It's the deportation quota that likely leads to the most injustices. People reduced to numbers. This is what Zygmunt Bauman was getting at when he explained how it was the accountants that sent people to concentration camps.

Filmmaking is always experimental and always collaborative. One person can't hold all the craft in their head, the wisdom is distributed out within the team. A director is only as good as their team–the talent, the DP, the composer, the editor etc.

Good news this week: there's a company out of Texas that has given a bunch of gently used and brand new furniture to victims of the LA fires. Look at that: Texas showing love to California. There's still people doing good things out there. #goodnews

Yes I've worked hard, but my means of survival has also been a gift. A mentor teaching me how dream big, a friend recommending me to a job, a boss trusting me with a big project, a hundred friends and strangers donating to help us rebuild after the fires burned down our home. It's all been gifts.

I’m glad Airbnb is providing free emergency housing, but what would help LA more would be for owners to remove their rentals from Airbnb and put them on the conventional rental market to make more long-term housing available for displaced families. Please consider 🙏🏻

Music makes movies come to life, but it’s a hard process. I’ve started envisioning the score for our short film and it means I have to start making decisions about the precise tone and vibe I think each scene should have. I can no longer keep “my options open”. It’s time to marry some music. 💍
