I am in awe that Alliance of Women Film Journalists dedicated their December Spotlight to an animator, and humbled and honored that the animator they picked was me.
THANK YOU, Jennifer Merin and Leslie Combemale!

Everybody knows that Baltic countries produce some of the most successful animated films. But very few know the secret ingredient of this success. To shed some light on this mystery Riga International Film Festival organized Baltic Animation Meet-Up and invited me to speak.

More than 50,000 people have signed the petition urging President Rinkēvičs @edgarsrinkevics.bsky.social not to sign the law on Latvia's withdrawal from Istanbul Convention. It seems our populists politicians have completely misunderstood the society they claim to represent and try to manipulate

At the BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER Q&A the director Edward Berger and stars Colin Farrell and Fala Chen talked about their process of making this film about addiction in Macau.
For me Macau was the true star of the film - gorgeous, moody, mysterious and made me want to see more of it.

At THE HOUSE OF DYNAMITE Q&A director Kathryn Bigelow said that with the film and its Rashomon structure she wanted to explore what competent people can and cannot do in 19 minutes to save the US and the World.
I felt like with many other Netflix flicks the production process was too rushed.

What Coppola, Jacques Tati and indie filmmakers have in common? We make films we want to make and we are willing to pay the price.
Except, Coppola has a watch he can sell for at least $1 million dollars. Will it be enough to cover the $120 million hole?

Francis Ford Coppola Forced to Sell His Custom $1 Million Watch After ‘Megalopolis’ Debacle
The one-of-a-kind F.P. Journe watch will be on display in New York before its sale in December. The director spent $120 million of his own money on the film, which grossed just $14.4 million.
