THE FEATHERWEIGHT is now streaming exclusively on MUBI.

"A knockout of a biopic. ... With stunning attention to period details, The Featherweight probes the public image and the private turmoil of a fading boxing star."
A still from The Featherweight on Mubi's page with James Madio as Willie Pep in the boxing ring.

T​o all my stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere: The Perseid meteor shower will be active from tonight to Aug 2​4, ​as the Earth passes through the dust trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle. May your ​summer skies at night be as sparkly as my eyes, and in the day as big and blue as my pants.
A scene from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, season 2, episode 6, set in 1959. Stargazers are on blankets on a summer resort lawn at night. I am in the foreground at a podium and next to a telescope as astronomer Dr. Fleischer in a fluffy yellow cardigan, bow tie, and blue pants. Another view of the same scene with Rachel Brosnahan in the foreground sitting on a blanket. I am in the background stooping with an eye to the telescope.

What kind of omen is it to see two mourning doves doing it among the geraniums in your window box? Asking for a friend.

LA friends:
Come see me in the world premiere of THE OBELISK at Dances With Films. It's a beautifully told gut-punch about misinformation, manipulation, and the consequences of seeing only what we want.

THE FEATHERWEIGHT — a Best Film nominee for the Venice Horizons Award and one of The New Yorker's Best Movies of 2024 — is now streaming on Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, and more!
A still of David Lavine (me) as Karl Rierson in The Featherweight, with the Venice Film Festival lion logo and pull quotes from The New Yorker (One of the Best Movies of 2024 / "A marvel of historical re-creation"), Screen Daily ("An extraordinary achievement.") and Variety (“A meticulously designed, gutsily played biopic … the film is convincingly fashioned as a candid all-access documentary, a promotional puff piece curdling before our eyes into an unintended study of mental breakdown.”)

On National Teachers' Day, when we celebrate those who have guided us toward knowledge and enlightenment, we remember Mr. Enkle, seen here in Felix Thompson's 2010 gem BEDFORD PARK BOULEVARD, ​who wasn't such a great guide toward knowledge and enlightenment, and for whom​ the day didn't end so well.
A still from Felix Thompson's film BEDFORD PARK BOULEVARD. Mr. Enkle (David Lavine) holds a red baseball cap belonging to either Byron (Joshua Rivera) or Ray (Melvin Mogoli, off screen), scolding them for horsing around in the school cafeteria.

SNAKEEATER, a neo-noir thriller I worked on back in 2018, is now getting its due as a New York Times pick.

Screenshot of The New York Times article "Five Horror Movies to Stream Now" with a SNAKEEATER graphic. Me as Milos the medical examiner in a dark morgue office lit only by an old computer monitor, wearing a scrub top and cap.

Join me and over 50 local artists and galleries for a rare peek into process and inspiration. Tribeca Spaces has two buildings of art studios across the street from one another at 368 and 373 Broadway in the heart of TriBeCa's thriving art district.

Seascape (Heart)
hand-cut paper collage
5" x 5"
Two blue pieces of paper resemble sky and sea, one relatively solid, the other an image of wallpaper, the border between them the white torn edge of the latter. A cutout of an illustrated heart with blue and red chambers descends into this slightly jagged line, looking like it's plunging into the sea.
