We're not talking enough about the insane success of @BoulderLight’s BUDDY. Acquired by Roadside out of Sundance with no MG - and now it’s crossing $25M domestic - about to pass THE INVITE, Sundance’s $12M+ sale to A24. One of the true indie successes of 2026!
Well said.
The Obsession art director post. Man, what a choice.
One year total experience. Only credit pre-Obsession is a single short film. Sign on to a low budget indie. Agree to rate. Movie explodes. You're suddenly the Art Director fo the most talked about film of the year.
If this ever happens to you, let me give one piece of advice. Embrace it. Use the credit to fight off offers, get a BTL agent, turn those difficult three weeks into an incredible career.
Do NOT cut every connection you have to the filmmakers, put out tweets about how you wish you'd shut down their production, and complain about the rate you agreed to (which isn't even like $100 or some student film sketchiness).
Do you know how many indies I have done as an actor for $240/day? A fucking lot. Every single time I know what I'm getting into and I hope to god it turns out well and leads to another opportunity. I cannot even imagine getting cast in Obsession and then putting out a career ruining post about it instead of trying to leverage it into more work.

My brain keeps parsing this as 'Paddington: Escape From New York' and I need StudioCanal to know I would pay real money to watch Paddington navigate a post-apocalyptic Manhattan with nothing but a hard stare and a marmalade sandwich.

If you work in film and you haven't read Franklin's brilliant marching orders for the industry in 2026, you're missing out.

RIP Tom Lehrer. An absolute comedy GOAT. The legend that inspired the likes of Weird Al, Randy Newman, Bo Burnham, and countless others.

It's 2025, and phone call quality is still a joke. Dropped calls, choppy audio, endless 'Can you hear me?' It's deeply offensive how bad the average call is.
