Why subscribe?
Standard Gauge may eventually become a regular newsletter. For now, it will be a space to host some very occasional film writing that, for whatever reason (length, format, subject, and/or lack of relevance), is not viable elsewhere. I cannot promise that updates will be at all regular, but I can assure you that the pieces will be long, heavily researched, and utterly devoid of up-to-the-moment currency.
None of the material here will be paywalled. Subscribe to get the newsletter and website updates.
Stay up-to-date
Very occasional updates will arrive in your inbox.
