how does leo fold his face like that, in the chair smash, he gets this look sometimes like he is made of cats, but angry

that trailer was edited by a minimalist

Tao Lin:

Why don’t you just get an MFA? What would an MFA do for you?

1.) Give you free time to write, years, no job.
2.) Pay you to write. For years.

Isn’t that basically a grant?

Any other grant stuff I know is professor grant stuff.

What song is the "Richard Yates" trailer going to be set to?

maybe an etude by chopin with helvetica font and some scenes of someone looking at a computer screen with a richard yates novel visibly being used as a mousepad
