This sounds post-apocalyptic, but aspiring filmmakers and writers really should find and collect DVD commentaries.
So much applicable advice you’d never get in film school because it was discovered in the circumstances of making that movie.
Big cultural step backward to lose easy access to these.

Who else do I know on here still looking for work in games after all the layoffs and etc? (NOT JUST NARRATIVE PEOPLE!)
Could you reply here and let me know what you do and what you’ve worked on? I’m planning kind of a moonshot and could use a list of people to maybe talk to about it

Hey guys, today is ✨ Eid ✨ the festival day that marks the end of Ramadan. If you have some cash to spare, please consider sending our neighbors in Palestine a gift. So many families are suffering, but if we work together we can help make this festival day a little brighter.

✨🌙 eid mubarak, friends 🌙✨
this was my fourth time celebrating ramadan and it was by far the hardest. attempting to remain positive and reflective when so much pain and suffering occurs in our country and across the globe resulted in a heavier toll on the heart than before.

I'm not a fan of the narrative that "no one" was there to accept LIS: DE's award because I was in the audience that night and I would have gladly done it if given the opportunity. So often Black people are erased from our accomplishments and from the conversation.
