Here's how we did the desert island shot in Strawberry Mansion: I made a lil clay island, glued some sand to it and a small plastic tree, stuck it on a cork board, and then filmed it against a real sunset. Last shot is how it appears in the movie 🌴

Abortions aren’t only for unwanted pregnancies. I had 3 for wanted pregnancies. They don’t care if Black mothers live or die. Black mothers are 4X more likely to die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth. So I didn’t need this BS today to know what you think about us.

😭 Thank you for saying this. I've spent most of my career ashamed of the fact that I am a maximalist filmmaker (connected to my, until recently, undiagnosed ADHD). I admired and envied the minimalist masters (like kogonada) but knew I could never have the confidence to do it.🧵 twitter.com/kogonada/statu…

Border patrol is mounted on horseback rounding up Haitian refugees with whips. This is unfathomable cruelty towards people fleeing disaster and political ruin. The administration must stop this.

u ever think about how celeb influencers can buy a majority stake in a small who-even-cares company, promote that company's product so their stock skyrockets, & then sell their shares immediately turning a huge profit

Nikole Hannah-Jones 1619 series is one of the most important pieces of media created this century...she is one of the most revered scholars of our time but she won't get tenure because UNC-CH clearly didnt listen to 1619

UNC-CH: “What are your qualifications for tenure?” Nikole Hannah-Jones: “I have a MacArthur Fellowship AKA a genius grant.” UNC-CH: “What else?” NHJ: “A Pulitzer. The highest award for journalism.” UNC-Chapel Hill: “Hmmm... Let me talk to my manager & see what I can do.” twitter.com/19thnews/statu…

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott just signed a bill into law that bans abortion at 6 weeks, before many women even realize they're pregnant, and allows Texans to sue anyone who provides abortions or even helps someone to get an abortion.
