A wonderful film - and I'm delighted that my maiden voyage into the world of audio commentaries was on the FunCityEditions release which I co-hosted with Bill Ackerman of SupportingCharacters.

Here’s a photo of me from the A WOMAN OF THE DARKEST DEEDS short film shoot, courtesy of the fantastic Izabela Szczutkowska.

One of the greatest films ever made opened in London 44 years ago today.

Portrait of Corinne Dacla from 1988.

We screened PEEPING TOM at Triskel Arts Centre back in January of this year. It holds up really well on the big screen, I have to say.

Coming Soon: a new project is in the works.

On the latest episode of Just The Discs Podcast Jonathan Hertzberg of FunCityEditions and Rupert Pupkin discuss the DEEP IN THE HEART Blu-Ray and mention the audio commentary by Erica Shultz and myself.

Irene Papas in THE TROJAN WOMAN (1971), a film by Michael Cacoyannis.

I saw this Michael Winterbottom film many, many times on the big screen. The shot on video blown up to 35mm imagery was soft, blurry and ugly compared to conventional film but it was a unique aesthetic which a lot of independent films of the period shared.

Inspired by Larry Karaszewski’s post referring to the ‘Dan Money’ SCTV sketch the other day, I’m posting it here. RIP Joe Flaherty.

As research for an upcoming project I’m watching a lot of Italian films with no English subtitles. It’s a process that really lets you appreciate an actor’s screen presence.

50 years ago today, MEAN STREETS opened in London. Back in 2009 I made my first experimental short film somewhat inspired by the Scorsese movie: vimeo.com/213552760

One of the great underrated American films of the seventies. I was delighted to have contributed a video essay to the Imprint Films release of this.
