my work shows people who take on extraordinary challenges and reveals beauty that hides in plain sight. mostly through film, i do it with great care and a love for honest collaboration. let’s talk if you want to work together.
you can find me where the skies are blue - with the same handle you’ve known me for during all of these years. ciao for now. svanes.
a whole lot of @SeymourChwast happening in this animation by arthur sevestre for l'Imperatrice! love the many crowd shots - and the story too. youtube.com/watch?v=YC0ErOoQ…

A real illness I have is I still think "if I just make sure people have the right information then they will change their mind."
not all paradigms can be flattened to oppressor vs. oppressed. it strikes me how many conveniently overlook the continued existence of anti-semitism. any apparent absence of it doesn’t mean it’s gone while the consequences of forgetting are very, very real. choose slogans wisely.
i only subscribed to @latimes because of @cmonstah and always looked forward to the weekly "Essential Arts" - essential reading indeed. selfishly, i'm so sorry to see you go. best of luck writing about the chile of your childhood (and today). see you at buttondown.email/cmonstah

The epitome of doom scrolling is checking to see which of my favorite reporters lost their jobs today. We take local news for granted. It’s disappearing before our eyes.
Really sad, disturbing day for all of Los Angeles.
yesterday word arrived from NYC that a colleague took his own life. he was alone in that moment. he has no idea how many people are affected by his death and were directly impacted by his life. i wish for his 3 children and for those who loved him that he’d have chosen otherwise.
tonight, i’m doing a bit of spoken word in long beach, california. part of “speak.easy.” still cutting my teeth, learning how to do this live, but if you’re in the area, hit me up for details. longbeachcommunitytheater.co…
when you hear a song that's new to you for the very first time and it's magic and tragic all at once. nowhere man and a whiskey girl - hat tip to @courtneymamusic for sharing this on @guardian: youtube.com/watch?v=c7B97fdm…
TONI ERDMANN is such a wonderful film, with heart-warming performances from its performers. theguardian.com/film/2023/ma…
happy to see @CarriFragoza's “Eat the Mouth That Feeds You” on here. most excellent.

respect to gloria. lots of firsts. and additional respect to the quilters in her group. theguardian.com/us-news/2023…
to understand #eurovision in 2023, one could extract lessons from “everything everywhere all at once.” there's a delirious schizoid-silliness at its center which can be read as a subversively liberating form of resilience in response to the socio-political darkness of our times.
if only more angelenos loved #eurovision as much as the euro ex-pats do. it has ALL the things. one can dream. nytimes.com/2023/05/12/arts/…
LA peeps! thrilled to announce that i’ll be one of ten speakers on stage tonight as part of “speak.easy” story hour. if you’re down in southern LA county — long beach, man — come by! you’re in for a treat. donations raised tonight benefit @HOUSEofHAVENorg. longbeachcommunitytheater.co…
