Harshest Case of Winter Blues

What a brutal winter. Sudden endings I didn’t expect, in spaces I loved and in the shape of what I thought my life was becoming.

The world feels so loud with sadness too. I feel like everyone is feeling everything all at once, all of the time. Grateful for the ones who have stayed close, no matter the distance. Those who hold space and don’t disappear when things get hard.

I am still here. Still choosing to take risks, make new connections, step into new work, stay open to life and loving with my whole battered little heart.

Standby, I will be my funny and whimsical self again very soon.

SXSW x Collider

Had a whirlwind weekend filming interviews with the Collider crew. Thanks to Lu for inviting me to join the team. We consumed a ton of Tex Mex and BBQ, met some lovely celebrities and wandered around Austin.

Always enjoy spending time with fellow cinematographers and filmmaking friends throughout festival season. So proud of my fellow Canadians Aisha, Lauren, Mal and Nic premiering their films at SXSW!

Coffee House Hours turned two years old, so I decided to throw a big party to celebrate and over a hundred of you showed up!

Huge thanks to Sorry Studio for hosting, Metanoia Cafe for providing coffee and pastries, Amanda Pye for offering live poetry writings and our two DJs Nic Altobelli and Abe Wynen for spinning great tunes all afternoon. Deeply appreciate those that volunteered their time and the major support from Nicole De Khors and Luke Sobota.

I am so proud of being able to create a space for our local film industry not only grow but thrive into a group of genuine and kind creatives uplifting each other. Thank you to every cafe and studio that hosted us throughout the past couple years and to everyone that show up to build this community together.

See you at the next session!

Big Love @stina

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. 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. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. 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.
