Did you know of here in The Land Of HopeForFilm we have a special year end promotion going on? Yup, not only can you lock in the low 2024 rate on an annual subscription, but if you do it before January 7th, we’ll give you a 20% discount off the annual 2024 rate. Yup. But you have to use this special link:

Small housekeeping note: Some of you have asked me, since it seems I have brought back these LP&W’s, why I haven’t brought back the table of contents for them. Yeah, I liked that too, but I was using it when I was doing the longer lists. This time around I am trying my best to limit each LP&W to just 5 links so it can be a quick bite. I am not ignoring your requests for TOCs, just as I did not ignore the requests to bring LP&W, it’s just that I am trying out another way of doing this. I hope you enjoy the ride. And now, on with the show.

If you are a Premium subscriber to HFF, last edition of LP&W you were given a reminder that:
The ITVS Open Call Deadline is Dec 13th.

I want you all to have that info. We have so little support for arts & culture in America, we need to share it while we still can.

Further proof of American Media’s bias? Or what?
Why isn't every media outlet in America currently celebrating Killer Films remarkable achievement this past week? Or did I just miss it?
They are America's longest running indie film company. Last year they had 3 films in the Awards race. This week one of their films won Best Picture at The Gothams, and another won the same from the NY Film Critics. That's a track record beyond compare, but... crickets.
2024: A Different Man (Gotham), The Brutalist (NYFC)
2023: May December, Past Lives, She Came To Me
I have been fortunate to collaborate with them many times and count on them as my friends.
I shared this initially over on LI and it got a nice response; perhaps you want to check it out:
It also makes me wonder if there is a better way to engage across these two platforms. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I have dropped off using all the others.

Can I offer you even MORE proof of the bias in mainstream media?
