Manifold was an incredible community project from 2019 to 2022 that thoroughly defined, to me, what intentional independent filmmaking can look like when underrepresented artists tell our own stories without waiting for permission. Through this project, I have met lifelong collaborators whom I look forward to continuing to work with. I hope that Miscellino will serve as the vehicle for continuing these artistic collaborations and partnerships.

Miscellino Productions is an independent production company based in Chicago and LA, dedicated to developing and producing genre-bending stories made for and by the "Other". Our stories rarely fit into one box, and we don't need to limit ourselves to these constraints. Many past collaborators on Manifold continue to be a part of these upcoming projects, so instead of an "end", this chapter feels like a new beginning for some exciting and new stories

We're at a point where storytelling feels uncertain yet more important than ever. I'm really excited to share some upcoming projects while showcasing some incredible artists on the rise, whom I'm deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to work with.

I'm also excited to grow with you all, and I appreciate your patience as I set this foundation for a new beginning. If you are interested in collaborating in any way, please fill out the form in the bio. I'd love to connect and talk more soon :)

Onward,
Adia Ivey @adiaivey

I am so excited to share that I've been selected to attend GLAAD's @glaad Black Queer Creative Summit this weekend! It's an honor to meet such incredible artists and changemakers while ideating on the future of media creation and how to forge that together. It's also just a joy to connect with more Black queer folks 🖤

The Black Queer Creative Summit is an event dedicated to empowering, educating, and training Black LGBTQ+ creatives across multiple sectors of the media industry. I'm also so grateful to @courtastr0phe @thisiselodie and @dig3x for being incredible sounding boards while I pushed through my artist identity crisis re-applying for this, thank you 🙏🏽 A few years back, I applied and was accepted, but I couldn't attend while in school at the time. So this feels like an incredible second chance to meet incredible people, learn, and grow while having clarity on the films I produce, write and direct. And also, hopefully, a chance to update my headshot.

“We are citizens of the most powerful country in the world, a country which stands upon the wrong side of every liberation struggle on earth.”
- Audrey Lorde

My loyalty will always be with the oppressed. The same systems of racial capitalism that enslaved and brutalizes Black people, murdered generations of indigenous people, fear mongers against immigrants of color and exploits cheap/free labor overseas is trying to justify racial cleansing in Gaza. History is watching us and our actions matter.

To be a citizen of America requires the responsibility to hold our politicians and leaders accountable for funding this genocide. To be an artist in America requires crafting our work with integrity and working against misinformation in our media. These past 19 days are only a fraction of the violence Palestine has suffered through these past 75 years. Whether that's calling your representative, speaking up in your industry and community, attending protests, sharing information, silence is not an option.

My loyalty will always be with the oppressed. The same systems of racial capitalism that enslaved and brutalizes Black people, murdered generations of indigenous people, fear mongers against immigrants of color and exploits cheap/free labor overseas is trying to justify racial cleansing in Gaza. History is watching us and our actions matter.

To be a citizen of America requires the responsibility to hold our politicians and leaders accountable for funding this genocide. To be an artist in America requires crafting our work with integrity and working against misinformation in our media. These past 19 days are only a fraction of the violence Palestine has suffered through these past 75 years. Whether that's calling your representative, speaking up in your industry and community, attending protests, sharing information, silence is not an option.

“We are citizens of the most powerful country in the world, a country which stands upon the wrong side of every liberation struggle on earth.”

Back to school 🎒 / August dump ☀️

These past 30 some days have been a whirlwind. Despite making plans for this transition since March, I could not have anticipated everything that has come up since. 6 months ago, I wouldn't have expected to begin film school amidst a WGA and SAG strike, but this labor movement is necessary and I'm grateful to be stepping into film during such a pivotal moment. I also wouldn't have believed you if you told me I'd experience a "hurriquake" within the same year. But here we are.

I love storytelling and hearing other people's stories and somehow conjuring these stories onto a screen. It's a privilege to be let into other people's worlds like that and I want to get better at what I do. There's such a thin line between hope and delusion though and whenever quakes of reality hit, I seriously question what I'm doing making movies at a time like this. I try to think those moments are important? Because it's crucial to remember that the current state of things isn't sustainable. Overworking and underpaying artists isn't sustainable. Neither is ignoring climate change or a public health crisis. And when I find myself swept into the infrastructural patterns of "going back to normal", I really need to remind myself that going back isn't an option, I need to choose how I want to go forward. I have an idea of what I want that future to look like and I want sharing and preserving our stories to be a part of that future. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to hone my skills with some incredible artists from all over the world while I figure out how to make that future more tangible.

I am hopeful for the future. August just gave me a gentle heads up that it's going to be a long road ahead and LA has a few potholes.

So much love for every old friend who reached out to share meals and new acquaintances open to connecting. I appreciate you fr 💛
