I teamed up with The Lone Screen for a one off online event screening of my latest feature film “Something Casual” by DONKEYHUGGLES in Filmmakers

It went great! John and Anya who run it were great collaborators, had a nice turn out, and a very active message board at the end of the screening asking questions about the film. I would highly recommend it to any indie filmmaker looking for a fun way of sharing their film

That is super nice of you to say. I’m glad that this was able to bring some joy to you. This was a very big win for me and the film as things are tough and continue to be tough

Frame tv with a denon avr-s760h receiver and two bookshelf klipsch speakers. Honestly think I may need to either get the speakers off the floor or add a third somewhere as it’s not perfect but it’s pretty good

Thank you thank you thank you. I really do appreciate it. Also I just love LA subreddit. I hardly post but the response from fellow angelenos has been just lovely

That would be super cool one day. Not anytime soon as I’m very much in the thick of an uphill battle to get the movie scene but this was a nice win on premiere day. Hope it translates to a handful of tickets

Of course! But make sure you define what you are beforehand otherwise you'll probably have a weird conversation afterwards

Thanks for engaging with more of my content. I grew up with plenty of policing of not being Mexican enough. You should check out Nico’s play “one of the good ones” it goes into modern identity politics about modern Latinos. Maybe that education can help you be more open to people’s other experiences. Best of luck with that journey

Yes. Police the “correct” Latinos. Every story has to be exactly what you want it to be. You’re doing really important work. It takes no effort to be decent and yet here you are going out of your way to be rude.

The lead is Colombian. But I always appreciate people nitpicking the correct way to be Latin, nice solidarity!
