And not enough access to intimacy.

I was just thinking about how Hollywood can't make Dirty Dancing today because they're unimaginative and greedy.
Unpopular opinion: i think we have too much access to sex/sex content

My Achilles heel is the approval of my family; I need that dealt with immediately.

Because it is in constant conflict with who I am/want to be.

I may have to craft a Letterboxd list of genuinely fruitful, wild, and bold movies that fuck. Because I am worried for y’all. I need y’all to watch movies that aren’t handed to you on a platter by an industry that is allergic to artistry at this point.

Free women know how to tap into their flow state with an ease that untethers them from perfection.

That’s beautiful. Inspired by their desires and excited to meet it. They leave plenty of room for mistakes and grace.

They adjust their lives after being changed.

ironically, i feel very equipped to deal with this current version of society because a lot of people sound like my parents, LMAO. yearning, crying, praying, gnashing teeth supposedly in search of community and love and affection for YEARS without actually trying to exemplify what they desire.

the outstanding limited series to lacklustre season 2 pipeline must be stopped. plan a multi-season arc or commit to the self-contained story!
The Penguin is really good, I’m glad I watched it, but my god am I fucking over the eight episode miniseries format. Leads to writing problems and pacing problems every time.

My colleagues and I live blogged The Six Triple Eight. It's...irredeemable.
For anyone just satisfied that Tyler Perry’s film highlights this real-life battalion of Black and brown women, know that there is a great 14-minute video on YouTube that does that better.

Friends —

I'm hosting a filmmakers' town hall on Zoom next Thursday at 7pm ET to discuss community-based approaches to filmmaking as it's meant to be, where money & distribution don't have to get in the way.

CALL: Cinematic Artists' Liberation Lab

Not to hammer the nail in deeper, but this thin ass veil means that anything goes, which can be amazing or heinous lol.

So if you have a dream, you might as well devote your heart to it.

You should also REALLY EVALUATE if you want it for validation/fame or bc it brings you joy.

No one has taken me up for a spicy commission yet but they are still very much open. Shoot me an email or DM if you’re interested.

I feel very creative today. I’m gonna write and enjoy a beautiful afternoon around Brooklyn.
What’s on the itinerary for Sunday on the Skyline?

We brunching? Cleaning? Or laid up?

My newsletter is back with a new piece.

I’m so excited. I put my foot in this, and it was so fun. Let the creative dam break.

The Night Jazz Taught Me to Tell the Truth
When an Instagram ad led me to a jazz listening party, I didn't know it would teach me the beauty of being unpolished

I cannot wait for someone to make a film around Ornette Coleman and the insertion of free/improvisational jazz during the heights of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Dizzy Gillespie.

THAT... ugh. Like. I crave it. Need it.
