THE BOY FROM ST CROIX premieres at the Austin Film Fest Oct 28 and I’m very excited for everyone to see it.
After keeping the world at arm’s length for decades, basketball legend Tim Duncan reveals himself in an intimate portrait directed by his brother Scott, reflecting on the game, his career, and his enduring connection to his native island of St. Croix.
Incredible experience editing this for director/dp/legend Scott Duncan @duncan.tv alongside @_byronleon and with the guidance of @mpallman @wordsandpicturesprod and finishing touches by @vonstyles

INT. FRANK'S OFFICE - MAY 2022
FRANK: You're gonna get this picture into The New Yorker, young man.
ME: I hope so!
FRANK: And you're gonna win all the awards.
ME: Maybe!
FRANK: And you're gonna make a million dollars.
ME: I... I don't think...
Frank's eyes burn with anger at my pathetic lack of confidence.
FRANK (steely): A million dollars, I said.

FRANK - FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
09 Dec 2024
“Young man!” a voice shouted down the phone. “We’re all different! But we’re all the same. And we’re all God’s children.”
Thus began my short, intense friendship with Frank Lucianna, 99-year-old attorney, as we followed him on his final criminal trial.
In January 2022, over very mediocre sushi in Tribeca, @natehurtsellers convinced me that I could direct a film. Nate taught me that you either lock a lens case or leave the lid open. Those are in fact Nate’s two modes: locked in and grinding, or heart open wide to friendship.
I also introduced him to his wife @mo_gonzalo while filming FRANK and @renfaireshow. I think we’re even.
I have been lucky to collaborate with @porsche_9_11 for more than three years. She’s a story genius and source whisperer. She failed to convince me, however, that ketchup is a viable salad dressing. (See attached photo.)
When I first started this project, I thought directors made documentaries. I soon decided it was DPs. And then, finally, sitting down in a sweltering home office, the lone mini fan pointed at @dustinwaldman, I realized the editors do the work. And work. And work.
Dustin patiently explained what all the buttons do, tried to stop me from falling in love with temp music, and once, after an ill-advised lunch of Chongqing Spicy Chicken, let me remove my shirt and writhe on his couch while he kept cutting. Underneath the Film Buff is a humanist who gets the big things in life, and infuses his work with that love.

Thanks also to @lanceopp, who taught me more than I’ll ever admit, and is criminally generous with his thick Rolodex. (Also introduced to wife. Also even.)
For @newyorkermag, @paulmoakley is patient, funny, and has exquisite taste. I feel lucky to know him!
Finally, thank you to Frank Lucianna for letting us into his world. He was a giant to his family, his clients, and his friends. Without hyperbole, he is the greatest American I have ever met. He is greatly missed.

Honeymoon Tycoons

𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩 / In the wake of post-9/11 anxiety in New York City, a struggling post-production house faces a daunting task: removing the Twin Towers shot from the intro of the hit TV show ‘The Sopranos.’
“There’s a lot wrapped up in it, but in the context of the film I think it’s about how as an editor you’re often given notes and expected to enact them whether you agree with them or not. Sometimes that can be more painful than others, especially if in a situation like this there are perceived political ripples in the choice. There’s something about the hierarchies that exist in these media environments that I find interesting. I think on a larger thematic level, the way we process stuff in America is through these cultural proxy wars and so this seemed like an opportunity to inhabit a nice little microcosm of that.” - dir @dustinwaldman

// Premiere // "I think Tony is a uniquely and profound American character."
@dustinwaldman explains why he thinks Tony Soprano is the ultimate American character when discussing his latest short, 'Never Fuggedaboutit' - taking us into the small yet monumental decision behind scrubbing the Twin Towers from the TV show's iconic opening sequence. We also discuss his own inspiration as an editor, finding visually striking images within a simple setting, and sourcing the short's early 00s vintage equipment from eBay and Craigslist.

Historic Andie moments

Beyond excited to share that my short film, ‘Never Fuggedaboutit’ will have its world premiere at this year’s @sxsw in the Narrative Shorts Competition! Stay tuned for more #content from the film
Logline: Amid the high anxiety of post 9/11 NYC, a struggling post-production house is hired to remove a shot of the Twin Towers from the intro to a hit TV show.
Special thank you to @anderpmcmerp whose faith in me makes my brain work and who shares her genius with me at every step of the way.
Thanks also producer/star/editor @ghostboats for channeling AE mindset like only a fellow soldier could have.
And thanks @m_ttclegg for transcoding a silly idea into real cinema and always being down to clown.
Too many people to thank but very very grateful to the whole cast and crew and everyone else who helped or gave advice!
