I am always terrified to look at reviews of my film supplement work, but my commentary partner in crime, @Characters_Pod sent me this for our Texas Chain Saw Massacre track, and WHEW. This was really nice to see.
So much pressure with that film! Happy people enjoy it.

Can’t believe I’m about to say this, but my film ASK ANY BUDDY will be having a weeklong run at @AnthologyFilm next month. And that’s not all: we’re also showing seven other films, including five in 16mm and the world premiere of a brand-new restoration!
