Examples of Chekhov’s gun in Knives Out (2019)

Chekhov’s gun (Russian: Чеховское ружьё) is a dramatic principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed.

“If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there.”

Hello, everyone!

This week is the last week for us to raise the remaining $4,279 to make my short film Before, After & In Between

It’s important to help out black indie female filmmakers and it sucks when the door is a bit too heavy for you to open by yourself. I was the only black woman to graduate in Pratt Institute’s Film/Video program in 2018–alongside only four other women and 2 other black people. This made me realize I had to be in this 100% and fully prepared to fight for it. I also learned battles are not won alone–we need allies and I am asking for your help. I am asking you to set the stage (and to maybe lower the mic stand a bit, I’m 5'2) so I can find and share my voice with an audience of people who are constantly overlooked.

Writing this film pulled me out of a 2 year long depression. I keep fighting for this film to get made and it’d be a shame if not being able to raise the necessary money were the reason the story of a lifetime could not be told.

Please donate! Even $5 can help.

In December 2014, the first trailer for The Force Awakens dropped.

On Tumblr, the Star Wars fandom started to come out of dormancy for the first time.

Like… This post isn’t about forgetting a name/age because of memory loss, social anxiety or dyslexia. This post is specifically about how Straight Men aren’t involved enough in their kid’s education and well-being. It’s about the inequity of gender roles, and how men aren’t expected to care too much about their children.

We have a concept for this in French: “la charge mentale” (the mental load). It explains how women are expected to do all the chores and to remember everything which is relevant about the children’s development, while the men just… aren’t.

The ManDADlorian

My very first The Mandalorian art guys. Also my very first artwork of a Mandalorian, of a Yoda species, and my very first Star Wars artwork that I turned into an animation. I really love this show and hope to see more great things come from it. Can’t wait for what’s next! Babie Yoda Uwu is too adorable.
