also who are my fellow filmmakers here? a gal’s been slow to transition here and get off of the formerly-twitter app.
what’s everyone working on?

personally, I’ve been in the doc world most lately. editing 1 short doc and 1 doc series pilot, and making a feature doc that’s been so exciting. I have plenty of writing to do for narrative projects, but lots of effort and energy have been focused on these docs.

here! I’m here. I’ve been here but forgot. 15 years of habit being online in a space I met so many great people. but that space has changed and it’s time to accept that — the people I admire haven’t! but to be on that app at all feels like giving support to a fraud and a nazi.
