Hi all, Reaching out because the job hunt has been terrible and I am feeling very discouraged. If anyone has leads for writing gigs or any remote work or things in the NYC area I would be so so very grateful.

This does not surprise me - I'm done pre-ordering anything from them since I've got two big batches of pre-orders I placed at @orbitdvd.bsky.social that stupidly included a TerrorVision title that've been sitting in limbo for months cuz TV can't get their shit together. Spend your money elsewhere

All I've heard about them behind the scenes for the past year or so is that nobody gets paid and nobody gets sent contributor copies. So yeah, not great.

Few of you asked what company I was talking about the other day re: not paying contributors/not sending contributor copies/having emails ignored. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that was an isolated incident!

Hate to call out a distribution company but I would really think twice about supporting Terror Vision. It’s been over a year since I wrote an essay for their release of Patchwork and I still have not been paid.

I was absolutely staggered by THE CREMATOR, which is as damning a portrayal of masculinity ("masculinity") as I've ever seen on film. So after she talked about it on the podcast, we asked @theneonbanshee.bsky.social to also write an essay about the film.

Freelancing in this field - writing about movies at all - is a tough racket. No one’s getting rich and most folks are struggling. If you’re hiring them, that should be your starting point. No need to make their lives harder. Anyway, excited to have Sharai make her Fango print debut this winter 🖤❄️

The Satō Vol. 1 boxset from @vinsyn.bsky.social has arrived and is - as expected - an absolute beauty. Feels surreal to be holding such a high quality release of some of his earliest films, and I’m so glad I am alive to witness such a renaissance. Keep your pervert eyes peeled for Vol. 2… 👀💕
