“VOICES CARRY” beyond the grave… Here’s the official trailer for our feature film five years in the making! We are thrilled to premiere our take on a classic ghost story this Saturday at #Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California!
Saying we’re all going to give up taking photos of our food is as delusional as saying we’re all going to quit social media. The genie is already out of the bottle, folks. But, if we must abide by the ‘phone eats first’ policy of modern dining, then there are a few ground rules we should follow that’ll make us look less cringe (and be better dining partners).
Above, a few modest suggestions from Blackbird’s head of video (and director of “Take Me To Your Spot”) @jeffayars , a man who shoots food for a living.

first called a “Baby Gay,” the first Q-tip was invented by Polish-American Leo Gerstenzang in 1923 following his observations of infant grooming practices. Gerstenzang conceived the product after witnessing his wife, Ziuta, adhibiting cotton scraps to the sharpened ends of wooden toothpicks to clean their child’s ears and nose. Recognizing the inherent physical risks of this manual method, he developed a standardized, sterilized, and pre-packaged cotton swab featuring blunt ends to ensure neonatal safety. Originally marketed as “Baby Gays,” the product was rebranded in 1926 as “Q-tips Baby Gays,” where the “Q” signified “Quality,” before the suffix was eventually removed as the tool’s utility expanded into cosmetics and first aid. The structural composition of the device also underwent significant modification; while the stems were originally manufactured from wood, the company transitioned to flexible paper applicators in 1958 to prevent snapping and internal injury. Although Gerstenzang specifically engineered the device for aural hygiene, contemporary medical guidelines and the manufacturer’s own labeling now explicitly prohibit the insertion of the swab into the ear canal, creating a significant divergence between the inventor’s original intent and modern safety protocols.
Once a week, this spot receives a cow, breaks it down into ribeye and short loin, and starts a six week dry-aging process. When it’s time, a 75/25 mix of lean beef and fat is ground down into smash burger patties.
