FRIDAY AFTERNOON New York Premiere at NewFilmmakers NY
Very excited to announce that FRIDAY AFTERNOON will be screening with NewFilmmakers NY! The screening is at 9:00 PM on Monday, November 25, 2019 at the fabulous Anthology Film Archives in the East Village.
NewFilmmakers NY is a year-round festival and screening series that’s been running in New York City for 22 years, and I just love it. They’ve played several of my films, including my undergraduate thesis, and so I’m very excited to be screening my first feature with them this month.
If you’re in New York or the Tri-State Area, please come out! Tickets are $7 and available at the box office on the day of the screening only. Press release here.

Final Screening in Mexico City
It all begins with an idea.
We were all excited — and surprised — that over 90 people showed up to our final screening with MICGénero in Mexico City. We got to screen Friday Afternoon at the beautiful Cineteca Nacional, which was just an absolute dream. The Q&A was fantastic, and I was so lucky to have lead actors Kim Blanck and Andrew R. Butler there with me.

Screening Number 2 at MICGénero
It all begins with an idea.
Friday Afternoon’s first screening at MICGénero was great! The film played last night at Cinemex Insurgentes and we had a great crowd for the screening and Q&A. I was there with my editor, the fabulous Jacqueline Basse, whose sisters, cousins, and aunts all came out to support us.

Friday Afternoon Accepted to MICGénero!
It all begins with an idea.
I am so excited to announce that my first feature film, Friday Afternoon, has been accepted to Festival MICGénero — Muestra Internacional de Cine con Perspectiva de Género. The film will be screening on three dates — August 2, August 7, and August 10, 2019 — in Mexico City, and then the festival will be taking it on the road to Xalapa, Veracruz on September 1, 2019, and then to the state of Guerrero with screenings in Chilpancingo on September 9, 2019, and Acapulco on September 12, 2019. We are planning to attend at least two of the screenings in Mexico City!
MICGénero is, as you might be able to tell from the full title, a festival “with gender perspective.” It’s not simply a women’s film festival or a queer film festival, but one that focuses on gender and sexuality as it interacts with life and the world. My whole team and I are very excited to be a part of it, and very excited to get to go to Mexico City!
