What is Highly Transmissible?

HT is a weekly film and TV newsletter written and edited by me, award-winning screenwriter and journalist Benjamin Reeves. Each week I feature a film—old or new—that deserves to be watched. There’s also an ongoing series of interviews with top directors, screenwriters and producers, and I often feature additional reading suggestions, a short essay on politics or current events, and guest film recommendations from others in the film community.

This is a weekly newsletter for film lovers and filmmakers. Expect deep cuts, indie darlings, cult classics, and yes, the big blockbusters we all love and adore so much.

And let’s be real, finding the right movie or show for yet another night during the global pandemic is nothing less than an existential quest. And nothing is worse than scrolling through the endless thousands of movies and shows arguing with your significant other (roommates, cat, dog, houseplants, appliances etc.) about what are we going to watch?

Yet you must not surrender to fear and panic. That’s why the HT newsletter exists!
