Yesterday, here in Yucatan, I met a Taiwanese fella , visiting Merida. I said do you know about INVISIBLE NATION? He face lit up. He said “WHY DO YOUUUU know about the film?” I told him. “He said that is amazing. We often think no one cares. It’s an amazing film. There is a ‘wave of discussion’ running through my country.” Vanessa, Ted - you did that . He was emotional and said I can’t believe anyone is even thinking about my beloved
And that is the real reason we do this whole cinema thing right? To connect all of our hearts and minds. Compassion. Empathy. Discovery. Understanding. And all of those things are fun. And give us a reason.
I mentioned Strawberry Mansion & the No Budge platform before, but another film just occurred to me:
Anchorage -- $54k budget, and pulled off a non-dependently produced *national* theatrical distribution tour. A really cool story. They were covered on No Film School so you can check out more here: https://nofilmschool.com/anchorage-film
Also, congrats! And thanks for your generous energy to this big group project. You offer a beautiful, unifying force that means so much to so many. xx

Taiwan all the way in Yucatan. NonDe define.

May it be so.
I was really surprised to see that you had no less than four bylines in one issue!
Love the conversation happening here. Very inspiring for me as a filmmaker myself!

So cool Ted. Thank you, and congratulations 🚀
I adore your passion. I adore your work. Keep going, Ted. ❤️
This is awesome. Wondering what your thoughts are on Yancey Strickland’s A-Corp initiative? Feels very at home in this dialogue to me….
I had the same thought! The Venn diagram between the two is... a circle?!
