WOW! This is incredible. Parents of the boy who was k*lled in Ohio by an immigrant SLAM Donald Trump for using their son’s name to spread hate.
Good for them!!! 💙
"Chip Roy, JD Vance, and Donald Trump, they have spoken my son's name and use his de*th for political gain.
They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis, and even untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members.
However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio."

BREAKING: Chris Wallace just completely demolished Donald Trump’s debate performance. Wallace went so far as to call Donald Trump’s debate performance tonight the worst debate performance in American history. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

I made a 7-minute video taking a behind-the-scenes peek at the industry side of things at the recent @HotDocs. Are things all gloom and doom? Maybe, but you wouldn’t know it.

Sad to see you leaving movie criticism @aoscott. As one of the few critics who understands that documentaries have directors, your reviews of my films meant the world to me. Wishing you all the best in the book section.
Will you join me in supporting The D-Word, a global community for #documentary professionals? We've never charged for membership or programs, but offer a wealth of resources. Our annual fundraising campaign ends next Tuesday. Any amount helps. dword.wedid.it/campaigns/110…
Now if only AI would do my retweets for me.
What happens when I ask a bot to write my Creative Resilience blog? Plus other reflections on the role of AI in the creative process. ericaginsberg.com/blog/can-a…
I’ll be there virtually, for sure.
Anyone interested in tools for thought -- this is looking like a killer lineup, including the legendary @hrheingold who literally wrote the book on the subject. (I'm going to try to join as well.) betaworks.com/event/render-t…

An Iranian documentarian was arrested in Tehran. Mina Keshavarz was arrested and moved to an unknown location. The security forces searched her house and confiscated her belongings.

Tuesday night, see the film called “One of the most complete and honest views of marriage that any movie has ever put forth.” I'll be there for a Q&A along with several of the stars.

Totally agree. But as I told a filmmaker friend, at least it levels the playing field a bit as buyers and press can see more films, and under the same conditions.
If you love cinema, like I do, you’ll love this film, like I do.
"A beautifully structured tale of movie love. “Searching for Mr. Rugoff” is both dramatic and enlightening, a moving document of an American life that has a bit of “Citizen Kane” to it."
