There are 2 small moments in the film One Battle After Another that closely resemble moments from my film.

I choose to take this as irrefutable proof that PTA is a huge fan of my work.

Loved talking OBAA with @dougtilley.bsky.social and @liamrulz.bsky.social

This is honestly one of the best endorsements my film has gotten

Had a great time defending the Vampire Movie status of one of my favourite comedies ever made!

Thanks to @toadpuppy.bsky.social and @etrommater.bsky.social for having me on again!
This week on World Cinema History, @etrommater.bsky.social and I are joined by @lukehigginson.bsky.social to discuss one of my favorite films of all time, What We Do in the Shadows! We had a lot of fun and you will, too!

As we live in the more dumpster fire times now than even three years ago, the disaster character that is Casper is more and more reliable. Some sketches I made last year @artana.bsky.social

Big day for fans of loud, funny, overly clever Sadboy indie rock (me)

relax i'm from the future will always be the best movie because it has a lecture on nuclear semiotics in the middle of it.

Really enjoyed this conversation where we go deep into the movie’s ideas and I even get challenged on some of them.

We also talk nerdy filmmaking stuff and of course working with the great Rhys Darby!

(I obviously do not co-sign the Quebec OR Cronenberg slander…)

Happy Canadian Film Day!

Watch something Canadian and buy a struggling filmmaker a coffee or a townhouse or something

Pick up somethin' Canadian from boutique brands like Canadian International Pictures or Gold Ninja Video!

Or, heck, just look around and see what Canadian film has to offer (like @lukehigginson.bsky.social's awesome RELAX, I'M FROM THE FUTURE).

IF YOU ARE IN ONTARIO PLEASE VOTE TODAY!

And please vote with the knowledge that Doug Ford has personally stolen your money, raised your rent, made services in your province objectively worse and directly threatened your child’s education. A failure by any metric!

And he’ll win if you don’t vote.

If you put on this score on when you sit down to write you will 100% get some pages done. That alone should have earned it an Oscar nomination.

Second viewing of A Different Man last night. Fucking love this movie.

Could have gone wrong in a million different ways, but nails its dark, funny, brilliant tone throughout.

Scratches a very specific itch I haven’t felt since Being John Malkovich

I always liked David Lynch’s work, but it wasn’t until I started trying to make my own films that I understood how truly special he was.

This was a very fun and thoughtful interview until with about 3 minutes left I answer a question by saying I am ‘pro-history’ and that history is ‘important stuff’, which makes me sound like an absolute moron who has never read a history book.
Nice quick interview with @lukehigginson.bsky.social about #RelaxImFromTheFuture including a bit of Luke saying lovely things about Rhys Darby (and #OFMD) about the 9.37 mark. I love hearing Luke talk about his fabulously qurky little gem of a film!

Can confirm! What better way to ring in the new year than with someone who’s already been there??
Reminder: if you start watching @lukehigginson.bsky.social's brilliant #RelaxImFromTheFuture at 10:34:35pm then Casper will count down to the New Year with you!
