New @filmquarterly.bsky.social issue dropped! Psyched to see our truly global "Franchise Everything" dossier with @cbrannondonoghue.bsky.social @alfredmartin.bsky.social @nitingovil.bsky.social @ncouret.bsky.social Reyna Denison and Marc Francis.

Whoa.
The overused word in every conversation and panel at TIFF this year is “authenticity.”
Congratulations!! 🎉
Girl, same.
I second this!!!
My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating floods across Texas—those who have lost loved ones & those still searching.
Many of the impacted families are from right here in Dallas. We’re mourning with you and praying for comfort, healing, & peace in the days ahead.
TX-30 stands with you.
Here’s one example:
Harris County, the 3rd largest county in America by population (5 million) and covering 1,703sqmi, is only permitted ONE MAIL BALLOT DROP BOX, on ELECTION DAY ONLY.
One mail ballot drop box. One day (technically, 12 hours) only. For 2.7M registered voters.
Y’all my book The Value Gap is at @tiffnet.bsky.social gift shop. What a thrill!! TIFF was an important site of fieldwork for this book & is my fav festival in the entire world. Really feels like coming full circle. (S/o @justinrawlins.bsky.social for the picture!)
Whaaaaaaat?! That’s so exciting! I will lose my mind if the book is there in Sept. Thank you for taking the pic!! 😊
The TIFF Lightbox giftshop?! 😮
Texas film incentive bill moves to the Governor's desk after passage by the House. The ten-year funding horizon represents a significant shift from prior every two year renewal cycle.

It takes all of 2 minutes to leave a public comment in favor of continuing to make COVID booster shots available to all who want them this year --> www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...
Push back on the bullies!
who could have foreseen that abandoning the brand name with immense value was a mistake??? Aside from every sentient human not named Zaslav????
I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.
As the box office press—or as we call them, the Asterisk People—were changing their tune on #Sinners after its second weekend, @kristenwarner.bsky.social and I had a conversation about the discord around the way they reported on its first.
Long story short? Facts and feelings don't mix.
Female cinematographers are far and few between. Per the annual industry report the Cellulod Ceiling, female DPs shot just 12 percent of the 250 top-grossing movies in 2024. So, when a high-profile male director hires women it’s a big deal; when he keeps hiring women it’s a big fucking deal.

White person's hand holding quarter size fliers that say "Support your SCMS colleagues. Call your rep and senators today to defend NEH." in all caps black on white paper. They are not well designed.
Graphic design is my passion. #scms25 #scms2025
Good morning Chicago! #scms25
Oh nooooooo
Boulder, Colorado. Wow.
Oh my.
She is simply the person I teach everywhere all the time. "Film bodies: gender, genre, excess" is a key text in all of film studies for me.
can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book
Also thrilled for Sean Baker and his creative collaborators. It is impossible to teach my indie film & festival classes without his work. Long live independent film!!! #oscars
Thrilled for Walter Salles & cinema brasileiro!!! He was a huge influence when I starting researching & writing about the Brazilian film industry back in grad school. #oscars
😍😍😍😍
Hulu ruining the Oscars is really poetic coming after Sean Baker’s speech about streaming services killing the movies
