_Preview_ at the Tara Theatre! Thank you Reel Friends for screening _Preview_ at the @taraatlanta.bsky.social. It's a unique short film that has great commentary about Al. It was also great speaking with director Quinn Orear, who's also an Associate Chair of Film & TV at SCAD!

Honk at the Tara Theatre! Thank you Reel Friends for screening Honk at @taraatlanta.bsky.social. I first saw Honk at the Buried Alive Film Festival in November last year. It was great seeing the film again and it was exciting to speak with @lauzirika.bsky.social at the mixer after the screenings!

The Tara Theatre in Atlanta! My next movie theater stop is @taraatlanta.bsky.social. This was a unique Regal theater that was bought by Chris Escobar. It has become part of Atlanta’s independent cinema dynamic duo, along with @plazaatlanta.bsky.social. The Tara also hosts the Atlanta Film Festival!

Nice @squidthusiast.bsky.social! 👍🏻

Max Wright @maxwrightscad.bsky.social · Mar 28

That’s awesome @crobertcargill.bsky.social!

Max Wright @maxwrightscad.bsky.social · Mar 25

The visuals were great @scottderrickson.bsky.social! Dan Lausten did a great job with the film’s cinematography. Also, the bottom of The Gorge and the design of the Hollow Men feels reminiscent of Alex Garland’s adaptation of Annihilation.

Death of a Unicorn is a different beast! Thank you A24 and Atlanta Film Society for the preview screening of Death of a Unicorn at @taraatlanta.bsky.social.
It's a creative dark comedy with a great ensemble cast. Highly recommend this film when it comes out on March 28th! #DeathOfAUnicorn #A24

Max Wright @maxwrightscad.bsky.social · Mar 13

Definitely locked into this movie! Thank you @theavenue.film for the fun Atlanta preview screening of David Yarovesky's new film Locked.
A tight fast paced thriller with excellent performances by Bill Skarsgärd and Anthony
Hopkins. #LockedMovie

That’s awesome @crobertcargill.bsky.social! I’ve heard about the game and it actually sounds like a fun game. I have The Keep novel by F. Paul Wilson. I’m very intrigued what Greg Nicotero is going to do with his remake of the film.

Max Wright @maxwrightscad.bsky.social · Mar 6

That’s awesome that you’re moderating this @squidthusiast.bsky.social!

From SCAD Savannah Film Festival to The Oscars: It was impressive to me that SCAD had the foresight to have already honored Mikey Madison, Kieran Culkin, Zoe Saldana, and Paul Tazewell at the 2024 Savannah Film Festival. The curators of the festival continue to impress! #TheOscars2025

The Oscars at The Plaza! Thank you @plazaatlanta.bsky.social for screening @theacademyusa.bsky.social awards tonight. It was an outstanding experience watching The Oscars inside the Lefont auditorium. Definitely already planning on watching the Oscars again next year at the Plaza!

SCAD and the Oscars! It was great to hear that over 130 SCAD grads worked on the nominated films. Many nominees attended SCADFilm and Savannah Film Festival events last year. I'll be attending the Oscar viewing party at @plazaatlanta.bsky.social tonight. Excited for the outcomes!

Sad to hear about Gene Hackman's untimely passing! He is truly one of the greats and has an amazing filmography. I'm a huge fan of his work on many films. Thank you Gene Hackman for your contribution to the world of cinema!

Congratulations to Hiroyuki Sanada for his win at the SAG Awards! Shogun is an excellent show. It was truly amazing to see him in person three weeks ago at the incredible SCAD TVFest, where he received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his notable merits to cinema. #shogun #sagawards #sagaftra

Another Atlanta filmed series debuts tonight on NBC. Grosse Pointe Garden Society was filmed in Atlanta last year at Virginia Highland and Georgia Tech. They also previewed the show at the SCAD TVFest two weeks ago. Look forward to seeing more of this show. #grossepointegardensociety #scadtvfest

Highly recommend the new documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin! It's a unique documentary that delved into the history of the band and the impact they had in the music world. The film is currently playing in Atlanta at Midtown Art Cinema and @taraatlanta.bsky.social! #ledzeppelin #sonypicturesclassics

I know @crobertcargill.bsky.social! I saw The Monkey early and it’s truly a great dark-comedy. Osgood Perkins has been killing it! Looking forward to his new film, Keeper, later this year.

Max Wright @maxwrightscad.bsky.social · Feb 21

Thank you Emory and @neon-rated.bsky.social for the preview screening of The Monkey at the @taraatlanta.bsky.social. Great to see it again and it's truly a great dark comedic adaptation of the short by @stephenking.bsky.social. To top it all off, I appreciate the Neon merch!
