This series has been one of my favorite projects ever. It continues to grow and evolve in ways I never could have predicted when I started it. Here’s the first chapter if you’d care to follow me down this particular rabbit hole.

Just saw a Soderbergh/Koepp collab a couple weeks ago (and it was one of my favorites of the year so far) so I’m happy to be back for another!

Still not done with SXSW just yet, but the reviews are piling up, so it's thread time! 🧵 Really enjoyed HALLOW ROAD, the latest by Under the Shadow director Babak Anvari. Begins as a lean thriller and slyly morphs into something else in a clever, thrilling way.

Apart from the information on the poster, I know practically nothing about this one. Always cool to be able to go into a movie that way.

Today’s trip to the movies. I’ve been looking forward to this one.

There goes the neighborhood. My first guest appearance on a podcast (and it probably sounds like it 😅) is now available. A big thanks goes out to @brianwaves42.bsky.social and the @podandthependulum.bsky.social crew for allowing me to be a part of this discussion. It was a lot of fun...and dark!

We watched FLOW last night and the more I sit with it the more I like it. It’s a beautiful little story about community, growth through adversity, and even transcendence. I think this one is really going to stick with me.
