Bonjour, Mes Amis! I’m just back from French class and shortly off to ballet, but first a quick update on all things Deviant. It’s been an INSANELY busy summer with festival fun, writing, accolades, pre-production and teaching. Plus, tired of having no time for a personal life, I’ve just read FLOW by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and finally found the key to squeezing more hours into the day (hence the French and ballet). It’s a revelation! Seriously, read it. You will never waste another precious second. Read the rest of this entry »
Just like Sheila E., Devi wants to live the glamorous life. She’s not quite there yet. In the meantime, here’s where she’s at…

Miranda July blew my mind last night. I strongly recommend that everybody who enjoys a brilliant existential mindbend to go see her amazing, endlessly thought-provoking new film THE FUTURE. However, be sure to see it with intelligent people and plan for discussion time afterwards or your head may explode. Read the rest of this entry »

Live from Comic-Con & Distribution!
July 24th, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
Wow! This may just be our best Comic-Con ever. It’s our fourth time to screen here and, admittedly, I came with mixed feelings. It’s such a madhouse and I have so much work piling up (not to mention pending jury duty next week – d’oh!). I wasn’t sure it was the best choice to come, but that changed the moment we arrived. Despite the hundred thousand+ people, it seemed every time I turned around, I ran into an old friend. Old connections were renewed and new connections felt like old friends in an instant. Oh, right – THIS is the magic of Comic-Con. DOLORES enjoyed her best screening yet Friday night. The most enthusiastic applause erupted on the last frame of the film and Q&A was too fun. Such great response from the crowd and we had lines of folks wanting to talk to us after. People were shocked by our budget, convinced it was far higher. We promoted filmmaking in the Midwest with heartfelt pride. Read the rest of this entry »
