Leaving The Gotham today for the last time holding my final issue of Filmmaker magazine. On newsstands now/soon, it’s a banger.

Super excited about this @metrographnyc.bsky.social event on Dec . 6 — short films from Filmmaker’s 2025 25 New Faces. I will be doing the Q&As in what will be my Filmmaker event swan song. Hope to see some of you there. metrograph.com/filmmaker-ma...

For my penultimate issue of Filmmaker, one of my favorite original cover shots yet. Thanks to photographer @isseygoold.bsky.social and filmmaker Mary Bronstein (“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.”

Great Q&A last night at @ifccenter.bsky.social with Jane Schoenbrun and Jen Cohen. Cohen’s “Little, Big and Far,” an @nytimes.com Critics Pick, runs all week.

Some news from the Filmmaker Magazine newsletter (which is that I’m stepping down after 33 years)!

I'm honored to be an EP on Jem Cohen's forthcoming feature "Little Big and Far" and also his short, "Ballad of Philip Guston," now on @criterionchannl.bsky.social. It's an atypical (for Jem) lyrical essay film with spoken v.o. about the great artist that delivers new insights and passions. Watch it!

Journal entry, 3/16/2021: "Strange dream last night in which David Lynch painted me a painting, and I brought it somewhere and then worried that I lost it. And then I stressed about whether accepting it was unethical as a journalist. But I really wanted that painting." R.I.P. David Lynch.

1980, my first wknd in NYC. Saw "Eraserhead" midnight at the New Yorker Twin. Strained laughter for 30 mins until people either left or sat in stunned silence. After, I walked home and stared into my dorm room radiator. It was as close to a conversion experience as I've had. RIP David Lynch.

Remembering Richard Foreman today — his inspiring and disorienting plays I’d see with Robin (who was a huge fan) as well as his performance in the opening day of New Ice Nights, my first official act of curation at the reopening of The Kitchen in their new Chelsea digs.

I recently picked up this new issue of New Worlds for this piece, which I haven’t read yet.

2024 reading report: failed in # of books, although, to be fair, I took three BISR courses and all the material read for those are not included here. And one book was very long (although another was very short). Still, ended by finishing a white whale that has sat on my bookshelf for 25 yrs.

Love this piece by Alex Lei -- talking to designer Sebastian Pardo about his amazing title design work on Brady Corbet's "The Brutalist." filmmakermagazine.com/128169-inter...

40 years after its premiere, nice to see Tom Noonan’s “What Happened Was…”, the first film Robin and I produced, still getting some ink in the New York Times.

Not hard to make it into some kind of Apple Music Replay leaderboard, it turns out.

Whether I feel differently after finishing the book or not, I'm sure I won't argue with this apt conclusion.

Very sorry not to be in town for this celebration/free screening of Tom Noonan’s great film, I say immodestly (since Robin O’Hara and I produced it). But star Karen Sillas will be there. Please consider supporting the work of Tom’s Paradise Theater at the QR code. www.eventbrite.com/e/celebrate-...

Friends at IDFA, a strong recommendation for Irish filmmaker and artist Myrid Carten's debut feature, "A Want in Her," a bracing, personal doc that builds its own visual language to interrogate questions around filial care, the responsibilities of an artist, and social safety nets (or lack thereof).

"The Gaetz family owns the house in Florida where 'The Truman Show' was shot and went on vacation there when Matt was young; perhaps that’s where he learned all about what it means to be perceived on television by a lot of people who don’t know you." (via Politico, www.politico.com/news/magazin...)
