John Magaro sits down with us for our second fully produced in-studio interview to discuss his work on “Omaha,” his journey through independent cinema, and his thoughts on acting, the film industry, and more!

From reflecting on projects like “Past Lives,” “First Cow,” and “Not Fade Away” to opening up about the craft and what drives him as an artist, this is one of our most in-depth conversations yet.

Repost from @colewebley !

The “emotionally monumental” road trip drama OMAHA opens at New York’s IFC Center April 24. Nationwide in May.

It’s been a long haul. Omaha premiered at Sundance 2025 and is finally making its way to audiences worldwide. I love the people who helped me make this film - and my family who supported and carried me through the process. I can’t wait for the next one. Please go see our film!

Thursday sneak screening will be moderated by Celine Song.

Tickets available at IFC Manhattan. 🩵

Seven short films explore how we connect—to ritual, community, desire, spirit, and the everyday gestures that shape our lives. Through inventive choreography and bold cinematic framing, these works reveal the poetry of the ordinary and the power of movement to express what words cannot. Panel following program.

I was ask to give a present to a group of composition students, the topic sound in my films. I found an old film. SYMPHONY No.1: In four parts.

My brother @igraham the composure. I think this section specifically(part 2) really shows the infuence sounds has had. I feel this film really influenced when Peter and I arrived at sound for THE KILLING OF TWO LOVERS.

I thought I'd share.

PROVO, UTAH: APRIL 8 2025.

25…25 years of marriage. What can one say on the matter?

There is no summit, there is no end goal, there is no destination. It is only about the journey.It is all about the time spent. A duo, fighting against the odds together.

With our little band of misfits we will forge ahead stepping out into the light.
