Saw Mulholland Drive at #PhillyFilmFest for the first time maybe since it came out - certainly the first time I’ve seen it on the big screen since then - and I had forgotten how hilarious that film is, in addition to all the other things it is. I LOL’d multiple times.

an absolute gem from #PhillyFilmFest. a hospital thriller/drama that is a whole heck of a lot of fun to watch but a great study of what a person has to do to achieve great success.

a directorial debut from Jason Park that is one of my favorite films from this year.

TRANSPLANT explores the challenges of becoming a world class doctor — Moviejawn by Jonathan Jansen, Staff Writer  Transplant examines the cost of greatness through the lens of a surgical resident that is aiming to be a heart transplant surgeon.

MJ's @jonjansen.bsky.social says, "TRANSPLANT'S surgical portrayal of what it means to achieve great things is brilliantly taken to the operating room." #TransplantMovie played #PhillyFilmFest. #PFF24 #Filmsky
