I’m so proud to announce that my short film, HELP ME UNDERSTAND, will be going to Sundance next month.
I can’t wait for you to see it.
I’m even more proud of the people who worked with me to bring this to life.
These actors are the alpha and omega of this film. There is nothing without their heartfelt madness.

These are the filmmakers who gave their time and spirit to keeping things funny and weird and sad.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting 11 talented directors recently who are also new friends. They’re now all on my emotional speed dial, which is kind of a shame for them.

I’m extremely happy to say that my new screenplay THREE HOURS won the @chifilmfest Pitch competition at Industry Days! @hollihop and I pitched our hearts out, and man, everyone’s project was a film that has to be made. Go read all of the pitches and tell me I’m wrong.
Thanks to Anthony Kaufman, @keslowcamera @girlsgotta @jonah_zeiger @jc_farris_film and the whole CIFF ensemble.

Besties doing some feminism.
Guys. I’m gonna vote for a ten gallon trash bag if that’s what emerges from the convention. But seriously. Buddy. Sit down. #bloomberg #lfg #2020 #warren #wwaeplaysthehits

I’m so, so grateful to be traveling East to get a medical-grade infusion of wisdom, insight, and sage advice as I develop this screenplay. Thank you, @hamptonsfilm @hollihop and @recursive_pictures

Color theory, brought to you by Dan Flavin. Blue filter makes red pigment seem black. Turns any boring skin into a masterpiece. It’s the antimakeup America really needs right now, trust me. #orthochromatic #colortheory #danflavin #marfa
My sincere apologies to @chinatifoundation for the illicit photo. I promise I began with an unmediated experience.
Me and @tarinanderson! And @lonelysandwich and @sandwichvideo! #femalefilmmakerfriday
Black voters saved America.
Black organizers saved America.
A Black woman saved America.
Again.
Making funnies today. #wwaeplaysthehits
Tomorrow THREE HOURS is going to be read aloud for the first time, with some of Chicago’s best actors. This will be the first time it says its name, and breathes its first breath. It’s a remarkable thing, filmmaking. Thank you to @prcasting , @sagaftra Chicago, @hollihop @shelleygusto , @girlsgotta , @chifilmfest , and the other members of this village helping to raise it.
