Congratulations to the 16 Virginia Film Festival selections nominated for Film Independent Spirit Awards!
Nice to see recognition for these tremendous but too oft-forgotten-about films (at least in terms of the mainstream awards conversation). Pumped for Peter Hujar's Day, Brittany Shyne/Seeds, and Neo Sora/Happyend especially...and absolutely love the Poorna Jagannathan nom too.
Endearing is the perfect word (as are many in the review itself) - both for Fraser and HIKARI! Great article. Fun to read and really captures the director's personality as well as her vision.
Fascinating conversation w/a brilliant cinematographer. THE SECRET AGENT is incredible in many ways (Directing, Writing, Acting, etc...) but the visual composition and originality of its photography are an essential component of its success. Thank you for giving Evgenia's work its due!
Congratulations to the 2025 #VAFilmFest selections recognized by the Gotham Film Awards!
