Look it’s me! the blonde in the green tank top looking very severe and proud to be here! #Repost @them with @get_repost ・・・ For our first ever New York City #Pride, we’re so excited to unveil our big project, #Queeroes2018. Comprised of the individuals who inspired us the most so far this year — #JanetMock, #TravonFree, #HayleyKiyoko, #JillSoloway, #NicolaFormichetti, and beyond — these are the modern-day queer heroes we so desperately need. We’ll be honoring some of them tonight. Thanks to @whotels and @healthysexual. Art by @artbycheyne

TRANSPARENT: Blacked out by Golden Globes

In support of the empowerment of women and the #TimesUp movement, television shows that had any sexual harassment allegations were entirely banned from participating in this years Golden Globes. Which on the surface seems like a step in the right direction. Except when examined closer, it is actually a step back to the 1950’s Blacklist.

Show creator Jill Soloway and her almost entire female/transgendered writing and directing staff were exclusively banned from the awards show. Not only was this completely broad in its washing of the system, they literally dismissed the hard work of the other 300+ crew members that worked on this show because of one actors alleged misconduct.

No matter how true or horrid these allegations may be, the last time I checked film and TV was a team effort. It has never been one actor or one director that creates the entire medium. It takes every crewmember on and off set to create the look and feel, and to ultimately hone in on a shows main theme.

Ironically Transparent’s main theme is of acceptance and equality: accepting gender, sexuality, and even past transgressions. It even dives deeper into tackling newfound territory like polyamorous relationships and ethnocentrism in its 4th and now possible last season due to the backlash of the allegation and the tidal wave of pressure coming from this movement.

A movement I consider to be blinded because it cannot see the cannibalization of their fellow female writer/directors that sat sidelined during this year’s Golden Globes. In the spirit of equality, they ban the one show that symbolizes just that. Made for women, by women, and unable to participate because of women’s empowerment. How equal is that? How empowering is it that they give this one male actor the power to negate the work of these talented women?

January 25 2017 - [⚠️: rape] by KAITLIN MENZA Depending on the quote atop your Art History 102 syllabus, the purpose of art can be defined many ways. We create to give meaning to human experience or to reflect our experiences outwardly. And so art must depict the deepest and most indelible moments of humanity: among them, birth and death, anguish and elation, war, peace, and rape. Artists portray rape in books and paintings, abstract sculptures and songs (lest we forget the moral quagmire behind “#BlurredLines”). One director is calling for an end to these depictions, or, at least, a pause from the people who typically do the depicting—that is, men. #JillSoloway, creator of Amazon’s critically acclaimed hit Transparent, spoke at a #Sundance panel on Sunday and kindly asked that men stop making movies about rape. “We get it, guys. You want us to stay inside, because you want us to be afraid we’re going to get raped. We get it!” Soloway said, according to Vulture. “Stop making movies and TV shows about rape. Let women make those movies if they want to.” The specific example of a film about rape from a decidedly male point of view that Soloway gave was #PaulVerhoeven’s #Elle, a critically acclaimed movie that garnered its lead actress, Isabelle Huppert, an Oscar nomination just yesterday for her role. The film opens on the violent rape of Huppert’s character and follows her attempts to track down her attacker. The word most often used to describe the film is titillating, which might be your first clue that a man directed and wrote it. While Soloway’s appeal may be the most blatant—she called it “a blanket ask to cis men”—she’s not the first person in #Hollywood to initiate this discussion. In fact, some of the outcry is coming from the audiences themselves, the same people who are taking to the streets to protest our new president’s history of (and boasts about) #sexualassault. #violenceagainstwomen#restinpeace#media#filmmaker#maleentitlement

Got to watch these amazing creators talk about the differences between writing for TV and film. Learned a lot from them and am hoping to use the great advice and information they have to fuel my creativity.
