Paul (our Nelson) wrote and directed a short film and its first teaser trailer is out!
About a young man preparing for a meeting with a stranger that will cost him his life or his soul, “You Can’t Die Here” explores the complexity of race, class, and inequality in the tragic deaths of unarmed Black American men. Given Paul’s track record, we’re sure this film will be outstanding.
Check out the trailer and be sure to visit the film’s website for future updates.
“So please, go out and write some mythology. Write some mythology that thinks hard about the vulnerable and marginalized, instead of fetishizing the power structures that marginalized them in the first place. You have freaking dragons at your disposal. Go make the world better with them.”
Christian wrote an article for the well-curated and consistently thoughtful Fantasy blog Mythic Scribes. In it, he talks about “black & white” vs. “grey” Fantasy and some of the ethical issues involved with each. You can read the full article here.
Greetings dear viewers!
In addition to all the other awesome stuff that our cast members have been up to lately, we wanted to let you know that the amazingly talented Julie Reed (who plays Jen, among other parts) will be performing the role of Hadass in a Heights Players production of YENTL by Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer.
There are performances the next two weekends, and you can get all the important details here. We hear great things about the play, as well as this production of it. So if you’re going to be near Brooklyn, you should definitely check it out. And then you can find out why Julie signed her personal press release about it ‘#yolo’.
