About russ

Russ Ryan is an avid fan of movie posters -- sometimes even more so than the actual movies themselves!

Heads up: Miranda July’s new critically-acclaimed film, The Future, is going wider this week and it looks like the indie darling director/performance artist is getting ready for her close-up — even if her cerebral style is sometimes a little upside down!

Barbie Does Farrah
