Excellent film. Highly recommend seeing this on 35mm if you’ve got the chance (or any other way, for that matter). Once you have, give a listen to our conversation about it w/ Deke from Sidetrackd16 that we recorded about a year ago: directory.libsyn.com/episode/inde...

We are all hurdling toward a finish line that doesn’t exist for a prize we were never meant to win in a race that’s been rigged from the start. But at least you might get the chance to dance with Jane Fonda while doing it. Our episode on They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? drops tomorrow.

Bluesky cuties, consider this a good old fashioned call-out for work! I've landed safely thanks to your support, but financially things are still a little struggletown. This thread is really to remind commissioning type folks, producers and editors of the kind of work I do. Signal boosts welcome! 🧵

The paranoia of THE CONVERSATION was built in the edit by sound designer Walter Murch. He layered, muffled and slowly clarified a single secretly taped conversation across the film, letting us mishear it exactly as the surveillance man does. Follow us for more.
