Two Sundances one post! Iām coming out of grid hibernation to shout out my amazing teams and party people.
Iām so proud of both these projects - Say Hi After You Die won the Jury Award this year and Birth Rebirth crushed it the year before with people passing out in theaters!
Iām endlessly grateful to get to work with such talented and kind humans that bring me back to this festival year after year where I get to meet even more amazing humans. See you at the next one āØ

A biennial post about how much I love my job. Helping people tell their stories and bringing a vision to life is so satisfying. I love you my film family ā¤ļøāØ#ad
There were so many lesbians
That did not catch me
At the punk show in Brooklyn
So many lesbians
That did not catch me
At the punk show of life
I keep putting on
My hot dog suit
Forgetting my body
Is hidden but
I like being a hot dog
Not because Iām a weenie
But because I want
To be eaten
At the ballpark
Or Coney island
I want to swim in mustard
Flying through the air
With a broken collarbone
But lots of enthusiasm
to find my funnel cake
At the balloon popping station
Next to the bottle top ringers
And I will say to them
Iāve been dropped
So many times
waiting for you I like
Your powdered sugar outfit
The CDC strongly recommends that you donāt sleep with your ex even though itās Venus retrograde CDC says you donāt have to wash your hands for 30 seconds just get the fingers a lil wet but wear 5 masks one should be lucha libre CDC says your cat can have some salami as a lil treat and you can ghost after 2 dates but not 3, unless you kissed then stay in contact in case one of you has COVID CDC says be careful eating undercooked feelings, leave feelings outside for at least 48 hours after bringing them home, consider washing them in universal love or Coca Cola let go of that person that will never love you back, let go of that person you love but isnāt right for you seek therapy for your dog Obsession (they are not actually a human Even though they give good cuddles And look at you with deep soul knowing eyes) CDC says you can trim your own bangs itās not that hard CDC reminds you to change your oil and call your grandma CDC warns that if you put stuff in Public Storage you wonāt get it out for 6-15 years CDC says color is spelled Colour because Brits are older CDC says Bloody Mary mix is not a healthy breakfast CDC announced you can fill the theme park with dinosaurs if you learned your lesson last time
CDC
Played MASH
and predicted
you will Marry Kai
and have a shack
CDC announced
itās ok you
didnāt finish
your screenplay
in the first year
Deadline extended
to June 2022
They said 2021
Has been erased
From our memories
Anyway
pizza is a fine meal
But donāt forget
sunshine
or SSRIs
smoking is fine !
Honestly do whatever
with your lungs
Gov only cares about
Nipples and ovaries
CDC is sponsored by
Pharma
Tobacco
Your mum
Mel Gibson
Self loathing
Britain
The twins
From the mentos
Commercial
The CDC is that
nagging voice
In your head
that tells you
weāll all be
living on Mars
In 7 years
The CDC
Would like you
To know
It makes
All itās own
Memes
This is also
Your new year
Resolution list
One of these things
Is a lie
My psychic said this is my year
And you better bet I believe her !
I must because itās just been
stacks of karma sitting on my desk
waiting for a sentence or the shredder
416 weeks of one week at time
The older I get the less I need
makes for a good retirement plan
Thereās no shortage of good days
But a good life, woah baby
Do all you can to getcha one
Otherwise life is a funeral procession
for the life you didnāt live
Donāt bumble around dreary eyed
Like a regretful snail to the salt mines
No! Be brave and vulnerable!
Be a hero of your own heart!
Shout it out and never stop
Give me back the golden threads
All the diamonds clean and ravaged
and the chalice of light, bright
Give me back my energy!
I screamed to my exes
across the astral plane
One by one they came
And we loved each other so hard
Like Steve Winwood Higher Love shit
What was lost has been returned
But what Iāve yet to learn is
What Iāve inherited vs what Iāve earned
I have done so much work
For my ancestors, rolling around
like a snake, swimming as a sea turtle
They better be thankful!
(I do it just for the blessings)
Let me tell you what I saw
Youāre afraid of making the same mistakes
But itās not the mistake you think!
You went to the right stations but
You stay too long each time
That doesnāt get you where youāre goin
If you feel the train coming
Feel it in your chest. Pack your bag!
If you wonder if this is for you, it is!
And you know what else?
Love is the only true thing
Everything else is just the view
Best get a window seat if you donāt have it!
Joining the procession of a great parade
The pyrrhic victory of the artists way
The plane touched down
And everyone clapped
For doing what it was supposed to
Making the journey
And pulling up to the gate
In a small town in Mexico
The waves bowed and softened
The sun fell into a curtain of cloud
California dreaming came on
Even the radio saluting you
Every time I encounter death
I feel as though Iām standing
In front of a great masterpiece
Paint still wet
Every brush stroke
Every line written
Every wild hair that kissed the wind
From the stingray
With a cigarette and a grin
Made more beautiful for doing
What it was supposed to
Filling in the masterpiece
Of a life
