I just made a feature film for $6000 in 12 shooting days with SAG-AFTRA talent. How I did it: - Worked as the entire crew - Produced multiple shooting blocks of 2 - 3 days - Used only equipment I already owned - Shot entirely with natural light

Many bemoan the lack of an Oscar nomination for Cage but our NOSCAR NONminee for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR is @DavidKnell in “Pig” from Michael Sarnosky. This is the epitome of supportive acting! #noscar #nicolascage #pig #michaelsarnosky #davidknell #cheffinway

In which I once again argue that @DavidKnell’s single-scene performance in PIG is the kind of stuff that deserves a Best Supporting Actor slot. Loved writing this piece

I illustrated this not long ago to celebrate one of my fav films of 2021. I still find myself thinking about it quite often. If you haven't watch it, please give it an opportunity 🙏🏼 Also, I might be falling in love with @clipstudiopaint 🖌️👀 #PosterArt #PIGMovie #NicolasCage

And the tangible emotions flying across his face. Masterful. And, the fact that this actor hadn't been in a movie in 30+ years gives people hope that it's never too late to have your moment in the sun. I may just dust off my headshot. Thanks, #DavidKnell!

If you watch anything today then make sure it's Nicolas Cage's performance in #Pig. Incredible.

Shortest screen time with the biggest impact in 2021? David Knell in Pig. Impeccable face acting from someone getting utterly dismantled by Nicolas Cage.

A raw, gritty, sorrow-filled, poetic, beautiful essay on grief. Compelling characters. There's a scene with Nicolas Cage & David Knell who plays a pretentious chef that is alone worth watching the whole film. 🐷❤️🔥🎞️ #film #cinema #drama #thriller #pig

Nicolas Cage on acting: “With the risk of sounding like an arrogant you-know-what, I would say, you can’t be great unless you know you’re great ... You’re precious. Go in and be great like you know you’re great because that’s what you are” thr.cm/SWqGunL

Just saw a tweet saying “Both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated can catch Covid.” A doctor responded: “Both Serena Williams and I can play tennis."

Michael Sarnoski’s debut #Pig is made all the more remarkable because it reflects the wisdom of a much older man, and the patience of a master. It's one of the best first features of 2021: bit.ly/3ssz29g
