PRIDE MONTH! Have you wondered what Curb Your Enthusiasm would look like from the perspective of a 20-something-year-old girl? No, I’m not talking about Eighty-Sixed, the short webseries from 2017, by Larry David’s daughter, Cazzie David. Shiva Baby packs all the neurotic moments of the aforementioned shows with the lived experiences of what it is like to be the Bisexual daughter of East-Coast Jews. Expanded from a 2018 short film of the same name, the narrative feature film allows further exploration of our main character, Danielle, her identity, and her own quest for autonomy as a sex worker who is both Jewish and queer.

Half Waif Interview: A Four-Part Music Video Series Rich with Natural Magic & Botanical Warriors -- READ: bit.ly/redefinenandi Stitching together “sparkles of ideas,” musician Nandi Rose aka Half Waif and director Kenna Hynes turned one-off creative visions into a four-part video series full of ambitious sequences. Proving their “magical and effortless” collaborative relationship, their team has created a narrative rich with “botanical warriors,” motorcycle rides through lush scenery, and subtle visual effects that seem to put the quest for a golden flower into hallowed space. Catch a sneak peek behind-the-scenes as Rose and Hynes discuss this suite of short films connected to Half Waif’s 2021 record, Mythopoetics, out in July 2021 on ANTI-. For those who like what they see, rest assured: these are teasers for a full-length feature film they plan on making someday. #SeattleFilm #SeattleFilms #SeattleFilmmaker #NWFF #NWFilmForum #NWFilms #NWFilmmakers #NWFilmmaker #SeattleFilmmakers #FilmEducation #FilmWorkshop @antirecords @halfwaif #Mythopoetics @kennahynes

The recent attention paid to Africa’s contemporary electronic culture has long been overdue. And while there are many reasons for the heightened interest, none may be more responsible than Nyege Nyege, both the collective and the festival. In particular, the opportunities brought by Nyege Nyege’s wide scope of collaboration has allowed African producers to reach the international consciousness.⠀ ⠀ Don Zilla is one of those beneficiaries. Having managed Kampala, Uganda’s Boutiq Studio since 2016, the native Ugandan is a key member of the Nyege Nyege operation. He’s played every festival since its inception. He’s forged relationships with visiting artists, enough so to release remixes on PAN and perform at CTM. His debut album, Ekizikiza Mubwengula, represents the culmination of these recent experiences, a global effort with an African foundation.⠀ ⠀ FULL REVIEW by @therealhojo: http://bit.ly/redefinedonzilla⠀ ⠀⠀ @nyegenyege @nyegenyegefest @donzillalion @boutiq_studio #MusicCritic #MusicJournalism #MusicCoverage #MusicReview #MusicReviews #MusicJournalist #Electronic #Kampala #UgandanMusic #UgandaMusic #BoutiqStudio #AlbumReview #AlbumReviews #UgandanMusician #UgandanMusicians
