Thank you all for coming to the screening of Birth of the Hive Queen and Jason & Shirley Revisited at Spectacle Theater.

I had an insightful and probing conversation with Stephen Winter, Jack Waters, Peter Cramer and Sarah Schulman discussing the race, gender, and class paradigms which besiege the characters of the film.

If you unfortunately missed both screenings do not worry. On Tuesday, May 19th there will be a screening with a Q&A moderated by @judysquirrels at Nitehawk Prospect Park and on Saturday, May 23rd there is an encore screening again at Spectacle.

For more info the links are in the bio.

My most recent short film Birth of the Hive Queen is screening at Spectacle Theater before Jason and Shirley Revisited by the illustrious director Stephen Winter @stephenwintersir

Following the screenings both nights I will be moderating a Q&A with Sarah Schulman, Jack Waters and Stephen Winter about how they concocted this gonzo film re-examining the now infamous Portrait of Jason.

Thank you to the powerhouse programmer, @jurassic_seb who made this all possible.

I would not want you to miss this iconic screening, more info and tickets in bio.
