Before Sean Baker made “The Florida Project,” he made my favorite Christmas movie, “Tangerine,” (2015), shot on iPhone5s. So good, I watch it every year.

It's me, Spike. Decades ago I put out a punk/new wave zine called "Spike" and people started calling me that and it stuck.
Posts are rooted in the idea that #ArtMatters; creative endeavor lets us access hard-to-reach feelings and emotions, asks challenging questions, exposes us to joy, hope and humanity and allows us to feel connected to ourselves and each other.

With frayed nerves on Election Night in the US on Nov. 8, the last thing I could put myself through was television news coverage treating the proceedings like it was the Super Bowl. So I watched the next-best metaphor, George Romero’s 1968 “Night of The Living Dead” on kanopy. Has there ever been a crisis in this country this movie couldn’t stand in for? And so it did with fascism’s relentless encroachment in the United States. I don’t need to tell you the movie’s a perfect object. #ghouls
