Never would I have ever imagined I’d be asked to channel Amy Poehler and Charlize Theron in one single #voiceover audition - standard American & French accents. Oui! #actresslife

I was so proud of this episode. And as an actress-filmmaker-TV producer & host-DP/shooter-editor-“colorist”-recipe developer-brand researcher-etc, worked SO hard on this episode. My opening montage! 🥵 Have you seen it? Let me know what you think, especially film & TV colleagues

Look who joined me in the TV studio! My dear friend Barry Alexander Brown is my guest on the next episode of @luciavegantv.bsky.social. More coming. Stay tuned!

I love these episodes! Whether you already know or not, come see these historical & contemporary Black Vegans I’ve had the immense pleasure of having on my show.

I am so grateful to the three television networks for allowing me to expose the ills of this system and not only not silencing my voice and those of my incredible guests, but actually celebrating and encouraging it. Especially in these times. #TVseries #producer #TVhost #journalist #activist

A bit of #Calabria in #NYC. So lovely meeting these calabresi, speaking ‘u dialettu nostru #calabrese, and talking about the immensely rich history of La #RegioneCalabria — intellectual, botanical, geographical, industrial, linguistic… Why I left #Hollywood to make #films there

It is disturbing that we all have to go to jobs and pay bills while fascists are committing genocide & consolidating fascism worldwide.

If you’re not watching my TV series, tune in now!

My heart hurts, with millions around the globe. Rob Reiner was one of the most good ones — beyond his immense talent. He stood [up] for Humanity. 🥀

A new film just debuted in Italy based on historical events around the ‘ndrangheta, the most powerful of Italian organized crime. 1/3

Any other women on here who are adapting IP for the screen? How’s it going?

Please stop talking about Method Acting. You don’t know the first thing about it and are just embarrassing yourselves while spreading disinformation among the stupid.

Remembering #DianeKeaton She expressed so much in varied landmark films, but as #actress #screenwriter #filmmaker #abortionrights activist and american New Yorker in an Italian immigrant family, it’s this scene from #francisfordcoppola’s #TheGodather Part II that will remain etched in my memory.

Signed! But I’m an independent film & television producer who controls all my affiliations — as an activist who is vegan, I have made a point of boycotting such companies since my teens. Many of you are way more successful in the industry than I so you have much more impact. Have you signed?

So good to be back on set. Filming in New York, another Italian role. #actress #attrice

The next episode of the show is political so enjoy this delicious one 👇🏽as a precursor and ❗️SUBSCRIBE❗️so you don’t miss important topics that affect all of us!

Hey! Some of us “beauty influencers” do that seemingly vapid work as offshoots of our TV series & political activism, diametrically opposed to the dangers of “maha” and facism. FWIW I’ll add that for a small number of us (at least one: me) the above are also related of our film & theater work.

The rest of us call it the consolidation of fascism in the U.S.

I do it for the animals but you might because you’re not a baby cow ;-)

TV studio today. I’m filming myself while on camera talent scripted unscripted (and more I won’t reveal: spoilers), then recording my own voiceovers, and editing. How’s that for one woman?

What’s a film performance where you first discovered an actress you’d never seen before and instantly recognized that she possessed extraordinary, standout talent in the art of acting?

What is the difference between @adobe.com #premierepro and beta?

Call for total liberation. In this clip from a @luciavegantv.bsky.social episode that aired on television in 2023 and is available for streaming on YouTube, my guests and I bring up the topic of Israel and our concern for what has been *known* to be happening in #Palestine #Gaza.
