Sharing the L.A. Times panel I spoke on at Sundance. I didn't get to complete any of my sentences, but at least they put photos of The Huntress and Rosemead crews in here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NPm...

Thoughts on Sharon Waxman's NYT opinion piece? (Headline revision is mine.) What do you think we should do about this? Shrink our budgets (and scopes) even more? Advocate for more soft money? Democratize distribution and marketing (how?)? Stop making movies? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Review: The Huntress (La Cazadora) β€’ Salt Lake Magazine Read Salt Lake Magazine's review of the film The Huntress (La-Cazadora) which premiered at Sundance 2026 in Park City.

"Its representation of the paranoia and fear in a society where a powerful, secretive minority can exploit and implicitly and explicitly terrorize the communities over which they have control feels very real and present." saltlakemagazine.com/review-the-h...

If ever you needed definitive proof that we shouldn't take the #Oscars too seriously, you have it now: No Other Choice got 0 noms. Sigh. And appreciate the one for Weapons, but should've been more.

RIP James Ransone. He played "Stan" the paparazzo in Aaron Katz's GEMINI. He was wonderful in Sean Baker's TANGERINE too. A great actor gone too soon. 😒 variety.com/2025/tv/obit...

Tammie Rosen Dies: Sundance And Tribeca Communications Chief Was 49 Tammie Rosen, who ran communications for Tribeca Enterprises and the Sundance Institute, died December 3 at 49.

I was just thinking of Tammie 2 days ago, wondering how she was doing, hoping that she'd beaten the stupid cancer. I'm so sad she is gone. Too soon. She was a light. Hugs to her loved ones. deadline.com/2025/12/tamm...

Already reading bad takes comparing ROSEMEAD to other AA films, e.g, it "borrows elements" of Chinese mothers fr Didi & EEAAO. 😳 Asian Americans said this! This is like saying 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' borrowed elements fr white moms of Lady Bird & Serial Mom. Decolonize your minds, my brothas!

It's wild when agents send producers a script asking us to spend years of our lives working for free to conjure it into a film, and their disclaimer is "will commission your fixed and contingent comp at 10%." No thanks, buddy, no thanks. #producing
