i’m taking on a new personal project this month. i’ve just collected a large collection of 35mm film negatives of black american life in the 1970s and 1980s and am going to begin digitizing them into an archive of their own.
i’ll write about my progress here.
I spoke to Akiva Schaffer about directing THE NAKED GUN. Topics include: getting the BEVERLY HILLS COP II-esque look right, focus testing comedies, and using SUPERMAN’s stunt coordinator for a key scene. Good talk. Check it out! filmmakermagazine.com/131443-inter...

If someone is looking for a writer who has seen 25+ of these films (I think I'm at 28/34 here) and can write 10,000 words about Freddy without saying the word "institution", feel free to hit me up.
I even have a good, specific angle in on Why Wiseman Matters More Now Than Ever.
Doing an intro post on here/sharing work I've done from this year.
Outside of spending too much time online, I'm also a freelance writer and film programmer. I have a Substack where I track distribution statuses of titles at major festivals + do reviews and interviews acquiredcinema.substack.com
It's not satire but investing any amount of time in pathologizing Oscar voters is chasing windmills
