Yesterday’s in theatre double feature. Both hit me on an emotional level, but in completely different ways. A great day at the movies!

Are there any good examples of films that are theatrical in nature that mostly take place on a stage. Not unlike the musical numbers in CHICAGO, but also not quite a “filmed play,” if that makes sense. A film that uses cinematic language through the lens of theatrics.

Saw SUPERMAN for a second time tonight, and man, does this thing soar. Loved it so much more on this rewatch. Would make a good double feature with The Iron Giant.

Was laid off today and am now in search of work! I have experience in:

• Video Production
• Video Editing
• Writing
• Graphic Design
• Podcast Production
• Photography
• Digital Marketing
• Voice Over
• Storytelling

I know a lot about movies, music, books and pop culture, too!

Thunderbolts* (2025): They forgot to switch over the 3-D filter for the first 15 minutes of the movie, then when they realized what happened, they stopped the movie and showed a blank screen for another 15 minutes before restarting, so in a sense, I too know what it’s like to stare into the void.

Some shots from tonight’s Geordie Greep Show at the Observatory OC.

Always a pleasure, @newbeverly.bsky.social

Still buzzing after last night’s album release show celebrating Tunde Adebimpe’s first solo record Thee Black Boltz at Zebulon. The album sounded great live, and have been listening to it nonstop since! @subpop.bsky.social.

So today’s already been an all-timer.

A long-awaited return to @thefridacinema.org to reconnect with The Royal Tenenbaums.

Had fun at WonderCon catching up with old friends!

A HUGE congratulations to Lauren Wolfer for an incredible weekend at the movies. The Palm Springs 70MM Festival was so much fun, and I can’t think of a better theater to see these incredible films. Looking forward to next year!

This weekend! The Palm Springs 70MM Fest brings 2001: A Space Odyssey, Vertigo, Lawrence of Arabia, & Interstellar to the desert in glorious 70MM film! If you’re a movie lover in LA/OC, I encourage you to make the drive. It’s going to be a fantastic. tinyurl.com/5n7trrme

Saw it last night and had a fantastic time! Was grateful that the theatre was full where I saw it up in Burbank. So funny. Glad to have seen it!

It’s been about 8 months for me, and I’m dreading the day I take a sip again in July lol (if I even do!)

Some recent wedding photos I did for the Kaufmans! More on IG (@samuelsmithpresents)!

LOVE HER omg

When one of your favorite movies and one of your favorite musicals are both playing on the same day, you go out of your way to seek both of them out!

1. Don Hertzfeldt’s World of Tomorrow trilogy at Vidiots.

2. Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 at UCLA School of Theatre

Looking for bands in a similar vein to The White Stripes. Know of any? Or maybe you are one! Send me some recs!

Blown away by tonight’s Jack White ( @officialjackwhite.bsky.social ) show. A mix of old and new. Finally hearing The Hardest Button to Button and Seven Nation Army live was transcendent.

Some recent engagement photos I shot in sunny Old Towne Orange (where they shot That Thing You Do!).

Saturday at the Movies (and one at home).

Painted poster for the film La Chimera

…meanwhile I was over here hoping for @criterion.bsky.social to announce a physical media release of a different Neon title…

‪Had the chance to meet producer Lauren Wolfer at another 70MM fest at this theatre and became fast friends; honored to be helping out with this fest. So come on out to the desert, make new friends, and see some incredible films at an incredible theatre, the largest in the desert!‬

Experience cinema like never before!

The Palm Springs 70MM Fest, presented by MUBI, brings 4 iconic films to life in breathtaking 70mm at the Palm Springs Cultural Center's Historic Camelot Theatre.
