If you’ve never seen Wild At Heart by #DavidLynch - now’s the time to see Ladd’s stellar performance.
You can rent it @ Apple, YouTube or Fandango.
Of course, her real life daughter Laura Dern is excellent too + it’s a crazy script - I really love this wild film - see it!

Was floored @ #AFIFEST by #SongSungBlue !
Craig Brewer made a fantastically entertaining film & his script for this ‘life is stranger than fiction’ tale was tight & well crafted.
On its surface, it’s a happy-go-lucky Neil Diamond Impersonator musical - but there’s more! *Go In Cold* - it rocks!

Wildly #GusVanSant says @ #AFIFEST Austin Kolodney’s Dead Man’s Wire script had YouTube links to 911 calls + other vids - which he liked.
He loves a challenge, was asked in Sept to direct a film shot in Jan & leapt @ the challenge to shoot a low budget film on a 20 day schedule!

Now @ #AFIFEST #GusVanSant takes the stage for a Q&A after his new film Dead Man’s Wire.
It’s a fantastic return to form for the director.
It’s a stylish, well paced real life crime film about a man taking revenge on the mortgage company who screwed him over.
Def go see it!

Two Prosecutors @ #AFIFEST was effectively disturbing.
This Kafkaesque tale of a man lost in an evil bureaucracy is from a story by a dissident imprisoned for 20 years.
Depicting Stalin’s Purge of 1937, this is def a fascist period to be aware of as we slide closer toward political imprisonment.

Writer-director François Ozon delivers a near perfect adaptation of Albert Camus’ classic on the page & onscreen with DP Manu Dacosse.

Loved Good Boy @ Beyond Fest!
It’s that vibe of what your pet sees in the darkness @ night & it’s def creepy - all from the dog- Indy’s perspective!
Filmed on 400 days over 3 years since Indy can only film a few hours a day - it’s got a unique look with a Twilight Zone-styled tale - see it!
