The Wire | Nicholas Rombes Gets Weird

Nicholas Rombes, author of The Absolution of Roberto Acestes Laing, and writer/director of our second feature film, The Removals, was interviewed by David Davis at the Weird Fiction website. Davis asked Rombes whether there is "such a thing as 'too weird'" and whether he would consider someone labeling his work as weird as a compliment.

The Wire | All Over and Over

I recently bought Tim Kinsella's All Over and Over (Featherproof Books 2015). The book is a collection of tour diaries from his extensive time on the road with his band, Make Believe (Joan of Arc), during the early/mid 2000s. Kinsella's reflective insight is where the beauty lies.

On the Dial | The Midwest

The Midwest is so uniquely forgettable and necessary. I recently read an essay at Vol. 1 Brooklyn by Anne Valente which highlights her decision to write and not write about the Midwest.

Design of the Week | Wes Anderson and Hunt for the Wilderpeople

I watched Taika Waititi's new film, Hunt for the Wilderpeople recently. Thematically there are many similarities to the films of Wes Anderson, both in terms of the story and style. There are quick-zooms, quirky music, kids on the run from adults, dead-pan delivery, chapter headers, and ninety degree camera angles. Despite the similarities, I enjoyed Hunt for the Wilderpeople, particularly the film's protagonist, Ricky Baker (played by Julian Dennison), and in many ways it helped me to understand what I think of as Wes Anderson's successes and failures as a storyteller.
