Roll the Tape: October 9th, 2024

Upcoming REEL TALK guests, humanist films, & my September picks,

Good day.

Is it just me or does everyone becomes a grandma once autumn hits? Tell me why I clock out at 7PM on the dot everyday.

But I hope you’re having a beautiful week, and here’s the agenda for today:

  • Curated resources: Barry Jenkin’s commentary, Past Lives visual playbook, and your favourite newsletter’s favourite newsletter

  • The forever-trending film style

  • Me exposing my September journal entries
