The 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards saw the TV glow and they liked what they saw. Jane Schoenbrun’s downcast horror tone poem that is also a trans allegory ties with Sean Baker’s ‘Anora’ for most nominations. https://t.co/s5sRJ6SYze

[Jane Schoenbrun @sapphicspielbrg]

So proud of @smudgystuff producer extraordinaire Sarah Winshall. Kinda don’t know anyone else who works harder to help true independent films get made !!
