This is especially disturbing because there is no Stonewall without trans people!! I’m truly disgusted by the National Park Service!

I can’t even count the number of conversations I’ve had with a producer or director while walking the dog.

Seeing Blue Velvet as a teenager, totally changed the way I thought about movies forever. Thank you, David Lynch. Such an amazing artist and human being. 💙

The documentary Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project, has stayed with me since I saw it. It’s a beautifully, artfully crafted film befitting the brilliance of one of the best poets to have lived. So sad we have lost her.

It’s called “The Time My Grandmother Was Held Hostage by Bank Robbers” and it’s about the time my grandmother was held hostage by bank robbers in her own home in 1983. I didn’t shoot it myself, I had a wonderful DP.
