We finished shooting LAVENDER two (!!!) years ago and it was my favorite filmmaking experience so far. I loved making this film and the people we made it with and I’m so excited to finally share it with everyone! https://t.co/zATnymT6W9

Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor has a long career of award-worthy performances… and she’s got so much more left in the tank.

[Stacey Russell @stacewrites_]

Invest in originals. Invest in emerging* writers and filmmakers. Make money. Repeat.

*and not to sound like a fuddy duddy but emerging doesn’t necessarily mean “young”. There are some of us for whom this is a second career and we also have incredible stories to tell.

@NinaSerafina Congratulations! Definitely deserved!🙌🏾

I just finished the newest draft of my script, Late Nights In Oakland. I cut nearly 15 pages. If anyone wants to read and/or give notes, DM me.

This is the opening scene.

Don’t let people directing their first features at 21 threaten you if you’re older.

Don’t let people directing their umpteenth feature at 60 threaten you if you’re younger.

Just do the work and continue to dream.

[Chello C. Houston @ChelloHouston]

@akmorgan_ That’s dope. Congratulations on that!

My short film, Supernigga, got rejected every major festival but got 400k views on YouTube organically in a month and had A24 and hella studios begging to make the feature. Moral of the story is there is no one path for all. I choose the internet over festivals.
