The message from TikTok is trump will “save it”. If trump will save TikTok then I don’t want to use it. It will not be the same.

Colin Farrell thanking Carolina in craft services and her thoughtfulness in his #GoldenGlobes acceptance speech is your wholesome moment of the evening.

Nothing like writing 30 pages in one day because you thrive on procrastination, pressure and deadlines. #screenwriting

But like what if we could just live and make art and contribute to society in our own little cute ways.

both taika and anapela were featured in a lovely article from letterboxd highlighting the “heroes” of native storytelling in film & television in 2024!! 🥰

🔗 letterboxd.com/journal/nati...
“Others at the top of the Native "heroes" roster for 2024 include Taika Waititi (Māori), Sterlin Harjo (Seminole) and Sydney Freeland (Navajo). Waititi has a new feature for 2025 in the can (Klara and the Sun), just dropped a charming festive short film (The Boy and the Octopus, which you can watch here) and was an EP on well-received festival contenders The Mountain (the directorial debut of Waititi's longtime collaborator, Rachel House) and SXSW Special Jury Award winner We Were Dangerous.” Right side of the image shows posters for the films “The Mountain (2024)” and “We Were Dangerous (2024)”, with the respective titles written beneath both posters “Native storytelling is a collaborative realm: we don't pull the ladder up behind us; we jump in the waka (canoe) and pull together. Waititi and Harjo's co-created drama-comedy Reservation Dogs finally scored multiple Emmy nods for its closing season (lead actor nominee D'Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai using the opporunity to highlight the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement). Harjo then became one of the recipients of the astonishing $800k MacArthur Genius grant. Freeland, meanwhile, went back to her Navajo homeland for Netflix-funded sports drama Rez Ball (co-written with Harjo), which made its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before launching in the top ten most popular films on the streamer globally. Freeland was also an executive producer on and directed much of Marvel's new show Echo on Disney+.” Right side of the image shows a poster for the film “Rez Ball (2024)”, with the title written below Top of the image shows a link to a trailer for the film TINĀ (2024) on YouTube “Opening the Hawaii International Film Festival this year, TINĀ is the feature debut of director Miki Magasiva (Samoan), one of several notable creative brothers in New Zealand. He's previously known for directing a chapter of award-winning anthology We Are Still Here, and with TINĀ, he offers a long-awaited star turn for Samoan actress Anapela Polataivao (who was undoubtedly the reason New Zealand short Night Shift made it into Cannes; watch it here). Haiku Dan caught the film at HIFF: "I laughed and cried. The emotional beats hit hard, it's all well shot, and maintains a steady pace until a glorious cathartic finale."” Right side of the image shows a poster for the film “TINĀ (2024)”, with the title written below “TINĀ (which means "mother") is now heading for a 2025 release. With its feet firmly planted in the healing space between Ikiru and CODA, keep an eye on the global prospects for this story of a sassy, grieving Samoan mother who mentors a fledgling youth choir.”
