Indie Artists Are Endangered Species
By ©CaliLili™
A “coupla” years ago, I set out to make my Indie Feature Film and Full length album, both of which are ABOUT Diversity.

My FIERCELY INDIE Upcycled, Recycled Sustainable, and Green Film + Music FeMtO™StudiO was built from SCRATCH with upcycled and recycled materials and honors the Ocean environment on which it stands.

I wanted to MAKE my projects with a DIVERSE Team AND I wanted to be FREE from Corporate Overlords.
It took me a second, but I did it … with a whole lotta help from my team.
I can proudly say, we ARE in our final stages of POST Production as the mostly edited film has been awaiting her music, and her ENDING SCENE … the album is damn near complete and we shot our ending:) This is the first of many in the pipeline of my now thriving FeMtO™StudiO
The Oscars controversy led me to meditate on a topic I will continue to explore as one of my personal challenges, as an “Outsider” working at the “Cutting Edge Of The Pacific™ ” … and Hollywood.

I was faced with this challenge very early on in life bc I knew that I was born to make art from the moment I became aware of my existence … … unfortunately, raising myself in abusive circumstances made these challenges far more challenging and I’ve been steadily climbing the hill for a long time now … …but that abusive childhood actually PREPARED me for some of what I’ve experienced in the Hollywood experience … though, I must admit, I was heartbroken to discover the gatekeeper often sexist and exceptionally hurtful atmosphere.

Dear Friends

It’s no joke,

Indie Artists, especially Females + Persons Of Color and or So Called “Alternative Cultural / Sexual Preference / Lifestyle / Gender Orientation” ARE an Endangered Species.

Everybody knows the story of now famous painter Vincent VanGogh who lived in poverty, cut his own ear off in desperation, and who’s paintings after death, made gazillions of cash, generating it’s own industry.

I’m advocating that our cultures directly keep artists working while we are alive.

Many dangers … (ctd)
