disease that turns people into blood thirst maniacs. It focuses on a father & daughter who stay inside a small city department store. See it www.unseenfilms.net/2024/12/itch...

My friend Victoria Kupchinetsky’s film CALICO REBELLION premiered yesterday at Dances With Film Fest in NYC. An immigrant’s look at a very American story - the town that shot the sheriff. Parallels with events today gave me chills. Recommend! @danceswithfilms.bsky.social

LOLA DUST at @danceswithfilms.bsky.social New York is a warning of the AI world we live in where political forces drop an unsuspecting woman into a political scandal when footage she thought was a short is used to topple a government www.unseenfilms.net/2024/12/lola...
