So, it’s been a while. In fact, it’s been so long, I’m not sure I remember how to do this.
Some of you have reached out to me and asked what’s going on. Is Rebel Heart Film still a thing? Because Chris and I haven’t taught a workshop in many months or even planned one. I haven’t written any blogs, have rarely posted on our Facebook page, tweeted more about politics than films. For the last six months, I’ve more or less disappeared from the Rebel Heart world.

A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Alex Ferrari reached out and asked if I’d be up for doing an interview for his podcast at Indie Film Hustle.

So thrilled to share that Obselidia, my first film, will be screening at the Bug Theater in Denver on Saturday as part of the Colorado Independent Women of Film Festival.
When they reached out to me and asked if I would like to share one of my films there, I was absolutely honored. Thrilled to be considered a Colorado filmmaker!
I hesitated about which film we should share; but as my very first screening in my new home state, it felt appropriate that we show Obselidia. Like your first love or your first kiss, no matter how long I live, there will never be another film like it for me. This movie is like my heart, it’s very pure and innocent, and I will love it forever.
If you’re in Denver, please come and see it, or if you’ve already seen it, please tell your friends.
I look forward to seeing you there!

I’m writing this in Denver, Colorado, my new home.
I lived in LA for ten years. I went there because a script I wrote got optioned and I stayed to do the rewrite. I remember when I arrived in LA how I loved overhearing people talk about movies at every table in every restaurant, how it made me feel like I’d found my home when everyone in any given café seemed to be working on their scripts and hustling to get their films made, just as I was. I felt like I was at the Cannes film festival…but it went on all year! I loved it. I did not however plan to stay; I fully intended to return to my life in Barcelona, Spain after delivering my script.
