If you're seeing One Battle After Another and want a deeper dive, PTA was inspired by the stories of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn for the French 75 resistance fighters in his film. Hear their incredible story of activism in my film Radical Love

Hi fellow screenwriters and filmmakers. I have an outlining method I’ve used for years using inspiration images and story beats into a full page grid that helps visualize the story. And I’ve made an easy to use app, Scenely! If you want to to give it a try DM me. Thanks! #scriptsky #filmsky

Wow. I’ve got a whole new respect for Jason Isaacs using his current spotlight to call out the absurdity of our current administration
Artist Jorg Dubin in his home art studio.
At the early stages of a new documentary project that I’m so excited about that feels timely and urgent and checks all the boxes for what I’m passionate about. More to come…
Tshirt that reads fuck Putin film in Ukraine
I directed some commercials in Kiev about 8 years ago and this was a gift from the local production company Workshop I was working with. As true then as it is now. Fuck Putin, film and support Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Sorry.

Tokyo! What a fantastic city in every way. Vibrant, friendly, a perfect mix of modern and historical, and an amazing food scene.

For all of the songs in the history of music that have sexual innuendos I suspected this one the least.

Taylor mead on amphetamines and in Europe book
Thanks to the Philosophical Research Society and Film Forum LA for hosting a centennial celebration of Taylor Mead tonight. I had the privilege of getting to share a few stories and read some of Taylor’s poems. As Taylor would always say, “Please no paparazzi!” 📸
Just came across this is in an old box… Oh the days of vhs festival submissions. #filmsky
Dutch babies are the best! NYT’s Florence Fabricant has an excellent recipe we use when we make them.
The Master BTS. Like if you can see the shot in your head.

I really enjoyed A Complete Unknown way more than I was expecting to. There’s nearly 30 Dylan songs performed and Mangold never loses narrative momentum. Chalamet put in the work and makes the movie. Ed Norton as Pete Seeger feels so honest. But Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez - wow!!!
The DGA has gotten about 2 DVD’s this year and 40+links. I’m guessing this is the last year we get dvds and it makes me sad.
TV on the Radio at the El Rey. Such a great night!
William kirkley and Jaleel Bunton
Tv on the radio
A whole other lifetime ago I remember talking to Jaleel about what they were gonna name the band. TV On The Radio were so different than anything else happening. So passionate, poetic and punk. Over the years they’ve grown to become one of my all time favorites. Grateful for their friendship & music
Give me a single image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack playing in your head
Watching the Yacht Rock doc on Max and had no idea Toto’s “Rosanna” is about Rosanna Arquette. Of course it is! She’s always been cool.
I finally get to share this ridiculously fun spot I directed and made with a bunch of my extremely talented friends for the Doritos Super Bowl competition. Had a blast and taking our shot at a million bucks! #filmsky
Conclave is so damn good. I was not expecting to be so captivated by a story around choosing the next pope. The performances and craft on display soars at every level. #filmsky
It looks worth a visit. Thanks Jan!
Missing Veselka in New York as the days get cooler. Any recommendations for polish restaurants around LA for some pirogies, borscht and blintzes?
Never saw it this way before 🤣
