Know I'm in the middle of competing in a softball tournament and on vacation but still wanted to post this interview with #BrittanyRunsAMarathon writer/director Paul Downs Colaizzo conducted during #SIFF2019. Great guy. Terrific movie....
During the final days of #SIFF2019 had the pleasure to briefly sit down with #TheFarewell writer/director Lulu Wang (@thumbelulu) to chat about her universally acclaimed, highly personal film. Here's some of what she had to...

Any other accredited press going to the Golden Space Needle Awards Brunch? If so, lemme know. Didn't get an invite last year, but I did this year. #SIFF2019
Taking a break from #SIFF2019 for Joanna Hogg and the Swintons.
Think I'm gonna see the new Jarmusch tonight rather than the Alien making-of documentary. If I had time, what I'd really like to see is Souvenir, which is only playing on one screen in Seattle, and probably won't be there long. #SIFF2019
At the Uptown by myself for Driveways. #SIFF2019 https://youtu.be/aAvp-SuNYGw
Took two days off from #SIFF2019 to (try to) catch up on freelance projects. The plan for tonight is Andrew Ahn's Driveways and Jack McHenry's Here Comes Hell. https://www.siff.net/festival/here-comes-hell

Maryna Ajaja w Crystal Swan writer Helga Landauer. A good movie...that didn't inspire me to visit Belarus anytime soon. Cool to hear fr audience members who agreed that it offers an accurate take on their country in the '90s. #SIFF2019

ICYMI, I reviewed Stanley Nelson's very good documentary, Birth of the Cool, here. The final #SIFF2019 screening is today at 4pm at the Uptown. The broadcast premiere will be on @PBSAmerMasters in the US and BBC2 in the UK (dates TBA)....
DJ NicFit presents Fantastic Planet, w/ live-spun new soundtrack of Flaming Lips songs #siff2019 #cinemaservedhot (@ Egyptian Theatre in Seattle, WA) https://www.swarmapp.com/c/e0DYPCFoLR4
Had the pleasure to chat with Regina Hall before her visit to Seattle for her #SIFF2019 tribute on Sunday. Needless to say, she was delightful. This also marks my debut piece for The Seattle Times, so I might be grinning like a Cheshire Cat today....
We’re super-proud of our New American Cinema competition lineup. Of the eight selected films, five come from female directors, five are from directors of color, and one was made while the filmmaker was still in high school. #siff2019...

I had a lot, maybe too much, to say about Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool. #SIFF2019 siffblog2.blogspot.com/2019/05/cool-and-hip-and...
At the Uptown for Ida Lupino's The Bigamist. #SIFF2019
Just interviewed the great Regina Hall in lieu of her visit to Seattle on Sunday for her #SIFF2019 tribute and I am currently on cloud nine. She’s amazing!!!!
Now, how do I condense 25-minutes into 800 words? This is not going to be easy.
ICYMI, I reviewed Mark Cousins' Storm in My Heart, which plays for a final time at the Uptown tonight at 9pm. Now I just need to catch up with The Story of Film and The Eyes of Orson Welles. tl;dr I'd recommend it. #SIFF2019...
