About Me

Check out my blog !
Most of the time, I manage the editorial side of indieWIRE , a company I co-founded ten years ago. Annually, I teach at The New School in Manhattan. As a freelance reporter I've contributed to The Wall Street Journal Online, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Filmmaker Magazine, and Screen International, among others. I've also worked as a consultant to non-profit film and arts organizations (Creative Capital, AIVF) and as a funding panelist for the NEA and ITVS. Finally, I am a frequently a member of selection committees for the annual indie Spirit Awards. All of that basically means that I travel quite a bit and watch a lot of movies.
