“Christmas Somewhere” is out everywhere you stream music.
And if you want to hear us debut it live, come out to @bowerypalace on Monday Dec. 7 for an absolutely killer bill featuring my brothers in guitar rock @benja_derson and my @calstampmusic . More on that soon.
🎥 @emilwasbenjamin is the actual GOAT

PS: if you wanna learn more about the song, over the next few weeks, I’m writing a series for my newsletter subscribers about this song, “Quantum Physics”, and finishing off with a preview of 2027. You can sign up at the link in my bio.

A perfect Valentine’s Day song for Halloween—the spooky tale of watching a lover turn ghost right before your very eyes. “Saint Valentine” is out wherever you listen to music!

This week was surreal. To facilitate the marriage of two of my dearest friends in this dreamscape, surrounded by the people who love them most, felt nothing short of sacred.
This was a rare and special gathering of chosen family. The kind of love that @msaffon and @granados_ross share isn’t just found in their vows, but in the beautiful community they’ve cultivated and the understanding that we’ve all walked each other through so much in life to get to this point.
To witness their love, to hold space with someone as delightful and nurturing @matildemilagros to send them across the threshold… it’s an experience I’ll carry with me for the rest of my days.
Here’s to you, Mariana and Jorge. Thank you for this unforgettable experience and for the joy and light you bring to all of us who call you family.

This was a special group. Sincerest thanks to my wonderful students and the few dozen actors—new friends and old—who made my first semester teaching Directing Actors at Columbia such a joy. You’re all going to do great things!! ❤️

Stoked to share that @breakdownparables will screen at @fantastic.fest later this month!!! I could think of no greater fit for TBP than the biggest, wildest genre festival in the country. After such a long road with this movie, it feels pretty sick to screen it alongside some of my favorite filmmakers. Thank you to the FF programmers for the opportunity!
