2025 was a lot of things, and Instagram was not one of them for me! But a very special shout out to this highlight which has since been “fact checked”… and thus deserves to be marked and remembered.

Over the last few months we’ve been working with Nava Mau to curate a special evening for emerging queer and trans filmmakers in LA and on September 8, we hosted the first ever Level Ground Film Salon!
Designed to defy categorization, the night was about crossing genre and gender to consider what is right, just, and required in this political moment. We fostered authentic community, ate a delicious dinner from @choas__kitchen , screened three amazing short films, and had a deep discussion moderated by the fabulous @thesonia .
🍋 In Nava Mau’s (@navamau ) “all the words but the one,” personal histories and entanglements weave a tapestry of healing.
🌈 In Nana Duffuor’s (@nanaduffuor ) “Rainbow Girls,” a true story is fictionalized with kineticism and humor.
🎥 And in Chase Joynt’s (@chasejoynt ) “Between You & Me,” a difficult situation is documented with startling intimacy.
Thank you Nava, Nana, and Chase for sharing your work! And to everyone who joined us in what will hopefully be the first of many more film salons.

Meet Richie and Fanny Cox, the alt right anti-LGBTQ “journalists” we are unleashing into the world for our hybrid documentary, Inhabit. Our deepest gratitude to @chickeneggfilms for their absolutely vital development grant, which single-handedly funded our first shoot. Next stop – Vegas! And some verrrrry exciting cameos... 🤩🌹✨
If you’re looking for your next weekend watch, we’re excited to announce that “Framing Agnes” is now streaming FOR FREE on @tubi !
Directed by @chasejoynt , the genre-bending documentary reckons with the role media and medicine play in the making and shaping of trans life.
The film won two awards at its @sundance festival premiere in 2022, and went on to win the @glaad Media Award for Best Documentary.
We loved every second of screening NO ORDINARY MAN at the Paradise Theater in Toronto as a part of the Queer Cinema Club. So many shared laughs and reminders that we are all we need when together.
Thanks endlessly to @peterknegt for the vision and the hustle.
