In Sean Baker’s TANGERINE and STARLET, James Ransone played supporting roles that could have easily stayed as negative archetypes, but his charisma and the tonal precision of his performances transformed them into memorable, lived-in characters with compelling contradictions. RIP

The Mayans believed this day is not a dark ending but about rebirth of the sun for the upcoming year.
It is also a reminder that from today forward, each day will be sunnier / longer than the last.

Udo took a chance on my rinky-dink festival in Vancouver back in 2000 - he went on TV interviews with me, carried 35mm film prints up stairs, went to get me coffee and even live-dubbed Giancarlo Giannini's voice when BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA showed up without subs. RIP Udo, you were a star 🌟
