My teen asked why I don't watch more Hitchcock. Told him it's math class & I'm more of a music feel type guy. Respect da hell outta his precision but I could never hold that tightly. I'm the ultimate collaborator.

Oxtail isn't "soul food" it's very West Indian/Caribbean. But anyway 2, 8, 12

#NowWatching: Black Caesar (1973) Larry Cohen establishes the power dynamic immediately. One man's shoe sits elevated while young Tommy Gibbs kneels beneath it, shining. The question isn't whether Tommy wants out of that position—it's whether he wants to become the man wearing the shoe. 🎬 #SCCPC #LosAn

#NowWatching: Mean Streets (1973) Johnny Boy is basically a darker, more dangerous version of Smokey from Friday (1995). 😂 Both are lovable dumbasses whose friends gotta deal wit the consequences of their bs. Smokey's a hoot. Johnny Boy is a walking, talking catastrophe. 💀 🎬 #SCCPC #LosAngeles

#NowWatching: Mean Streets (1973) Is Charlie actually pursuing redemption, or just lying to himself? 🎬 #SCCPC #LosAngeles

Running some vintage exploitation trailers before today's screening of Mean Streets (1973). Half the fun of having a cinema is recreating the experience of going to the movies. 🎬🍿 #SCCPC

🎬 Now Playing at South Central Cinema Private Club: THE STREETS DON'T FORGIVE 🗽🔫 Mean Streets (1973) + Black Caesar (1973) TWO MEN. ONE CITY. DIFFERENT RULES. Two visions of New York's criminal underworld in 1973. Scorsese follows a man struggling to find his place within the system. Larry Cohen follows one determined to conquer it. Loyalty, ambition, race, and the price of power on the streets of New York. 🍿 #SCCPC #LosAngeles

Hollywood is full of people who want to make movies. There are far fewer people who actually make them. At some point, the ability to finish something becomes more valuable than the ability to talk about how great it could be. In fact, there is probably no better quality you can have as a writer or filmmaker than being someone who does what they say they’re going to do.

I just attached to direct a really solid horror script. Hyper contained (3 actors, 1 location), tight script, very scary. Swings big at the end. My team probably won’t take it out till the top of the year but if any producers (ideally with financing) who follow me want a sneak, DM me.
