Sorry to report that we must postpone our September 10 MoJo Fest. Will share new details soon.

60 years ago, #BetteDavis (more affable than rumor would have it) placed this iconic ad in @Variety. 👏👏👏

The founding executive director of the Georgia Film Academy is leaving his post to start a management company for writers and content creators, a long missing piece in the state’s ballooning film industry. bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2…

Joni Mitchell made a surprise appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, performing her first full set in about two decades. The 78-year-old singer-songwriter, who has seldom appeared in public in recent years, played some of her most iconic songs. nyti.ms/3Ozfk2W

Yesterday was 2 years to the day that I posted my first podcast. The first person I asked was @photojack And you can listen to him (and subscribe to a bunch of #mobile creative convos) here: anchor.fm/ontheflypodcas… @Mobile_Creators @mojofest #MadeOnAMobile

@photojack @GlenBMulcahy Wrong tag.

For anyone coming to @mojofest May 11-12, London, completely separate from this event, I'm thinking seriously about organizing a 2-3 day iPhone Photography workshop, in Paris, prior or after? Any interest? @GlenBMulcahy

“It has got better since I started out — I mean, parts for older women in Hollywood were mostly for tough businesswomen or weeping mothers — but there is no reason for women to become sexless lumps at a certain age.” Read the full interview: thetimes.co.uk/article/succes…

"I am so so sad to lose my friend Steve Sondheim," says Bernadette Peters. "He gave me so much to sing about." bit.ly/3FLw6HW

I cannot wait, until we are safely on the other side of Covid, to joyfully reunited with my mobile photography and filmmaker friends at the next @mojofest in Galway, Ireland. Gadhh I love that location!!! @GlenBMulcahy

Nice surprise this morning... #FiLMicFest is the gift that keeps on giving..! Thanks to @Shoulderpod for the G2 (I was there for the @mojofest ‘19 preview) and @freeflysystems, very excited to fireup the Movi Cinema Robot..!😎📱🎬⭐️ And thanks @FiLMiCPro 🙌😊 #MadeOnAMobile

We look forward to once again being a positive contributor to this remarkably talented and generous community. Thank you!

What are the biggest needs? And who are the partners, individual and institutional, that we can work with to address them? We are grateful to the many people who have contributed time and talent and energy and resources since our founding.

In the coming weeks, we'll begin the process of checking in with members of the community, itself in the process of resuming and restarting, to listen to how we can be of service. What if anything has changed in fundamental ways? Are there areas of progress?

It's been almost 2 years since we last were able to plan and present a MoJo Fest or other activities to further our mission, but now it's time to resume - and, in some ways, restart - the work of our Foundation.

And what a different world we awoke to THIS morning! Between the tumult of social change and politics, and the devastating pandemic, much has changed in the arts world and the world we all inhabit.

Six years ago today, we awoke to a world without our namesake Jo Howarth Noonan. Only days later was born the central idea for our Foundation: Creating more and better opportunities for older women in theater.
