We’re trying out a slightly different version of Editor Recs where it’s a bit more rapid fire & more frequent. It’s called The Dispatch and it’ll contain recs from Alex and I + Perfectly Imperfect interns (shout out Vivi, Josh, and Sofia) + some other people.

Vivi 👉 🎵 Never Lose That Feeling / Never Learn

I’ve been on a Swervedriver kick this year and this is my favorite song of theirs. Great take-a-walk song. I throw my shades on and try to feel as cool as Adam Franklin in the music video. Love when that sax kicks in. Past believing, never lose that feeling

Tyler 👉 🇺🇸 THE SWEET EAST (2023)

I loved this. Given that Sean was the DP & Director, it obviously looks beautiful, but the first time screenplay from Nick Pinkerton is also super loose + fun and has something to say. It’s completely unlike anything I’ve seen.

Sean, Nick, Talia, Jeremy, Ayo, Simon, Jacob, Earl,...👍 💪 the fun they had making this movie was contagious in the audience— especially the scene of Jeremy and Ayo riffing for five minutes straight. Go see it in a theater knowing absolutely nothing other than “Tyler said it rocks” and “Tyler said Indies are soooo back.”

Alex 👉 ✂️ FISKARS 8180

Don’t discount the importance of a dependable pair of scissors. These have come in handy countless times, and no job is too big for them. They’re still super sharp and solid after tons of work, including cutting an old jute rug in half that I had to dump. Trust the classics, Fiskars will do you no harm.
