We did it!

I came way late to this movie and man, it's beautiful and this essay is great.

Fantastic bookstore to keep on your browsing/searching list. I got @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social's female directors book (autographed!) from there and their curated selection is primo stuff. Most recently bought Robert McGinnis and Frazetta art books worth their weight in gold (but paid much less)

Matt is simply the best. I owe so much of who I am as a writer and as a person to him. He’s an endlessly supportive force and his and Judith’s bookstore is a necessary and rich resource.

Y’all I need FIVE more followers on my new silent film IG to hit my goal for the week. Help a girl out ✨✨✨
