Guillermo Del Toro and an audience full of people at The Grove in LA told me to tell you to get your ass to the theater to see I Love Boosters.

Do it tonight or tomorrow so we get the opening weekend count

We worked with @Panavision to talk about I Love Boosters, the process of getting the big, bold, colors, and why it HAS to be seen on a big screen.

Letting people go who aren’t headed in the same direction you are is a form of self respect.

A Mother’s Dua.

We’re so excited to share this film with the world. It was truly a labor of love. The inspiration behind it was our lived experiences with our mothers, grand mothers, aunts, friends, & the women who took care of us as if we were their own.

Assata Skahur has passed, confirmed by the Cuban government. Inna lilahi wa Inna ilayhi rajiun. A giant who paved the way for so many, may her revolutionary spirit continue to live on through us and our efforts for a just and liberated world.

"This is not the time to feel depressed or defeated. This is not the time to forget about struggling or to forget about all those who have been railroaded into dungeons. Rather, it is the time to feel outraged, to feel determined, to fight against this government."

— Assata Shakur

ANDOR writer Dan Gilroy has released a statement critiquing the Trump administration and commenting on the parallels between the show and Disney’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

“As one of the writers on the Disney+ drama Andor, we spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week.

Donald Trump’s tools of governance, coercion and intimidation, have found focus on Hollywood. Faced with a social media firestorm, fear, and an FCC head threatening “they can do this the easy way or hard way,” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel for speaking his mind. I deeply disagree but acknowledge it was a difficult decision. If you believe otherwise, wait until fate knocks on your door and demands you choose between conscience and hardship — because if you work in this industry that day is coming.

The suspension bought time, but not much. Disney now stands at a crossroads: terminate Kimmel’s contract and become pavement for the road to a brave new Trumpian world; or stand for the First Amendment and take the onslaught. There’s not much at stake, just free speech, the oxygen that sustains life in this town.

Trump’s aim is to control what we make and say. The concept seems far off and abstract. Neither is true. Is it hard to conjure a new oversight office or cabinet seat? Is it difficult to picture Trump toadies deplaning at LAX with binders of banned topics and mandated alternatives? You’ll meet them when you have to pitch for approval or get grilled about subversive co-workers.
Regardless of how the jack-booted attack on Jimmy Kimmel is resolved, this isn’t a skirmish. It’s a siege. The first thing Putin did after taking power was silence shows that criticized him. Artists are censored first because they fear us most. The fact this isn’t new doesn’t diminish the shock of the last few days. The majority in Hollywood believed their job was entertainment — the bolder souls attempted to inject theme and commentary — but for everyone this has suddenly become Westworld real.

Whether you’re reading this on line at Blue Bottle or killing time before your 3 o’clock Zoom or staring at a glowing screen unable to sleep, we have all become characters in a story where our actions carry actual weight and consequence. Our industry faces the most sophisticated, venomous, creeping evil in America’s history. There’s no standing above this conflict. No impartial observers. If you’re on the sidelines you’ve made a choice and must live with it.

Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written — the pen is in your hand.”

Yall ain’t got no integrity these days. Political violence happens under our noses on a daily basis and yall worried about the death of a man who notoriously creates fear, misinformation and most of the rhetoric used for violence across America
