The newest James Cameron film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is releasing this week, and I thought this would be a great chance to look back on the filmography of one of the most bankable, consistent directors working today.

I took a deep dive into 2003, along with special guests Jen and Sarah from Movies & Us, and after the episode we turned the voting over to you, the people!

The voting has concluded and it's time to share the results and officially add these winners t...

I had the chance to sit down with the incredibly talented Sam Davis, director of the Oscar-qualified short film The Singers (2025). 

 

We discussed his background in cinematography, his work on films like Didi (2024), the unusual but ingenious approach he took adapting a 19th century Russian short story using first-time actors found on the internet, and much more.
