While separated by over two decades, Bill Weiss’s Now Hiring and Chandler Levack’s I Like Movies both utilize the retail environment — the independent movie house and the video rental store — as a laboratory for exploring the intersection of professional stagnation, romantic confusion, and the intellectual hierarchies of film consumption.

Jean (2016) blends Southwest mythology, gentle caregiving, and quietly eccentric fantasy into something tender and surprisingly wise. A small story set against enormous landscapes, with a tone that feels both homegrown and otherworldly — and yes, Lee Majors really does voice a mystical rock.

I saw #IoCapitano last night, thanx to my wonderful hard-working & volunteer-run local #IndependentCinema #BuxtonFilm - it was a hard watch, some left half-way through because they 'couldn't stand the scenes of torture'

Well… I’m cleaning out some old boxes and it feels like I’m doing an archaeological dig. I just came across this buried artifact from 1993 – my first master’s thesis. This spring it will be 30 years since I defended it before the committee. And yes, Kinko’s!

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 13: Do something daring on #NationalOpenAnUmbrellaIndoorsDay

A slice of teenage bravura is just enough for a couple of kids to #dare each other to a drag race. Hours after the car of one of them plunges from a bridge into the murky waters below, Mary Henry resurfaces.

Carnival of Souls was Herk Harvey sole feature length #film. He's much better known – albeit mostly uncredited – for his short PSAs including Halloween Safety, ruining your kids' favourite holiday since 1977, and Shake Hands With Danger (1980). You don't have to tell Three Finger Joe about taking no risks.
