Testament of Ann Lee in 35mm is returning to the Philly Film Society starting Jan 15! I saw it at #PFF34, it was a gorgeous way to see this film.

“Do you guys ever think about dying,” the movie.

Here’s my review for SOUND OF FALLING, the best film I saw at @phillyfilmsociety.bsky.social’s #PFF34.

Is 'Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie' the Next Great Comedy Classic?  » LIVING LIFE FEARLESS 'Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie' has a lot funny going for it, but is it the next comedy classic is being hyped up for?

I wrote for Living Life Fearless about NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE, which I saw at #PFF34 and seemed to have liked less than the rest of the world livinglifefearless.co/2025/film-tv...

I now have extra material about similarities between several films I saw at #PFF34 that I'm looking forward to finessing into something longer.

Vertical screenshot from a smart phone showing the Philadelphia Film Festival web site's page for "What the Hell Happened", a documentary directed by Matt Wilkins and Eliza Fox. The sub-headline says "PFF34 Jury Awards Honorable Mention for Best Local Feature"

Update on the documentary I worked on: "What the Hell Happened" won Jury Award Honorable Mention & Local Audience Award at the Philadelphia Film Festival.

I wasn't able to attend, missing out on audience reactions to the humor I contributed in my animation.
