A very belated thank you to Film Independent (@filmindependent ) for honoring “Your Touch Makes Others Invisible” and director Rajee Samarasinghe with the 2026 Film Independent Spirit Award for Truer Than Fiction.
We haven’t posted much since then, but we are so grateful for the life the film has continued to have over the past few months, and for all the festivals, spaces, writers, programmers, friends, and audiences who have screened, supported, and spent time with it. We’re excited to keep bringing the film to new audiences.
We’re screening tonight in Los Angeles with Shadow Kitchen (@shadowkitchen_la ) at Coaxial Arts (@coaxialarts ) at 7pm. Link to tickets in bio. Come hang out with us!
Shadow Kitchen presents an evening with filmmaker Rajee Samarasinghe for a screening of his debut feature Your Touch Makes Others Invisible, alongside the LA premiere of his new short A Flower Falling Back Into the Earth. Rajee will be present for a conversation following the films!

Recently completed an artist residency at the Wexner Center for the Arts. It's such a gift to have undivided time to invent, dream, edit, process, go deep, and learn with my co-director Solomon Turner.
Gratitude to Jennifer Lange, Paul Hill, and the whole Film/Video team for the rare opportunity and incredible support.

Our film “all the love I could handle” will be screening at @americanblackfilmfestival this summer!!! Saturday, June 14th in Voices of Culture. Link in bio 🎟️
I am very grateful we were able to use her very art form to explore the memory of my grandmother, pioneer filmmaker Kathleen Collins, and the sacrifices she made to leave her legacy behind. This film is a love letter to my brilliant, resilient, and fearless mother. To all mothers who are artists, all artists who are mothers, and to the child inside all of us still asking to be seen!!
“all the love i could handle is a re-imagining of the filmmaker’s mother’s young diary, unraveling the raw complexities of motherhood, artistic ambition, and the enduring sacrifices women have to make as mothers and artists. Based on the true family story of pioneer filmmaker Kathleen Collins (Losing Ground, 1982).”
