Remembering producer and screenwriter Debra Hill whom we lost 21 years ago today. Hill was a trailblazer in the industry best known for her work on Halloween, Escape from New York, and Escape from LA. She helped pave the way for women in the industry, and mentored @galeannehurd.bsky.social.

A great evening at the Spark Filmmakers Showcase. Thank you to Johnathan and all involved in making it happen. Was great to see BABY ON BOARD and LAURA LIVING BACKWARDS on a big screen one final time.

Hopefully this will be the first many showcases for filmmakers in the region.
