Trans people, nonbinary people, and queer people have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Long before agriculture, money, or white people came along.

If capitalism is so great, why doesn’t it exist in ANYONE’S version of heaven?

What a joy-filled day at the Director’s Guild celebrating 25 years of the Asian American Committee! So grateful for the DGA’s commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion—it’s what makes moments like this possible. And yes… I wore that shirt. You can grab one in my shop if you feel like repping too!

Thank you, Ricky, for your kindness, your talent, and for helping keep his spirit alive. Rest well. 🇵🇭

Ricky recently shared some words from Lino in a interview about professionalism in acting, “‘If you want to become a great actor, first and foremost, you have to be a good person’—that has become my mantra ever since.”

This has been a rough few weeks for Filipinos. RIP to an icon of Filipino cinema, Ricky Davao. I’m deeply grateful to have met him. He was a brilliant actor and director, and someone who took the time share heartfelt stories with me about working with my late uncle, Lino Brocka.

Celebrate AAPI Month in Style! This Pinoy Storyteller shirt is for my fellow Filipino creatives—whether you’re behind the camera or lighting up the screen. Inspired by my wild ride filming Love & Lockdown in the Philippines, literally lying on the floor of a Jeepney to stay out of frame.

I was aiming for whimsy and simplicity but also make a political statement — those wedding bands wrapped around the world were a protest. At the time, the US didn’t recognize same sex marriage and states were going out of their way to ban it, including California.

The best part of making your own T-shirts is wearing them! I created this in honor of the drag artists who’ve been instrumental in shaping who I am. I dabbled in drag in my teens but was not good & it was so expensive. My name was Fellatia. She became a character on Rick & Steve. brocka.dashery.com

If you’re a queer and/or Filipino filmmaker, this is the ultra-niche T-shirt shop for you! And yes, you can finally get your own Dick Dickey’s Drama Camp tee from Eating Out: Drama Camp. Take a look. Share it around. Wear it loud. 🌈🎥✨ brocka.dashery.com

It started with swag for my films and my show Rick & Steve, but quickly grew into something bigger, things I care deeply about: celebrating Queer Cinema, Filipino visibility, Trans Rights, Filmmaking, Drag Queens, and pop culture.

Over the years, people have asked if I had shirts from my films. I never did - until now! I finally decided to create my own funky T-shirts!

Q. Allan Brocka @brocka.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

I love funky T-shirts! Whenever I travel, it’s the one thing I hunt for. Not the airport or gas station shirts— something offbeat, unique, made by a local designer. A piece of a place to remember, to spark a conversation, to make someone smile.

I got a sneak peak of new music videos from both @ryancassata and @tomgoss tonight at their premiere party. They also performed for us! Tom’s “Bear Soup” is so much fun. Ryan really knocked it out of the park with his catchy song “I Feel Like Throwing Up.”

I’m thinking back to this incredible screening of Lino Brocka’s Bona at the Academy Museum a few months ago. Watching Nora Aunor’s nuanced performance on a huge screen was exhilarating. It was easy to see how millions could look into her eyes and instantly see themselves. Rest in Peace Nora Aunor.

Yes, it’a sequel to the seminal doc “The Celluloid Closet,” which Jeffrey also worked on. It picks up where the previous film leaves off and explores the last 30 years of LGBTQ+ cinema and where we are today, with our work being banned and our community under attack.

He’s literally taking money out of their retirement accounts promising it’ll eventually trickle down back to them and they are lapping it up. #KeepWaitingForTheTrickle
