It is wise to travel with an N95. That has been true for years, but even if you stopped doing it, now’s a good time to restart. Ventilation on planes is quite poor during boarding and deplaning, with CO2 levels in the thousands. It’s easy enough to protect yourself and others—just wear a mask.

Please, please, please, see this movie when it's in theaters. It's a gem. Eva Victor is incredible: writer, director, lead actor. If you complain about the state of movies, you have no excuse. Support this film as it's amazing in its humanity, beauty, and subtlety. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc0j...

I reached the top 5% in the BBC Comedy Collective out of 1600 applicants. Even though I did not reach the final, I’m on their radar. Celebrating!!
There are some exec producers on here, as well as filmmakers/directors, prodcos and agents. Though that’s not to say I wouldn’t like to see that part of the creative community grow still further. Firmly believe it’s doable. 😊 (2/2)
