Eva Victor’s #SorryBaby will easily end up as one the best films of 2025. It knocked me out.
It also sent me home hankering for a sandwich. 😁
Anyhow, sat down with Victor during May’s @siffnews.bsky.social #SIFF2025 for the Seattle Gay News. Enjoy!

The production design in Slanted is top-notch! Joan's room, especially, helps us understand Joan's world and what she's immersing herself in.

We are back to review Slanted, as part of #SIFF2025. We reflect on the impressive premise and powerful screenplay that helps us explore important themes around beauty standards, belonging, and what it’s like being a Chinese-American teenager.

In DJ Ahmet, Aya finds a way to creatively advocate for herself. And the film is intentional in reminding us that advocacy isn't a one-time event, but something that requires sustained attempts.

Music is so important in DJ Ahmet, and it has different meanings in different contexts. For some, it's a way to connect; for others, it's a way to prove their independence.

Love holds families together. It breaks down walls. It's the courage to protect, and the reason we fight for each other. Cinema captures the moments and declarations that move hearts. What's the one movie quote about love, family, or sacrifice that stayed with you? #SIFF2025 #STVF2025 #cinema #film
We are back with a review of DJ Ahmet, which we watched at #SIFF2025. We reflect on the screenwriting that blends humor & emotional depth. We also share how the cinematography, score, & sound create an immersive experience.
