And while you're at it, get tickets for some of the Motern films that will follow that screening - we have a triple feature, all with Q&As and/or intros from the Motern folks. It'll be a blast www.spectacletheater.com/son-of-moter...

For @documentary.org, I spoke with Rebecca Miller about her big ol' five-part look at everyone's favorite short king filmmaker

“The Art Creates the Man”: Rebecca Miller on Documenting Martin Scorsese’s Life and Work in ‘Mr. Scorsese’

In this interview, Rebecca Miller discusses how radical listening shaped her five-part series Mr. Scorsese, from tracking down childhood gangsters to employing splitscreens

The end is in sight for my time at NYFF this year, got some more coverage. First, for @reverseshot.bsky.social, I reviewed Scarlet. Big fan of Mamoru Hosoda so this one let me down

Scarlet

Hamlet is invoked as a familiar revenge-plot classic, but that premise is mere window dressing. The characters from the play bear little resemblance to how they are written in it here, and are mostly ...

Delighted that a long-brewing project at @reverseshot.bsky.social that I've been a part of has finally come to fruition: a weeklong symposium on the games of That Guy Himself. I'll be bringing it home on Friday, but for now, here's Cole Kronman on Kojima's early work reverseshot.org/features/336...

Kaleb Horton was one of the writers whose qualities I was consistently chasing (and usually feeling like I failed to match) in my own work. Got to have a lovely lunch with him just once, right before I left LA. An extraordinary loss.

I don’t have much to add that hasn’t already been said by people closer to him but he captured the California that *I know and grew up with*, the desperation and beauty of the Central Valley, the dark corners and the bright lights- talented beyond belief and gone far too soon

Jesse Hawken @jessehawken.bsky.social · 14d

Shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Kaleb Horton, a mutual of mine both here and there, a fine, observant writer and photographer, and it feels very unfair that he’s gone. My condolences to all who loved him.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

ME: A lot of people have, so
CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement?
ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess
CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get?

For @filmmakermagazine.com.web.brid.gy's Gotham Pages, I surveyed the landscape of AI tools on hand for filmmakers and tried to suss what, if any, Actual Uses there are to be had for them filmmakermagazine.com/131861-the-g...

The Gotham Pages: AI and the Usefulness Question

Amid the perpetual torrent of news about rising investment in artificial intelligence tools within the entertainment industry, one recent item garnered particular attention online.
