Some behind the scenes shots of our time with Joe Alves in 2022/23. For the final sequence we want to shoot Joe on Martha's Vineyard for the 50th Anniversary of Jaws!
It takes film fans like us to make these projects, but we can't do it without your help!

if they're gonna lock everything up at duane reade I think they should just move to the Service Merchandise model and have a catalog you look through when you get there and you just wait while they send your stuff out to you on a conveyer belt.

Kodak posted a 10 min long video w/ Sinners director Ryan Coogler that is a GREAT example of film social. He explains the different film formats in a way that teaches audiences something they may not know without talking down to them. You can clearly feel the love and passion he has for the subject.

"Has become" doesn't really capture the scandalous fact that this has been ongoing for decades, that the disastrous consequences are well-documented, and that hardly anyone in the health care industry sees any problem with it.
In fact, it's more likely to be celebrated as a good thing.

“Doctors should be reminded that absence of evidence does not connote a mental illness, she continues.”
This issue needs far more attention. Grateful that it’s being covered.

It's critical to keep naming these losses, not in the spirit of "can you believe what they're doing," but to remember what's being lost. I've taught students from countries that erase the past, and they're stunned to learn of major events in their own countries. That's the fascist goal here.

Take care of yourselves, friends! That's the struggle, too, and it's everybody's. Now is not the time to rank suffering; fascism strikes unpredictably. Self-care is part of the fight for all. But be vigilant--don't let yourself justify acquiescence as "self-care."
