In honor of Lesbian Visibility Week 🌈

Sue Maberry and I, 47 years ago—shortly after we found each other—at the All Girls Prom at the Woman’s Building, an event produced by the Lesbian Art Project.

A single moment, and a whole life grew from it.

Our story is one of many held inside ACTING LIKE WOMEN —from the Woman’s Building to the movements still unfolding today.
Stay tuned… there’s exciting news coming soon about the film. ✨

Palm Springs last week ☀️🌴✨—a little cinema, a little mischief, and a lot of beauty in the desert.

At the AmDocs Film Festival with my brilliant collaborator Anne Gauldin @annegauldin celebrating films, friendships, and those fleeting moments that remind you why we do this work.

1️⃣ With Teddy Grouya @amdocfilmfest (festival director) and—his words, not mine—two of his favorite filmmakers 💫
2️⃣ Red carpet joy with Daniel Talbott @danielcamerontalbottand Andrew Klaus-Vineyard @andrewklausvineyard for the premiere of Welcome to Tool Shed—a moving, fiercely alive tribute to queer elders who survived the AIDS pandemic, carrying memory, loss, and resilience forward.
3️⃣ With Nora Long @norajanelong and her gorgeous film The Flower Keeper—lyrical, intimate, and quietly powerful 🌸
4️⃣ With Anne and longtime friend (and festival champion) John Osborne ❤️

Debuting our new Tombolo shirts—Palm Springs perfection. Couldn’t resist that shop.

5️⃣ At Alice B., Gertie’s Salon & Bar—raising a glass with Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas (as one does in Palm Springs) 🍸
6️⃣ Yes, that is a pink martini. No regrets.
7️⃣ Morning at Les Cactus Hotel—breakfast with Anne, delivered in the cutest picnic basket (gone too fast to document!) 🌵 @annegauldin
8️⃣ Teddy Grouya with the AmDocs 2026 poster—his passion for documentary storytelling is what makes this festival feel so alive
9️⃣ Desert reflections at Les Cactus—light, color, and a moment to pause

A trip full of artists, elders, collaborators, and new memories—exactly the kind of energy I want to carry forward.

In the desert community of Joshua Tree, “America’s hairstorian,” @jeffrogeorge , created a whimsical roadside museum filled with more than 3,000 vintage beauty artifacts and a dream as colorful and unexpected as the desert itself.

🚨 Los Angeles Screening 4/2/26

🌈✨ OUR HEROES BLEED GLITTER
Modern queer films for today’s zeitgeist

Curated by Daniel Talbott, Andrew Klaus-Vineyard, and Felix Mack.

“A night of queercore, award-winning cinema from all over the globe, nestled in the beautiful screening room on Sunset Blvd in the heart of Hollywood — CineLounge Los Angeles.

Queercore filmmaking is a cultural and social movement that began in the mid-1980s as an offshoot of the punk subculture. It is driven by discontent with society in general, and specifically, society’s disapproval of the LGBTQ+ community.

Cinema — and making queer film — is at the forefront. Fuck excuses, fuck the word “no.” The only thing stopping us as filmmakers from making our films is our own lack of imagination and self-doubt. Don’t talk about it — get off the floor and fucking do it. Get out, make our films, and then share them with the world. Filmmaking, no matter what.

We want to make as many queer films as humanly possible before we drop dead — chubby, toothless, and bald — on set in our late nineties.”

I’m excited that Old Girl in a Tutu: Susan Rennie Disrupts Art History is part of this incredible program of queer shorts from around the world.

🚨 Los Angeles Screening 4/2/26

🌈✨ OUR HEROES BLEED GLITTER
Modern queer films for today’s zeitgeist

Curated by Daniel Talbott, Andrew Klaus-Vineyard, and Felix Mack.

“A night of queercore, award-winning cinema from all over the globe, nestled in the beautiful screening room on Sunset Blvd in the heart of Hollywood — CineLounge Los Angeles.

Queercore filmmaking is a cultural and social movement that began in the mid-1980s as an offshoot of the punk subculture. It is driven by discontent with society in general, and specifically, society’s disapproval of the LGBTQ+ community.

Cinema — and making queer film — is at the forefront. Fuck excuses, fuck the word “no.” The only thing stopping us as filmmakers from making our films is our own lack of imagination and self-doubt. Don’t talk about it — get off the floor and fucking do it. Get out, make our films, and then share them with the world. Filmmaking, no matter what.

We want to make as many queer films as humanly possible before we drop dead — chubby, toothless, and bald — on set in our late nineties.”

I’m excited that Old Girl in a Tutu: Susan Rennie Disrupts Art History is part of this incredible program of queer shorts from around the world.

🎭✨ Pat Oleszko: Fool Disclosure ✨

While in New York for the Athena Film Festival, I made a pilgrimage to see Pat Oleszko’s exhibition Fool Disclosure at SculptureCenter.

Pat has long been one of the great innovators of performance art — a master of satire, costume, and subversive humor. Seeing her work gathered in this exhibition was both inspiring and deeply moving. Her playful brilliance continues to challenge power structures while reminding us that humor can be a radical tool.

I was thrilled to run into Pat just as I was leaving. I don’t think we had ever met in person before, but I remember sharing images of her anti-nuclear work when Sisters Of Survival did slide presentations in Europe in the 1980s.

If you’re in New York, don’t miss this show! The basement is a wunderkammer of delights — including a lot of fun films.

✨🎬 Athena Film Festival, New York City 🎬✨

It was fabulous to be part of the Athena Film Festival, a festival dedicated to celebrating and uplifting women’s voices in film.

Even more special was experiencing it at the historic campus of Barnard College, an institution long committed to educating strong, visionary women. The energy of the festival — the films, conversations, and community — made it a truly inspiring few days.

I was thrilled to share Old Girl in a Tutu: Susan Rennie Disrupts Art History with such an engaged audience and to take part in a lively Q&A. Festivals like Athena remind me why these stories matter.

Slide by slide:

1️⃣ Athena Film Festival banner welcoming us to Barnard.
2️⃣ On the red carpet in NYC.
3️⃣ The only group photo I was able to take from the Old Girls in a Tutu crew at Athena Film Festival — proof that brilliance, rebellion, and style only get better with age 🩰💖
From Left, me, Susan Rennie, Paula Lumbard, Donna Deitch, Kirsten Grimstad, Honor Moore. @donna_deitch @laballetsusanrennie @paulalumbard @moorehonor
4️⃣-5️⃣ Q&A moments after the screening — wonderful questions and conversation.
6️⃣ With my amazing host Rebecca Israel — attempting a photo in the sharp New York sunshine! ☀️
7️⃣ With filmmaker Toby Perl Freilich, director of MAINTENANCE ARTIST, a film about artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles that I absolutely loved.
8️⃣ 2026 Athena Film Festival logo.
9️⃣A bathroom sign at Cubbyhole, a friendly neighborhood lesbian bar, that I visited for the first time. It was cozy and sweet. — NYC never disappoints.

Grateful to be part of a festival that celebrates women’s creativity, leadership, and storytelling. ❤️
