I think if I was making a horror feature film, I’d have crazy support. But a psychological thriller whodunit with a black female lead is too much!

Raising awareness of fibromyalgia and mental health. Too much!

No actors from classic horror films. Too little!

If I’m bothering you with my crowdfunding posts, unfollow and block me now.

I’m already terrified of bothering people, but you will not make me lose hope in my acting and writing career.

I’m extending my hand for help and people are bothered. Well, bye.👋🏾

Wow. People blocked my DMs on Twitter yet still follow me. Unfollow me completely. Asking for your support shouldn’t be a reason to block me if we interact on social media.

I’m devastated, but a black woman must work even when things get hard.

I ask that you support a black woman as they make their first feature film, The Woman Who Knows.

As someone who suffers from fibromyalgia (chronic pain) and struggles with their mental health, time to bring awareness and support others.

Back us.

Please someone donate $168 so I can go to sleep! I’ve been up since 7am, and I’m crowdfunding and trying to stay up and raise awareness of fibromyalgia and mental health!

If you think you’re tired, imagine doing 2.5 hours of martial arts too!

A film project worth the investment

Alicia McClendon @qtarantino.bsky.social · 1d

I never thought it would struggle with mental health this long or fibromyalgia. I always thought they would go away.

But they change you and make you see the world differently.

Don’t understand? Allow The Woman Who Knows to help.

I am tired of failing when it comes to a writing and acting career. The NOs add up.

I won’t give up my film career though. The fibromyalgia didn’t stop me. The struggling with mental health didn’t stop me. Being a poor filmmaker didn’t either.

I’m not signing up for any more film business or film industry classes or coaching or anything because it’s a waste of money and you get no support right after.

I’m a poor writer and filmmaker. Yet I’m investing in you and you can’t invest in me? Okay.

I struggle with chronic widespread pain-fibromyalgia- and w/ with my mental health.

That’s why I wanted to show it on film what it’s like to make choices or behave a certain way or why we cope the way we do.

The Woman Who Knows will show you.

I love how life is so confusing and stressful and painful, but when I’m writing or making films, life is beautiful.

Absolutely. If he did it and is still doing it, then he is that. I had to learn this myself though since I’m not doing it full time or money isn’t pouring in.
