Dark Winds Season 4 | Official Trailer ft. Zahn McClarnon | Premieres February 15 on AMC+ YouTube video by amc+

What a journey. Dark Winds Season 4 trailer is here. Grateful to be a part of a show I genuinely love, alongside actors I've long admired. I don't take it lightly.

Series returns 2/15 on AMC and AMC Plus.

Can't say enough about everyone involved in this show. #DarkWinds

When they look like they have had a bunch of work done and hired a trainer, they’re not relatable (and boring). They're just a commercial for botox and ozempic.

I guess what I’m saying is cast me in your show if you want to save Hollywood.

The various breakdowns about how movies look now VS how they used to look are great, but I also think casting is a big part of it.

The early to mid-2000’s have pushed overly polished, generic looking leads. When the characters we follow look and feel like real people, real people relate to them.

This book was so damn good. Great reminder of what made cinema of the 70’s so incredible. Authenticity was everything. Character actors as leads. Interesting over beautiful. Hollywood taking risks. It’s coming back. I see it in all the great indies and original horror. I’m ready.

How Two Friends Turned Endless Film Festival Ovations Into a Viral Short Luke Barnett and Noam Kroll tell Future of Filmmaking about garnering over a million views for a film they shot in two hours.

OVATION (Official Short Film) | One-Take | Inspired by Cannes Standing Ovations | 4K YouTube video by Noam Kroll

Brutal short film by @lukebarnett.bsky.social

"It was inspired by watching Joaquin Phoenix during ‘Eddington’s’ ovation at Cannes. You can tell it affected him and meant a lot… for about 45 seconds. After that, I’m guessing his soul slowly and uncomfortably died."
