When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'

David A. Ross, chair of the MFA art practice program at SVA, has resigned following the latest release of Epstein files. Emails reveal that the two discussed an exhibition about “girls and boys ages 14–25,” which Epstein suggested titling “Statutory.”

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID. He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind. Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

I’m shooting a new film called Cat and Mouse with the support of an Artists Projects grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council. I’m working with local artists both on camera and behind the scenes to make this surreal film come to life. Here’s a sneak peak at some footage I shot with Kate Shannon.

I just saw an ad for A Man On The Inside: apparently Ted Danson is trying to catch a jewel thief — who stole Carlotta Valdez’s necklace from Vertigo. I’d recognize that necklace anywhere.
