I produced 100+ home video releases distributed by @kinolorber.com in 2025 - here are some of my favorites:

Our documentaries picked up 7 nominations at the Cinema Eye Honors. A huge congratulations to all the film teams on this well deserved recognition!

If you haven’t already—make a plan to vote, vote Zohran Mamdani for mayor, and remember to flip your ballot to vote on the six ballot proposals!

Cuomo is going on Fox News in order to court Sliwa voters that he needs to win the election, and they want, uh, red meat conservative politics so he's giving it to them

I would submit to New York City voters that the guy telling Republicans he'll be the mayor they want is probably telling the truth

Quote of the cycle: “Cuomo is despair.” 🤣

If someone claims to be scared of the subway but isn’t scared of being in a car on the highway—which is exponentially more dangerous + deadly—they are not a serious person

I have always liked how often it is full of people reading books.

Here's the kicker!

Now we know this approach, adopted by a broad coalition, can win a citywide race.

This coalition can become the new Democratic Party that Brooklyn has needed for so long—one that builds grassroots support, one that wins elections, and one that delivers for every community!

About last night! 🧵

Back in January, NKD landed on a coalition strategy as the best chance to win this mayoral race. Inspired by a @nywfp.bsky.social proposal, we planned our first multi-candidate endorsement. In February we endorsed four candidates for mayor and urged our allies to do the same.

Custody is excellent and underrated

More than 40 years before “RuPaul's Drag Race", this ground-breaking documentary about the 1967 Miss All-American Camp Beauty Pageant introduced audiences to the world of competitive drag.

An indispensable resource for Brooklyn Democrats. I'm in awe of all the work that went into this.

The 2025 Primary is on June 24 and early voting starts TODAY! Make a plan to vote! Don't rank Cuomo!

BREAKING: I’m honored to share that @aoc.bsky.social has endorsed our campaign! She represents the bold, transformative leadership our city and country urgently need. I’m proud to stand with her in the fight to defeat fascism and build a just, inclusive New York City for all.

Milestone Films Will Be Given Away to Maya Cade of the Black Film Archive The distributor’s owners, Amy Heller and Dennis Doros, made the unusual choice to give it away. Their successor is Maya Cade of the Black Film Archive.

Big news from our friends at Milestone Films! We have loved working with @mayascade.bsky.social on the releases of Bridgett M. Davis's NAKED ACTS and Charles Burnett's THE ANNIHILATION OF FISH and KILLER OF SHEEP and can't wait for this new chapter together. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/m...

🏫The NYC public school system is a marvel, serving nearly a million students and employing 130,000 teachers and staff. 🏫

But the fact is, Andrew Cuomo fought time and again as governor to lower funding to NYC public schools.

As mayor, he can’t be trusted to put students first.

State aid for NYC’s public health services was cut in 2019. Advocates want it back. In 2019, Gov. Cuomo cut the state reimbursement rate for NYC’s public health services. Each year, the city loses up to $90 million for TB control and other core programs. This budget season, city lead...

House Republicans aren't the only ones cutting health care funding...

Andrew Cuomo already cut public health payments to NYC by $90 million per year!

"This was specifically a hit at New York City, deliberately done by then-Governor Cuomo"

Here are all the years Andrew Cuomo as governor raided MTA coffers or cut MTA revenue for things like bailing out upstate ski resorts:

💰2011
💰2013
💰2014
💰2015
💰2016
💰2020
(He tried again in 2021 before he had to resign!)

He's promising to "fix" the systems that were broken by his own mismanagement

Q: What do Bill Ackman, Anthony Scaramucci, Tanya Zuckerbrot, Randy Levine, Jonathan Kushner, and Geoffrey Berman have in common?

A: They're prominent Trump supporters who are funding Andrew Cuomo's campaign for mayor.

Yikes!

Andrew Cuomo's reputation for COVID leadership was built on a series of lies.

New Yorkers should remember the truth when they head to the polls 👇

We're thrilled to announced our release of Shoshannah Stern's MARLEE MATLIN: NOT ALONE ANYMORE in theaters starting June 20! In this innovative Sundance and Tribeca premiere, the Oscar®-winning Deaf actress reflects on her life and career, and the complexities of being a trailblazer.

Urška Djukić's LITTLE TROUBLE GIRLS is now an official Tribeca selection!

We'll be releasing this ravishing coming-of-age story about a young woman's sexual awakening during a Catholic school choir trip in theaters this fall.

"This is a worshipful film, adoring of guns, of gold, of the human body, and of cinema itself. Supplicate yourself before it." – Katie Rife, The A.V. Club

LET THE CORPSES TAN is now available to stream on Kino Film Collection: knlor.com/corpsestan

If I’ve already let them scan my face a few times is it recommended to opt out in future or is it too late to matter?
