My essay on No Country For Old Men and Darwinism is now LIVE (LINK IN BIO) . For years I’ve admired this film because it’s beautifully shot, acted, and written, but I always felt like the descriptions of Chigurh that I had heard fell short of truly capturing what he, “is.” So here’s my humble attempt at it. . It’s been a while since I released a film essay because of the incredible challenge it poses for me (a challenge that might not be apparent to readers). The challenge is only worthwhile because I know that a handful of people will read it (whether they agree with the thesis or not). So if you do take the time to read it, let me know what you think! . #film #filmessay #writer #acting #philosophy #darwin #naturalselection #survival #nocountryforoldmen
Homemade Serrano Chile infused Mayo. As spicy as it is flavorful. Now to go rest my whisking arm for a couple months.
I’ll be releasing a new film essay on No Country For Old Men and Darwinism next week. It’s been a while, but this one spoke to me. Excited to share it with you.
The Virgin Spring, Ingmar Bergman (1960)
We lost a lot today. RIP Stephen Hawking Watching A Brief History of Time, one of my favorite documentaries.
For all intents and purposes, today my documentary short, “Lingua Francas” is DONE. That being the case I decided to celebrate by opening up a bottle of Collaboration, a bottle of @mothersbrewing MILF aged in Heaven Hill Rye Barrels overseen by @progresspopups . Incredible stuff — and I still have one bottle left. Over the next couple weeks I’ll be releasing the premiere information as well as lining up subsequent showings.

“This is how it always ends. With death. But first there was life. Hidden beneath the blah, blah, blah. It's all settled beneath the chitter chatter and the noise. Silence and sentiment. Emotion and fear. The haggard, inconstant flashes of beauty. And then the wretched squalor and miserable humanity. All buried under the cover of the embarrassment of being in the world, blah, blah, blah... Beyond there is what lies beyond. I don't deal with what lies beyond. Therefore... let this novel begin. After all... it's just a trick. Yes, it's just a trick.” The Great Beauty, Paolo Sorrentino (2012)
The average color of almost every shot in my documentary film, “Lingua Francas” from beginning to (almost) end. The first thing that’s clear is you can really see the difference in color between the scenes that take place in Copenhagen versus the scenes in Springfield (the blue being Copenhagen and the warmer tones being Springfield). Second, you can see pace. While each scene is relatively similar in length, the scenes in Copenhagen are comprised of longer takes, which means it has less slices of color on the spectrum. Since the grade was finished I wanted to see it on this spectrum, which was an effective practice, but it’s also a good way of getting a comprehensive look at the way your film is working.
