“ You've heard the phrase ‘They said the quiet part out loud’, right? Well, that's what this ad is doing. And it's not just speaking in room tones. It's practically crowing its happiness at the destruction of artists, their tools, and their process.”

Really excited for this one. At @Kanopy our tagline is “Films that Matter”. #Findingthemoney and the easy way it introduces folks to #modernmonetarytheory is all that + more. So critical in this election yr. Kudos to @giant_pictures for looping us in!

@APOOCH Just surprise folks. Be a tough draw every single night.

@BrooklynNets Just have to say the @BrooklynNets digital team is world class. Every piece that comes out is straight fire.

Real long view wisdom here. Vote for a direction, not for perfection. It doesn't exist in politics.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

This is for the young progressives out there. When I was a bit younger, I was terribly disappointed with then President Bill Clinton, who signed the hateful DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell into law. It seemed he had betrayed all of his values and the LGBTQ community that had helped get him elected. There was a part of me that said I would stand on principle and never vote for him again.

But then I remembered, voting isn’t about loving everything about your candidate. Voting for me is about making a strategic move that will best advance the cause of democracy, freedom and peace for all people, even if my candidate of choice really, really let me down.

I supported Bill Clinton for a second term, even though he had just signed DOMA into law, a law that said my love for my husband Brad was not enough to be legally recognized, not ever.

Candidates aren’t perfect. We shouldn’t ever expect them to agree with us always, even on the most basic of things.But we cast our votes as a prayer for them to do better because we know they can, and their hearts are in the right place.

Bill Clinton came around to supporting my community, without exception. It took time. We got there. So don’t waste your vote. Use it wisely, and make the decision, even if it’s hard, to back the best candidate for what the world needs, and to help prevent an utter catastrophe if, heaven forbid, the other one is elected.

Congrats to the #wga and all its members for the resolve that made this moment possible. Let's see the fine print, but thrilled for my friends who can hopefully, very soon, get back to work crafting the characters, stories and worlds we all love.

Nancy was a true visionary. In my early years in distro her Full Frame doc fest was a huge world-expander for me. Will be sorely missed.

[Alex Gibney @alexgibneyfilm]

I'm shattered to learn of the sudden death of Nancy Buirski, a great filmmaker, wonderful doc impresario and good friend. https://t.co/T5pEzZzHPy

@mattzollerseitz We just rolled it out on @Kanopy . So curious to see if it finds a new audience. One of my all time favorites and kind of an important movie in my childhood.

[Jason Chase Tyrrell @indieJCT]

Beyond gross. This isn't an industry anymore. It's a land grab.
