Favorite Recent Film or Series - Inaugural Cinema Salon Recap

Updated: Sep 11, 2021

The inaugural cinema salon for I Hear You Like Movies transpired this January 19th, 2020! An eclectic band of wildly intelligent filmmakers convened at Kevin's cottage, which crackled with a fireplace and carnivore's-paradise-charcuterie-platters. (Kevin can now pronounce the word charcuterie, carrots were also involved).

Highlights of the evening included an energetic discussion of what makes an action sequence gripping and realistic (John Wick 3), a debate about whether Uncut Gems has a likable protagonist (there seems to be a gender divide), an argument for why Rocketman is a better movie than Bohemian Rhapsody (despite making a tenth of the gross), and Tara gave a surprise dance introduction to the theme song of Stranger Things Season 3.


In a fortuitous coincidence, Robert presented the series Watchmen unbeknownst that fellow salon guest Christian was/is the actual conceptual costume designer for the series! Christian talked a bit about his process and we obsessed about our favorite Watchmen costumes.

Thank you to all our guests who attended. We look forward to hearing your opinions at the next salon.


Your salonnières,


Tory & Kevin

Introducing I Hear You Like Movies. A Cinema Salon.

We love movies. We work in movies. We have strong opinions about movies. We are constantly asked, "have you seen anything good lately?" And perhaps far too many times we’ve found ourselves tongue-tied, forgetting titles and the creative team behind our favorite films. Or perhaps we know the facts of the film, but haven’t taken the time to truly think about and verbalize why the film moved us as artists.

Whatever your job is in the industry, a well-developed and articulated opinion has power: It garners your respect as a thoughtful, passionate human being, worthy of hiring, befriending and building a connection with. It draws fellow creatives who resonate with your particular sensibilities. And most importantly, it helps you dream and envision the kinds of films you want to make. We created this event to provide a safe forum where we can all fine-tune our taste and build confidence. No job is on the line if you stumble through, we’re all here to learn and grow and have fun together.


We look forward to hearing what you have to say.
