It's today. The WORLD PREMIERE of the short film “Does Anybody Hear?” at the Arizona International Film Festival in Tucson! Featuring the incredible @olesia_shewchuk, who is also my co-producer.
Thanks to the cast and crew. We had a wonderful time that day in the forest. Love those trees!

Director's Statement - Liesl Lafferty
As a Vancouverite, I live amongst the giant trees of the Coastal temporal rainforest, one of the most important sources of oxygen on our planet. I walk in the forest a lot. I talk to the trees. A few years ago, I caught wind of the work of Suzanne Simard. Through her research, she discovered “plant communication and intelligence”. A Mother Tree can identify her saplings and send them extra water or carbon through her roots to an underground mycorrhizal fungal network. Her conclusion is “Trees talk to one another.” Inspired by her findings, I created this short film.

It’s a mini writers room where you get to work on your own script!

Time – 10:00am to 1:05pm PT/ 1:00pm to 4:05pm ET.
We pay attention to details… Listening to your pages read aloud allows you to hear whether or not your jokes are landing, your rhythms are building, or if you have too much exposition. With each week’s submission, your script is broken into sections allowing for a keen focus on the dramatic action of every beat. We look at the big picture, the little details and so much more!
“Liesl has a remarkable way of fostering an environment where everyone feels supported and motivated to push their boundaries. If you’re looking for a workshop that will challenge, inspire, and elevate your writing, I couldn’t recommend this one more.“ @paulina.carranzar

If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
