@tftalbott @pattonoswalt @williamandmary He may not remember, but I remember walking across campus together for the graduation ceremony. People kept handing him more free beers than he could hold, so he handed them off to us. 🍻

Aaand… that’s it. Goodbye Twitter. You can catch me on Instagram as @tohubohufilm. Will probably get a Mastodon account as well, but don’t have it set up yet.

May not be able to be there in person for the @wheatonfilmfest this year, but making do the best I can with the home theater setup. 🍿🥤📽

[Bill Coughlan (he/him) ☮️ @Coughlan]

Excited to be spending the day with the @WheatonFilmFest! (“Separation Smackdown” from @TohubohuFilm will be showing later this evening, so a whole lot of films to enjoy before then!)

[Bill Coughlan (he/him) ☮️ @Coughlan]

Pretty damn fine showing for @TohubohuFilm if I do say so myself.

One final @TohubohuFilm short to rewatch before tonight’s big event! (And tickets are still available at https://t.co/VqRxMONLSS.)

[Tohubohu Productions @TohubohuFilm]

Time for one more Tohubohu film before tonight’s “Best of @DC_48HFP Sci Fi Horror” screening and awards ceremony at @AFISilver. So let’s have a look at “The Golden Cage of Television,” our homage to classic 50s comedy. https://t.co/aVZWOuDoq6

[Tohubohu Productions @TohubohuFilm]

The retrospective continues in the buildup to the “Best of @DC_48HFP Sci Fi Horror” screening at @AFISilver tomorrow evening. Today, enjoy “Bombshell,” a fun little piece inspired by a conversation between Alfred Hitchcock and François Truffaut: https://t.co/XLopkXI3Vz

Boatload of stuff to accomplish today, but my single most important task is complete! #vote2022💙

[Bill Coughlan (he/him) ☮️ @Coughlan]

Continuing to enjoy this little return to the @TohubohuFilm classics!

[Tohubohu Productions @TohubohuFilm]

In the ongoing Tohubohu retrospective as we approach Wednesday’s @AFISilver “Best of @DC_48HFP Sci Fi Horror” screening, here’s a look at “The Least Among Us” (a slightly more explicit “horror” film than this year’s “Closure Corps”): https://t.co/lZGHQeznV3

[Bill Coughlan (he/him) ☮️ @Coughlan]

Hope to see a whole bunch of you out at the big “Best Of @DC_48HFP Sci Fi Horror” screening for “Closure Corps” at the @AFISilver! Comedies need a crowd! https://t.co/XXKFsA1Vv5

[Tohubohu Productions @TohubohuFilm]

Another film from the Tohubohu @DC_48HFP back catalog, this one featuring not one but two of our actors from “Closure Corps”: “Winston,” which would go on to take home the Levin Grand Prize in the 2016 @WheatonFilmFest. https://t.co/NtfIUkzaNY

In the lead-up to next Wednesday’s “Best Of”@DC_48HFP Sci Fi Horror Project screening at @AFISilver, we thought we’d share a few highlights from past years. Today’s selection: “The Greater Evil,” Best Film winner at the 2015 Politics & Comedy event.

OMG, just watched the “Director by Night” film on Disney+ — cannot imagine a greater love letter to people who just want to make movies for the sheer love of it.

Time…

[Tohubohu Productions @TohubohuFilm]

Way too many examples to mention, but check out “Tex:Wisdom of the Old West” to see a prime example of where my direction was really just pointing a bunch of crazy-talented people in the same direction. https://t.co/Ge3MGN3x6W 2/2

Went down the rabbit hole of watching a slew of @TohubohuFilm shorts after a couple of scotches (don’t judge — wasn’t the single-malt stuff), and came to one big realization: Surround yourself with people way more talented than you and coax them into bringing out their best. 1/2

[Bill Coughlan (he/him) ☮️ @Coughlan]

Curious realization: I honestly think I’ve only ever *literally* walked out of a movie once. Ironically, it’s now one of my all-time favorite films, but at the time, I just couldn’t handle it. Any guesses?

[Bill Coughlan (he/him) ☮️ @Coughlan]

No trick or treaters this year. I was so looking forward to it — even wore my exact inner structure, done on a t-shirt.
Not one. 😞

[Bill Coughlan (he/him) ☮️ @Coughlan]

People have lots of entertaining stories about losing a wedding band. Somehow I don’t think “I lost it while folding laundry” quite makes that list. (Nor does the story of finally recovering it afterward.)
