Festival coverage portfolio

I’ve been publishing TheMovieGourmet.com blog since 2011 and have written on over 2000 films. The blog seeks to evangelize for overlooked films, and emphasizes indies, documentaries and international cinema.

I annually cover these film festivals, with an emphasis on premieres and directorial debuts:

  • Cinequest
  • SFFILM (San Francisco International Film Festival),
  • Slamdance
  • Noir City (Oakland/San Francisco)
  • Nashville Film Festival (NashFilm),
  • San Luis Obispo International Film Festival (SLO Film Fest).
  • Frameline
  • San Francisco Jewish Film Festival

I have also covered Tribeca Film Festival, Mill Valley Film Festival, and the International Film Festival of North Hollywood.

For example, here’s my coverage of the 2026 Cinequest (5 features, 28 films reviewed) 2025 Cinequest (4 features, 19 films reviewed), 2024 Cinequest (5 features, 18 films reviewed), and all my Cinequest coverage since 2012.

Here’s my coverage of the 2025 SFFILM (1 feature, 4 films capsulized) 2024 SFFFILM (2 features, 5 films reviewed), 2022 San Francisco International Film Festival (SFFILM) (2 features, 5 films reviewed) and the 2021 SFFILM (2 features, 11 films reviewed). and all of my SFFILM coverage since 2016.
