🎥 This is the first in a series of essays I started writing in 2024 that examine and reflect on every aspect of making, marketing and distributing an independent film in America at this critical and challenging moment. #filmsky open.substack.com/pub/amauteur...

Oh hey my new song is trending on Instagram! Check it out if you haven’t already!

New essay out now on AMAUTEUR about modern Shakespeare adaptations and the difference between accuracy and authenticity. Lmk what you think! open.substack.com/pub/amauteur...

Check out my new essay, “What Filmmakers Can Learn From Musicians”, on AMAUTEUR! open.substack.com/pub/adamkrit...

The most interesting movies are often made by folks who study something entirely unrelated to film for the first 30+ years of their lives, and the most boring movies are often the debut features of film school grads.

Go knicks!

Your hair is a mess Like Patti Smith or Billy Idol The rip in your dress: An accident so fashion-forward Lean on me I’ll lean on you We’ll hold each other up. Check out my new song and video! youtu.be/dM5FkHbjn_E?...

Freedom for Capital Not People charts the theoretical developments responsible for reshaping today's world economy, unleashing capital against democracy. Finally coming out in English, in June with @versobooks.bsky.social. Thanks @quinnslobodian.com

“Let’s commodify and profit off the impotence.” Woof.

The complete impotence of the democrats.

FINALLY the government is being run like a business -- namely, destroying people's lives and livelihoods through short-sighted groupthink.

Trump and his crew of fascists have officially weaponized the dept of education. The following is a list of words that are now banned from public-facing university material. Use these words in your research/course description and risk losing federal funding for things like grants and scholarships.

bond going full amazon...it's so over

Cannot remember the last time I received a relevant notification from Facebook.

One of the keys to a thriving film culture is the dismembering of Netflix. Before that can happen on a meaningful scale, we need to imagine and build realistic and sustainable alternative distribution ecosystems. Destruction is useless if not coupled with the construction of something better. 📽️

Sad how the entire cultural conversation gets flattened to two takes: it’s either “the most important performance ever” or “trash” and there is no in-between. Where is the nuance?

The revolution will be commodified.

Truth.

I am confident that Seth Rogen's new show will be toothless. Apple (and other streamers) will NEVER fund and distribute anything that meaningfully challenges their existence and their ways of doing business. www.indiewire.com/news/general...

Kendrick is genius but that halftime show had very little to say.

Have you listened to my new song yet? If not, you should! Take two minutes out of your day to simultaneously groove and support indie artists. too.fm/5kzq8vm

500 followers (ick what a terrible word) + a new song out now. What a day! too.fm/5kzq8vm

Hell yeah. www.worldofreel.com/blog/2025/2/...

And now for something completely different... My new song, Have Your Baby, is streaming NOW on Spotify and all the other places too. Take 2 minutes and check it out. It's a banger for the weekend! open.spotify.com/album/6Pqk0n...

Absolutely oppose the current administration’s dismantling of essential social programs and governmental departments. But the USAID is a stooge of the CIA and has done more harm than good around the world. Let’s not die on that hill. foreignpolicy.com/2014/04/03/c...

The algorithm that runs Facebook and the algorithm that selects Mark Zuckerberg’s daily outfit both seem to be malfunctioning.

Keep your eyes peeled for my new song, Have Your Baby, dropping this Friday. It’s a doozy!

2 films have been sold at Sundance, neither of which is in any way a discovery.

Apparently half of Hollywood is going to be in Christopher Nolan’s new film.

It’s pronounced Fronkensteen.

Hey @scenethatreviews.bsky.social (and #filmsky 📽️ too), Check out my first feature, GOOD FUNK, which was released in 2021. It's available to rent/buy on all platforms and is currently streaming on the Roku Channel. Hope ya dig it! therokuchannel.roku.com/details/771c...

Only one film has sold at Sundance so far. There are no buyers anymore for thought-provoking independent comedies and dramas. BUT THERE IS A MARKET FOR THESE FILMS. Self- and hybrid-distribution models are the only way to go. #filmsky 📽️ www.indiewire.com/news/festiva...

I don't usually buy it when a business says "we sell ________ but are actually a lifestyle brand." This is the first time I've actually bought it. poolsuite.net

Freaky in a bad way. www.digitalmusicnews.com/2025/01/24/d...

@mcuban.bsky.social I’ve been working on a new movie for the past five years about the liberal mother of a guy who was just appointed to a high-up position in the Trump administration. I need a few champions in my corner as I bring it into the world. Can we chat?

Misdirection is the name of the game. Don’t fall for it; stay vigilant and thoughtful.
