my very dark sense of humor

[Judith Helfand @HelfandJudith]

It is clear to me. I make films with an audience in mind, watching together in a room with a big screen, to feel, think, chortle after 2 plus years of kitchen q&a's I got to be with a NYC audience and listen to LAUGHTER. No wonder I was sad. Oy A MAKHAYA. https://t.co/KkOjdCGUa6

[Judith Helfand @HelfandJudith]

Theo and I are making a playlist for the morning so we can dance while hauling our tukhuses (sp?) out of the house - cause sometimes it just takes us or tukhus a long time to get to PS75. And along the way to making this playlist I found MR. REED... oh joy at Bandcamp.

@dawnporter freaking travesty... no words. i guess that means the hotlines helping women with funding to go out of state (cross country?) are going to heat up and need a lot more funding. They don't call them TRAPPed for nothing.. @dawnporter

I love the sound of this. I am voting YES for sure. Do you have the option of starting work on Tuesday and having Sat-Monday or Starting work on Monday and ending EOD Thursday?

BREAKING: Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation that would make a 32-hour workweek the standard in America —with no loss in pay.

I just signed Theo up for one month of sleep away camp whose tagline - camp with a social conscious, a Yiddeshe tam, and bunks named in honor of Anne Frank and Emanuel Ringleblum. My existential crisis between the ring and the land is truly over.

[Judith Helfand @HelfandJudith]

@dawnporter wow... now that is a nice way to wrap up a year lady dawn!

[Judith Helfand @HelfandJudith]

@soniakennebeck REALITY WINNER is a stunning piece of storytelling, and revelatory no matter what, but the timing of this totally independent release is [luckily] synergistic magic. Be prepared to take in some brilliant "you can't write this shit" irony👍https://t.co/wkf2EtyiDL

[Judith Helfand @HelfandJudith]

@soniakennebeck @abigaildisney @IFCCenter What a wonderful milestone and tribute to your values and guts so very well matched for this courageous, harrowing all too real story of Reality Winner.. You and Ines have much to be proud of.. the people will show up and your film will make your subjects feel cared for & heard.

[Judith Helfand @HelfandJudith]

@monanicoara congrats - they are so very lucky to have you. and yes nothing tastes as good as security feels. Mazel Tov Mona much love.

@SolaceCinema @ThatRebecca wow... my nine year old uses slay girly pop.

@storebrandbrown My most recent feature LOVE & STUFF which was on POV last September 5th -- it started out as a short for NYT op-docs in 2014 same title.. but it quotes almost all of my first person films dating back 25 years ago with A HEALTHY BABY GIRL which was on POV in 1997.

@melsil @_CarolMorley My heart is full !!!!!

@abigaildisney @NaomiAKlein If you loved the book watch the interview @NaomiAKlein did with Amy Goodman on the day she launched her book tour in D.C. Warm, generous, funny, kind and more insightful than ever. https://t.co/sBvhSMTCJ3

Instead of writing another thread explaining how capitalism itself is built like a pyramid scheme—

which includes stealing your labor & other tangible assets & converting it into artificial currencies

—here’s a @MorePerfectUS video that does it in 15min

Thank you Women & Hollywood and your inspired publisher @melsil whose vision includes transforming a single interview into a doorway to a filmmakers' trajectory, her intentional body of work and the chance to spend time with her ever alive voice. https://t.co/Pdy2hw3esT

On way out of town last Thursday a headline pierced through my inbox [and my heart] like a knife. Nancy Buirski? NO! We were supposed to have lunch this September and I was going to see your exploration of Midnight Cowboy when you did the q/a. Lesson? Don't wait for that lunch.

[Judith Helfand @HelfandJudith]

@Jennihermoso thank you for being so brave, so bold, so smart, so human, so powerful -- but you must be so tired.. freaking exhausted, and just when you should be able to rest, celebrate, leverage this moment for yourselves you have to deal with all this BS. I so hope you get to rest soon..
