Why continue to make art? Making art is an act of rebellion. Loving yourself is an act of rebellion. Loving other people is an act of rebellion. Caring about people, community, nature, is an act of rebellion. Don’t let the apathy sink in. Don’t let the cynicism sink in. Don’t be like them.

Couldn’t be more excited to have received Haunted Reels 2! @davidlawsonjr.bsky.social curated yet another impressive collection of stories by very talented filmmakers like @mikeflanaganfilm.com @crobertcargill.bsky.social @petecilella.bsky.social @aprilwolfe.bsky.social and many more.

DESCENDENT: Aliens, anxiety, and a false sense of control. Peter Cilella's directorial debut approaches "Trauma Horror" in a way I haven't seen yet, with a solid sense of instability. Ross Marquand and Sarah Bolger are great as a couple expecting their first child amidst freaky unknowns. #SXSW

If you don’t want Americans dependent on federal programs, pay them a fair fucking wage.

In the wake of the fires, LA production is hurting even more than before. People can’t afford to live here if there isn’t work here. Sign our petition at the link in bio STAYinLA.org and share #STAYinLA widely. (And thank you to hireyoungprofessionals.com for designing our campaign!)

Every Sound of Freedom super fan now applauding the Gaetz nomination is enough to make your head explode

Turns out all lives did not matter

THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT. A lo-fi time travel think piece in the vain of PRIMER. Two great performances from Riley Dandy and Adam David Thompson anchor a grounded, gritty, heady amazing first feature by longtime Benson/Moorhead editor Michael Felker. A must see for sci-fi fans! Fucking LOVE it.

“I am innocent of insurrection and if these charges cause me to lose the next election I will do it again.”

Roderick Usher is the boomer-est of all boomers. What an incredible show and searing indictment of a greedy generation. I’m in awe @flanaganfilm.bsky.social

I am not sure there is a better use of a pop song in a movie than “Both Sides Now” at the end of Hereditary

Loving the ratio of chill/talented writers to right wing trolls over here. I don’t miss Kevin Sorbo.

I've decided to put out feelers for freelance work to help soften the blow of these duel strikes. It is not off to a promising start... If anyone is looking for design or podcast production services and has a budget more robust than $2, I would be happy to chat.

A lot of new writers have joined Bluesky this week. Are you one of them? Looking for readers? Looking for other writers to collab with? Post below who you are and what you write, then surf the thread to find new folks to follow and share with.

If anyone’s looking for a new podcast for parents and kids, I launched this earlier this year. I’ve been fortunate to have amazing guests and storytellers! bio.site/onemorestory...
