Just in time for Halloween, I'm publishing an interview with Emma Higgins about her CanCon horror-thriller, Sweetness, about a crazy fan. For my Canadian oomphs, the film is streaming on Crave. afilmdiary.substack.com/p/ca…

My interview with Nathan Donovan about his film Clubfoot. A really fascinating discussion on his work with non-actors (his brothers), adoption and the influence of filmmakers like Bresson, Costa and Kiarostami afilmdiary.substack.com/p/on…

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s “You Can See Everything” has a real shot at becoming the first nonfiction best picture nominee. Its biggest obstacle might be the Academy's own documentary branch. “Sometimes it feels less like we’re judging the work and more like we’re judging only who we know,” one documentary branch member tells Variety. “That’s frustrating. You can make the most formally ambitious documentary of the decade, but if people have already decided they love another filmmaker, or they’ve seen them at enough dinners and screenings, you don’t stand a chance.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHV5L

My friends are still looking for someone to take over their lease. Great for students who have classes near Loyola! It's the neighborhood I grew up in and is really nice, lots of cafes and grocery stores.

A key to understanding Nathan Fielder is understanding that so-called Canadian politeness conceals a deep dark evil
