Three days ago, I filed for copyright (adulting so hard right now) with a 5 season proposal of a tv show (what!!) I’ve been working on for the past two years. The holidays can officially now begin. #hashtagYES ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #8h51 #womenofthewest #tvshow #tvshows #tvseries #indiefilmmaking #indietv #starz #hbo #netflixseries #wellsee #onward #honinmyo #perioddrama #western #costumehouse #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #femalefilmmakerfriday #romantic_darkness #lostlove #faith🙏 https://www.instagram.com/p/BroBdCKnKea/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ko89hqqzh5jp

More pretty vintage stuff from the let-me-buy-everything-from-the-closing-costumehouse so I can have everything I need for the next film production. And dinner parties. And photo shoots. And garden parties.

In case you are wondering what that is - full story in previous post - but essentially, these, my dears, are cacti in super bloom, shot on an 8mm Bolex, projected onto a cow skull found in the desert. Somewhat fitting for All Hallows’ Eve and the upcoming Dia de Los Muertos, no ? #storytime @digitalbolex @unmfinearts #8h51 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #behindthescene #andotherstories #indiefilm #experimental #experimentalfilm #experimentalcinema #skullart #wildhorses #skywalker #sky_painters #sky_collection #newmexicolove #newmexicoskies #newmexicotrue #albuquerque #unm #universityofnewmexico #catchingthelight #guildtheater #makingof #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #femalefilmmaker #lightart #lightartist #videoprojection #videoart #artvideo https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpqu98GHY4Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iekbsbt5rrhk

Hmmm there goes my triptych idea, 3 days late (but hey, I’m still following the rule of 3! Just... a bit more creatively 😂) So here is photo 2/3 of my countryroads mini-adventure on Friday. Fall has officially hit since then (what! Not ready) and the wool and beanies are now out. Put heat on last night for the first time too. So it begins... ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #hideyochildrenandyowives #winteriscoming #fallleaves #countryroadstakemehome #countryroads #countrygirl #wildflower #bicycletrip #daytimeadventures #adventuring #vaudreuilsoulanges #stpolycarpe #workingfromhome #wildflowers #explorequebec https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZJPzNnlOH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19f6xwg79qlrw

After doing some research in entertainment law, an hour long session with my business coach, going through 200 some photos to figure out which ones to edit, car insurance for overseas explored and a film proposal drafted - and sent ... I went on a much needed adventure down those countryside roads ❤️ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #8h51 #catchingthelight #countrygirl #filmmakinglife #femalefilmmakerfriday #behindthescene #filmproduction #vaudreuilsoulanges #stpolycarpe #adayinthelife #countryroads #countrylifestyle #bicyclette #velo #bicycling #vintagebicycle #vintagebike #taosmoccasins https://www.instagram.com/p/BoSaQTwH021/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10xrprh6o1nvk

Oh, dear full moon! How much emotion you stir ! Now that we are alll recovering from the fact that summer has turned to autumn (time to get the pumpkin pies out!

15 years ago, my sister and I bought a pear tree for our parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. For years- well, 15 to be precise - it did not produce any fruit. I was feeling a bit weird about it, like, what kind of a message is that sending? And then this year, boom. Full harvest. Pears for days. And tasty, too. As a wise friend once said (who is not on IG and cannot be tagged, sadly!) (But I’ll text her this post hehe), sometimes our lives are just like those trees who seem like they have died over the winter- the branches dry and no sign of life can be seen. Equally, sometimes we work as hard as we can on a project/a vision/a goal and it seems like nothing is working, like our efforts are going unnoticed and nothing is moving. But what the eye cannot see, is that the sap is slowly but surely making its way to each of the little branches, until one day, when the time is right and the environment ready, boom, the tree blossoms. As do our lives, and that pear tree. That’s what faith is about, right? Knowing that that sap is there, climbing its way - even if we can’t see it. Same with our dreams. I’ve been working on some stuff for a looong while now with no apparent results, and when I get discouraged, well I just need to go put my face in that pear tree. Thank you for the lesson ! #keepgoing ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #8h51 #catchingthelight #sundaychurch #lifelesson #wisdominapeartree #lifeandlove #fruitoftheday #faithoverfear #followyourheart #followyourbliss #pear #wisewomen #listentoyourheart #imoutofsappyhashtags #haveagoodday https://www.instagram.com/p/BnymcurHF7f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gjx3ij6kgnpf

The unreal performance by @damsonidris as the lead role of Enitan in #Farming is a MUST SEE. Absolutely mind blown.
