I made a video essay about growing up on the internet (and watching David Lynch films too young). Happy to finally premiere it in The Cine-Files Journal. https://t.co/zuzt2mTKxk

So glad my internet list is resonating with people ❤️ I just want to highlight one underseen film on the list, Jessica McGoff's My Mulholland, a video essay on Mulholland Drive, screamer videos and the intoxicating terror of being an unsupervised 13-year-old on the early internet
