I already know I’m gonna be no good after the “Big One.” That earthquake was an hour ago and I’m still shaking.
The intentional use of light and color in @SingSingMovie really contributed to the overall storytelling. Specifically the sun and the jewel tones stood out to me.
I used to think growing up without a father was hard. Growing up without a country was even harder. - An immersive dive into otherness, "Black Bastard" questions family, identity & belonging in America. #BlackBastard #HFF24 #lathtr

my current YouTube obsession is Black House Radio
“a YouTube series for Black DJs and Black sound paying homage to the past, present, and future of house music” and it’s literally just a bunch of very queer curated lil kickbacks.
A glimpse into my acting journey. Thank you @Backstage for the spotlight.
"I took four years off from pursuing an acting career to simply live my life. When I returned, I had a clearer vision of what I wanted," actor Jon Gentry says to Backstage. Read our full interview 👇 backstage.com/magazine/artic…
