I've interviewed writers, directors, scholars, actors, festival organizers, podcasters, and basically anyone I find interesting who seems like they won't be an asshole.
I met Alex last year at a networking event (gag) for NYC Web Fest and immediately liked her. We somehow managed to skip all of the small talk bullshit and actually have an interesting conversation about film, art, and the difficulties of negotiating a pay raise. Post-festival, we've
Claire Edmondson is going to be a big deal. A few years from now, people will find this post on my blog and be like, "Holy shit, how did Lindsay get to interview her?" This thought is based on a gut feeling, observable talent, and the fact that
Sasheer Zamata and Y'lan Noel together in a movie directed by Stella Meghie? Sign me up! Since I was already back home in Ann Arbor during the Tribeca premiere, I watched a screener in bed with two of my cats and a bag of Haribo Berries (the best
"Albatross Soup" combines colorful animation and clever editing to take viewers on a condensed acid trip through a popular lateral thinking exercise. Instead of listening to me ramble on, watch it yourself. It's only 7 minutes!

Motorsports isn't typically my jam but if Janet Guthrie were still on the scene, I'd become a quick enthusiast. Like Diana Kennedy, Guthrie was ahead of her time. She pursued her passion with tenacity, ignored the naysayers, and broke down barriers in a ridiculously male-dominated sport.
This film is like a lost episode of "Chef's Table." It's just as good but contains less food porn and more subject development. I don't particularly enjoy cooking, but I do have a special affinity for certain chefs like Erin French, Renee
I watched "The Garden Left Behind" in bed with a cup of peppermint tea at my Airbnb in Austin and had a hard time sleeping after it ended. The first half of the film lulled me into a false sense of security, then gutted me like a fish.
On a rainy day in November, I put on my favorite oversized sweater and drove to Cinema Detroit for the Mabel Normand screening from the "Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers" series. For those unfamiliar, Normand was a funny, hardworking badass who got her start in the early 1910s with
I had been looking forward to seeing "Clara's Ghost" for a long time and was stoked when I finally got the opportunity to watch it for Indie Memphis. Based on the trailer, I figured I would either love it or hate it, and spoiler alert: I
I must first acknowledge that the Indie Memphis Film Festival programming was excellent this year. One of the films that I knew I couldn't pass up is "Mr. SOUL!," a documentary produced, written, and directed by Melissa Haizlip. For those unfamiliar, "SOUL!" was a
When I initially wrote about this film, several people emailed me asking how they could watch it. The answer, unfortunately, was that it wasn't available anywhere yet (I screened it as part of the awesome Final Girls Berlin Film Festival). As of 2 October 2018, I have some
