In addition to making my way through all the FYC screeners, I'm very grateful and excited about a couple of projects I'm working on right now. Frustrated to be experiencing the most painful flare I've had in years, which has decreased my mobility even more. Moving slower, but I'm still going.

Kate Beecroft's directorial debut, EAST OF WALL, is a beautifully shot, thoughtfully told story of grief, perserverance, and heart, told from a female perspective. Love that a lot of the cast are the real people involved and not actors. Really inspiring story. On VOD. See it. #filmsky #fyc

Started the thriller series THE BEAST IN ME on Netflix. Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys are both outstanding, but they had me as soon as they introduced a cute little dog named Steve. #tvsky

I've been wanting to start up my own site for paid subscribers, but things have been so dire this year that there is no way I can even afford the monthly cost right now. The idea that writers can just magically start up any form of meaningful revenue for ourselves is absurd.

Tina Romero's QUEENS OF THE DEAD is funny, clever, and it has a fantastic cast. Probably the most fun I've had watching a zombie movie ever?! On VOD now. #filmsky #horrorsky

Rewatching US (2019) and haven't thought about how much this movie scares me in a long time. I find the entire concept deeply unsettling. Still mad Lupita didn't get a nomination for this because she damn well deserved one. 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985) is easily one of my favorite movies of all time and will always have a special place in my heart. Review of the new 4K and Blu-ray Combo Special Edition from the Criterion Collection coming soon. 🎥 #filmsky

For anyone too young to remember what it was like before ACA…
IT WAS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE.
IT WAS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE.
One of the most important provisions of the ACA was eliminating pre-existing conditions exclusions from insurance plans.
Folks need to be reminded that if the ACA goes away, so does that provision.

If you loved FRANKENSTEIN as much as I did and you were nerding out like I was over all the amazing technical stuff, you need to watch FRANKENSTEIN: THE ANATOMY LESSON on Netflix. This 45 min. doc goes behind the scenes of making the movie and gives so much great insight. 🎥 #filmsky #frankenstein

FRANKENSTEIN! Guillermo del Toro's reimainging of the classic tale is a spectacular gothic delight. The practical effects, costumes, and production design are exquisite. Oscar Isaac is outstanding and Jacob Elorldi gives an incredible, heartbreaking performance. This is cinema. #filmsky #fyc

Richard Linklater's NOUVELLE VAGUE is a visually stunning, beautifully told tribute to Jean-Luc Godard and French New Wave cinema. Zoey Deutch and Aubry Dullin are delightful to watch and Guillaume Marbeck is frustratingly charming as Godard. Loved this! On Netflix November 14th. #filmsky #fyc

She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle.
