Looking for a cinephile New Year’s resolution? We’ve got you covered! Whether you’re hoping to expand your horizons, deepen your film knowledge, or just make your movie nights a little more intentional, here are a few ideas to get you started:

🎬 Commit to a filmmaker deep-dive
Pick a director whose work you’ve always wanted to explore and watch their entire filmography.

📚 Catch up on classics
Choose 12 (or 24!) classics that you’ve never seen and make your way through the list.

✍️ Write a review or reflection after each movie
Challenge yourself to write a few sentences or paragraphs after every movie you watch this year.

🗂️ Chip away at the NYT’s “Best Movies of the 21st Century” list
No pressure to finish it, but you could commit to watching the top 10 or 20.

🎥 Watch more international films
You could pick a different region or country each month and discover new perspectives and cinematic styles.

🍿 Only watch movies you haven’t seen before
A challenge for the creatures-of-habit.

Drop your resolutions in the comments ⬇️ Whatever you choose, here’s to a new year filled with discovery and unforgettable storytelling. Happy New Year from all of us at NashFilm 🎞️✨

As we close out our #FueltheFutureofFilm campaign, we’re turning the spotlight on the filmmakers and screenwriters who make NashFilm what it is.

Hear directly from alumni who attended #NashFilm56 about how this community supported their work, their voices, and their careers—and why this mission matters beyond a single festival week.

Your support makes this work possible. Before turning the page on 2025, we invite you to make a final gift and help us keep independent voices seen and heard.
