When Omar & I flew to film this, our plane had to stop at like, 11pm, about 4hr away from where we needed to be. We drove that same night till the sun came up so we would make sure this was filmed as planned. Nothing quite beats late night driving with donuts. Excited to see this!!
Here's the trailer for our upcoming documentary on Celebrating 20 Years of Guild Wars that we were commissioned by @guildwars2.com to make via @lostandfound.media!

Premieres this Wednesday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpm2...

Everybody should play Freezeezy Peak at this time of year at least once.

It's Twinkly season after all.

New episode of “The Backdrop” up at @secondwindgroup.com, in which we consider Dan Trachtenberg’s approach to “Predator: Badlands.”

And ask the question, “What even is a Predator movie, anyway? What is it that makes something a Predator movie?”

It might be a good time to check-in on the complicated relationship between streaming and theatres, the delicate balance that exists between the two, and why it’s not all Netflix and chill.

Feels like 6 months, let alone two years!
This was a really emotional, personal and reflective script for me to write. @ericweichhart.com did a great job of grabbing all kinds of great archive material to bring it all together in the edit.

On the eve of our second anniversary of Second Wind, here's a really personal story.

The production value on Second Wind video essays by @thejenna.bsky.social is insane. I can't believe it's 2025 and here I am being enthralled by ✨horse armor✨ discourse. You'd think by now it's beating a dead, uh, you know.
