For 13 years I’ve been a judge @disabilityfilmchallenge and it’s a marvel not only to watch these perspective shifting films but to see how strong and talented the disabled community really is and how this event has grown and forged real community. 25% of people in the US identify as disabled while only 5% of disabled roles are played by disabled actors. Let’s do better! I always try to open my casting to age, gender, ethnicity, race AND ability because representation matters!!! Thanks to @jason_ritter and @sianheder.director for showing up ALWAYS and to @nicnovicki - the man behind it all- you’re a force of nature and the world is so much better with you in it! Thanks to @sony for hosting and @reformation for helping me to dress sustainably! Go to disabilityfilmchallenge’s youtube channel to watch these wonderful short films!! And @matlockcbs we’re sorry for the lawyer jokes 🤣
Back in 2018 I directed the pilot for this genius genius show FLORIDA GIRLS which i just learned is NOW STREAMING ON AMAZON Showrunner/Star @laurachinnnn & I had to make many tough decisions, there were jetskies, bunnies, aligators, iguanas, dead manatees, the funniest/sexiest group of women ever assembled, @olyobst , hurricanes and more. Check it out now!!! (I was the 5th FL girl) ☀️ 🦎 🍆
And now for the really glam stuff! Post production!!! It takes a village and i am obsessed with this incredible team who made @youmetuscany the delightful romp that it is!!! It moves, it flows, it’s got laughs and heart and rhythm and the music HITS. The edit is a final rewrite and everyone in these pics left their mark. Fun fact: editorial maestro @zene_b and i previously worked together on She Hulk, Emmy award winner and Oscar nominee @johndebney scored my last universal film Marry Me, on which @mikeknobloch and @rachelalevy also worked their MAGIC!
