The second part of Louise Weard's epic comes to The Forum THIS SUNDAY with @seattletransfilmfest.org ! CASTRATION MOVIE ANTHOLOGY ii: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS trades slice-of-life sensibilities for a world of chaos that can be described as "trans AFTER HOURS on speed."

Panning for Gold: Will Sloan on Ed Wood What is there left to say about Edward D. Wood, Jr. that hasn’t already been in the 45 years since he was crowned the β€œWorst Director of All Time” in Harry and Michael Medved’s 1980 book, The Golden T...

Very nice interview I did with the estimable @schlockvalue.bsky.social for Screen Slate on Ed Wood, in advance of my NYC launch.

Monika Treut came to my undergrad college and did a workshop with the school's one filmmaking class and we were... absolutely not ready for anything she had on offer. A filmmaker who operates on her own frequency. Look for VIRGIN MACHINE.

@muscledistribution.bsky.social’s new packaged Monika Treut retrospective opens at Anthology Film Archives in NYC next Saturday! I’m so proud to be helping to get these films back out in North America again, and I really REALLY hope folks make it out to see them.

Admittedly had never heard of Monika Treut before Liz showed me this trailer for the program and, based purely on this, I am now kind of obsessed and need to see them all.
