#BeyondFest XIII is coming to a close. And with it: 13 years of unforgettable cinema, surprises, inspiration, friendship, and solidarity. I’m so very proud to be such a small part of this circus. Here’s to 1300 more years of watching movies with LA’s finest weirdos, until the world stops turning…

Monday night with the Zombies and a room full of psychos. Last night’s anniversary screening of THE DEVIL’S REJECTS for #BeyondFest was a riot.

Still trying to process the profundity of last night’s surprise screening from @realgdt.bsky.social & Co. for #BeyondFest. FRANKENSTEIN is a wondrous thing to behold, full of horror, hope, whimsy, and despair. A magnificent triumph of collaborative art & humanist integrity. I was blown away.

#DustBunny from @bryanfuller.bsky.social & Co. is a remarkably exciting story for adults-of-all-ages in the Amblin tradition — equal measures of charming, thrilling, and hilarious. Run, don’t walk, to your local theater to see it on December 12.

Still reeling from yesterday’s Q&As with the legendary William Petersen for the #BeyondFest screenings of TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. and MANHUNTER.

The best advice he ever got from Billy Friedkin: “You have to be brave. You have to try harder than you think you should.”

After 13 years of #BeyondFest, I’ve never seen a movie elicit as many laughs alongside as many tears as #ButtholeSurfers: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT. This is truly a remarkable piece of documentary filmmaking, and a spirited love letter to a legendary cadre of timeless creators.

The Butthole Surfers just blew the fucking roof off the Egyptian for the #BeyondFest premiere of BUTTHOLE SURFERS: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT from Tom Stern & Co. An incredibly moving documentary, and a legendary night if ever there was one.
