Spiritual cinema is fundamentally an aspiration: it must reach out toward something it cannot ultimately depict.

A real nice bit of reviewage from Rob Rubsam in @thebaffler.com, placing "Revelations" within a larger trend of the sublime and spiritual in contemporary cinema!!

And can you believe they used a still from our movie for the header!!

Extremely cool to see our movie examined in tandem with The Testament of Ann Lee—was hoping someone would make the connection!

Acquired Cinema author C.J. Prince is right on the money in their assessment of our movie: decidedly unfashionable and unapologetically sincere!

Everything being so bad rn really puts small inconveniences in perspective (by allowing you to view them as side effects of larger systemic problems and then lose your mind).

Hello! I finally finished my new EP "Brothers." It's inspired by my favorite book The Brothers Karamazov. You can listen to it and/or buy it on Bandcamp if you want. I'll put it on other streaming sites at some point I guess! aisus.bandcamp.com/album/brothers

a lot of times when I say I’m a fan of something it turns out I’m just a fan of the first 3-5 years of something, and I’m sure this requires no introspection on my part
