Well that's a wrap. Two days of shooting my short. It was so fun! I loved my crew. I loved my amazing cast. My DP will make my film look brilliant! My producers believed in me and my project. We had fun. What more could a female director want?

But where is everyone? I feel lost without my team 😂
Wow! You nailed this. Now I want you to play this role in a movie!
What's she dressing up as? You're so talented!

Got one script request today. And one place that loved my work but said thanks, but no thanks. Send us your next scripts. Part of this biz right? I guess as long as you're still in the game, you're in the game. Until one day...

If you are a California voter be on the lookout for anti Prop 50 mailers like this one. I received one of these and It’s a trick that was created by Charles Munger Jr. and a bunch of others. Munger Jr. has spent $10 Million to defeat Prop 50 aka the Election Rigging Response Act.
Mailers already being sent to California voters against redistricting plan
If you've received mailers urging a "no" vote on California's redistricting response to Texas, you're not alone.

Just some Vermont beauty I saw when I brought my kid back to college for another year and another season of playing college hockey.
Oh thanks for sharing! It's so cute!
Good luck! And why is your tarot card an otter?! How cute!

OOOh thank you! You're the best!
I loved your article on it. Great job! I'll read your previous ones. I love finding other fans of the show!
I'm so glad Gilded Age is finally finding its fans. Can't wait for season 4! I've been a fan of this show since the first episode.

Spoilers in this article.

Proof that bullying people for using AI works and we should bully them as hard as possible.
Being seen as too risky due to social fallout for Disney's investors really is the writing on the wall for AI in creative spaces

I don't like praising Disney but this is a genuinely a good call for reasons the investors probably cannot comprehend
