Boosting because we’re heading into festival season and you should believe women and do everything in your power to not put WOC in the same spaces with this clown. If you have a festival, think about that before you program his alleged movies.
I don’t like waking up to guys who made one movie crashing out in my DMs because they’re upset Ryan Coogler said women are better filmmakers. I don’t like that at all…
P.S. If I know one of the women harassed spoke to you about this man and you still program him, your fest is dead to me. I don’t care if it’s just a tiny blog, an indie podcast, or over drinks. I don’t boost fests that don’t believe women in 2026. Prayers down!

"I didn’t lie when I wrote about the spirit world. I wrote what I wanted to hear, the kind of guidance I wished to receive. That I longed for. I wrote advice I needed to take. And it seemed I spoke to a common desire; looking for resilience in a troubling world." - my RAVENFIELD HALL, coming 2/16/27
Happy Summer Solstice to all who celebrate! May your crops flourish, your maypole remain upright, your wicker effigies stay unoccupied, and your afternoon picnic not end in existential mystery. 👻 📽️ 🌞
