VIDEO PALACE was the first narrative podcast from SHUDDER. I co-wrote this horror/mystery audio show with @benrock.com (who also directed) and it was truly one of the best creative experiences I've ever had in this town. Perfect listening for scary season! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...

As I am fond of pointing out, literally none of these characters ever interact in the movie. Closest is Neve going up to the door of the film class that SMG is in.

An old friend from high school asked me what was my favorite thing I'd ever directed. Hard to pick, but this is it. Funny thing is that it was also the single most tortured production I've ever directed. An uphill battle every day (the best cast and designers tho).

The exec we're working with encouraged us to try and "one up" each other in thinking up scary ideas. Here's @benrock.com bringing his A-game.

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

A Monty Python quote that’s stuck in your head forever:

“Is your name not Bruce?”

“No, it’s Michael.”

“That’s going to cause a bit of confusion, mind if we call you ‘Bruce’ just to keep things clear?”
