A Hundred Years of Orson Welles
The familiar part of the Orson Welles saga, his rapid rise to the pinnacle of “Citizen Kane,” has been told many times. But much about the actor and filmmaker remains unexplored. Alex Ross considers his legacy on the occasion of his centennial.

Why I hate what our country has become
I have tickets to see Star Wars with my dad tonight. We bought them last week after I finally gave in about seeing the film opening weekend. Part of the reason I kept saying I wanted to wait was because I didn’t want to put up with the crowd and other bs excuses, but honestly the real reason is because I have been terrified of a mass shooting at the theater.
I have literally had nightmares almost every night since we bought the tickets, where we’re waiting for the movie to start and someone walks in with a gun. At dinner the other night, my dad and I were legitimately discussing the best place to sit in case something like that were to happen. My mom thought we were being morbid, but the sad truth is that’s sadly the world we live in. She tried to say something like that would never happen in our hometown, but I simply responded that nobody ever thinks it will. In fact it’s become small towns exactly like mine where stuff like this does happens.
For some reason I’ve had this sinking feeling ever since they opened pre-ticket sales that something bad is going to happen at some point during the opening weekend of the film. Again, it may seem morbid, but that’s the world we live in now. When mass shootings have become a common occurrence in our everyday lives, a huge public event where large crowds of people will be gathered in one place seems like a legitimate target. And I hate that.
I hate that I know I’m not going to be able to truly enjoy the film because I’m going to be too distracted by paranoia to pay full attention to the screen. I hate that every movement in the theater and every trip to the bathroom by another audience member will fill me with dread. I hate that the only time I’ll be able to truly relax will be when I’m safely back in the car. I hate that I haven’t gotten to truly enjoy a film for these very reasons since I saw The Dark Knight Rises at midnight 3 years ago. I hate that that incident took the innocence away from the cinema-- took a once safe and magic place from my childhood and turned it into a place of fear. And I hate that that fear has become commonplace. That we as a country have simply decided to live with it.
When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump, otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life, and that I can’t do.
what did you ever do that was so bad?
The Daily Show, December 8, 2015
Well last night I experienced my final student film screening, my final night as a college student, and after 4 years and 4 movies I finally won for Best Picture (as well as Director, Screenplay, Editing, Actor, and Production Design) More than any award however, I felt truly grateful to see the overwhelming amount of support surrounding me in the theater last night. From actors, to teachers, to friends and family that have been there from the start. They are the reason I make movies-- they're the reason I'm allowed to make movies. Without the support I've been fortunate enough to receive, I would never have the confidence or resources to do what I love doing.
Wednesday night I will be screening my final student film, Moscow Station. As I prepare for what will be my last Watkins Film Screening, I look back on my time at the school, and the 4 films I have made. My growth as a filmmaker and a person, the friends and filmmakers who made every one of them possible, and the fond lasting memories I will carry with each one.

Nashville
So I just got offered an entry level job working in the locations department of Nashville this season! We’ll shoot from January to April, so I’ll have to wait a little longer than I originally planned to head out to LA, but I figured the experience was worth putting it off for. Plus it’ll give me a chance to save up a bit of money before I move too.
Oh and a still from Moscow Station was featured in Nashville Art Magazine today too!
So I guess you could say today’s been pretty good.
And with Day 4 complete, that is a wrap on Moscow Station!
Day 4 is in the books, and with it another round of screenshots. 4 down, 1 to go.
Day 3 of shooting is in the books. Here are a few of my favorite screenshots from the day.
Today we filmed the climactic scene in which the main character Adolf Tolkachev was ambushed and abducted by the KGB.
The image above of this event taking place is one of the key inspirations for me taking on this story, and it is unbelievably satisfying to see it come to life.
One day down, three to go.
LA
so yeah I think it’s pretty much official that I’m moving to LA after I graduate.
Gonna move out of my apartment in Nashville at the end of the semester, stay with my family in Cookeville over the holidays, and then after my birthday in January my dad and I will load up my Jeep and drive across the country.
I pretty much made this decision a week ago while we were there, but now that my parents are in support of it, and we have actually talked about the logistics of it, I feel like it’s real.
Since we’ve been back it’s been so hard for me to give a fuck about school, and now it’s going to be excruciating to actually get anything done the rest of the semester.
LA
So I’m in Los Angeles for the first time this weekend, and I absolutely fucking love it. Got in yesterday afternoon, and spent all day today exploring with my parents. Met with one of my friends and her husband who moved out here a couple years ago and she was super helpful and supportive (and helped ease my parents minds on a lot of their fears about me moving out here).
I had kinda given up on the idea of ever living here, but after only being here for 2 days, I’m starting to strongly consider making this my home after I graduate in December.
Oh and I’m also getting to go on the set of Grey’s Anatomy to shadow the director as they film an episode tomorrow.
