Here are the VOD platforms where you can watch my latest film, "Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time." Also, now on HULU! "A gorgeously rendered, unexpectedly moving appraisal of the life and craft of one of the best-loved literary voices." @LATimes @VonnegutDoc

It is with profound sadness that I report my dear, sweet wife, Linda Weide, of blessed memory, passed away on Christmas Day. My tribute to her in the L.A. Times only scratches the surface. If you click on the attached, please read to the end. You would have loved her.

Most every Saturday, Linda and I would lunch at a neighborhood café. This face I'd see across the table from me, this lovely open-hearted optimism, is what made me look forward to every new day. And this pic was taken after a diagnosis of a fatal disease. She was just the best.❤️

This morning, in Paris, Woody Allen starts filming his 50th film as writer/director. In two months, he turns 87. And reports claiming he is retiring after this film are as accurate as those saying the title is "Wasp 22." And his father lived to be 100. Have a great shoot, Woody.

In the wake of Linda's death, there's been so much paperwork to deal with. Today, I had to fill out a form that asked for marital status. From habit, I started to mark "Married," stopped, then took a full minute before marking "Single" for the first time in 25 years. I hated it.

Since @RonanFarrow has greatly shaped public sentiment about #WoodyAllen , what happens when we learn that Farrow's work is entirely untrustworthy? I bring you @Bloodoftheland 's exposé of the Pulitzer Prize winner who seems to get everything wrong.

2/2 I stand by Woody Allen, not because he is a great artist, but because he’s innocent. I am honored to call him my friend. Happy birthday, Woody.

@else_unique Yes, just look at her! Proof that I always was an overachiever. 🙂

Linda, during our annual pre-Xmas window-shopping day in Beverly Hills, 2013. We bought very few windows that year. I miss this girl so much, but the photos make me smile. I'll say it again -- how lucky was I?

I just came across this photo of Linda. July 8, 2018. This cheerful, life affirming photo really captures the soul of my soulmate. Look at that face when I tell you this was taken AFTER her diagnosis of a progressive, terminal illness. That's who she was. ❤️❤️❤️
