I got a new student ID at St. Lawrence University. They must have retired my old number.

I was looking for any early mentions of the Toronto Blue Jays prior to their first season when I found this Christmas ad page from the Mayville Sentinel, December 23, 1976.

One actor. One background. One drone operator. And me. That’s it.

No third and fourth takes. No safety net. Just pure precision filmmaking in the cold morning air.

I'm counting down to sunrise on October 15 at Taughannock Falls where the light, the mist, and the clock are all part of the challenge.

We’ll have just 41 minutes between the first light at 7:19 am and park access cutoff at 8:00, braving 38Β° temps to nail three shots: one on iPhone, two by drone.

Traditionally, we see these characters in films or shows where the diagnosis/label drives the story, and that's not how most people meet neurodivergent individuals. I'd like to see it more common to include it without making it the most important focus.

I'll be thinking about this again when I'm on campus to finish my BA next semester.

I hope he's got a nice place to display it down there.

I’m fascinated when writers, actors, and directors create characters who embody dimensions of neurodivergent people and lifestyles, even when the story doesn’t name it outright. These portrayals can resonate deeply, offering glimpses of representation where it might not otherwise be acknowledged.

Are there characters in movies or TV series you’ve watched who seem to display traits of neurodivergence, without being overtly labeled as having ADHD, autism, or another diagnosis?

When social media makes me lose faith in humanity again and again, I remind myself Captain Kirk hasn’t even been born yet.

My visit to the PCD Kiwanis 18th Annual Car Cruise & Fall Festival in Corfu, New York, was about as much time travel as I wanted right now.

His 13-yard field goal opened the scoring that day, the first 3 of 31 points for the Bills.

As the screenwriter of a biopic about Pete’s life and legacy, I’m proud to honor the moment that changed the game forever.

Happy anniversary to Pete Gogolak, the pioneer of soccer-style kicking in pro football. On September 13, 1964, he made history with the Buffalo Bills, scoring the very first points of this kind in a win over the Kansas City Chiefs at War Memorial Stadium.

I start with the assumption that people won't get my sense of humor.

We’re keeping our crew lean and nimble to honor the landscape and keep the focus on performance and story. For those who love filmmaking grounded in real history, natural beauty, and bold themes, this is the kind of shoot we live for.

In the story, a social media influencer crosses a protected border, assuming his nationality will shield him from consequence. What follows challenges ideas of privilege, belonging, and perception, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Finger Lakes region.

This fall, The Nativist will be filming a pivotal scene in the heart of New York State at a stunning waterfall surrounded by peak autumn foliage, on land once stewarded by the Haudenosaunee. The location is as symbolic as it is cinematic.

An alien attack on Independence Day seems kind of familiar.

With all the movie spoilers out there, I’m stunned no one mentioned Stephen Miller's cameo as the German chancellor in The Boys in the Boatβ€”complete with his own fascist cosplay.
