Perhaps filmmaker Martin Scorsese might have the vocabulary to describe the careful color selection of what he considers "the most beautiful films ever made" — as we showcase the works of Powell & Pressburger, Thursday nights this November. 😉🎥
Quite possibly the worst film take I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and I'm not seeing a single Friday the 13th marathon scheduled on any of the major channels. Nothing on AMC. Nothing on SYFY. Have we stopped caring?! What are we doing anymore?!

"Concept art really isn't anything substantial." The top is my concept art, the bottom is a frame from The Matrix Resurrections.

How is the @am_cinematheque able to secure so many rare 70mm prints? It starts with the highly skilled, highly dedicated team of union projectionists led by chief Ben Tucker. Their print handling along with FIAF certified booths help AC film programmers secure rare 35/70 prints.

Shout-out to cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC...
When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music.  Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it. Post Malone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I’m so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration. I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets). I still can’t believe I get to work with the unfathomably brilliant Rodrigo Prieto on cinematography and my team of dream collaborators: Ethan Tobman (production design), Chancler Haynes (editor), Anthony Dimino (1st AD), Jil Hardin (producer) and Dom Thomas (executive producer). Parliament aced the VFX as always. Joseph Cassell, Lorrie Turk and Jemma Muradian made these tortured looks come to life. The entire crew made this a dream to shoot. Thank you to everyone involved and everyone who has watched it!! taylor.lnk.to/FortnightMV

The process of creating is crucial to learning and growing as an artist. You make discoveries, have revelations, come up with new approaches, techniques, ideas. The process is something most artists enjoy and value deeply. If it feels like 'mundane drudgery,' ask yourself why.

This is a lesson for those out there who may not grasp the logistical nightmare that is "making a movie". The moment you step on set, you're making compromises. David Fincher blames the rain in "Seven" on El Niño avclub.com/david-fincher-bla…
