Award-winning (2x Indiecade, Eisner, Ignatz, National Book Award finalist, etc) game designer, cartoonist, and puppet filmmaker in the practice of marionettes, fortune cabinets, kind rabblerousing, and Paul Bunyan facts. Little guy enjoyer. (they/them)

Jay is one of the most delightful collaborators I've been lucky to work with and this Robot Song Cycle was the first thing I heard that made me go "I gotta work with this weird genius." And this was the first time I got to hear it live in its entirety!

It’s sort of amazing to think that in February 2024 Shing was here in Auburn carving puppets as a visiting artist, and that by November 2025 I visited those puppets at Shing’s studio in LA & got to see the sets for this film coming into being (and learn to carve, inexpertly). What a gift.

We are still in post, but I am already so delighted by our trailer, and especially listening to @jayackley.bsky.social's early demo of Rent Control here.

This is a very kind overview of my thesis exhibition, but Greg neglected to mention that he was actually my thesis advisor for the film and helped me figure out major questions like "what the hell is a film?" and so many other finicky things about the process!

Had the enormous pleasure of seeing the great @shing.bsky.social and their incredible props for their film "The Last Fifteen Minutes" at the SVA MFA Visual Narrative Program's industry night!

In April 2025, I asked anarchists to share their compass points—& made a zine. My dear friend @free.des.revol contributed a piece. Three months later, he was arrested. Two weeks ago, he received 30 years behind bars—for a zine. His words are here: kolektiva.social/@cbmilstein/... @cindymilstein IG

I'm generally not sure if I'm butch enough to identify as a butch dyke, but standing around NYC Dyke March grumbling "usually I am only waiting for one dyke to get moving" might finally qualify me.

I will never be a New Yorker because I am going to stare like an enchanted tourist every single time the B goes over the East River. Look at that, it's beautiful! What a cool bridge!
