Wishing everyone heading to #AFF this week safe travels, and remember to be curious and have fun!

And don't be shy-- introduce yourself to every person you stand in line next to, side beside during panels, ask them about their work. These are your people, so use this excuse to meet more of them! 😊✨

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

Whaaaat?! WORLDS APART made the ScreenCraft Fellowship Quarterfinals! Sadly, it looks like this will be the last one. Truly sad to see them go. #bittersweet @screencraft.bsky.social #scriptsky #filmsky

This is the most thoroughly researched article on the problem that I’ve read. We should spread it far and wide, even if those who need to read it the most never will.
America’s Right-Wing Propaganda Problem Might Be Terminal - Dame Magazine

It’s true. THE BLOB inspires greatness.
At last night’s LAFCA Awards, ANORA director Sean Baker read the letter he sent to FANGORIA in 1988, praising Chuck Russell’s THE BLOB.

What happened next inspired him to pursue filmmaking.

Great things happen when you write to The Postal Zone!

Love this!!!
This was the best action script I have ever read. I was reading it in my writing shed and had to walk back to the house sobbing my face off in front of the neighbors. Nobody writes like Phoenix, she's a future Oscar winner.
