UPDATES: TIFF 2012, 50 FAVORITE MOVIES OF THE 90'S (The Pink Smoke) & INSIDE THE PHOENIX

The 2012 Toronto Film Festival is approaching and I'll be going back with John & Chris from The Pink Smoke. So from the end of august up through the beginning of October just about anything you read on PINNLAND EMPIRE will be TIFF-related. So far the list of films playing at the festival is pretty weak but I am excited for 'To The Wonder' and 'Looper'.

Lastly, I recently took part in an amazing podcast on Inside The Phoenix where I discussed everything from film & music to race & architecture. The podcast should be up some time in October. But in the meantime make sure to check out the podcast archives as they're all great.
