Hello, I must be going.
By David Hudson on 06/30/2009
On the one hand, it feels like I just got here. On the other, we've been through another Sundance, another Cannes - and now, here comes another summer, and I'll be heading out soon on holiday.
I won't be returning to this particular spot, though you may see my byline appearing now and then elsewhere at IFC.com; the Daily, at least as we've known it and watched it evolve over the past six years, won't be returning, either. But that doesn't mean I'll stop doing what I do; I've been dreaming up a new format and, if all goes according to plan, it'll be rolling out slowly in two phases at an entity that'll be named when that entity's good and ready.
Really, I don't mean to be cryptic, but you know how these things work. In the meantime, have a great summer. Bye for now, but see you soon.

dear david, Thank you for your glorious gatekeeping and for creating a conversation among writers many of whom, in the non-virtual world, barely speak to one another. Please come back, in some version where you can do more writing yourself. best, amy taubin

Drat. You do know that no one out there gathers film info better than you do? I hope something similar pops up with your byline. I'll be on the lookout. Best. Meanwhile I have to find my own film links for now.

"Thanks for the fish"...OK, I couldn't think up anything clever so I opt for a good quote. Seriously though - from GC to IFC to ??? - wherever you go, we will follow. Thank you for all of the value you add to community. I will leave with one more quote.
"Unexpected travel plans are dancing lessons from God"

So tempting to be wildly self-indulgent and dwell on how very, very sorry I am to hear this! But I'm sure this is exciting for you and I'll be very eager to behold and enjoy The New Entity whenever and wherever it appears. Very best to you, David - you are truly peerless at what you do!
David, it goes without saying - you're indispensable. Can't wait to see what's next.
What everyone else said. You're vitally important to the film community. I look forward to the next step.
Just wanted to add my thanks. I look forward to reading whatever you come up with next.

anybody know of any temporary 'daily' alternatives?
I look forward at reading you in your new digs, David.
