David Lynch: "Barry Gifford is a killer f**kin' writer...ROY'S WORLD captures his childhood and that time in Chicago, and many other places. I really enjoyed watching it and then contemplating what goes on inside a person with this history." My film is streaming! letterboxd.com/film/roys-wo...

I just paid a visit to Barry Gifford, who turned 79 yesterday! The guy has two books ready to publish and a couple screenplay ideas. We should all stay so young!

Chicago is this country’s anti-fascist center. The Trump regime will do all it can to subdue our city and to coerce submission. But they won’t get it.

This is the story of the part-time assistant job that became a 15-year friendship—and a lesson in love. Read my Vogue debut on what would’ve been Angie’s 100th birthday.

Medusa, the Gorgon as portrayed in the movie. If you catch her gaze you will be turned to stone. See below for an earlier iteration which no doubt served as something of an influence on this awesome movie.
