    The Filipino American culture can be felt strongest in SF’s Filipino Cultural Heritage District… otherwise known as SF’s Filipinotown. Check out this mural at SF State, it was the first mural in CSU history to celebrate Filipino history.

    I never imagined telling stories that would reach so many people. I love this era of televised cinema so much. Proud to have a place in the lineup. April: May: June:

    Yes it is very white and both direct and microaggressions abound. I couldn't wait to leave. Cuidate! Be safe.

    Spokane is beautiful. Also very... ummm. 😶

    Love you my fierce sister from another mister . Hands down you are the best LATINX writer from coast to coast.

    My sister from another mister also directed my first two shorts even as she was teaching young WOC screenwriting and directing through our award-winning nonprofit Chica Luna Productions F-Word program.

    Not thugs. Not wilding. Not criminals. Not even the Central Park Five. They are Korey, Antron, Raymond, Yusef, Kevin. They are millions of young people of color who are blamed, judged and accused on sight. May 31. A film in four parts about who they really are. WHEN THEY SEE US.

    A common discussion among vet TV writer producers and show runners these days: a lot of (failed) shows these days should have never been a series. They’re movies. As more folk migrate to TV one has to ask that hard question. Is this a series? Or a splashy opening with no legs?

    Families asking for asylum in the US in Brownsville Texas port of entry are sleeping on the Mexican side in tents with their babies. I have seen the people this administration says are invading our country.They are families in trauma from Honduras and Nicaragua and El Salvador.

    Though PhDs don’t always get creative scholarship this too is true, lol.

    I know you think you are an artist and don't need PhDs as external reviewers in your tenure file - because researchers just don't get your art - but we aren't including your daughter's high school drama teacher as one of your external letter writers.

    It is quite possible for Gina Rodriguez to advocate for better Latinx representation without constantly evoking African American advances in a way that implies they're part of the problem. If she refuses to learn that, her cultural activism actually perpetuates the problem.

    Sin fronteras!

    Images affect the way we see ourselves and the way that we are seen. Would it be as easy for so many to criminalize and demonize undocumented people if years of TV and film had been more nuanced? Images matter. This matters.

    This is a big deal in convos about cinema + access. Don’t get me started on the fact that many communities of color don’t have a movie theater at all. Can’t see SELMA in Selma. No theater there. Can’t see STRAIGHT OUT OF COMPTON in Compton. No theater there.

    Hear you - the average movie ticket price is $9.16, per the National Association of Theater Owners - at fancy Los Angeles cinemas it’s almost double that, plus parking, etc.
