Love to meet an Oscar winner early in their career! The equivalent for me: chatting with Barry Jenkins in the offices at @nwfilmforum.bsky.social while Medicine for Melancholy was playing. He's pictured here with Adam Sekuler after the screening--both better looking than my photos indicate.

HAPPYEND, the newest film from Neo Sora, comes to Northwest Film Forum THIS SUNDAY! Teeming with angst, rebellion, and a healthy dose of optimistic nihilism, HAPPYEND is a film that asks you to shake authority (and authoritarianism) to its core and have fun doing so, no matter the consequences.
