The Emmys may be done for 2026, but the conversation about screen acting continues! Join me this Friday @1pm for a chat about what it means that "Method" acting is back in the news (again), and what speculative futures AI-ified performances may bring. Register here: tinyurl.com/46de74pk

I know why mainstream media is interested in Tilly Norwood but the public has basically moved on. The videos went from a million views to very little (the 50k one was when it said it was deactivating on April Fools; the 70k one only went viral because it combined the footage with Demi Moore).

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.
Marcia Lucas stands with George Lucas at an editing machine.
