He sat for one of my favorite interviews ever. Can't wait to share his anecdotes and comedic genius someday soon. May @baxterblack forever rest in laughter and peace.

"Yellowstone’s West is multiethnic, multiracial & multiclass. There are Black cowboys & complex Native American characters...whether you agree with the classification, you have an idea of what other people mean by elite: urban, sophisticated and educated." nytimes.com/2022/08/09/opi…

R.I.P., Don Edwards. It was such an honor to capture your performance of "Coyotes" at such an intimate, cinematic level never before seen. Am looking forward to putting it all together at last.

I'm still slowly perfecting this DOCOFILM (.com) with its many moving pieces, but in the meantime, smaller projects have found their way, and here's my (H. Paul Moon) latest. A sunny Spring to you, friends.

After Cannes, it can't be soon enough when this finally arrives stateside in October, the "Western that Scorsese always wanted to make"... buff.ly/3IruyGQ

Here's another film I made, with @CALEFAX Reed Quintet & PENTATONE, about love for a city, and the people who bring it creative life. It visualizes the song "New Amsterdam" written by Moondog, the famous blind "Viking of Sixth Avenue." Enjoy! youtu.be/OTt8QFvfYPY

This is a must-see film about faith, family, and creativity filmed at a farm in rural Spokane, Washington. It's a timely antidote to the artificiality and distraction of behemoth commercial film$ like Barbie and Oppenheimer. Thanks to Rooftop Films for the magical NYC premiere.

Yet another idiotic self-righteous take by formerly indie @Indiewire of the gigantic conglomerate PMC who also shill privilege (disguised as diversity) @thr, @variety, Golden Globes, etc. Can we all just ignore them please? See Jordan Ruimy's piece at worldofreel.com/blog/2024/6/25…

Enjoyed my first visit to lpwesternmuseum near the Alabama Hills where many Westerns have been shot, from the early heyday of cinema to Tarantino's "Django Unchained" - beneath the towering majesty of Mt. Whitney. Here's a short clip about that: youtu.be/VxEe-T5uUco H. Paul Moon

Sincere condolences upon the passing of Wallace McRae, to all who knew him and admired him. It was my honor to document his reading of his great poem "Things of Intrinsic Worth" some years ago: vimeo.com/hpmoon/mcrae - his legend and influence is eternal.
