    An extreme honor to have started this half sleeve based on my short film, ‘Memory Box’. It features my client’s character on a star and the main film characters Galen and Myra. I created the film years ago with the intention of humanizing those struggling with addiction. You can watch it on YouTube.

    I watched 10 or so minutes of Cats: The Movie a while back, out of curiosity, after the bad reviews. Yes it’s weird and unappealing. Just like the theatre musical and the bloody poems! I always assumed Eliot was on acid when he banged his cat poems out. Memory is not even from those poems. #Cats

    One of the most powerful beacons I came up with in therapy was "memory is plastic," which was crucial in realizing I didn't have to remained bound to an imagined past event, but could choose what I needed to learn by rewriting that mental movie as needed. Memory is rewriting-to-order. Plastic.

    Memory is a quiet film that runs the risk of being trampled by flashier fare at the box office. That’d be a damn shame, because this story really matters. It’s meaningful and real, and it’s brought to life by a pair of excellent performances that really don’t feel like performances. Despite the dark themes, there’s a light Sylvia & Saul create together that’s warm and funny and real (with a bathtub scene that’s as romantic as any you’ll see this year). There’s no neat resolution. It’s a slice…

    Whilst the subject matter here is quite interesting, the execution isn't especially. "Sylvia" (Jessica Chastain) is working in the social care system whilst bringing up her daughter "Anna" (Brooke Taylor). Her life, as effectively illustrated by her door locking and burglar alarm routine each day, is a structured affair with little variation. She has a strong relationship with her sister but is completely estranged from her mother. The two women attend a school reunion one night and, leaving…

For instance, what happens when mitigating influences impact our memory, potentially causing it to become fallible and untrustworthy? Can we truly rely on our recall then? Those are among the questions raised in the unconventional new romantic thriller from writer-director Michel Franco. The film follows the life of Sylvia, a recovering alcoholic with a troubled past (Jessica Chastain), who’s unexpectedly (and…
