I wrote for SwR about the desperado existentialism and deep-fried soul of WILD AT HEART—and of carnal sex, film noir, David Lynch, and the snakeskin Americana of literary giant/ WILD AT HEART author Barry Gifford.

Yes! Listen to Travis - I did, and it’s one of my favorite films of the year. Edge of your seat tension.

FEMME is getting a limited engagement at the Los Feliz 3/ American Cinematheque from 4/28 to 5/2. I cannot recommend this film enough.

An absolutely stunning queer erotic thriller and a brutal neon-noir inquiry into identity, revenge, sex, and violence.

Happy birthday to legendary director Carl Franklin! 💙

This book literally would not exist without Chad and Bright Wall/Dark Room. The editorial guidance & opportunities he, as an editor, gave me to develop my work at a writer’s dream of a publication are too special for this character count limit

Not to mention he gave me my first EM byline!!!!

HE GOT GAME is Spike Lee’s big ol’ Technicolor Cecile B. DeMille religious epic in ways both deeply unfortunate (intensely biblical Madonna-Whore psychology abounds) and thoughtfully corrective (here, the *Father* sacrifices himself for his Jesus).

Hands down, my favorite Joint.
