Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
Mark Duplass defended 20-year-old filmmaker Kane Parsons against online speculation that Parsons didn't actually direct the upcoming A24 film 'Backrooms'. Duplass, who stars in the film, responded directly to a fan on X (formerly Twitter), stating that Parsons was "100% in control" on set and more composed than many directors three times his age. The film, based on Parsons' 2022 web series, premieres May 2 and makes Parsons A24's youngest director ever.
