Why do I feel like I'm turning into the @stephenasmith of professional cheerleading??? Tonight is the launch of Season 9 of the podcast and instead of feeling celebratory, I'm going to be ranting about how these NFL coaches can engage in such egregious conduct...

Tonight on IG live at 7 pm PST I will be going OFF about this point and hella other aspects of this hot mess express...so come join me!

while earning upwards of $100 million for their contracts. Meanwhile NFL cheerleaders have to be darn near perfect in every aspect - dance, appearance, fitness, community engagement, and strong moral character to represent these organizations and barely earn over minimum wage.

I'm thrilled to announce that my latest film ATTICA, with Traci Curry, will have its world premiere at the Opening Night Docs program @TIFF_NET. I hope this film offers a broader understanding of the Attica tragedy in the crosscurrents of politics, race, power, and punishment.
