Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs you to tell your truth through your words.

Mad love to the @latino_slant for including my film Marigold the Matador on this dope list of Latino films. Link: youtu.be/c5lcLZ1B6is?si=xpgk… 🎥✌🏼

If you don’t know, now you know. 🎥✌🏼
If you're represented by an #agent, manager or lawyer, please remember that they're NOT the BIG AUTHORITIES in your creative life. They're collaborators. Their job is to help you as you create your vision. You work WITH them, not FOR them.

I don’t try to be outspoken for the sake of being outspoken but a lot of nonsense is going on. 🎥✌🏼

This sounds about right 🤦🏻‍♂️
Netflix bought a sci-fi series from director Carl Rinsch in 2018 and spent $55M developing it Not a single episode has been finished Instead, the director has reportedly spent $11M of Netflix’s money gambling on risky stocks and buying dogecoin, which he flipped for $27M After that, he went on a spending spree, buying 5 Rolls-Royces, a Ferrari, furniture, and designer clothing The only feature film he's directed prior to this was '47 Ronin' which has a 16% on Rotten Tomatoes (via @nytimes)

Of course @TheAcademy would forget that John Bailey was also the DP of the Chicano classic BOULEVARD NIGHTS. 🎥🫡
“I’ve never read a script to try to find photographic opportunities. I look at the emotional value to see if I’m moved.” John Bailey, acclaimed cinematographer and former Academy President, has passed away at the age of 81. In a career that spanned from 1978 to 2022, Bailey worked across genres, from drama to rom-coms, documentaries to thrillers, including Robert Redford's Best Picture winner, Ordinary People (1980), Paul Schrader's neo-noir American Gigolo (1980), Lawrence Kasdan's comedy-drama The Big Chill (1983), Harold Ramis' romantic comedy Groundhog Day (1993), Wolfgang Petersen's action thriller In the Line of Fire (1993), and James L. Brooks' comedy-drama As Good as It Gets (1997). The American Society of Cinematographers (@AmericanCine) recognized Bailey with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015. He also received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019 at EnergaCAMERIMAGE Film Festival.

Some good news but it goes back to what I’ve said many times. It doesn’t matter how successful Latino movies and TV shows perform the culture of Hollywood is what keeps us out. 🎥✌🏼

No lie. There have been a total of 6 Latino awards galas in the last 10 days. What do these actually accomplish? Asking for a friend. 🎥✌🏼 hollywoodreporter.com/lists/…
