I’ve spent much of my life in the company of films, filmmakers, artists, musicians, writers, critics, programmers, and the wonderfully curious people who gather around them. My work has taken me through film festivals, screening rooms, production offices, classrooms, cultural organizations, podcasts, panels, archives, and countless conversations about movies and the people who make them. For 20 years, it has been my way of sharing those conversations, discoveries, stories, and voices. Now, as the podcast enters its next chapter, I’m looking ahead—to new filmmakers and films, old stories worth revisiting, histories worth preserving, and the people and ideas that continue to shape the way we experience cinema.
