This is so wonderful - thank you. Also forwarded to Dresage, who wrote all those songs. <3

Mekler Prints - Kirby Mekler Portfolio Photography prints by Kirby Mekler and Ben Mekler. After losing their home in the Eaton wildfire they decided to raise money by selling prints of their photos (mostly travel, film, nature and food).

Launched a Mekler Family Print Shop, all proceeds go towards rebuilding our house. We will close the shop in two weeks so we have time to fill orders before the holidays.

Photos by me in 35mm and 120, by Kirby in 35 and digital.

Love you, share with friends, thanks! www.kirbymekler.com/store

I've been at Fantastic Fest for nearly a week, and I have to absolutely shriek my praises for Curry Barker's OBSESSION.

The language of its cursed hysteria so closely resembles real-life mental illness - grounding the premise in a way that's still under my skin, hours later.

The Women’s List Unveils 2025 Scripts List Finalists, Spotlighting Unproduced Screenplays “We want this list to land on every desk in town — from producers and showrunners to actors and agents."

Though every script on the list is special, as a horror filmmaker I have to highlight @jennraisin.bsky.social 's IN THE VALLEY OF DARKNESS and @cityofangelle.bsky.social 's CUMBERLAND GAP - two terrific horror pilots, two exciting voices in our genre!

It's been a serious privilege to help curate this year's Women's List. The final list is an extraordinarily diverse range of stories worthy of the big (and small) screen.

The most valuable advice I've ever gotten in my career, and which I pass on here for the betterment of the next generation:

YOU are awesome. And thank you so much 🥹
