Hear me out. This exact same idea but you screen actual short films. First one’s on me: youtu.be/MVgnL_ylM3o?...
Tomorrow, filmmaker Noam Kroll releases his new project, TEACHER'S PET, on digital.
Recently, EoM Contributor @winsteadsreviews.bsky.social sat down with Kroll and cast members @lukebarnett.bsky.social & @barbaracrampton.bsky.social to discuss their work on the project. #TeachersPet
Purchased TEACHER’S PET…links *live*…can’t wait to dig into the thrills #NoamKroll &Co have in store. Already know @lukebarnett.bsky.social to be a powerful yet nuanced performer, @barbaracrampton.bsky.social delivers smart + heart with every part, #MichelleTorian gleams with promise. Bring it.
Oh hey, thank you!
Someone in the trailer comments called me "B-Team Gary Oldman" and you know what? Fuck yeah. Gonna tell my agent to use that from now on.

What a journey. Dark Winds Season 4 trailer is here. Grateful to be a part of a show I genuinely love, alongside actors I've long admired. I don't take it lightly.
Series returns 2/15 on AMC and AMC Plus.
Can't say enough about everyone involved in this show. #DarkWinds

When they look like they have had a bunch of work done and hired a trainer, they’re not relatable (and boring). They're just a commercial for botox and ozempic.
I guess what I’m saying is cast me in your show if you want to save Hollywood.
The various breakdowns about how movies look now VS how they used to look are great, but I also think casting is a big part of it.
The early to mid-2000’s have pushed overly polished, generic looking leads. When the characters we follow look and feel like real people, real people relate to them.
Coca-Cola spent millions of dollars on 70,000 prompts for their AI ad.
We made whatever this is for $3 in 45 minutes.
You’re welcome, Pepsi.

me now vs me when someone casts me as a series regular on their television show
This book was so damn good. Great reminder of what made cinema of the 70’s so incredible. Authenticity was everything. Character actors as leads. Interesting over beautiful. Hollywood taking risks. It’s coming back. I see it in all the great indies and original horror. I’m ready.
@lukebarnett.bsky.social and Noam Kroll – who created viral short, Ovation (inspired by endless Cannes standing Os) –bypassed the festival circuit to immediately release the project online, racking up nearly 1M views. – @indiewire.com

Holy shit this concept. And from two of the best dudes. Love to fucking see it.
Yeah, Ovation is pretty good.

Thanks so much, Sam.
Hey, thank you so much!
Brutal short film by @lukebarnett.bsky.social
"It was inspired by watching Joaquin Phoenix during ‘Eddington’s’ ovation at Cannes. You can tell it affected him and meant a lot… for about 45 seconds. After that, I’m guessing his soul slowly and uncomfortably died."
