Pioneer, dir. David Lowery (short, 2011)

Bonus Bonus. This short blew my mind. Parts & Labor turned me on to it, having befriended the director & producers at SXSW and Sundance and now I’m eager for whatever David Lowery will do next. This is the most intimate, believable, mysterious bedtime story a father (Will Oldham) could tell his son (four-year-old Myles Brooks), and Mr. Lowery filmed it in service to the key idea: “The story is great, but the movie is more about the fact that he is telling it.” The camera never leaves the bedroom, but the craft of cuts and natural beats between the boy and his father wil put a spell on you. 

What I want to see. Heard great things. Saw Ben Wheatley’s first pic, Down Terrace at Landmark Sunshine w/ M&C, knowing nothing about it. What starts as a Mike Leigh/Ken Loach-y understated working class family drama gets twisted quick - that’s what happens when a crime family bickers about disappointing sons, who is the snitch and who forgot to buy the milk. Kill List, don’t want to know any more…let’s go in together for the surprise.

Band of Brothers marathon is on the telly. Every male actor you want in your movies now was in this mini-series. Fassbender, Tom Hardy, James McAvoy, Damian Lewis, even Jimmy Fallon. I watch it annually, like every other red-blooded American man. RIP Col. Winters (1918 - 2011). 

Family in Prospect Park. Merry Xmas everyone.

How to edit a scene, by Angus Wall & Kirk Baxter for Fincher’s GWTDT.

Angus Wall has edited the last five movies directed by David Fincher — the three most-recent (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “The Social Network” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”) in partnership with Kirk Baxter. Earlier this year, Wall and Baxter won the Oscar for Best Achievement in Film Editing for “The Social Network,” and while they each work on outside projects ­ — Wall created the arresting title sequence for HBO’s “Game of Thrones” — they spend much of their time in adjacent rooms, cutting and splicing copious amounts of Fincher’s footage. Wall explains the key to editing like this: “The human brain wants to put things together; it wants to create a narrative.” Their job is to facilitate that desire.

Dear people of the earth, Christmas came early. Last Friday, I got a full-time job in film. That’s right, after 20+ months of self-reliance, failing harder and melancholia, luck broke my way. Come January 3rd, I’ll be joining Killer Films as the assistant to producers/co-founders, Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler. These legendary women have been bringing the kind of indie films that stick in your head (Kids, Velvet Goldmine, Boys Don’t Cry, I’m Not There, Mildred Pierce) since ‘95. I cannot wait. And I couldn’t have survived this uncertain journey without my family, true friends and many many escapes to the movies. Here’s to you! Love, ohmovies.
