Stuart Fails to Save the Universe Streaming on HBO Max July 23rd @stuartfails @hbomax The trailer dropped yesterday and it honestly feels surreal finally being able to share even a small piece of what we’ve all been pouring ourselves into over these past months. Getting to help shape the look of these worlds has been such a fulfilling experience, and I’m incredibly grateful to have collaborated with such a talented cast and crew. Can’t wait for everyone to experience the chaos, comedy, and heart of this one in July.

I hope people have as much fun watching this show as we did making it!

I am so sad to share the news that my eldest sister, Frances, passed last Sunday, May 3rd. She was a lovely, smart and truly kind person who touched many lives in her time here on Earth. She had been living abroad since I was quite young, so there were many periods of time when a few years would go by between us seeing each other. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to see her and spend a few days with her in New York this past February. I love you and will forever miss you, Franny. From our last time we spent together. The 2nd photograph is with our cousin, Dominique.

Not much longer of a wait!

Good morning friends! A brief update and a heartfelt thank you to all my friends who sent love and well wishes for Smokey. She slept next to me all night and woke up feeling much better and perkier this morning. Your positive energy and love helped her! Love to you all! ❤️

Well it’s a pretty crappy day all around. First, we got the news that our show, FOUND, got cancelled. On top of that, my little kitten, Smokey, who is exactly 4 months old today is at an Animal Emergency Hospital. She’s not feeling wellll at all, and we’re a little worried about her getting dangerously dehydrated since she’s still so small. Please send love and healing energy for my little sweet one, and also, if you happen to need the services of a Director or a DP, I’m available! This is an older photograph, and she’s bigger than this now, but she’s still very small.

Today’s new milestone…

It’s been a process, but we’ve made great progress in fostering harmony with our two kitties. We brought Sage home last Spring (sitting at the top), and Smokey came home 1 month ago. Ask anyone in the know, and they’ll tell you that female cats can be pretty territorial and resistant to accepting another cat, especially anotherer female, in their home. I have spent the last 29 days sleeping in the guest bedroom with the little Smokey, while Linda has been with Sage in our bedroom. I think tonight will be the first night we can all be together peacefully as a family!

I went up to Sacramento again yesterday to advocate for the Governor’s proposed increase to the CA Film and TV Tax Credit Program. It was great to join other local 600 members from the Bay Area, along with members from all of our EUC (Entertainmentent union Coalition) partners! I also got to catch up with Monica Levinson and Scott Budnik!

Hi friends! FOUND Episode 214 “Missing While Matched,” directed by yours truly, airs tonight on NBC at 10 pm, and streams on Peacock starting tomorrow. It was such a fun episode to direct, and I hope you will check it out if you can. My heart is filled with love and gratitude to our lovely cast, crew, producers and everyone who helped make this episode with me! At the top of the list, thank you Nkechi Okoro Carroll, for the opportunity to direct on your amazing show, and thank you Niceole R. Levy for writing such a great episode! Thank you, Shanola Hampton, Mark Paul Gosselaar and the rest of our wonderful cast for always crushing it day in and day out! Thank you to our producer, Trish Stanard and UPM Danielle King for your trust in me and making the impossible possible! Thank you to Star Barry, my DP partner on the show who did a beautiful job shooting this episode, and to 1st AD extraordinaire, Scott K. Harris, for putting all the puzzle pieces in place and keeping the machine running smoothly! ** edited to add ** How could I have forgotten to mention my fabulous editor, Jennifer Hoks @jennyhoks ! This episode wouldn’t have turned out nearly as good without her guidance and incredible talent! There are so many more people I wish I could mention individually, but please know that I appreciate and love you all! #nbcfound #nbc

I haven’t really posted much lately, but here’s something new in our lives I’d like to share. Meet the newest member of the family, Sage. She is just the cutest and sweetest little thing.
