breadvideo LIVE NOW on my website and yootoob!!! link is in my bio, please enjoy.
now big huge thank you time: this movie would not be remotely what is without my wonderful voicey cast: the irreplacable @sentienced as bakerbaker; ride-or-die @dani_vish as the narrator; Freddy the almighty as "The Boss"; @roodytoot as 59; and rest of my lovely friends and buddies rounding the cast: @m.aymo , @joshbrainin , and the winner of the galaxy ddbentl !
@maltadult , @slamdancegroup , and @transfiguration.iff for showing this film to so many fantastic ppl in so many wonderful places, u all rule, love uu!!!
this is a really big film for me, it feels and felt like a huge evolution all at once, and im so immensely proud of it. i dont know whats next (well, besides one thats...more on that real soon......) but i really hope this brings you some splendor and/or feelings and/or something unplacable. appreciate all of u, thank you.
i need to eat breakfast (its 2:14pm). keep living
putting out breadvideo this friday, Oct 24, on both my website sonjira.com, and on my youtube page, so you can look at bread in this spookiest of season!
thank you so much to all the people who both helped this movie come to life, and have shown it so much love at all the lovely places i've got to show it at. it was an absolute gas to show this at/with: ddbentl/smash yr fingers, @maltadult , @slamdancegroup and @transfiguration.iff (didnt have the spoons to promo it :< but hearing lovely folk reach out after these tiff screenings is so swell. if im not mistaken more dates will be coming for this one so stay tuned if u wanna see it irl?? or reach out if u wanna show it somewhere??)

i've been waffling back-and-forth for months on when/if to put this online (ty to my lovely friends whove listened to me mull it over-and-over-and-over-and...) i had a "fck it" moment last week and so im putting it up now. we will see if it stays up forever, esp on YT, but i felt like throwing it out there, so here go.
more thoughts (maybe) on friday when its out-out. we will see what the future holds, as i'm still very much in post-grad burnout, , but thanks for sticking with me, all my friends and ppl who watch my work, ur vibes and support mean more than u cld ever know. peace, love, freedom, no gods no masters
