The second feature film I worked on after college was Green Card Fever (2001). I still remember the Village Voice review: “the people responsible for making this film should have their artistic licenses revoked.” 😂

It's remarkable how low COVID deaths have fallen in the last year. The 2024 summer wave peaked at 1,358 deaths per week; the 2025 summer wave peaked at 466 deaths per week.

“I’ve often said this and I don’t think I’m exaggerating too much: America may be the only country that hates art. Money is the only thing that’s considered a healthy habit. Art is considered neurotic, or it just shows that you have problems, whereas having money is somehow seen as totally healthy.”
In Dreams: An Interview With Jonathan Rosenbaum
Frank Falisi talks with film writer Jonathan Rosenbaum about putting our selves in criticism and reclaiming art and pleasure for all people.

so, be kind to yourself, but also remember - if you’re frustrated by your own personal productivity? the key to productivity is “a little bit each day.” that’s doable! missing a day or two because of Life - that happens! just hit it again tomorrow.
do that for three months and you’ll have a book.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
