Grief can be all consuming.
Art can be all encompassing.
Yet love can be all healing.
How lucky we are to be humans. To live. To breathe. To heal. To hurt. And to do it all over again. How privileged are we to walk this world.
For the rest is silence.

In 12 days directing my first film. With actors and lights and sound and everything.
It’s only 4 minutes. But I’m hosting 20 auditions. Making a shot list. Planning out the colors. The mood. Even original music.
I’m going to be slow & want retakes for coverage. 1/2 #filmsky #scriptsky

So honored the macabre even almost 2 weeks after pub is still finding its audience and still ranking high. I appreciate your support!
If books about horror, art, colonialism and queerness are you thing you should buy THE MACABRE.

I start film school today so I’ve taken up over the past week photography to learn ISO, aperture settings etc!
I’m not perfect yet, but still getting the hang of manual mode under different lighting.
The ISO is a little too high I think but we live and we learn.
