Behold: the most delicious footage I have ever shot! Here’s how to make the burger our founding fathers would have wanted you to make.

Sadly, producers, writers, and directors who create content don’t seem to find women over 40 appealing, attractive, or interesting. We are essentially fossils... It’s as though the door that was once wide open slowly closes and eventually slams shut. At this point—I kick the damn door open.

Laurene Landon, whose small but poignant role in the new Zoe Cassavetes movie Day Out Of Days speaks volumes about women in Hollywood

“We're trying to talk about [why] trans-feminine friendship is so important and coming together and building community. It's not only personally fulfilling and important, but it's also a way to push back against a culture of violence that targets trans women out in the world." 

I interviewed Rhys Ernst, Transparent co-producer, about This is Me, his fascinating series of short documentaries that explore the lives of transgender and gender non-conforming people in Los Angeles.

When we collect things, context is incredibly important to us, as is the historical moment in which these things are made. But first and foremost, we want the things we have in our museum to have really powerful formal qualities to really ignite people's eyes... The way [Gilbert Baker] chose to instrumentalize [the rainbow] in a new context is indicative of some of the best designs out there, including the @ sign. [The rainbow] existed, and yet his work as an artist or a designer was to ask us to look at it again in a new light."

When I was 15, I bought a bootleg copy of “Decline of Western Civilization” from a guy in a plaid suit whose business card said “punk rocker.” We were at Sunset Junction Street Fair, a now-defunct music fest in Silver Lake, and I’d just achieved a rite of passage for punk rockers everywhere. The movie, with its rare footage of X, Black Flag, and the Germs, has had a profound impact on me ever since. It even inspired me to make my own punk rock documentary in high school. This year, director Penelope Spheeris released all three Decline movies for the first time ever. When I got the opportunity to interview her, I asked the question on everyone’s minds for years: what took so long?
