I was so bad at social media that I didn’t post the trailer to my own movie when it came out. So here it is on the anniversary of its premiere, just a few years late 😭🏀 Nothing’s changed about March Madness since then, right? Just a little thing called #NIL...

Moving to #LA was like getting a courtside seat... but not getting in the game. Six years, zero movies made, and zero social media posts... time for a new playbook in a new city! Howdy #Austin 🤠#putmeincoach

5 years since AMATEUR came out and ~10 million people/year are still watching it??
...That’s above other more recent worldwide releases like I Think You Should Leave, Soderbergh’s The Laundromat, Entergalactic, even Tiger King
Would’ve been great to get some residuals on that!!! 😫 But that’s why we all went on strike… #WGAStrong #ButImNotEvenInTheWGABecauseIWasntPaidEnough
Seems like a good time to mention I’m looking for new reps! And I have a new script. (Also seems like a good time to take the IG off private)
(The background here is Netflix released the data on their viewership 👏 Amateur hit 4 million hours in the first half of 2023. So I got Asian with the math here... 4.1m hours X 60 mins, divided by a 90 min runtime, times ~2 people watching per account view (e.g. you and yours watch on the couch, that’s 1 account view but 2 people, and I’m told the average is slightly higher than 2)... so that’s 5.5 million people over 6 months, in one year that would be 11 million people... A good portion of those minutes could be people only watching a little bit, and some would be repeat views, plus I’m actually bad at math so correct me if I’m wrong… but either way this is way higher than I expected 🤓) #netflix #movies #filmmaking #film #filmmaker

“Yeah so these are the brand new lines for today, sorry @ashleebrian” #AmateurNetflix #BTS pic by @graypicturesllc

Too many films (and parties), not enough time at #Tribeca2018 regram from @jdlee1303

Lesson to other filmmakers out there: choose your movie title carefully. My next film will be “Professional” #Tribeca2018

Catching up on premiere photos from last week @stefan_de_franco and Curtiss Cook Jr.

So proud of @michaelraineyjr in his first lead role in #amateurthefilm. A great actor and an even better person. Love this guy.
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
