but as we all know – genocide, authoritarianism + other social justice crimes – wreak HAVOC on the emotional stability of GENERATIONS of #HumansBeing …
That’s the idea of the genocide – to pay the trauma forward into future generations …
with one simple installation that acknowledges the hidden, but devastating damage to the dignity of the human soul – the true eradication of a people – takes place on the inside …
“So, we made a #movie + #soundtrack that deals with all that global cultures are grappling 2 heal: racism, sexism, homophobia climate denial – but until recently, I hadn’t mentioned 2 main characters in the film are never in the same room throughout the entire 2 hour movie. It’s time 2 explore how we sought to discover ways in which we persevere to find meaning – poignancy – even as we communicate beyond boundaries.
I made a movie that deals with – pretty much everything today’s global cultures are grappling to heal – racism, sexism, homophobia + climate denial –
but, up until recently, I hadn’t mentioned that 2 main characters in the film – are actually never in the same room throughout the entire two hour movie.
The week I first published this essay was an appropriate one to explore that aspect – which sought to discover ways in which living beings persevere to always find meaning and – poignancy – even as we communicate beyond arbitrary boundaries.
My movie is loaded with tiny clues symbols + #codes / #code for those who are #game for the treasure-hunt + don’t mind #geekingout to discover some treasure.
I’m not a #scientist + I know u guys get PISSED when movies get it wrong – but I definitely worked, as a poet – to show my love for precious #Science
we all feel the wish to contribute where ever is possible …
This week I’m looking back at this essay … Realizing that my most comfortable means of expression is poetry, so sometimes meaning can be a multilevel multisensory experience …
l continue to be struck by the parallel nature of covid-19 virus + the behaviors we must adopt, then adapt to shield ourselves from it.
Once again, the mirrors in between micro + macro might hold meaning in such reflection?
Just as our walls are permeated and controlled by membranes (include Zoom) – so too are our cell walls.
I don’t pretend to do science.
Just thinking.
what if the cures originate in reverse engineering the protective behaviors we as “host” might need to use for shielding?
But first, don’t we need to identify the truth about the origins of this pathogen? In a climate dominated by lies , that seems extra important.
Here too, truth matters.
My movie and this essay are not science. Again, Just thinking.
My thesis for this part of the movie, was actually my exploration of the word #cellular or “cell.” The outer membrane of a #cell (varying from cell2cell™) both protects the cell but is ALSO often a permeable – “cell-phone” – mode of #transmission which is – of course – #communication + further interesting – is the fact that we call our phones – a principal means of communication / togetherness – “cells” even while – “cells” are a means of both incarceration and #quarantine … Cells have walls that talk, don’t they …
My fascination for the metaphorical “walls” that separate the two characters in my movie – but which also serve as a “means” for communication / transmission – seems so exceptionally poignant this first week of #covid19 awareness in America …
As my anxiety, like that of many – is definitely active whenever I fully attend to “what’s happening” – i find myself rediscovering my film, in ways I had hoped fellow cinephiles would do.
As more find ourselves in a state of what is being called #socialdistancing – I’m ruminating on this thread of the story in
#eVeNgodThisFemaleIsNotYetRated™☯️ perhaps we can schedule an online Facebook discussion about the movie in future. “
Movie out on #AppleTV #iTunes #googleplay #Youtube + #vimeo #worldwide (soundtrack available everywhere music streams )

As with many events these days, it’s likely we won’t forget where we were when a certain thing happened in 2020 … When I heard about Kobe+Gigi – I wasn’t far from where it happened and tho my first instinct was to hope it was a hoax, I heard a flock of very loud Canadian geese flying mightily nearby + my heart thought … maybe they’re hitching a ride and we’ll see them again someday.
KobeBryant is a reminder of the massive effect – one person can have on the entire world … – @vanessabryant
” when I moved from my #hometown #NYC to my new town – #LA – after #gradschool – I stopped wearing a watch i stopped thinking about time … I had spent my childhood running … running … working hard to do well in school, so I could do my art and get away from home … My teachers cared and saw both talent + drive so they ‘skipped me’ into the advanced classes – with the older kids … what I learned best – the work, my art, is sacred in a world that wants a disposable song I decided to sing myself into the future … due to an abusive childhood, i also knew that life is the magic we feel in the tiny ways … I learned in the city streets, subway tunnels , and also in the air coast to coast – that it could be dangerous to move too fast …
