My copy of the new A24 zine I was interviewed for arrived! The collectors’ conversation I was included in turned out so nice, and I’m so glad this anecdote of mine ended up being the one big pull quote chosen from all the words of mine that could’ve been chosen
A hand holds an A24 zine for Disc Revolution, stylized as if it’s a disc in a Blu-Ray caseA picture of an article inside a zine, with focus directed to a pull quote that reads, “We own five versions of Jane Campion’s In the Cut, and we can’t get rid of any of them.”

One of the absolute best nights of my life, I was touched that so many trans people showed up and expressed how much this screening meant to them, and that so many good friends and loved ones lined up AROUND THE BLOCK for doors to open for a movie made by two trans women… my heart is so full

Endless, tremendous thanks to everyone who came out to the screening of The Matrix last night on a Lilly Wachowski’s personal 35mm print that she very graciously let us project Meant the world to program and introduce this film vital to my transness to a crowd of passionate queer folks 💚

Tonight’s the night!!! Twin Cities film people: do NOT miss your chance to see Lana and @lillywachowski.bsky.social’s masterwork on one of the rarest prints of the film around. This is possibly the coolest way I can imagine ever seeing the film, I am so excited to screen this tonight.

Trans film at this scale is still so rarely funded, so I hope this screening demonstrates the demand for trans films, now more than ever I’m thrilled to use my role as a trans programmer to present this favorite from Lana and @lillywachowski.bsky.social on a gorgeous print, please don’t miss it 💚

My girlfriend dressed me up for my first ever trip to the state renaissance festival 🥰
A curly brown-haired woman looks at the camera with a slight smile. She is wearing a flowy black dress that hangs off her shoulders with a press button corset belt, a choker made of black beads and a rose, a bonnet with hanging black beads over the front brim and a red ribbon, and a yellow flower peeking out from behind her hair.

Some exciting news: I was interviewed about physical media as an avid, longtime collector for the latest A24 zine! It was such a joy getting to chat about where my love of collecting movies comes from, and the thrill of having physical copies of my favorite films, oddities, obscurities, and more
