Smash the Gatekeepers: Radical Filmmaking in Times of Crisis 🎥🔥
Drawing on decades of frontline media experience—from subMedia to Democracy Now! to Al Jazeera—this talk explores how filmmakers can serve movements, not markets. We’ll unpack the ethics of “release and share” filmmaking, the dangers of media hoarding, and how rapid video can fuel real-world resistance.

🧵The Secret Mall Apartment
In theaters 21 Mar 2025
“In an era when so many documentaries feel manufactured for maximum emotional impact, “Secret Mall Apartment” stands out for its authenticity. It doesn’t need to tell us that it’s exploring profound themes about human nature. Instead, it shows humans being resourceful, creative and connected in extraordinary circumstances.”
“The secret mall apartment is an art collective. They aren't just individual artists hoping to make a quick buck but are actually obsessed with something that lies beyond that.”

More of this, less of Hollywood's endlessly recycled schlock.

This evening's viewing distraction: continuing my mini-season of choosing more unusual #vampire flicks from my collection, with Ana Lily Amirpour's rather cool 2014 "Iranian Vampire Western", A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night
Also, skateboarding vampire gal!

"Nights. Nights without sleep. Long nights in which the brain lights up like a big city..."
This evening's viewing distraction, unusual "arthouse horror" vamp flick, Michael Almereyda's Najda (financed by David Lynch, who cameos), with Elina Löwensohn, Galaxy Craze, Peter Fonda (as a deranged Van Helsing) & Hal Hartley regular, Martin Donovan.

And that is not a problem we, as creators of #TTRPGs or #IndyFilm, have the ability to fix.
So while it is great to keep calling for better wages, to value art and the creation of it, to ask for fair compensation for a product, you have to understand that nothing else in the economic spiderweb allows for it.
Anyway, on a completely related note, where's my guillotine?
🧵I gotta be honest. W/ the *entire* economy being a spiderweb where, when you pull on one strand all the others are immediately affected by the vibration, it seems virtually impossible for the #TTRPG or #IndyFilm industry to come to any tangible fixes for wages/profitability/etc...
To increase the wages of all involved in the creation process (a noble intent, mind you) it means that the product (book, film, app, whatever) has to be more profitable to support that level of pay.
