Okay, so I don't really believe in time, but Happy New Year! Even though I think labelling periods of our lives as generally good or bad (i.e. "This year sucked!" or "What a great day!") is actually not helpful and overgeneralizes the nuances of life, I've been thinking a lot about this past year for … Continue reading For auld lang syne

But why
This actually started as a comment to my good friend, Hannah's, latest post (check out her blog, her photographs are beautiful and incredibly interesting), but as I kept typing, I figured I'd just post it here instead of leaving an essay in her comments. Hannah is French. She lives in Paris, although she's currently in … Continue reading But why
Home.
"There's no place like home." As most of my close friends and family know, I absolutely loved the Wizard of Oz when I was a child. Actually, "loved" is a severe understatement. It was an obsession bordering on mania, as most of my loves tend to be. I remember clearly how it started. I found my mother's … Continue reading Home.
Follow the fear, love the hate
(There are some minor spoilers in this post for the hit series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and the feature film, The Babadook, so if you haven't seen these, GO WATCH THEM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE AMAZING - and on Netflix - and then come back and read this.) It's officially October, one of my absolute favorite months. … Continue reading Follow the fear, love the hate
IDGAF
I want to talk a little bit about bravery. It seems to be a recurring theme in my life lately. A quick Google search shows the following definitions for brave: adjective. ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage. noun. people who are ready to face and endure danger or pain. verb. endure or face (unpleasant conditions … Continue reading IDGAF
Sorry not sorry.
My heart is heavy, yet again. I wasn't going to post or write about this but I can't not talk about it. The shooting in Charleston has left in me in tears. Tears for these people who have lost their lives because of hate. Tears for their families and loved ones. Tears of frustration at the sheer … Continue reading Sorry not sorry.
How ‘Game of Thrones’ taught me about Feminism *SPOILERS!*
Are you sick of hearing about this past Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones yet? The shelf-life of this episode in the blog-o-sphere has been remarkable. It has been 3 days since it has aired and it's still being discussed. People are outraged. People are over it. People don't see what the big deal is. And all … Continue reading How ‘Game of Thrones’ taught me about Feminism *SPOILERS!*
Take the hard way.
Earlier this afternoon, I received a text from one of my mentors, film producer Julianna Bonifacio: "Just was on Twitter and saw your film as Indiewire's POTD! Awesome!" I immediately typed back, "Really?! OMG yay!" I had no idea. I entered a few weeks ago after another awesome female filmmaker, Jessica Rionero, suggested that I … Continue reading Take the hard way.
I don’t know.
I haven’t written in this blog in a long time. And until just a few moments ago, I couldn't really tell you why. Being busy, not feeling “inspired,” or not having anything to share are not really accurate excuses. I think it’s because I've been hiding. I didn't know I was hiding, not at first. … Continue reading I don’t know.
Black Lives Matter
This entry is full of links, so please view on your computer if they're not showing up on your phone. I have become obsessive. Ever since Officer Pantaleo was not indicted for using a banned choke-hold which lead to the death of 43-year-old Eric Garner, I have taken to the internet and watched, read, and … Continue reading Black Lives Matter
