Today marks 5 years since dad died. We are all a little sad, coping individually in our own ways. But it’s both remarkable & delightful that dad is still so clearly loved by so many. Yes, he’s missed... but with so much of “him” in the work he made, he’s clearly still here. ❤️

Elizabeth Warren. Socialists call her a capitalist, right wingers call her a socialist, and through it all she remains the most poised, smartest person in the room. If she wasn’t a woman, she’d already be nominated.

You know why most film makers are liberal? Because our job is to make you care about situations & people. And to do that, we think a lot about that kind of shit & channel it into our work. You don’t care about other people? This is not the job for you.

Creative arts can be painful. I remember my dad being beaten up numerous times by critics, only to have those same people come back 5/10 years later & say that in retrospect the work was ahead of its time. Was even revolutionary! Be patient. Good work proves out in the end. 🤓
