this little moment in SINNERS has been on my mind since opening night.

these 3 notes in sync with the match break the veil between film and audience. it plays so well into the film’s theme of music being a transcendent and spiritual voice in the world.

incredible.

Here's why 28 Years Later was shot on iPhone.

Can’t argue against that.

def a top 5

incredible. looks like a perfect everyday for 99% of people tired of their smartphone.

24 hours in New York City with the Fuji X100VI.

Miami with my iPhone.

Spent some time with @captaindisillusion.bsky.social and he’s the rare mix of being a real, genuinely nice person who just happens to also be insanely talented - but without the silver makeup, I can’t be sure it was actually him.

great trailer.

maybe you’ll enjoy it more going in knowing it’s a bit shite

THE FINAL RECKONING is a mess.

Overloaded with plot, oddly paced, and the score is the weakest in the franchise - but the set pieces hit hard.

There’s an underwater scene that rivals THE ABYSS.

I didn't like the film, but I really loved parts of it.

am I crazy or is this an insane amount of cheese for an in flight snack?

thinking about how I’m gonna afford to see Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY in IMAX because they filmed it in Greece instead of a warehouse in Burbank

You can see SINNERS in any format you want…
as long as it’s 1.43:1 70mm IMAX film projection.

We want movies to look like MOVIES! @impatrickt.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTU...

I just got a message from Dean Cundey’s wife saying that Nancy Meyers sent them my latest video about The Parent Trap, and they loved it.

Dean shot every movie that made me fall in love with filmmaking. I think I should just retire now.

🥲

Learned quite a bit from this (via @impatrickt.bsky.social):

i think Fantastic 4 and Superman both look great

just made this breakfast sandwich and then I ate it.

go me.

I know for a fact that many highly successful filmmakers also want to make YouTube videos, and they see it as a really viable way to not only promote their work but to learn and grow as a maker.

I like making movies and I like talking about movies, so I turned that into a career.

me asking brady corbet why the statue of liberty was upside down

incredible things happening in the cinematography subreddit

the vault / the take

we’re really living through an incredible chapter in the history of cinema

DeepSeek this DeepSeek that. How about you seek a DVD of DEEP BLUE SEA?

YouTube video by Patrick Tomasso How PRESENCE was shot from the POV of a ghost

If you saw PRESENCE over the weekend and want to learn more about how Soderbergh shot it, I made a video just for you.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this might just push you over the edge to grab a ticket.

They should release THE BRUTALIST on VHS so you have to get up and switch tapes at the intermission.

Villeneuve getting 2 best picture noms without a best director credit is starting to feel like a personal attack on Canada.

I know he's from Quebec but come on.

How can we have meaningful conversations about AI in filmmaking when we’re all in the middle of becoming professional colorists?

Let’s not change careers so quickly - we were just starting to get the hang of it.

DEN OF THIEVES: PANTERA - Calling this a “throwback” is dismissive. It’s what action films should be today.

A popcorn AND hot dog movie that proves DVD bin concepts can be elevated to greatness with the right crew.

Gerard Butler is Tom Cruise for guys that eat pretzels.
