Ok, time to melt your brain. This Friday, a long-gap sequel to a SUNDANCE GRAND JURY PRIZE WINNER is being released. It stars an era defining actor of the 1990s, and the closest comparison I can think of that reflects its unique meta dimension is TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN.
Spotting a young @peterkapow.bsky.social & other pals. I think I met 90% of my current friend circle at these screenings. The movies are indeed the best.

Many years ago, me and @peterkapow.bsky.social, used to host screenings of The Laser Blast Film Society @ The Royal Cinema, and amazing artists did amazing poster art for the events. Here is a thread of some of those posters:
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.

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-...
In Memoriam: Actor, Martial Artist And Director Dennis Ruel - Film Combat Syndicate
The actor and martial artist was best known as a boon to the indie action community with credits like "Contour," "Barrio Brawler," and his own feature directing debut, "Unlucky Stars".

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