My favorite doc of 2025 so far: #MyMomJayne. A reframing of Jayne Mansfield & a stunning story about family secrets & healing. Mariska’s made a very special film.

I was HUGE Buffy fan. My first print commission was for the Official Buffy Magazine. I spent yrs chatting to just about everyone in the universe. Michelle was so sweet; a kind soul navigating the slings & arrows of fandom but also transitioning from kid to adult actor. Quite the career. RIP.

Singular. No one like David Lynch. The filmmaker who cracked open my perception of what cinema could be. He was a personal connector in my life. I’m so grateful I got to meet him & say thank you for his creations. To be an artist who got to witness his massive influence is a special legacy. RIP.
