Do yourself—and the industry—a favor and make a point to watch one (true) newer indie movie a week. Wherever and however you’re able.
1.5-2 hour commitment. Easy for any schedule. No excuses.

really love what he had to say about the struggles of being an indie filmmaker today (and very similar to what brady corbet was talking about earlier this week). hope this is a message heard outside of the spirit awards as well so our artists receive the support they deserve.

Sean Baker wins Best Director at the Independent Spirit Awards and uses his speech to talk about the financial issues that independent filmmakers face and about not seeing independent films just as calling cards for something bigger. @Lilfilm

What a baller move to share the entire end credits of CONCLAVE to celebrate the praise it has received. It emphasizes the fact that movies are a collaborative effort and thar each and every person here contributed to a phenomenal work of art that deserves the recognition.

UnitedHealth has overcharged some cancer patients for medicine by over 1,000%.
An FTC report finds that OptumRx, United Health's pharmacy benefit manager, has made billions by charging patients a huge markup for life-saving drugs.

Heartbroken by the number of GoFundMe pages I’m seeing. Heartbroken that those people need it, that I can’t support each one, & heartbroken & enraged that in the world’s richest goddamn country, it still comes down to GoFundMes when it shouldn’t. The system’s beyond broken.

We are getting reports of HUNDREDS of dogs being turned into shelters because of the fires. We never needed fosters & adopters more than now. If you can foster or adopt in the LA area, please DM me. If you don't live in LA, please share this post. You never know who will see it.

A little rough around the edges but I quite liked Smile As You Kill, Michael’s screenplay is sharp and the actors really sell the desperation of the situation. Would make a good double bill w/ @UpdateTheGrids’s Failed State
"SMILE AS YOU KILL" is now available on VOD.
If you like contained crime thrillers with dark comedy, this one is for you.
STORY: A sick man kidnaps a hotshot advertising director and forces him to create an online campaign for treatment. With both of their lives at stake.
Please consider renting or purchasing it. Yes, there are tons of free movies to stream, but none feature two men bickering over a crowdfunding ad at gunpoint.
I got to work with a talented team of people, and we completed the entire shoot in 12 1/2 days. The two co-lead performances got recognized for their intensity, and we also picked up several "Best Feature" awards on the regional festival circuit.
If you enjoy the film, please give it a rating, leave a review on @letterboxd, @RottenTomatoes, @IMDb, and consider sharing it with others.
Word-of-mouth is the only way indie films like this one can get noticed. With the recent assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, I believe the film certainly captures the anger and desperation shared by far too many people.
Thank you for checking it out, if you've made it this far. Film is available on @PrimeVideo, @FandangoNOW, @GooglePlay, @AppleTV, XBox movies, and DVD.
"there's room at the top
they are telling you still
but first you must learn
how to SMILE AS YOU KILL"

My favorite part about running this account is helping promote high quality, low-budget independent films. One of those films is the independent thriller SMILE AS YOU KILL. This story could not be more relevant: SMILE AS YOU KILL is about a sick man who is denied health insurance, so he kidnaps an advertising director and forces the director to create a crowdfunding campaign for life-saving treatment. It’s almost as if this film predicted the Luigi-UnitedHealthcare killing before it happened.
As of this morning, SMILE AS YOU KILL is available for home rental on AppleTV, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu), Google Play, XBox Movies, and DVD. If you need a good weekend thriller & want to support independent films, I highly recommend giving SMILE AS YOU KILL a chance.
