A THOUSAND AND ONE is remarkable. @TEYANATAYLOR is tender & tough, simply mesmerizing. @AVRockwell has a beautifully insightful take on Black motherhood - melding setting, sound, and symbolism to interrogate what it means to build and hold onto a home. #sundance


I’m headed to #Sundance for the first time in-person for its second leg - Jan 25-29! Who else is going? Let’s plot how to attend Closing Night parties!

Heartbroken. He was my mentor and, over the last couple of years, became my very good friend. Jonathan remains a model for bold, elastic thinking. I am indebted.

With terrible sadness Lynne Huffer and I are writing to let you know that dear Jonathan Goldberg died early this morning, December 9. Michael and his two daughters were with him. Some words from us about his remarkable, queer career. He is irreplaceable as a colleague and friend.
