My dear friend/collaborator and fellow Sundance alumn, Brad Barnes and his adorable family lost everything in the Eaton Fire. I know it's a lot to ask, but if you could find it in your heart to help, I'd be forever grateful.

Returning to socials from wildfire-land here in L.A. We’re safe. Had a scare and had to rush the family out in the middle of the night when neighbor’s house went up in flames, but our house is here and we’re back on solid ground. Survive ‘til 2025 is being amended to February 2025. We’ll get there.

There are a very rare amount of films out there that can exist in the vin diagram of movies that appeals to both three year olds and cinephiles -- Flow is one of them and one of 2024's very best. Pure cinema.

Small Things Like These swooping in and becoming one of my favorites of the year. Murphy carries an entire film with as many words as you get in a haiku. Tim Mielants’s gentle restraint, mixed with some well-timed aesthetic swings is big in a small way.
