All That Jazz + Jaws are a perfect double feature: both star Roy Scheider, both could’ve starred Richard Dreyfus, both include Scheider drinking red wine from a pint glass, and both feature a predatory animal who sidles up when you least expect it to wreak havoc. #Jaws50 @mattcampagna.bsky.social

I’m really proud of this film and buoyed by the comments I’ve received from audience members that have complicated or toxic relationships with their mothers (or other family members) and what it means to see that explored in the film. I hope you’ll check it out! 🎬💔💃🏻

This scene was surprisingly easy to shoot despite its heaviness - mostly because #WendieMalick is such a generous actor that I just had to listen and respond. Writing about #NarcAbuse is always tricky - this was our attempt to express how complicated these relationships can be #MOASFilm

“When we look at Auschwitz we see the end… It's important to remember that the Holocaust actually did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanisation & escalating violence.”

Right?!? I feel the same way. There are always omissions & puzzling choices when it comes to the Oscars, and these felt especially egregious.

I loved both Nickel Boys & Sing Sing so much. I really wish they were represented in the Best Director category, and that Sing Sing was in the running for Best Picture. I’m still thinking about both of them…

Thanks for asking me to participate in this @revalmanac.bsky.social! Some tough choices, but here’s where I landed with what/who I hope takes home an Oscar in these categories. 🎬

Lisa Sterle's incredible Ten of Swords tarot card from the Modern Witch tarot, depicting a woman with long hair lying on a jagged landscape under an ominous sky. She's stuck full of swords and looking at her phone. It's captioned EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Better Man is an example of the kinds of big, creative swings that excite me in filmmaking. Amazing CGI used as a narrative and character-building tool that adds to the emotional depth of the story, instead of distancing us from it. A bold, flashy, poignant exploration of fame and grief.
