“As children, we all live in a world of imagination, of fantasy, and for some of us that world of make-believe continues into adulthood.”
― Jim Henson

I am an artist, designer, and filmmaker. I love making dreamy ideas into immersive realities.

A couple of weeks have come and gone since I atten A couple of weeks have come and gone since I attended an online screening of @consciencepointfilm for #indigenouspeoplesday, but it’s still on my mind. It feels too important and too close to home not to write about - better late than never. Writer/director/producer Treva Wurmfeld’s 2019 documentary poignantly captures the historical and contemporary struggles of the indigenous Shinnecock Nation of Eastern Long Island. Wurmfield expertly peels back the glamorous exterior of the Hamptons to reveal the dark, disturbing history just below the surface (often literally.) What began with European settlers cheating the Shinnecock out of their land developed into the U.S. government aggressively reducing the reservation further and further over the years. This same pattern continues today with real estate developers building bloated vacation homes for the ultra-wealthy on Shinnecock burial grounds while Southhampton officials and businesses profit off of hosting the U.S. Open on stolen lands at a golf club that uses the Shinnecock name and image. Meanwhile overdevelopment and the resultant pollution damage the local ecology and threaten the Shinnecock way of life, reducing them to subsistence fishermen of steadily dwindling aquatic populations. Luckily the Shinnecock have the seemingly endless patience and courage of activist Becky Genia-Hill on their side. Watching Genia-Hill struggle to get her message across to superficially receptive audiences (the East Hampton town council, a white tourist in town for the U.S. Open) is incredibly frustrating, heartbreaking, and inspiring all at the same time. There are moments in the film that seem too absurd to be real - but this situation has been all too real for the Shinnecock Nation for the past four hundred years. #femalefilmmakerfriday #fiveminutefilmreview #shinnecocknation #consciencepoint #independentlens

Happy 30th Anniversary to this perfect confection Happy 30th Anniversary to this perfect confection 🌈🍭 Also I just have to take this opportunity to brag that I was once compared to Elizabeth Fraser - one of the highlights of my life!
We lost a real one. We lost a real one.
Thanks for this ghostly image from the Great Befor Thanks for this ghostly image from the Great Before, @repurposedwafflehouse. Here I am installing my Herbal Witch Den one last time at the “Can You See The Water Now?” show at @the_living_gallery. Looking at it makes me miss the times when we could still gather together to make & display art in as large a group as we desired. But I am grateful to be getting to work on creative projects 24/7 in this strange new world. *Sigh* Life can never be exactly how we want it to be. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #filmphotography #filmsnotdead #witchyshit #👻

Hi❣️ Please follow me at @echos_answer, my acc Hi❣️ Please follow me at @echos_answer, my account about the late, great Trish Keenan and her band Broadcast. It is my life’s work, what’s getting me through 2020, etc. Even if you’re not a Broadcast obsessive like me, I think there are a lot of interesting pictures, facts, quotes, and video about music, film, synthesizers, psychedelia, hauntology, and more. And you never know, you might become a fan. 😸 Thanks! #patricianannekeenan #trishkeenanforever #broadcasttheband #trishkeenan #hauntology
I was so excited when I found out that @instagramb I was so excited when I found out that @instagramber and @nathalie.christmas were teaming up because I love both of them and I love music videos! I got to know Ms. Mark through her gorgeous “Conexão” EP and subsequent bops. I discovered Ms. Christmas through her dreamy videos for @jessicaleamayfield. The collaboration produced a delightfully frothy mix of Old Hollywood glamour and modern hip hop edge for the Henry Mancini-sampling single “Generous.” Of course I adore the references to classic musicals peppered with just enough anachronism to feel fresh - it captured the song’s vibe perfectly. And it’s all shot on beautiful 16mm! 😻 #femalefilmmakerfriday #nathaliechristmas #namesakecontent #musicvideo #ambermark #generous #16mm

Yay I’m so excited that it’s #femalefilmmakerf Yay I’m so excited that it’s #femalefilmmakerfriday because I meant to write about this one last week but forgot! I’ve been wanting to see “Little Woods” since I first saw the poster last year. Ironically, I thought it was some sort of magical realist tale set in an enchanted forest. LOL. I think I just saw the title, dreamy design, and that Tessa Thompson was in it and got carried away. As it turns out, it is *not* a magical realist tale set in an enchanted forest. However, it is probably the best movie I’ve watched in the past month or two, definitely the best new movie I’ve seen recently, and a completely “self-assured debut.” (I’ve noticed film critics use that phrase a lot. If I use it does that make me a bona fide film critic? Lolz) If I had to quickly describe it I’d say “a kitchen sink drama in which the sink is our broken healthcare system, slowly leaking in the beginning of the film and by the end flooding the kitchen.” Tessa Thompson plays Ollie, a North Dakota woman who used to work smuggling prescription drugs from Canada. Her work was illegal but morally gray - healthcare is difficult (and in some cases, like getting a safe abortion, impossible) to access and unaffordable for the working class denizens of Little Woods. However, we find Ollie on the last week of a long parole, turning down potential painkiller customers left and right, making her parole officer proud. There’s no way she’d go back to her old life! Enter Deb, Ollie’s needy yet caring sister, played by the ever-appealing Lily James. Of course Deb presents a complication and Ollie must find a way to help her sister while avoiding a run-in with the law. In some ways, like the high stakes and compressed timeline, this is a classic thriller. In other ways - passing the Bechdel test, exploring contemporary issues like healthcare and justice reform, presenting a messy and authentic-feeling modern family - it feels totally fresh and of-the-moment. The ensemble cast is terrific, the writing is tight, and the photography is beautiful. I can’t think of one bad thing to say about it. Guess I’m not a film critic after all. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #fiveminutefilmreview #littlewoodsmovie #niadacosta #littlewoods
