“People can’t believe this…and then you turn on the news, same thing. It’s just a cycle.” — Mrs. Ruby Martin on the shooting in Charleston, sadly her words continue to be true. This cycle of white supremacy and violence must end.

on the challenges of creating culture as a Muslim filmmaker: “At worst, we are condemned as monsters; at best, we are objects of pity in stories that attempt to “humanize” us. We so rarely get to tell our stories from our own lens.” latimes.com/opinion/story/20… #MyMuslimFilm #Sundance

🎥 This year at @truefalsefilmfest: The premiere of @JonSesrie’s feature AFTER SHERMAN (@after_sherman), and in-person screenings for @sierrpett’s @riotsvilleusa and @joeahunting’s @wemetinvrfilm!

ALT A still from "After Sherman." A person, tinted cyan and wearing a collared shirt, stares directly ahead at a hazy blue-gray nature-scape, back to the camera.
ALT A still from "Riotsville, USA." A group of people wearing tactical gear in a pink haze.
ALT A still from "We Met in Virtual Reality." Two figures—one has long, hot pink hair and wearing short overalls, and the other has short black hair, animal ears, and is wearing a long, beige coat—are standing in a nighttime outdoor scene, with fiery floating lanterns and castle architecture behind them.
