New way to discover 12 amazing and diverse films in one year


Hello Reader,

Are you tired of endlessly scrolling through streaming services for something promising to watch besides classics?

Do you find that even your local arthouse cinema is reluctant to play films that aren’t in English, don’t have big stars, or haven’t been generating tons of festival buzz?

Do you struggle to find recommendations from film critics for films you haven’t heard of?

Not everyone has time to go to dozens of film festivals and watch hundreds of foreign films that might not be playing in a nearby cinema.

That's why, for the next four days only, I'm offering something brand new: Reel Ruminators: Explorer.

The Solution - Reel Ruminators: Explorer

Over one year, you’ll discover and watch 12 of the best movies of this century that you may have otherwise missed...without having to do any homework afterward or join a discussion.

Reel Ruminators: Explorer will connect you to incredible movies from across genres, continents, cultures, and languages...

...with a special focus on films by and about women and other marginalized groups (e.g., LGBTQ+, Indigenous, people over 50).

These films will make you think and feel–both about their content and about the art of filmmaking.

As long as you’re a member, you’ll have access to every film curated during your membership in case life gets in the way of watching during the month when it’s announced.

What You'll Experience

By the end of one year as a Reel Ruminators: Explorer, you'll have:

✅ Watched 12 very good films -- from around the world and across genres -- that you may have otherwise missed.

✅ Laughed, cried, and discovered new perspectives and places

✅ Discovered incredible filmmakers (emerging and established from diverse backgrounds, including women, LGBTQ+ people, Indigenous, etc.), watched amazing performances, and been dropped into beautiful worlds

✅ Become more comfortable approaching films that were not in your previous comfort zone and learn how filmmakers’ cinematic choices affect your reaction to a film’s story

How It Works

With Reel Ruminators: Explorer, you’ll discover and watch one new curated movie monthly (12 movies/year).

On the user-friendly course dashboard, you’ll watch an introduction to the film by film critic and curator Alex Heeney. Then, you’ll download the Watch Guide with information on streaming the film and four questions to consider while watching.

If you’re too busy to watch a movie one month, no problem! You’ll have access to the entire library of movies added during your time as a member as long as you’re a member.

...is a Mike Leigh movie from 2018, set in 1800s England, called Peterloo! There are two very good reasons to watch Peterloo this month: Mike Leigh's excellent new film Hard Truths is out in cinemas...so what better time to watch his unsung masterpiece? As we collectively mourn the inauguration of Donald Trump, I find this historical drama a very moving story about how, even if the fight for democracy ends in carnage, there's still hope for the future (and that you and I can change it.)

Hello Reader, When it comes to watching movies... There are the choices you want to be making for yourself (e.g., watching your cultural vegetables that will feed you emotionally and intellectually) And there are the choices you actually make (e.g., watching junk food)...which might be because you're not even sure which choice to make because your watchlist is so long that you're endlessly scrolling.
