@mattzollerseitz You might want to give Anthology Film Archives in New York a call for guidance. They specialize in just this sort of thing. I have friends who work there if you need any intros.

@mattzollerseitz I watched Imaura’s “A Man Vanishes” this week and was astounded at how much thought was put into framing, especially since - as a doc - Imamura didn’t have complete control of blocking. And how the sound often isn’t synced with the image. Visual power/clarity is chosen instead.

The WGI makes the art of storytelling accessible to people of all ethnic, cultural and economic backgrounds – with special attention to the underserved. Recently they have conducted workshops with vets, caregivers and immigrant youth.

@johnaugust ...to cut a common word that I take for granted, one which is almost impossible to imagine the sentence without, to force myself into considering a different way of expressing the same idea.

[Beau Willimon @BeauWillimon]

@johnaugust I’m cheating, but there was a Radiolab episode“Colors” from which I learned that the ancient Greeks had no concept of “blue” - the word didn’t exist for them. You can’t find it in the plays or epic poems (i.e. the ocean becomes the “wine-dark sea”) Sometimes when writing I try...

Think of WWI and the poor souls who died in the 10th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, just before the ceasefire. Until there are zero covid cases worldwide, people will continue to die. The closer we get to the 11th hour, we should not be lulled into complacency.

There are currently 253 bills introduced in 43 states designed to suppress voting. In #BrnovichvDNC, #SCOTUS should affirm there’s no place for racism in our elections. #ProtectOurVote

Today, #SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, a case challenging two Arizona policies as racially discriminatory under Section 2 of the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. https://t.co/NqtNDldzSz

I’m probably going to wear this all summer. @jasonsudeikis and @brendanhunting I’ll happily be an extra on the show anytime. Congrats on all the success.

[Beau Willimon @BeauWillimon]

I got a really nice gift box from the @TedLasso team because I adore the show so much. A Richmond jersey, a mug, toy solider gummies (sans CBD), a collection of brown water packets, pink box of biscuits (!!!) and this sign, which now hangs above my office door. Thanks Team Lasso!

@tmkaye I studied your work, Todd, and employed what I learned during the trial scene of The Crucible in 10th grade.

[Beau Willimon @BeauWillimon]

Just found this while cleaning out old boxes - the rehearsal script for the first play I was ever in. 8th grade. I played Jem.

@EliseSalomon I was obsessed with Garfield too. Although Calvin & Hobbes gave Garfield and just pet Jon a run for their money.

[Beau Willimon @BeauWillimon]

We had an excellent theater program. The thrill of being in that first play changed my life. I knew I wanted to keep being in the room forever. Eventually I figured out that for me it would be through writing. Hat’s off to all the wonderful theater teachers out there.

[Beau Willimon @BeauWillimon]

Suppose I felt Garfield needed to be drawn on the back cover.
