ON SWIFT HORSES has been nominated for Outstanding Film at the 67th GLAAD Media Awards!

@danminahan is my guest this week! We chat about @onswifthorsesfilm and his BANANAS career in prestige TV. Avail on YouTube and everywhere you listen to podcasts.

The third and final day of the 5th Ponta Lopud Film Festival brought inspiration, dialogue, and unforgettable cinema.

The masterclass “From Novel to Screen” with Daniel Minahan and Oscar-winner Peter Spears revealed the creative journey behind On Swift Horses.

A lively roundtable followed, connecting top industry professionals with emerging regional talent - discussing independent film, creativity, and cinematic futures.

The evening featured the Croatian premiere of On Swift Horses, presented by the filmmakers themselves.

And what better way to end than with a spectacular closing party, powered by our partner Three Cents- music, joy, and celebration of film.

Once again, Lopud showed it lives through art. 💫

When director Daniel Minahan @danminahan set out to bring Shannon Pufahl’s queer novel On Swift Horses – set within the world of the 1950s-era horse race tracks – to the screen, it was never about a faithful adaptation. It was a dialogue. What unfolds in the film isn’t a mimicry or replacement of the book, but an interpretation, Minahan’s own narrative voice in conversation with Pufahl’s. Now, with the movie’s upcoming digital and theatrical release, the two reflect on the process for Shadowplay: from the two different endings to the challenges in reframing the novel’s emotional quietness into its cinematic language.
