Mark Tan Posted On April 10, 2021


Naming every reason I could have interest in a filmmaker’s latest project would take up a whole essay. But more than anything, it’s that person’s aspiration to try something new that gets my full attention. Whether that involves playing around […]

Tom & Jerry Poster
