A fantastic new review up on @splittoothmedia from @FrancisVanaria on my favorite film so far of 2024! Read all about @thebrownshaun's brilliant 'Ben and Suzanne: A Reunion in 4 Parts!' splittoothmedia.com/ben-and-suzann…

New interview! 🌟 “The film was shot in Sri Lanka over 15 days, almost 9000 miles from home, and through the chaos of the SAG-AFTRA strike. It is a testament to the joys of bringing a story—loved and cared for—to life through film and sound.” 🔗 0613focus.com/interviews/ben…

this has nothing to do with superhero movies, or calling TikToks cinema or whatever. it's about making work that is actively invested in the world as it is, and understanding the whole ecosystem of images, beyond what gets put in theaters/on streaming. what do you have to offer?


Shaun Seneviratne Reposted

our Luddite impulse to protect "cinema" from contamination is a fool's errand. it's restrictive, regressive, and ahistorical to how these definitions have always expanded beyond their containers. we know it when we see it, and if you know where to look for it, it's everywhere.


Shaun Seneviratne Reposted

the desire to watch, create & share moving images, is only growing; the fervor around onscreen personalities only intensifying; the impulse to imprint oneself onto these stories only deepening. if you can't figure out how to nurture that, that's *your* problem, not the audience's


Shaun Seneviratne Reposted

it's frustrating for me to see death knells for cinema continuing to pop up when we live in a world where young ppl largely communicate thru moving images of their own making. if the market built around movies can't meaningfully grapple and adapt to this, maybe it ought to die

Watched ‘La Collectioneuse’ for @thebrownshaun and I’s podcast last night. Visually perfect, aurally complex, complicated people being shitty and interesting. What’s not to like? Episode coming soon!

New episode on this king just dropped. Season 1 complete. I definitely uttered the phrase 'Rohmerian Cinematic Universe.' @thebrownshaun Rohmercast.com

Want to watch the Rohmer films @LiamGBillingham and I are talking about on RohmerCast? Many are available at Archive.org! #FilmTwitter #ericrohmer The Aviator’s Wife archive.org/details/the.-a…


Someone needs to make this movie!

‘I was adored once too.’ A whole play within a play that line!



This movie by @janeschoenbrun is gonna be wild!

Big news!! Behold the cast of I SAW THE TV GLOW, which if I might humbly brag is the coolest, wildest (and queerest) cast anyone has assembled in a minute. I cannot wait for everyone to see the incredible work we all made together!! hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
