Both politics and entertainment are, in different ways, acts of storytelling. Too often, today’s sequels and spinoffs come across like feature-length teasers. They’re all middle. They exist to hype what’s next rather than dwell in the cinematic moment and provide narrative closure. We need new stories, new policies and new ideas, but right now, neither Hollywood nor Washington appears willing to deliver. – Peter Suderman, NY Times. More:
Made some short films. Recently finished a feature film screenplay. Will keep you posted.

I enjoyed your ‘second thoughts’ on Star Wars, Jay. To some extent, all films reflect the narrative of the times in which they’re made. This seems especially true of Star Wars films. Happy festive season!
