Dropping Molly (2024)

Been loving all the content normalizing mental health
Chasing Time (2024)

You've been a good little camera.
The Last Observers (2024)

We've had a damn good life.
Death of a Unicorn (2025)
★★★

It really is the comedy horror era, and this was just some good ol’ fashioned fun.
I enjoyed the character building and natural/quippy dialogue. I didn’t enjoy the camera work.
Hotel Chevalier (2007)

This is the closest we may ever get to Wes giving us a non-Wes film.
Princess Mononoke (1997)
★★★★

Got to see the 4K remaster in IMAX 😍
Anora (2024)
★★★★

Rewatching let me really sit back and take in the Sean Baker style. Especially since I’ve seen Tangerine between then and now, I really see the evolution of how Sean uses a camera and deep character building to make stories come to life. I also loved being able to let the photography wash over me and feel the breaths in the story more.
Halfrican American (2024)
★★★★
½

This was a ton of fun! I really felt the message of "otherness" and then, eventually, the feeling of belonging, and the journey to get us from one feeling to the other in a funny and warm, comforting way was just a joy.
This won Best Short Film at the Boulder International Film Festival, and Zeke gave a short Q&A after the screening.
Spacewoman (2024)
½

A well-told story about an incredible woman. The access to both home- and NASA-footage made this story complete, and I’m glad we got to hear from her family a considerable amount.
The Day Iceland Stood Still (2023)
★★★★

“Make good trouble, necessary trouble.”
A lovely telling of an important moment in history for the world. Great animation and I loved the interviews, especially because the intended audience is specifically the rest of the world (as evidenced by the reveals of who some of our interviewees were at the end).
