Just over four years ago, Ben Christie was a senior at Baylor University studying professional selling and had a job lined up at Oracle in Austin. Now, he runs The Urban Rescue Ranch, a farm sanctuary and wildlife rescue in Waco, Texas with dozens of wild animals ranging from kangaroos to emus to capybaras. Online, he creates half-comedic, half-educational videos featuring the different animals on the farm. He has amassed millions of followers and hundreds of millions of views across his TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram pages. He is continuing to grow both his following and rescue capabilities.

2025

A very special memory from Academy Award nominee Coralie Fargeat writer, director, and producer of THE SUBSTANCE, debuted by Letterboxd on 17 February 2025. “30 years ago, when I was 17 years old, I made a little Star Wars film. Using my family's camcorder, I animated my toys frame by frame in stop motion, disguised my friends as Ewoks and stormtroopers, and edited on a VHS video recorder (which was the top device at the time!). It was such an amateur endeavor, but everything I loved about making films was already there… It was the place where I felt free, passionate and alive, and able to fully express myself. It’s after I made this little film that I knew that I wanted to be a director... Today as I am nominated for Best Director, I can’t help but remember this little film... Follow your dreams!” —Coralie Fargeat
