Wir haben im Lichtspielplatz mit TRON-Regisseur Steven Lisberger gesprochen - aber über einen Film, der noch nicht so detailliert behandelt wurde. In SLIPSTREAM schickte er Bill Paxton & Mark Hamill in einer Welt nach dem Klimakollaps in ein Abenteuer rund um einen des Mordes angeklagten Androiden.

Another talented filmmaker I met at last month's Oldenburg Film Festival was Jorge Florez Arcila from Colombia. He was there for the world premiere of his short film THE FLOWER OF FEAR, which won the award for Best Short Film.

It was great to be able to meet so many creative, cool & like-minded filmmakers at this year's Oldenburg Film Festival. These two gentlemen here are director Alejandro Castro Arias & his producer Juan Galindo, whose feature film debut HARAKIRI I MISS YOU won the award for Best First Film!

One last photo from this year's BUT Film Festival, with festival director Ryan Oomen. It was a pleasure and an honor to be invited to present our documentary FINDING PLANET PORNO & meet so many cool, like-minded people. And now it's off to my next stop: the Oldenburg film festival!

At the BUT Film Festival, I shared an AirBnB with British filmmaker Jim Groom – a perfect opportunity to watch Jim's films REVENGE OF BILLY THE KID and ROOM 36! Both films are wonderfully deranged & stylish, have a wicked sense of humor, and they're shot on gloriously grainy 16mm – a real discovery!

Such a pleasure to meet Brazilian filmmaker Rodrigo Aragão, producer Mayra Alarcón & actor Caio Macedo at the BUT Film Festival! They presented their latest film PRÉDIO VAZIO & their previous film O CEMITÉRIO DAS ALMAS PERDIDAS. Love how they combine gripping horror, gore & poetic storytelling.

One of these two gentlemen is an 11-time world kickboxing champion. So cool to meet Don "The Dragon" Wilson at this year's BUT Film Festival and chat about his movies, his work with Roger Corman, his memories of his best friend Chris Penn, and much more!

I just came back from the BUT Film Festival in Breda, Netherlands, where our doc FINDING PLANET PORNO played on a double feature with FLESH GORDON, which I also presented. Excellent screening with a great turnout & a wonderful festival in general. Check out the cool blurbs in their official program!

Today would have been Howard Ziehm's 85th birthday. "Growing old and feeble isn't all it's cracked up to be", he liked to joke. I miss his sense of humor and our chats about his crazy adventures, his films, about life and politics and everything in between.

I'm not sure if I have enough copies of the two FLESH GORDON movies.
