In all seriousness she’s so good at this it rocks to watch it all Go Down
You’d think being with the filmmaker would guarantee at least Exec Producer but all I could swing was PA…
Welcome II the Terrordome (Ngozi Onwurah, 1994): The first independent feature film to be made by a Black British woman is finally getting a restoration and being released at the end of the month. An astonishing work.
NYC: I'll be moderating a Q&A with legendary No Wave icon Beth B this Wednesday at 7 pm after a screening of her stunner of a new film, Glowing, at The Roxy. Joining us will be composer/cinematographer Jim Coleman, as well as the film's subjects, Rose Tang and Robert O. Leaver. Come out!
An all time great freak. What an actor. Tremendously sad 💔
Rex: A Dinosaur's Story was the best experience I’ve had in a theater all year. Also, may have been its first screening in the US ever??
Had a lovely time moderating a great discussion with writer/director Georgia Bernstein and stars Cemre Paksoy and Bruce McKenzie for the great film, Night Nurse. One of my big surprises of the year. Go see it!
This shit is so surreal to me lol anyhow if you wanna hear me talk about the Great Fred Ward, go out and grab this
Went to a party that had these playing on TVs simultaneously yesterday. All I could ask for really
Stumbled upon a sick find at the record store today happy 4th
Really good insight from him on working within tight budgets

Favorite watches of June: Boys in the Band (William Friedkin, 1970) Full Contact (Ringo Lam, 1992) Drinking and Driving (Avalon Fast & Jillian Frank, 2026) Ponderosa (Rob Rice, 2026)
Attended the first-ever Produce Wrestling show last night, which included, incredibly, a live musical performance by Abel Ferrara. Here’s a pic someone sent that they snapped of me at ringside marking out with Abel
Was also so shocked to see Night of the Juggler’s Cliff Gorman in just an *entirely* different role
Saw the restoration of Friedkin’s Boys in the Band tonight, one of the few of his early period I hadn’t seen. What a masterpiece. The blocking from moment to moment is just so astonishing. The “Game” is as riveting as anything in Sorcerer. Beautiful film.
Related, if you're in NYC tomorrow, I'm talking to Mark after a screening of Rose of Nevada at Film at Lincoln
