In the year 2025, without getting into details about whether it's business or personal, we need to incorporate this mindset & tell people that, we weren't a good fit. Rinse & repeat and keep it moving. Trust me. Save your energy.

@Michell33650674 I have been having the same prediction in my sleep. They’re almost never wrong. It’s a premonition thing.

SPAIN?! 🇪🇸 What Somalia Wants has been selected to screen at the 36th Girona Film Festival in Barcelona! However, I will have to withdraw from the festival becuz they do not have any more in-person space to screen it. They want to put the pilot on their streaming platform. Nope!

I'M SHOCKED.

After living in Japan for over two years, I recently visited the USA with my wife. It made me realize that the USA is dysfunctional in so many ways and has such a low-quality standard across the board.

Here are the things I noticed:

Until Hollywood change & stop hiring hearing writers to tell our stories, that they finally grace BIPOC & Black deaf queer creators the opportunity to create our own stories, Hollywood will always be viewed of the land of gatekeeping our BIPOC Deaf voices. #TellBlackDeafStories

Happy Friday! This is what writing looks like. You can’t rush creative process. From feature film to episodic television pilot to musical stage. True passion for the arts.

celibacy becomes very easy for a woman when she realizes that there is literally no man worth being involved with if he isn't helping to improve her life and loving her correctly. she can go months on top of months, it’s really nothing.

Sundance just opened their call for film submission for their 2025 edition. Their feature film early bird fee is now $75. Last year they received over 17,000 film submissions in 2024. You’d better off submitting to smaller festivals. Otherwise, you’re donating your money to them!

I asked for Black interpreters for the Masterclass: The Future of Representation panel.

No disrespect to the interpreters they assigned, but they gave us two white interpreters for this specific panel at the #TribecaFilmFestival.
