Shout out to @hannah_bowring, @bethharrisonnyc and @jamesicrawford who instantly spring to mind as examples of this in my life, mostly when I'm packing to move continents. A special form of friendship indeed.
The consensus over the greatest films of all time has often been decided by the same group of people with a very limited view of what a great movie is, a view that has rarely included films that are not American or European, animation, films directed by Black artists, by women.
I had the great pleasure of seeing lovely @AmyRiceNYC's fantastic documentary #BroadwayRising at Tribeca 2022 - a testament to the resilience of Broadway and NYC.
“Broadway Rising” documents Broadway’s unprecedented 18-month shutdown due to COVID-19 and subsequent reopening on Sept. 14, 2021. https://t.co/IfM96lJotC
Again my heart breaks. For the kids who have to live with this fear. And for the teachers forced to make these impossible decisions. It’s unimaginable, and makes me want to scream.
Holy moly. Locked Down, our little pandemic movie, has been nominated for Best Feature Film at the #NationalFilmAwardsUK! Thrilled to get this recognition for our incredible team - it really was a dream project from start to finish.
When I was 7, my teacher told us to write an article about “world cultures” for school over the weekend. I remembered it late on Sunday so in a panic I made up something called the "Icelandic Fish Festival", figuring said teacher wouldn’t know either way.
This whole letter is beautiful, but this bit particularly got me: "If our script was a prayer, then our movie was a miracle, and the hands doing God's work belonged to the film crew/family we had slowly collected over the course of our careers..." Cannot wait to see this film.
I never thought I'd say this, but the world needs more clowns. Here are some highlights of what I shot with the @dreamdoctorsil as Ukrainian refugees crossed the border into Moldova.
