I’ve been publishing TheMovieGourmet.com blog since 2011 and have written on over 2000 films. The blog seeks to evangelize for overlooked films, and emphasizes indies, documentaries and international cinema.
I cover my favorite Bay Area film festivals: Cinequest, SFFILM (San Francisco International Film Festival), the Oakland/San Francisco Noir City, San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, Mill Valley Film Festival and Frameline. I also cover the Nashville Film Festival, Slamdance, and San Luis Obispo International Film Festival (SLO Film Fest).
Here’s my coverage of the 2024 Cinequest (5 features, 18 films reviewed), 2023 Cinequest, 2022 Cinequest (5 features, 16 films reviewed) and the 2021 Cinequest (2 features, 21 films reviewed, one director interview).
Here’s my coverage of the 2024 SFFFILM (2 features, 5 films reviewed), 2022 San Francisco International Film Festival (SFFILM) (2 features, 5 films reviewed) and the 2021 SFFILM (2 features, 11 films reviewed).
