Sign up at: reunionwattba.substack.com Sam Wasson just released The Path to Paradise: A Francis Ford Coppola Story, which completes a trilogy of sorts following The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood and Hollywood: The Oral History. The books traverse the full history of the Hollywood studio system, bookended (literally wow haha so fun to say that) by the dive deep into the...
S05E11 Ryan Czerwonko - Adult Film
November 10, 2023 17:32 - 51 minutes - 47 MBRyan Czerwonko @ryanczerwonko runs Adult Film @adultfilm.nyc an NYC collective of actors, writers, and directors focusing on theater, actor training, filmmaking, and film screenings. He's an example of a contemporary actor who the industry didn't hand everything to...so he took his own control. We're excited to host an improv and film event this Friday November 10 to exhibit multiple facets of that work and the community he built. Hope to see you there. RSVP --- Send in a voice message: h...
S05E10 Fernando Reinaldos - Fin (The End)
November 06, 2023 10:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBFernando Reinaldos @fernandoreinaldos will show his short film The End Monday November 6 with Reunion at Alamo Drafthouse. It's one of the film's he's made as part of his Columbia MFA film program. I'm really excited that the actresses in the movie will be present to watch with an audience. It's a meditative piece that can spark conversation, with a few aspects requiring interpretation that those from different walks of life will bring significantly divergent takes to. RSVP here. --- Send...
S05E09 Arthur Gay - Sunshine City

S05E08 Mateen Stewart - Late for Work Comedy Night
November 04, 2023 18:53 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBMateen Stewart @mateenstewart is a comedian, standup producer and host of Late for Work, a weekly comedy night in Los Angeles that will have their NYC debut tomorrow night, Sunday November 5th with Reunion cohosting. The lineup is great, should be a fun time. We talk a lot about the comedy industry, how development on late night shows has been replaced by viral video pursuits. Similar to film, the bottom line is putting butts in seats. Hope to see you tomorrow night. https://wl.seetickets.us...
S05E07 Sophie Compton & Reuben Hamlyn - Another Body
October 29, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBSophie Compton @sophietaracompton & Reuben Hamlyn @urghreub released their debut feature SXSW Special Jury Award winning doc Another Body last week. It’s a real life horror movie. We actually talked to some genre fests about playing it in horror blocks, didn’t work out because of timing. It bears down on a specific aspect of the AI conversation—deep fake porn. At the heart of it is an investigation into the psychological torment that brings the perpetrators to commit these acts on victims th...
S05E06 Demian Rugna - When Evil Lurks
October 27, 2023 14:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MBDemian Rugna @demianrugna drops his latest When Evil Lurks on Shudder Friday October 27th. Perfect Halloween watch. Damien is one of few working today who, in my view, do horror right. This guy just goes for it. Horror is its own layer of cinema, it sends us to places within ourselves that other film does not. Analysis is cool, but the sensation horror derives is its own experience. Nothing generates our repressed feelings and connects our fight or flight processes in their most effective us...
S05E05 D.W. Young - Dancing on the Silk Razor
October 25, 2023 19:21 - 58 minutes - 53.3 MBDW Young (https://www.dwyoungfilm.com/) premiered his latest short Dancing on the Silk Razor at Woodstock Film Fest shortly before playing at last week’s Reunion night at Alamo Drafthouse NYC. It gifts us 20 minutes of Wallace Shawn narration (including the word ‘conceivable’!) telling a story built off a single line written years ago by a friend of DW’s. The story reminds me of the particular existential dread of Paul Auster. It’s a very New York and Jewish and male existential dread in my ...
S05E04 Justin Timms - Brooklyn Horror Film Festival
October 12, 2023 17:47 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBJustin timms @justin_timms is the Creative Director of Brooklyn Horror Film Festival and Co-Founder of Yellow Veil Pictures. BK Horror kicked off last night beginning its annual survey of the genre at Nitehawk. This is NYC’s preeminent genre fest, akin to Fantastic, Fantasia, Beyond, Sitges. Justin saw this gap ten years ago and filled it beautifully. The festival has packed screenings and after parties every night. They cover all the ground, prems and favs from festivals like Sundance, feat...
S05E03 Sonia Kennebeck - Reality Winner
October 09, 2023 14:49 - 1 hour - 80 MBSonia Kennebeck @soniakennebeck opens her new documentary Reality Winner this week at IFC Center. I'll be moderating Q+A on October 12th hosted by @reunion. You may know Reality's story from the news or from Sydney Sweeney's portrayal in Tina Satter's HBO film based on the play. Sonia goes deeper into the full story and brings us up to date on what this girl still only in her mid twenties is experiencing. We talk a lot about where journalism and film meet and the state of documentary distrib...
S05E02 Anna Biller - Bluebeard's Castle
October 08, 2023 00:38 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MBAnna Biller @msannabiller became a hero with The Love Witch a few years ago. @reunion has the pleasure of celebrating her follow up on Tuesday with a launch party for her debut novel Bluebeard's Castle. It came about as a pseudo happy accident, when pandemic stalled film development, but as Anna explains, the novel form allowed her to represent the characters' internal feelings in ways her films never allowed. The book, like Love Witch, is beyond camp. Her work is pretty peerless. We tried t...
S05E01 David Farrier - Mister Organ
October 05, 2023 13:00 - 48 minutes - 44.2 MBDavid Farrier @davidfarrier opens his new movie Mister Organ on Friday at Roxy Cinema Tribeca co-hosted by @Reunion. I was at David's Sundance premiere of Tickled, which was the first of multiple screenings where audience members who were subjects in the film caused very fun chaos. The movie and the whole experience was awesome. This movie puts his lens on regular sociopathy. He explores what a person can be like who would cause another to want to commit suicide. Spoiler alert, there's no ho...
S04E35 Dustin Waldman
May 02, 2023 13:56 - 1 hour - 142 MBDustin Waldman @dustinwaldman will show his SXSW premiered short Never Fuggedaboutit May 2 @reunion @alamonyc. The story pulls from his experience working as an editor, creating what is effectively an imagined hypothetical version of himself in 2001, working in a post house given a controversial task around September 11th. I remember how charged rhetoric and creative decisions were around this time. It reminds me of our current moment, where every decision is potentially a career ender. This...
S04E34 Kevin Ralston
April 28, 2023 14:02 - 1 hour - 310 MBKevin Ralston @kevinralton will show his recent Slamdance premiered short Hubbards @reunion @alamonyc on May 2. Kevin has a certain brand of humor. It’s meditative and strangely whimsical rather than dark. There’s a lot of comparisons we talk about like the whole Adult Swim world, Tim & Eric, etc. but I find that a lot of those deliver this underbelly of a bleak world view, whereas Kevin’s writing and tone feels sentimental and hopeful, connected to people through the disconnects he’s invest...
S04E33 Nira Burstein
April 27, 2023 14:01 - 1 hour - 349 MBNira Burstein @nira.isanalog will show the opening of her debut doc feature Charm Circle May 2 @reunion @alamonyc. We talk a lot about Judaism in the arts, NYC, family, and the difference between narrative and doc work. Lotsa parent talk. I’m interested in what audiences will make of it next week. To me, a big topic we got into was how people identify with her parents as characters and their tendencies. We see them as very, very Jewish, but many others less familiar with this culture don’t r...
S04E32 Noam Argov
April 26, 2023 15:09 - 1 hour - 451 MBNoam Argov @noamargov12 just premiered her short Sulam at Aspen Shorts Fest and we’ll show it May 2 at @reunion Alamo Drafthouse NYC. Noam was born in Israel, raised in Disneyworld, and now lives in NYC. There’s this wild Kyrgyzstan doc she made a couple years ago that Mailchimp put out, worth watching. Another world. Sulam features a tough mother-daughter dynamic that is autobiographical for Noam. I’d say it’s unintentionally imbued with anxiety-horror cinema. Maybe like in the way Krisha do...
S04E31 Dion Costelloe
April 26, 2023 02:44 - 1 hour - 344 MBDion Costelloe @dion_costelloe is an actor featured most recently in God’s Time, which we showed in January before its IFC theatrical release. May 2 at Alamo Drafthouse, we’ll show his first short as director, Waking Up, as well as a rough cut of his latest, Haters. Dion’s a Bensonhurst guy, where my family’s from, so I’m especially invested in his voice. We talk about these characters that are going to disappear if we don’t continue to make art of their lives. I recently rewatched Once Upon ...
S04E30 Frank Volk + JP Canal - Hot Dogs
March 23, 2023 23:21 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBFrank @putitfrankly + JP @jp_canal won Slamdance 2023 Animation prize for Hot Dogs. We'll show tomorrow / Friday March 31 @reunion @arri_rental. It's a sweet, sensitive, wacky vision of life in the vein of the Up opening. An under 10 minute rollercoaster of emotions that delivers sincerity in a sea of cynicism. Why is it so hard for people to openly feel things? I'm happy these guys do. Excited for an audience to feel this together tomorrow night. https://reunion3242023.splashthat.com --- ...
S04E29 David Kolbusz - Claudio’s Song + Orchard
March 22, 2023 23:17 - 1 hour - 249 MBDavid Kolbusz @davidkolbusz is a creative ad exec turned film writer, whose short film Claudio’s Song will screen @reunion Friday March 24 @arri_rental NYC. David and I talk a lot about the arts in general, our fandom, and formation of taste. I like hearing his perspective on how advertising and creative mandates in general are shaped by social movements. Claudio’s Song and Nimic, his previous film with Yorgos Lanthimos, represent his prioritization of open minded big ideas. The short is ful...
S04E28 Mike Donahue - Troy
March 21, 2023 19:24 - 1 hour - 172 MBMike @mike.m.donahue made Troy as a response to theaters being closed thx to the mangy 2019 thing. @reunion shows it this Friday after a recent Sundance screening, following Tribeca premier and a highlight screening of thousands watching at Out Fest. We talk a lot about how theater and film worlds interact and where his focus is upcoming. I like this movie because, well, pretty simply, there's a ton of people talking in apartment movies made over the last few years that suck, and this one is...
S04E27 Jalena Keane-Lee
March 20, 2023 14:29 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBJalena @jalena.kl and her team of Writer/director @crystalkayiza + producer @britfry just won Sundance shorts Jury price for their short film Rest Stop, and we’ll have the pleasure of screening it this Friday March 24th @reunion @arri_rental. Rest Stop is Jalena‘s first producorial dip into narrative, but is a documentary filmmaker in her own right with multiple shorts out and a feature coming soon years in the making. We talk a lot about the filmmaking journey today, as Jalena has been thro...
S04E26 Ben Brewer 'A Folded Ocean' + 'EEAAO'
March 19, 2023 15:03 - 1 hour - 83.9 MBBen Brewer @brewerfilms has had a nice year so far. A Folded Ocean, his new short, premiered at Sundance and will show March 24th @reunion @arri_rental, and Everything Everywhere All at Once, which he did VFX for, won every award ever. He was also featured on @lecinemaclub, a beautifully curated site with one film a week curated by Marie Louise Khondji. We're both grads of the same era of Emerson College, along with what's become now a really strong group of indie filmmakers like Daniels Sch...
S04E25 Tiger Ji
March 18, 2023 15:24 - 1 hour - 245 MBTiger Ji is an NYC based filmmaker by way of Hong Kong. We’re going to show his latest short Death & Ramen @reunion March 20 @alamonyc @drafthouse. It stars comedian Bobby Lee and Breaking Bad’s Matt Jones. Prior to that he made Wuhan Driver, a slice of what became for some Asians in America during Covid. It reminds me a lot of the post September 11th American Islamaphobia. Death & Ramen is more personal and universal, something anyone can relate to. He tells how he put it together and what’...
S04E24 Emma Swider
March 17, 2023 19:19 - 53 minutes - 123 MBEmma Swider @ispysvvi is a filmmaker and editor I met through Beth B (recently on the show and retrospective'd at Metrograph) at our Lydia Lunch screening a few years ago. She's sent me a few of her shorts, including the much more robust The Marinn Company, but it was really this short montage she made that got me. We're going to screen All for You on March 20th at Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan @Reunion. We talk about the kind of tactics she uses to get these really important points acros...
S04E23 Joe Meyerson
March 16, 2023 17:21 - 1 hour - 200 MBJoe Meyerson @josephsamuelmeyerson ‘s first short film Out Patient will show @reunion @alamonyc @drafthouse Lower Manhattan on March 20. We talk about what it takes to put together a movie like this in the burgeoning stages of a career, particularly how to cast and deal with actors. We also talk a lot about what it’s like to be a straight white cis guy making movies today at all, but particularly about other white guys. https://reunion3242023.splashthat.com --- Send in a voice message: ht...
S04E22 Leah Shore

S04E21 Rachid Hami
March 11, 2023 17:47 - 1 hour - 180 MBRachid Hami just showed his second feature POUR LA FRANCE (For My Country) at Film at Lincoln Center's Rendezvous with French Cinema. He explains in this episode why the title changes from 'For France' to 'For My Country' in the US. Toward the end is the most striking point to me about assimilation vs. integration. We speak of our upbringings, his being French by way of Algeria (as portrayed in the film) and mine being a New York Jew. The story told is about his real life family, done as a c...
S04E20 Beth B
March 09, 2023 20:06 - 56 minutes - 52.3 MBBeth B is an NYC arts legend returning Friday for a retrospective at Metrograph. I was at her previous retrospective at MoMa, and we showed her Lydia Lunch documentary at my place last year. That hang was amazing, the crowd kept Beth and Lydia talking for longer than the film runtime and nobody left. She's got incredible stories from my favorite era of NYC arts and a beautiful personal arc to show for it. It's nice to be able to receive her perspective on something that a lot of other people...
S04E19 Eugene Kotlyarenko, Lea Rose Sebastianis, Nate Wilson, Morgan Krantz
February 14, 2023 18:26 - 1 hour - 177 MBEugene Kotlyarenko, Lea Rose Sebastianis, Nate Wilson, Morgan Krantz collaborated to create The Straightball, which we’ll show on Thursday February 16 @reunion. This is like a film school episode in a way, and also kinda heartwarming friendship tale. Eugene had a retrospective in Toronto, and Nate and Lea tell us of the vibrant film community who came out. That turned into hangs, and eventually collaboration. It’s a cool walk through of how things can come together. Take notes, do it yoursel...
S04E18 Lucy McKendrick
February 14, 2023 18:17 - 1 hour - 66 MBLucy McKendrick @lucy_elizabeth_mckendrick premieres her short film Fuck Me Richard @sxsw in March and will show some of her work @reunion this week on February 16th At Wonderland Dreams. We actually had a long tea hang the other day which we aimed to post but because of the subject matter of Lucy’s film, we both got super raw and went in depth on a lot of topics that we decided to let disappear into the ether. We talked about trolls. About our shared anxiety. About covid zoom acting classes...

We’ll show 10-15 min preview on Thursday February 16th @reunion at Wonderland Dreams as part of a shorts block. Samara @miss3liss is founder of art collective, gallery and I don’t know entirely how to describe space @thelockerroomnyc. She paired up with Winnie @w1nn1th (previously of Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched— the 🐐@KierlaJanisse) to make a film about her month long artist Residency. Chase @leather_l...

February 11, 2023 22:21 - 1 hour - 62.6 MBAnya Raza & Yumna Rizvi @anyarazaofficial @yumrizvi will show their film Still Here on Thursday February 16 @reunion pop up at Wonderland Dreams. Anya is a documentarian and Yumna works at CVT Center for Victims of Torture in DC. They partnered on the project. Here we talk about the relationship between causes and art, how money factors in, how the west creates bias. I talk about Beyonce and Diplo for a while and somehow relate it to torture, yeah. Maybe. You can judge for yourself. This epi...

We talk about their creative collaboration, their influences, and in many ways the nature of communication through art. I'm excited for these guys to watch Chainsaw and Naked properly. I think it'll blow their minds. See y'all Thursday. https://reunion2162023.splashthat.com --- Send in a voice message: https://p...
S04E13 Brontez Purnell
February 09, 2023 13:17 - 48 minutes - 111 MBBrontez Purnell @brontezpurnell joins me for an episode after having played his short film 100 Boyfriends Mixtape #3 @reunion a few weeks ago. It was an absolute smash. I was nervous about how the audience would take it, as it includes imagery that honestly most will never see or even conceptualize of. He somehow packages that sensitively and thoughtfully in a way that warmly opens the audience up to ideas beyond their scope. He gained massive acclaim for just that with his book 100 Boyfrien...
S04E12 Jeff Rutherford
February 07, 2023 21:31 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBJeff Rutherford @jeffsrutherford just premiered his feature debut A Perfect Day for Caribou starring Charlie Plummer at Locarno and Slamdance.

We talk about what it's like to be a filmmaker today, pushing shorts, developing features. I forgot to ask her about Babylon I just realized, which she was in. Wow. How tf did I forget to ask about Babylon. Wow. Anyway, we talk about how Film Freeway is a scam a lot. See y'all Wednesday. https://reunion2823.s...

Wednesday will share a lineup with some more classmates and collaborators like producer Joseph Longo.

S04E08 Eran Kolirin
February 04, 2023 20:06 - 55 minutes - 128 MBEran Kolirin is a filmmaker with a current retrospective at NYC's Quad Cinema, in celebration of his new film Let It Be Morning, which premiered at Cannes in Un Certain Regard. You'd know him most from the wildly successful The Band's Visit, which was adapted into a huge musical. I like the movie more, which I had the pleasure of watching on 35mm this week before moderating opening night's Q&A last night. Eran and I talk about identity most. What's it mean to be a Jew? Israeli? Middle Easter...
S04E07 Jay Giampietro - filmmaker
February 02, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBJay Giampietro @jaygiampietro has made a ton of short films that have played tons of festivals most importantly NYFF. He represents a vibe and milieu of NYC arts culture that's maintained its crisp purity for the last decade plus. The Safdies transfer that NYC anxiety into crime, but Jay likes to examine closely the people we walk by every day and the conversations we exist amongst. Monday February 6 we show his latest work Hernia amongst an evening curated by previous episode's Miles Emanue...

S04E05 Kenny Schacter - art person
January 10, 2023 14:26 - 1 hour - 209 MBKenny Schachter @kennyschachter is an art world hybrid--artist, critic, journalist, curator, dealer, NFT expert... We focus specifically on his video work for much of this conversation, as we'll showcase a few of the hundreds he's made over the years this Friday January 13th @reunion in NYC, actually showing Kenny's work for the first time ever in a theater. As I type this the morning after recording, I think about the idea of 'outsider' in the art world, which Kenny describes himself as. I'...
S04E04 Daniel Antebi - filmmaker God's Time
January 09, 2023 14:06 - 1 hour - 206 MBDaniel Antebi @dantebi_ just gave a talk about how to make your first feature film before turning 25. He did. @reunion is going to show the opening of God's Time Friday January 13th at Midnight Theatre. I love the opening most actually, so I'm really winning here. I love the film overall, but I really feel that the opening packs in soooo much of what Daniel is good at--capturing kinetic energy and transferring it to an audience. Don't skip on the rest of the movie, because there he provides ...
S04E03 Lucia Santina Ribisi - Filmmaker Activist
January 08, 2023 20:57 - 1 hour - 202 MBLucia Santina Ribisi @peace_on_earth.mp4 is a filmmaker and activist who made the short film Climate Chaos, Baby which we're going to show @reunion Friday January 13th at Midnight Theatre with live narration and score. She explores whether she feels having children is ok when our environment is collapsing, and what the real problem is. Recent NYC resident via LA, Lucia's also working on a 'real-time club theater' at Zero Space called Diskokina on January 28th. It sounds wild. She talks about...

We talk about Streisand and Minelli, Funny Girl, Los Angeles, Babylon. Talked a lot about the importance of programming and bringing people to the movies. The cruelty of data.

S04E01 Miles Emanuel - movie goer, shower and maker
