Me, My Movies, & Some Of My Thoughts

Friends of mine are throwing a little party this evening to welcome me to San Francisco and introduce me around to some folks who can help initiate the vast amount of changes that need to occur to help ambitious & diverse cinema remain a sustainable and impactful art form and enterprise.

Thanks Jacques!

We’ve subsequently done a non-interview edit, added in Dark Horse, MMMM, and Super, while removing some older titles.  I look forward to one day having a totally fresh reel with different clips though….
