Set in 1970s Georgia, Redlining The Film follows a Black family and a white family who share the same property. When the parents pass away, one question changes everything: Who inherits the house and why?

The film explores #GenerationalWealth, race, family, and the lasting impact of inequality. I’m incredibly proud that our little film has already received several Best Short Film #awards in Europe, as well as a Best LGBTQ+ Ensemble Award here in the United States. #blacklivesmatter #lgbtqia

This week, if you happen to be in Germany in Berlin, to be exact my film Redlining The Film will be screening July 10th at the International Film Festival Germany. We’re also nominated for Best International Short Film, so fingers crossed. I’m truly grateful and a little amazed by the response this “little film that could” continues to receive. Thank you to everyone who has supported it, shared it, watched it, or believed in it along the way. And I’ll keep saying this to every artist out there: don’t wait for permission to create! #filmmaker #blacklivesmatter #proudjew #workingactor #FairHousing #love

I’m very pleased to share that Redlining The Film, a film I co-wrote with Lee Garlington, co-produced with Steve Campbell, co-starred, and directed, has been selected for two film festivals Tarzana International and the Indiewood Hollywood in Los Angeles and one in Palm Springs Cinema Diverse.

Whenever I see someone receive an award or have their work chosen for a festival, I always understand the instinct to name every person who helped bring that vision to life. Because the truth is, you do not make a film by yourself. You make it with your community.

I have often thought of myself as a lone wolf in this business, but working on REDLINING reminded me that I am surrounded by talented, generous, deeply committed artists who want to work at a higher level and lift one another up. Their support has meant more to me than I can properly express, and I will continue to support them in return.

To have this story recognized internationally is deeply meaningful to all of us who brought the film to life. We could not be more honored by this award, and we are truly #grateful for the support and recognition from across the pond.

Thank you to the CANNET International Film Festival for embracing REDLINING and helping shine a light on this important story.

Last night, I had the privilege of being at the Museum of Tolerance to support my dearest friend producer Martine Melloul at the screening of Butterfly an Oscar-nominated short film by the extraordinary Florence Miailhe and Ron Dyens. A man swims. And as he moves through the water, a whole life rises to the surface. From the innocence of childhood to the weight of manhood, every memory tied to the sea. An Olympic gold medalist. A Holocaust survivor. One body. Immeasurable depths. I and predicting it will win the Oscar for Short Animated Film!

I had seen it before, and yet watching it again in that room, in that building, I felt it differently. There's something almost sacred about a story that holds both triumph and trauma without asking you to choose which matters more.

This is why art exists. To make us remember what we might otherwise forget that every person who has ever moved through this world carried an entire ocean inside them.

Congratulations to Martine, Florence, Ron, and everyone who brought Butterfly to life. This work matters. Deeply.
