This Spirit Rangers episode might be my favorite thing I've ever written. “Not Your Opossum Mascot” is about racist Native American sports mascots, appropriation, and its effects on Native kids. I still can't believe they let me put this scene in a kids show! #SpiritRangers
Yikes!

Belated Nevada City Film Festival Photo Dump! @NCFilmFestival is a fun festival in a very cute town. It’s run by great people who love film and treat filmmakers right. 10/10 fest would screen again!

I’ve spent the past few weeks as a fellow in the @AllianceNative Native American Showrunner Program and it’s so fun! NAMA is an organization working to elevate Indigenous creatives all over the place. Their programs are really helpful and I strongly recommend checking them out!
Belated @BFFfestival photo dump! I have no idea what my eyes are doing in that Getty photo. This festival rocks!
