Michael Almereyda Quotations

I've always been fond of the advice I once heard from Robert Frank, "Keep your eyes open."

Pop culture is more and more about skulls and skeletons and zombies and vampires, and that's not just on Halloween.

Gerry Fialka's annual PXL THIS is a reliably surprising and seductive round-up of recent work achieved with the PXL 2000 camera. This humble outdated “toy” continues to bring out the visionary child in filmmakers and viewers alike, and no one has kept the PXL flame burning longer or brighter than Gerry.

It's about love and loss, it struck me as a meaningful and compelling story, and the shifts in reality offered up strong visual possibilities.

Why not be silent, patient, and watchful like a photographer?

an unbalanced emotion poised between fear and love.

Whether it would be a feature film or not I didn't know.
