I’m sitting at an outdoor restaurant, alone, listening to live jazz and waiting for my food. And I am stressed to the point my eyes are watering. I just want to live in a country that aligns with my values. I don’t want to live in fear that my government wants to destroy anyone who dissents.

Does anyone have recommendations for grant money allotted for videographic film criticism? My new work is in virtual reality and I need help with costs of equipment rental…

Del Toro really inhabits his character, and he’s wonderful. But Oscars tend to reward actors who do more in the way of acting, which is why I think Sean Penn’s uncharacteristic turn is still going to win.

And now the actor who brought Mr. Badii to life has died. RIP Homayoun Ershadi 💔 Did his character survive TASTE OF CHERRY? I made this in tribute to his dilemma: ABSURD HEAVEN: The Ending of 'Taste of Cherry'

Here I am with Saverio Zumbo and Roberto Lasagna, longtime festival organizers for video essays in Italy. We just screened my film, MURDERGAME to an audience of mostly film students, before which I read a director’s statement in Italian (video to surface later?)

Every time I watch this I'm weirdly intrigued by how much water gets in the bag... @bolddecade.bsky.social
"is it a humorous piece? Disturbing? What is the broader context from which this fragment comes? Will it feature in the final essay film or, like the damp loaf, is it now to be discarded?" @bolddecade.bsky.social's fragment in our 2nd collection. Read more here fragments.video/2025/06/19/s...

I have no human children. But my video essays are the vessels for my hopes and dreams. So if I have one that is underperforming, I want to give it some spotlight. In this case, I submitted it to the Adelio Ferrero Film Festival, where it won an Honorable Mention! 🚀👁️ youtu.be/LeQYq_Fibm0?...

The larger puzzle involves an anti-consumerist statement, as inspired by the explosive climax of Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point (1970).
“Wondersludge” is a sketch for a scene in my upcoming VR essay film. It’s presented here, in all its DIY glory. I no longer have the butcher knife.

Pretty despicable. Glad I deleted my professional WeTransfer account prior to reading this.
“We can now steal all your creative work. And share it with other thieves”. WeTransfer’s new terms of service are as brazen as they are despicable.

I just deleted my professional account.
