so much to say about the odyssey but have to start with how unbelievably emotional it made me to see a trans man as one of the first faces onscreen in one of the biggest movies of the year and called the bravest young man odysseus had ever met. elliot page was perfect.
I know enough about low budget filmmaking to know that these things are more nuanced than Twitter allows but why is the prevailing response to that IG post chastising her for fear that she’ll never work again and not chastising the conditions that lead to this being the reality
‘BACKROOMS’ director Kane Parsons says he would get “no enjoyment” out of using generative AI on any project — “It defeats the purpose entirely for me.”
“I think I'm in the same boat as most well-adjusted people. If I could snap my fingers and make generative Al disappear forever, I probably would.”

i loved that this scene used the same unpredictability that was used in my favorite scene from the online series. the fact that someone else inside the complex could be seeing something completely different than you is anxiety inducing
“It’s a movie mostly about the biological imperative of needing to make maps of everything to have some form of control, to explain your circumstances so you can escape the emotional burden of them.”
I’ve seen people claim that both Obsession and Backrooms were ghost directed by older, more experienced filmmakers, and it’s hard to imagine a more pathetic conspiracy theory about film. Even as a joke it’s sad
@kyleedwardball your films have been hugely formative for me as not only a lover of SOV, low budget horror but as a queer artist myself. Is there ANY universe you can share a snippet of what’s to come with Land of Nod! My most anticipated movie of the year!
@BeyondFest@A24@am_cinematheque There’s NO WAY!! I clicked immediately and it sold out quicker than any other screening! If anybody has any tix available, I’d be so grateful!👀😭
Hi, Everyone !! The Apartment is going okay so far, though we are struggling a bit for groceries, so there isn't much food in the house at all !! If you'd be able to donate grocery money to us that can get us to our next pay day, we'd be very grateful !! Much love to you all !!
The films people describe as "hopecore" are often pretty vapid outside of that aspect, offering little else to chew on.
My favourite director often makes films with an optimistic outlook on the world, but the misery still takes center stage.
Hopeful, but more emotionally honest
I miss my friend @NicholasBrendon. He was complex and funny and had lightning fast processors in his head. All the hours of time with him made me better in many ways. Now I just miss him horribly.
