David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID.
He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind.
Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

I’m shooting a new film called Cat and Mouse with the support of an Artists Projects grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council. I’m working with local artists both on camera and behind the scenes to make this surreal film come to life. Here’s a sneak peak at some footage I shot with Kate Shannon.

What the buyer would get would be a certificate of authenticity saying they own the artwork (called “The Comedian”). It would most likely come with a set of instructions on how to reproduce the work (how high to install it, what kind of tape to use, what angle to tape it at, etc).

I just saw an ad for A Man On The Inside: apparently Ted Danson is trying to catch a jewel thief — who stole Carlotta Valdez’s necklace from Vertigo. I’d recognize that necklace anywhere.

I edited the ending of Night’s End and it was crazy to edit!
Welcome @thejenniferreeder.bsky.social to Bluesky! 'Night's End' has the craziest movie ending ever, and 'Knives and Skin' is the finest teen mystery soundtrack committed to film. Nobody is making cinema quite like her.

I worked at the Wex for over 17 years and it’s painful to read this.
Current and former staff at Ohio’s Wexner Center for the Arts accused the director of mistreating employees, making impulsive decisions, and failing to secure adequate funding.
