So unbelievably proud to finally publish my 30th Anniversary piece on Lynne Stopkewich's 1996 film Kissed. Criminally underseen, I spoke with Lynne and others involved in the film to explore its origins, its reception at the time, and why it never found an audience. Via @filmhounds.co.uk

Kissed At Thirty - “We were trying to make a Disney film about necrophilia”

Quick rant - if you're in a press screening and you take your phone out multiple times, what are you even doing in the room?

My lovely friend Braelen just released a new video about writer's block, ambition, and fear of failure. It's a doozy and, painfully, far too relatable. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kO5...

Love how every year we get a "record high" forecast and folk are like "nice to get a bit of sun, eh?"
