“Lost Cause” is about the importance of difficult conversations. In that spirit, we made postcards (!!!) to sell at upcoming screenings. Tickets are selling fast for our east coast premiere at PhilaMOCA on Nov 13 and the encore at the Weitzman on the 21st. Tix & info here: linktr.ee/lostcausethefilm

Oh no this is an absolutely devastating loss.
Can't believe D'Angelo has passed at the young age of 51. His music is something I hold very near and dear to my heart. A unique sound and soul that will be missed but forever cherished.

It was an honor and a blast to premiere LOST CAUSE at the Roxie as part of SF Jewish. Thank you all for having me!
The venue was packed and the Q&A afterwards was lively and super interesting. One passionate audience member described our musical as Bo Burnham meets Green Day, which is flattering!

My new movie “Lost Cause” will premiere this Sunday at the Roxie in SF as part of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.
The movie is a radical micro-budget political musical that I’ve been working on since 2020. I’m stoked to share it with the world.
