This sounds post-apocalyptic, but aspiring filmmakers and writers really should find and collect DVD commentaries.
So much applicable advice you’d never get in film school because it was discovered in the circumstances of making that movie.
Big cultural step backward to lose easy access to these.

Hey guys, today is ✨ Eid ✨ the festival day that marks the end of Ramadan. If you have some cash to spare, please consider sending our neighbors in Palestine a gift. So many families are suffering, but if we work together we can help make this festival day a little brighter.

✨🌙 eid mubarak, friends 🌙✨
this was my fourth time celebrating ramadan and it was by far the hardest. attempting to remain positive and reflective when so much pain and suffering occurs in our country and across the globe resulted in a heavier toll on the heart than before.
