Back on the Sky! I guess I'll introduce myself again - my name’s Albert. Or Al, whichever you prefer.

I’m a writer-director and love to craft films that explore grounded stories with a sprinkle of magical realism; to stir the mind, heart, and imagination.

Celine Song's "Past Lives" is a marvel. Her tender story and observant, quiet camera (shot on gorgeous 35mm by Shabier Kirchner) wandering with these characters washed me in all the best ways that cinema can operate on us -- as an empathy machine.

I feel like people forget that Christopher Nolan literally opened a Batman film with a plane being hijacked from another plane in the sky above it -- and captured it all practically on IMAX 70mm cameras.

Insane scale filmmaking.

Every couple decades a piece of art comes along that pushes audiences to completely re-contextualize and orient what they imagined possible. SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is a milestone moment in cinematic expression.

It completely transcends.

Director here! A few frames from recent work:

Todd Field has only made three feature films, with a whopping 16 year gap in between his last two. He's one of the first directors that was hailed to be Kubrick's successor.

A few months ago he shared 'TAR' will most likely be his final film.

Never rush. Quality > Quantity.

"Soul" -- coming soon.

Finished the newest draft of my feature screenplay, "Jellyfish Skies". A story that's deeply personal to me and set in Philadelphia.

I always have talent in mind for characters when I write my scripts. If I could make the film today - I'd want Milly Alcock and Timothee Chalamet.
