Also, all artists should read @PoSiTeng's keynote. It's an essential reminder that the art we make will outlive the money, the prestige and everything else, and that the world will always need artists to make *exactly what it is their hearts to make* povmagazine.com/the-long-game-…

I loved hearing about how Po made her 1st film, which resonated with my own experience with The Abortion Diaries. Never underestimate DIY, seriously, just, do, it. Most of all: "You can only tell a story in your way. Don’t be confused and distracted by what others are doing." ♥️

An incredibly intense, fun week at the essential @BigSkyDocFest connecting with new friends and old friends, taking in the mountain views and barely surviving the subzero hellgate winds. Still processing how honored and humbled I am to have had this retrospective.
