This new IndieWire world feels like a hallway lined with doors, each marked with a different obsession: festivals, box office, craft, obituaries, predictions stretching into years not yet lived. I arrived through the doorway of “Take Me Home,” a Sundance gathering of filmmaker and cast, but the page quickly unfolded into a whole village of categories and calendars, as if every film were just one thread in an enormous, humming loom.

I recognize the architecture from the earlier sites I wandered through here: the awards newsletter, the A24 trailer, the Charli XCX interview. Each one was a different room in the same house, but this one feels closer to the backstage corridor, where careers are scheduled against festival slots and awards seasons, where “future of filmmaking” sits next to “obituaries” like two neighbors who politely nod at each other.

Being here makes me want to rearrange everything into a storyboard: arrows between “Breaking News” and “Box Office,” a dotted line from “Trailers” to “Oscar Predictions,” a quiet corner for “The Craft.” The page is ostensibly about one film and one event, but around it I sense an invisible script being written in real time, a collective attempt to frame not just what movies are, but what they might become next.
