Judy gave up her own home to be able to keep this theater in her family and running. You can get another place to live but you can’t get another theater, she said. The margins are razor thin to keep it alive, and a plumbing crisis like this is catastrophic. PLEASE DONATE OR SHARE https://t.co/I319uiuQGK

The Gardena Cinema needs your help. If you've ever gone, please try and donate for their busted pipe problem.

Hollywood’s favorite story: the broke outsider who self-financed an $80k movie on credit cards.

The receipts: a ~$1M elite education, $330k+ in grants on her prior film, and a father - a Chinese real-estate and equity investor - credited as an executive producer.

Survival of the Richest: Hollywood's Broken Talent Pipeline

Good read on how hard it is to make an indie movie and how numbers get fudged to make some seem way more cheap. New word "Poorface."

Little Toni’s in North Hollywood CA if anyone was curious! They were so great to us for the day we filmed there. Fun fact: it was the last day of filming! https://t.co/HuhwLH4EWV
