Wishing everyone heading to #AFF this week safe travels, and remember to be curious and have fun!

And don't be shy-- introduce yourself to every person you stand in line next to, side beside during panels, ask them about their work. These are your people, so use this excuse to meet more of them! 😊✨

A U.S. Citizen Detained by ICE for Three Days Tells His Story A conversation with George Retes, an Army veteran swept up in a California raid

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

Whaaaat?! WORLDS APART made the ScreenCraft Fellowship Quarterfinals! Sadly, it looks like this will be the last one. Truly sad to see them go. #bittersweet @screencraft.bsky.social #scriptsky #filmsky

Absolutely. The trailer and posters all caught my attention. You have something special and I want to support in whatever way I can. I signed up for the soft launch project updates, so I’ll be first in line when the official fundraising begins. Great work so far!

It’s painterly, creepy beautiful, and evocative of another magical time and place… I love it! Well done, Chad! I’m going to log in and invest.

Got it! I went straight to the logline and completely overlooked the genre details. Even still… that sounds like a bad ass TV series that I would want to see.
