For over two decades, Hollywood Elsewhere has been a trusted source for honest, in-depth film commentary and festival coverage. Since August 2004, I’ve dedicated myself to bringing readers the most thoughtful reviews, candid reactions, and unique perspectives from the heart of the film industry. Whether it’s the excitement of a world premiere or the subtle nuances of festival life, I strive to capture it all for my loyal audience.

This year, I’m hoping to attend both the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and the 2026 Venice Film Festival. These events are the beating heart of the international film world, and being there in person allows me to provide the kind of scrupulous, on-the-ground coverage that readers have come to expect. From in-depth film reviews to social and political observations, and the vibrant atmosphere that makes each festival unique, I want to share every moment with you.

Your support will help cover the travel and expenses needed to make this possible. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has supported Hollywood Elsewhere in the past, and I’m committed to keeping the site free and accessible to all. If you’ve found value in my work and want to help me continue this tradition, I would be honored by your support. Thank you for being part of this journey.
