For B. Pagels-Minor, the pregnant employee Netflix terminated on “suspicion” of a leak, the question became: How can we say very clearly, you can make 25 or 100 specials of LGBTQ+-comedy people for the same price as one Chappelle special? vult.re/30Tmyf1

Here’s the thread about Halyna that I posted last year when we released the movie. I was lucky to have known her and to have worked with her. ❤️
Replying to @adamegypt
Halyna Hutchins, ARCHENEMY’s DP, has a brilliant mind for light and texture. Her tastes and sensibility of what is cinematic were a huge asset for executing our style — the grimy but beautiful feeling I referred to as ROMANTIC BRUTALSM.

So so proud. 🙌🏾 We cannot be silenced, or erased. We get to say what’s harmful and how it impacts us. Our experiences—and our identities—belong to us. And we will continue to tell our stories.
In my life, I have a simple barometer by which I measure all things. It is whether my mom would be proud of me for what I've done or am doing. I think she would be very proud today of what I wrote today for the @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

That time when the blueprint (Norman Lear) saw #themspatshow pilot early and sent a video 😩😍😍🥺 I never thought I’d hear this man say my name. I still can’t find the words 🙌🏾 it’s humbling.
