Back in NYC for my 39th birthday, 8-year anniversary with my knockout wife @rosegardens ❤️❤️ and star-studded screening of ANORA, a film I Art Directed which has been on quite the meteoric rise. What a stunner 😍
Flying back to Montreal today to finish a film I’ve been working on since mid-August. Only 2 weeks left to go!
Thankful I was able to take the time to bask in these moments.
Still stunned at this unfathomable achievement. Together with my longtime collaborators @silverwary@topherphelps and too many new friends to mention, we had the honor to take part in this latest film by @bakermovies which has earned arguably the highest honor in film, the Palme d’ Or.
More than the overwhelming strangeness of recognition and validation for days and months and years of toiling away on various projects, is the sense of hope that we might be allowed to continue walking this path.
More pics and info to come. Appreciate all the love and support coming my way.
