As the market for niche and boutique releases grow, it’s only natural that we get to see more and more of Jamie’s films get new releases.

Finally, a brief note on the state of this website…
I, unfortunately, had to say goodbye to my cat of fourteen years earlier this month, following his health declining since mid-August. That largely kept me away from my websites, and it’s taken me some time to recover from that loss. While this site is largely up-to-date (minus the plethora of captures I still need to go through), there are still a few pages I would like to fully finish. Alongside today’s update, I did go back through and redo the featured images for each prior post, so that every photo is the same size and aspect ratio.
3,092 captures from Grandview, U.S.A. and 226 captures from Beverly Hills Chihuahua have been added to the gallery! Check them out by clicking the links below.
