Very cool to talk to director @alicewu.bsky.social on the occasion of her SAVING FACE becoming a part of the Criterion Collection! Alice is feeling seen by two very different complicated women: Frances from FRANCES HA and Jane from BROADCAST NEWS. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Meanwhile, #F1 felt like being in a loud nightclub AND a very long board meeting simultaneously. Did not like.

Thank you to @letterboxd.social for commemorating our 20th anniversary with a wonderful conversation with Adesola Thomas! So wild it's been 20 years when the actors still look exactly the same...

Upon Saving Face’s twentieth anniversary, writer-director Alice Wu chats with Adesola about her history-making rom-com’s lesbian legacy, ﬁnding inspiration in Tootsie and why her ﬁlm is ultimately a love letter to her mother. boxd.it/2ys

itty bitty screencap study from #TheHalfOfIt by @alicewu.bsky.social

Small watercolor painting of a Chinese girl with glasses, a ponytail and a lumberjack shirt. She is looking to the side, and opposite her we see her mirror image in front of a tiled bathroom wall with some red accent tiles.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

The "duh" of it all is that health insurance should never have been a privatized, for-profit venture. Our health vs. CEO's pay is like bureaucratic Gladiator writ large.

Yes! I asked if they could do this at the end of “The Half of It”, but they said there was no way to change their system. It always made me sad that most people who worked on the film would never see their name scroll past in the credits. #filmsky #netflix

Hahaha! I found out that was in my wiki during a meeting with a well-known actress who said, “I read in your Wikipedia that you lead a private life. I - too - lead a private life.” And I thought: “*That’s* what it says in my Wikipedia?” In truth, nothing all that interesting to report…

This was a fun one! All eps now available on Hulu for your mind-bending, meta binging pleasure. Had the honor of directing ep 5. Got to witness humble genius Charlie Yu at work, plus a stable of killer cast and crew. As DP Mike Berlucci said in prep: “Let’s get weird…” #interiorchinatown

Cover of novel “Mama Day” by Gloria Naylir with the upturned hands of a Black woman against a dark blue night sky as lightning emanates from the heavens. It feels magical and foreboding.

Most profound quote of the week comes from an immensely talented artist, who also happens to be six-years-old, who blurted in a fit of pique: “DRAWING IS MY FAVORITE ENEMY.” That is how I feel about filmmaking. #intro

Still in a stupor of denial. Keep thinking I’ll awake to find that half the country has been unmasked as bots, their votes suspended as their batteries wear down en-masse. Honestly, as believable as anything right now.
