I looooove bleak week. Copped the Hanekes immediately. My boyfriend is going to see the Piano Teacher for the FIRST TIME in a packed Egyptian Theater with the legend herself. Impossibly special.

@lydrummet Congrats Peter!! The sound is immaculate, loved the nail clipping sequence and all the scorpion stuff. So nasty (complimentary)

Haven’t been to drafthouse since they went phone only and that’s certainly not changing soon

@nightmarewhor3 Absolutely insane, it starts ramping up and then just goes nuts. Best part of the movie.

#LeeCroninsTheMummy is the real fuckin deal. Nasty, goopy, gory, and schlocky. Basically Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Mummy, so if you dug his style on Rise you’ll love this take on Mummy. Laia Costa remains one of my favorite actresses and Natalie Grace steals every scene she’s in.

FACES OF DEATH sitting at a cool 65, which, considering it’s also a meta interrogation of youth, technology, social media, and hyperviolence, is a Michael Haneke 100

@_CREDO23_ @reedmorano @Lilfilm @cassianelwes Meadowland in a theater might be too good to miss 👀

@sonicbarber Ryan’s incredible. The vocal work in this track always reminds me of the syllabic stuff from Johann Johannsson’s Arrival score. Amazing sound

“Coco Gauff” is like the coolest name a person could possibly have

Every major American Cinematheque event being at the aero is my joker origin for real

Up front in a packed house this Sunday evening for the Walter Murch masterclass at American Cinematheque. Brought my copy of Blink of an Eye that I’ve had for 10 years and an empty notebook so you already know I’m locked in

Halfway through the movie Sam Raimi literally does this #sendhelp

@asalisbury @sonicbarber Ha! Love this. Bet Void can work a Neve like a pro

[erik nordgren @nrdgrn]

Never bought a ticket for something so fast in my life. I read In The Blink of an Eye in college and it remains one of if not the most important book on editing you can get. As a composer, I think understanding editing is almost as important as understanding how to write music.

@mattreevesLA This rules. Erik has such a brilliant way of shooting digital, feels so slick and real without losing any texture. Cant wait

little sneak preview of my score for Ornithomancy by Marquis Wright, hitting your screens next year 🦜🐧🐦🐤

Tonight after dinner I had drinks next to Chloe Zhao, and got an opportunity to express a few of the emotions her films stir up in me, and how moved I am by where she (and by extension the legendary Lukasz Zal this year) places her camera. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

That’s a wrap on Telluride Film Festival 2025, here’s where it all landed for me. The top four are very VERY close. I’m exhausted.
