Great to see the @nytimes spotlight Kodak's film manufacturing and the talented people behind it.
We're grateful to the filmmakers who continue to choose film. As demand for motion picture and still film grows, we're investing in innovation and capacity while leveraging the same coating and chemistry expertise used to make film to drive growth in batteries, pharmaceuticals, printed electronics, and advanced materials. nytimes.com/2026/09/12/arts/…

Hollywood is starting to change their system of talent selection. They are now making big bets on successful internet filmmakers. This is amazing news because the alternative was so political and cheesy and failing. It is a new dawn and I am so stoked about it.

Galaxy Quest is still pitch-perfect. The screenwriting, the performances, the directing.
It's one of my favorite examples of getting a wide-ranging tone just right.
It goes from comedically outlandish sci-fi to genuine character moments, and it never misses a beat of emotional truth in between.
That is so much harder to do than people realize. A truly remarkable feat.
I love this movie.

please spread this post: filmmakers, don't let a digital company / streamer lure you in if they're not going to do marketing for your movie. what they are really doing is buying the digital rights to your movie... so they can use them for... who knows what... down the road...

Oh, you're more of an "idea guy"? Brother, everyone is an idea guy. I can throw a rock and hit 5 people with ideas. The execution is EVERYTHING.

Sean Baker gives a speech about why movie theaters are better than streaming services and then Hulu goes down right before Best Picture is announced…case in point

If I’m gonna be fair these questions needs to be asked today.
Why is the release of the Epstein list always a shit show?
What’s the point of booting out illegals and criminals while somehow becoming a safe haven for the Tate brothers?
Why is Crypto in the toilet if Trump is crypto king?
How far does Tsla stock have to crash before Elon goes back to work?

I see a lot of people demanding to see receipts and they’re almost assuredly folks who don’t know a single person who has or is trying to make an independent film. I have multiple friends with many credits under their belt who have this exact life right now.
Brady Corbet, the BAFTA-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind “The Brutalist,” said he's made “zero dollars” from the film.
“I’ve spoken to many filmmakers with films nominated this year who can’t pay their rent,” Corbet said. “You’re not paid to promote a film.” variety.com/2025/film/awards…

Absolutely insane that, barely a year after ANYONE BUT YOU made $200 million worldwide, the studios responded by putting no rom-coms in theaters over Valentine's Day weekend.

#TheBrutalist director Brady Corbet on the AI controversy: “There’s, unfortunately, a lot of misinformation and disinformation that’s got out there, but this was actually incredibly meticulous work that was done by hand. And I really understand why people are so sensitive on this issue, but this was all frankly blown way out of proportion. The idea that this diminishes their performance in any way is quite silly — because that’s like saying that using a body double or a stunt double in a wide shot diminishes an actor’s performance because they didn’t actually do the stunt. They still had to do all the work, and [the AI] was only ever used with the Hungarian voice-over. Specifically, there is zero dialogue in English where we use the technology, period.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lFmTG
