watched more than the previous year, but still just shy of 365 in 2025. so many great theater experiences, i highlighted some favorite first-time watches on each slide. go support your local cinemas (like @thetaraatlanta & @plazaatlanta ), video stores (like @videodrome_atl ) and gather often with friends to share incredible (and sometimes sloppy) stories. any recent favorites? first-time watches? or films i should i add to my 2026 watchlist?

Possibly the most excited I’ve been for a @reelfriendsmovies event. Join us @thetaraatlanta on Monday, April 7th at 8 PM for a showcase of five Atlanta short films, followed by live director commentaries and a mixer in the lobby— aptly titled ‘Reel Talk’. A music video I directed will play alongside these great projects by some of my favorite (and more talented) filmmakers: When We Were Kids (dir. this guy 🕺) Beautyosity (dir. @zachsolberg0292 ) Two Ships (dir. @mcknley @kenzielizbenson ) Vague Recollections of Being Previously Human (dir. @costakaralis ) I Could Dom (dir. @madhat31 ) Tickets linked in bio. Please come out. I want to do more of these.
