Natives in Hollywood would not be where they are today without this man. *I* would not be where I am today. He made the Sundance Film Festival & Sundance Native Lab I was in.

So much more than an advocate, he created space. He was one of the few who invested in our future.

To Robert Redford 🕊️ RIP

RIP to Bill Moyers, about whom there is so much to say, but let's start with: what an interviewer. His sit-down with Maurice Sendak gives such a clear sense of who Sendak is & the way they immediately engage on big ideas is fantastic. vimeo.com/33284145

"The Order" on Hulu is based on real life, the 1980s neo-Nazi cell led by Aryan Nation dropout Bob Matthew's, and features The Turner Diaries, a novelized map for neo-Nazi revolt that Timothy McVeigh kept under his pillow, and apparently influenced Jan 6 participants.

Well done, worth a watch.

'The Studio,' Seth Rogen's AppleTV+ series, hilariously skewers the movie business with cameos from Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Zoe Kravitz and more.
