Great to partner with @AusFilm to celebrate award‑winning director Warwick Thornton. A powerful voice in Australian cinema, it’s fantastic to see his First Nations storytelling reaching global audiences, with his work featured in @am_cinematheque’s Bleak Week retrospective.

The #SandyFire in Ventura County has grown to more than 1,364 acres since starting yesterday morning. More than 10,000 homes are under evacuation orders, with another 3,500 under evacuation warnings in the Simi Valley area. High temperatures, drying fuels, and critical fire weather are increasing wildfire conditions across California.  Fire spreads fast. Waiting to prepare is not an option. Take action now:    ✅ Sign up for local emergency alerts 🛣️ Know multiple evacuation routes 🎒 Have your go-bag packed and ready to grab 📢If an evacuation order is issued, leave immediately.   🔗 Build your Wildfire Action Plan: readyforwildfire.org/   For the latest wildfire updates, evacuation information, incident maps, and safety resources, visit fire.ca.gov.   #CALFIREReady #WildfireAwareness #VenturaCounty #Evacuate @VCFD
