Y'all! I am SUPER excited about this one. A few weeks ago I got the chance to interview LENA HEADY on the podcast. She is a delight! A huge thank you to the wonderful Kristen O'Brien and all of the amazing folks at the Austin Film Festival for setting this up and the Omni Austin Hotel Downtown for the use of their podcast studio. Go check out Lena's film THE TRAP, but you know, after you listen to the podcast.

My comic book guy recommended Newburn, but they were out of the first issue, so I took a gamble and just bought the whole volume. This had better be good !

Meet Eric Toms - Bold Journey Magazine 13/09/2023

The nice folks over at Bold Journey let me write a piece on all of the work I've been doing lately. From the monthly short film showcase called the Night of Shorts Night, to my feature film, BAKERSFIELD NOIR, which will be out later this year, to my experiences with the film festival world, both with my own short and as a producer on Geoffrey Prather's work. Take a read if you have a sec and enjoy pictures of me with a mullet.

Thank you for screening (IMO) William Friedkin’s best film, SORCERER. This film was overlooked in its day because it was released the same weekend as STAR WARS, which is a shame because it is such an achievement in story, directing, acting, and blowing up trees. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and check it out!

Went to go check out with .dzygun for my birthday and had the whole damn theater to ourselves!
