“I’ve discovered that the process of sharing my drawings in person makes me feel extremely vulnerable, and that I’m surprisingly capable of tolerating much of the discomfort that comes along with it,” artist @hysterixa shared of her opening show.

"The thing that really got me is I could feel magic in the story. I could feel a spiritualism in the story and that is what really started to get my interest. I thought there was something very deep going on under this story and, as I got to meet the real-life people and get more information, I realized that was actually the truth. They were all very spiritual people and very connected people," director Garth Davis shared with us on what originally drew him to the now Oscar-nominated film Lion. #LionMovie #DevPatel #GarthDavis #OscarNominated

“Women are criticized for caring too much about romantic relationships as though there’s weakness to that, and there’s nothing weak about it,” @kino_kimino shares about Tori Amos’s “Leather” this Valentine’s Day. 🌹 "I like how she’s talking about it in such a candid way. It’s not insecure. She’s not shy, she’s not embarrassed. There’s nothing wrong about talking about something so human.” Read more at overbored.com (link in the bio) or stop by @bootlegtheater as she performs a benefit in support of @globalgreen. 🌎 Can’t make tonight? Then you’re in luck. 🍾 She’ll be playing again on Thursday at @ghostramp 👁 in Chinatown. Catch her before she’s gone. 📸: @kennethbachor #kinokimino #sonicyouth #baitisforsissies (at Bootleg Theater)

"[Making films is] absolutely cathartic. As it is cathartic for Jake [Gyllenhaal]'s character in the film to get all of this out of him and say to someone, 'This is what you did to me. This is how it felt when you ripped away my family.' And so that's what this story is about in a sense, is the ability for catharsis through fiction, through written work, through art in a certain way. And so yes it's absolutely cathartic for me. It may seem strange having a fashion designer sit here talking about this film, but as human beings in the film there's this materialistic world that Susan [Amy Adams, above] lives in and it's emptiness and that's something that I struggle with. I'm past the point where Susan is and I've come to terms with it," @tomford shared last month to a packed audience at The Theatre at Ace Hotel after a screening of his sophomore film, Nocturnal Animals. Have you seen the film? What did you think? We're catching up on awards season films this week so stay tuned! #NocturnalAnimals #AmyAdams #JakeGyllenhaal #OscarNominated (at The Theatre at Ace Hotel DTLA)

“I really wanted to understand why my dad was so upset as a union member about local politics when his friend, Richard Chavez, was arrested for enforcing a picket line with laborers. This was in Anaheim in the 90’s. That’s when I started asking questions,” @nickwaterhouse shares of the first time he gained interest in politics during the #LoveTrumpsHate benefit for @plannedparenthood and the ACLU.

“At the end of the day, don't be afraid to speak up. This is not someone's country, it's everybody's country. Just don't stay silent and don't be afraid. There's so many people in the world. Don't think this is what the world is like now. It's not. The world is still like you and don't change,” Brian Auburt of @sspu shared at the #LoveTrumpHate benefit for @plannedparenthood and @aclu_nationwide.

“The whole idea of Alexx Mack started when I would be out with friends and I would 'mack' on a guy. My friends called me out on it a lot. It turned into a long running joke that turned into my alter ego,” @missalexxmack shares on how her namesake was born.

"If writing isn’t coming naturally, we’ll play games to keep us on our toes and make it fun. Sometimes we’ll split into pairs of 2 and see who can come up with the better chorus in 15 minutes. We can get competitive. The best part of writing with them is that we all have different styles and tastes in music so when we all unanimously agree that a song is amazing then we know it will be something special for other people," @frankiemusic shares how her and her band power through writer's block.

"It’s about networking and making a good reputation for yourself, which comes from showing up and working hard. Doing the best job that you can and being pleasant to work with. Every co-write you go into, you have to be present. You have to bring your A-game and work hard and take it seriously. It’s the same thing in acting. You’ve got to do a good job and be fun to work with, show up on time and bring your best," @katie.garfield shares her keys to success. 🔑 Read more at overbored.com. 🌟 Photography by @shannafisher Make up and Hair by @sashaborax #katiegarfield #nashville #birthofanation #younggunspublishing (at Cha Cha Cha Restaurant)

"'Ma' successfully does what a dancefilm should be able to do which is reimagining the stage as a frame, the stage director and/or dramaturge as the cinematographer and editor. Although it has dance and movement in it, it does not rely on grandiose, sweeping dance to show this; it allows a viewer to see dance in the corners of a frame, in a gesture, in fingertips, in the lines and patterns of buildings and shadows, in facial expressions, in the relationship of one still body to another, in the mundane more or less. I think that is an important statement that has been a goal of the festival since it began: in how many places, and in how many ways can we find dance?" @40northfest co-founder Chelsea Zeffiro on how showcase feature 'Ma' encapsulated the spirit of dance film. #40northfest #dancefilm #mathefilm #celiarowlsonhall

“You leave the film and you want to know more about it. How come I didn't know about this important court case or these two people? You want to investigate a little bit more. It gives back, especially now with everybody so divisive. This is the anti-thesis of that. It’s about loving,” Cinematographer Adam Stone shares on @lovingthefilm, in select theaters now.
