In October, I had the wonderful experience of being invited to a residency at Faberllull Olot in Spain, where I had the opportunity to work on one of my current writing projects for a week, while enjoying the scenery of the nearby volcanoes and Medieval villages–not to mention plenty of delicious Catalan cuisine. In addition to getting to know the other fascinating artists and activists in my cohort, I was also invited to give a talk at the Escola Oficial d’Idiomes (Official School of Languages) in Olot about changes that have taken place in the film industry during the 21st century so far. I loved being in this beautiful part of Catalonia and having the chance to interact with the community. Thank you to Pepa Pasamón and everyone at Faberllull Olot, as well as to Immaculada Cristina Roura and everyone at EOI, for putting together this phenomenal experience!

And while I was in Spain, an awesome profile of me came out in Shoutout LA. Thanks to Mike Bhand for organizing the interview!
