hanging out with Noah Centineo, who co-stars with Will Poulter in the tender, searching, quietly hopeful Union County, after Monday night's Film Independent screening at the Landmark Sunset. It opens THIS FRIDAY, 8/14, SO GO SEE IT!...Its docufiction storytelling style reminded me of last year's similarly deeply moving East of Wall. Like my debut memoir Killing Justice, it’s less a story about the fall, and more about the fragile and hard-fought climb back up...Union County i

Hanging out with Christian Nilsson, writer/director of the atmospheric, meditative, yet deeply penetrating, multiple-award winning feature Westhampton, which wrestles with powerful themes like accountability, healing, and forgiveness, as does Killing Justice, & which opens this weekend at the Laemmle Royal...SO GO SEE IT!...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtahHCazAVA

hanging out with my new music producer friend Huca Bera, after he got a copy of Killing Justice after tonight's advance screening of Moana, which was wonderfully entertaining...

hanging out with Sheldon Candis, writer/director of the wonderful new film "They Fight", which transforms a real-life story of mentorship and resilience, just like Killing Justice, into a moving boxing drama that is as much about second chances as it is about competition, which explores the difficult road to redemption through the eyes of Walt Manigan (André Holland from Moonlight), a man determined to rebuild his life after being released from prison while helping others fin
