Official Selection for "Medication" to one of my fav film festivals. So excited to be included. #grateful #filmmaking #indiefilm #womendirectors #womeninfilm

Listening to NPR reporters trying to keep their normal news voices and talk about things as if they're just saying normal stuff is starting to feel insane.

Plenty of terrible things are happening. You do not need to make things up. Also, people talking about things are not the same as them happening. Focus on what is happening and fight that stuff - forget the other stuff. We are here. Now.

I don't know what my current upstairs neighbors are doing with their microwave but the beeping has been multiple times every 15 minutes for like three hours. What... are you doing???

When I was a high school teacher I remember a kid forged HER mom's signature on a friend's permission slip for field trip and I told them both I was turning them in to admin b/c not only did they lie, they also insulted my intelligence by thinking I would buy it. No idea why I'd be thinking of that.

It's easy to become insular. I remember a time in my life where I had never met a filmmaker. I now feel like everyone in the world is one.

Hey, BlueSky - these wildfires in WNC are scary as hell and we could use all the support we can get. Thanks.

My short femme noir ghost story, Medication, is cooking.

My editor on Erased the other day: "Tristan broke me today. 'This is my kid, I send him a check every month,' has me crying right now. Way to wreck me, bro. ...Snotty tears right now."

My short femmenoir, "Medication", premieres this Saturday at 2:30PM at the Maryland International Film Festival. If you're in the Hagerstown, MD area, grab a ticket! #filmmaking

Major safety issues. Important to re-post.

Every time we say no to something it is opening another door. And that's okay. And that's good. And that's human.

Would anyone want to just sit around and listen to records and not talk the whole time?

A federal judge in Maryland issued an even more sweeping restraining order on Thursday, surpassing an earlier one from the same day. The order broadly prohibits the Trump administration from implementing any future “reductions in force,” such as this week’s directive to terminate half of the

Against all of the contrary evidence, I continue to believe in human beings. Despite our flaws and our fuck ups, I think we can do and be better. I appreciate all of the people who keep my faith going.

Let's just assume the day is going to be the kind of day where we all need one (1) bird, so here is your bird; feel free to stop here throughout your day and regard this bird okay good photo by me

Bragging that you didn't use an intimacy coordinator on your film is a giant red flag.

I urge you to read the EO's for yourself. There is a LOT of sound byte fearmongering click bait out there. It's bad enough in reality. We don't need to add hyperbole.

working with DPs be like: "What if... a lamp in this corner?"

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

Our National Parks are so beautiful.

Today was production meetings, gluten free mac n cheese for comfort, managing rescheduling for film shoots, and passing around boycott flyers. Like ya do.

It is time to visit the library. It is time to support a local business. It is time to sing. It is time to hand out stickers, flyers, invitations. It is time to send a letter in the mail with a brand new beautiful stamp.

Art. Music. Dancing. Theatre. Spread it. Story is how we learn, change, grow, and create culture. Tell your stories.

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social
