Fargo 1996
What does an editor actually do, anyway?
1. It’s the editor’s job to create an invisible rhythm. An editor finds the flow from shot to shot, scene to scene. It’s a million minuscule decisions that compound into one long final sequence. Asking the same question over and over: “when should I cut?” Moving that cut-point a few frames (just 1/24th of a second) can surprisingly change how a moment feels in a substantial way. Sit a little too long on…

My Dinner with Andre 1981
Been invited back on Amy Hensarling's Watch This List pod to talk about My Dinner with Andre, a flick that has been living rent free in my brain the last couple months.

American Movie 1999

This movie walks a courageous tightrope of empathy for and criticism of its two protagonists. She may know these guys, and feel for them, but she sure as shit…

La Chimera 2023
Such an intriguing protagonist. This odd, sweaty, lonely, smelly-lookin’ sad young man also happens to be, well, magic. He’s got this special ability, you see. The gift of finding the things we’ve lost. Items from our past. Archeological artifacts deep in the ground. Somehow, he just knows where they are. And this gift makes him valuable to people.
Us humans, we sure love our things. Owning things, buying things, selling things, keeping things, stealing things, coveting things. We place immense…
