This is 50 🥰 #birthday

Rest In Peace, Mom ♥️

Incredible BTS from Jessy Parr from last weekend's shoot for my new film "Color" - I can't wait to update the film's webpage, but here's a few of my faves! 🥰 Get her on your next film set, peeps! www.jessyparr.com

My partner and I had our 26th wedding anniversary yesterday, and I was narrating this section in the book "Queer Power Couples" during my audiobook recording session at the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library today. And yeah, this. ♥️♥️♥️

Gonna be 50 in less than a month, which feels both totally correct and also wild. Planning a lot of fun things, birthday-month style 🥰

Super exhausted but THRILLED with the weekend of filming for my new queer short film "Color" - what an absolutely amazing cast and crew!! So psyched for this one, y'all ♥️♥️♥️ #SeattleFilm #ShortFilm #QueerFilm

Some of us always knew. Have always been "other" on the gender question. We just literally didn't have the word to describe our truth. #1998 #nonbinary #queer

Is it "eyebrow-raising" if you can't raise your eyebrows 🤔 #FascismSucks

This just in: casting is hard, especially when so many talented and fabulous people audition!! #GoodProblems Excited to really start rocking the pre-production of my new queer short film "Color"! #SeattleFilm #ShortFilm #QueerFilm

Finally watching Sing Sing, hoooooooooly shit ♥️♥️♥️

Went to a fun co-working event in Cap Hill! Got to meet some nice folks and make a few good connections, and used it as a way to finally crack open my feature script to start a second draft! Sometimes we just need a push 🙂

Casting for my next project: "Color," a queer dramatic short film. If you'd like to throw your hat in the ring, you've got till midnight on the 22nd to submit! Check out the TPS listing for more info 🥰 theatrepugetsound.org/auditions/co... #SeattleFilm #Acting #ShortFilm #QueerFilm

Incredible to attend the @nicolaz.bsky.social reading and Q&A at Third Place Books last night - thanks for the invite, @ahsimlibrarian.bsky.social 🥰 Wonderful discussion around queerness in literature, inspiration and what it means to take over someone's senses through story

Super happy to have helped run the "For the Love of Film: Mini Film Fest today! And was very psyched and humbled that Christina Morales' film Peekaboo (where I played the lead Ava" was voted Audience Choice for the evening block! A great day spent in community 🥰 #seattlefilm

Aries Rising Productions helped organize and host this cool event! The "For the Love of Film: Mini Film Fest" is for shorts that really want to be seen by more folks but haven't had the chance 🥰 Both shows sold out, the matinee block is happening now! www.greenerpasturesartfilm.com/classes
