Enjoy the needles! I’m in remission but I have to get tested every 3 months and I blew it off this summer because I wanted to swim naked and do plant medicines and have fun with my kids (separate things, mostly 🤭) so now it’s been awhile and @ifpfilm #ifpweek just ended and here I am, back at the doctor. Blood test for CA125 , one of the only tests they have for #ovariancancer . That and the dildo ultrasound. After watching my teaser at a pitch table a woman shared she had fibroids and a slightly elevated CA125 level. “I can’t tell you what to do but I’d get rid of it as soon as I was done with it.” She had ovarian and breast cancer in her family. “I know as soon as I get an abnormal read they are coming off,” I laughed, gesturing to my tits. #womensheathcareasperformamceart #canceralovestory #ovariancancer #ovariancancerawareness #uterinecancer #needles #fuckcancer #gettested #earlydetection https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_3nnjh6eA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fthwtss7c9x3

Thanks @ifpfilm for the social media spot! The fine print is what’s really important here : “End the perpetuation of systematic race/gender/sex/ability/class - based economic oppression.” Leotard by @projectforemptyspace @rjampol @browngirlcurator 🎥👊💥 @ifpfilm is really helping to change the culture and bring new voices to film and TV. The voices in the #screenforwardlabs are awesome and fresh and it’s so fun to be here with my project and supporting my friends’ projects. We are pitching each other’s projects because we believe in #shinetheory - I got am email saying they had watched my teaser but it wasn’t right for them and I wrote back “Thanks! Have you seen X because might be great for you.” So tired and full of joy that I’m not even nervous anymore. There is so much talent and potential in these rooms. I have no idea what’s up with the clit nipples under my top. #clitnipples #ifpweek #ifpweek2018 #dumbo #brooklyn #rapeculture #fuckcancer #feminist #feministperformanceart #feministperformanceartist #feministfilmmakerfriday #brooklyn #bowlcut #love https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn7ezMfhbpv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7cdxzasjay6l

#ifpweek day 2 : Orientation, Panels of the amazing female directors from #queensugar and directors of #rbgmovie and producer of #wontyoubemyneighbor and another orientation and a party where I ran into #gilholland who I knew from 90’s indie film. Heidi gave me great advice. My lab classmates and I had fun. I have to remind myself that I making a project that I love, that i want to tell a larger story of women’s bodies in the US through the story of my body. #firsttimefilmmaker #femalefilmmakerfriday (is everyday for me) #feministartist #feministperformnaceartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnz0n1CFSaG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11bgv96tm0elz
