“The poet is somebody who feels, and who expresses *their feelings through words. This may sound easy. It isn’t. A lot of people think or believe or know they feel — but that’s thinking or believing or knowing; not feeling. And poetry is feeling — not knowing or believing or thinking. Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself. To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.“ #eecummings Sending love to the poets who lead us home to ourselves, ever seeking, sometimes finding, but who claim no authority on the path.
Hello from Rainbow Mountain in Iceland! Thank you so much to everyone who streamed, bought, rated, and reviewed In Her Name last week! If you haven’t yet please do. There is still time to get your limited edition Blu-Ray @amazon which includes our making of doc. Visit @cheshiremoonproductions for the options to buy (link in bio). It makes me so happy to see your heartfelt comments and reviews. None of this happens without your love and support of the film. 💫
I was 20 years old when I first arrived in Los Angeles not knowing anyone. I’d never met @_jacqueline_michelle or @odxssarae but they let me crash on their couch until I found my own place… let me tag along with them to celebrity parties… To this day you are my heroes. Thank you for this memory Jacquie! I love that my T-shirt says “only the strong survive.” I had no idea…
Where life meets the dream…

Welcome to #CherryPicks #DirectorDiaries, where we talk to female & non-binary directors from across the industry. Today, we’re hearing from Sarah Carter, the writer, director and producer of #InHerName, which was just released with Tribeca Films. She discusses her advice for aspiring directors, the challenges of moving from acting to directing, her film influences, and much more! @sarah_carter_oxox #sarahcarter #inhernamefilm #inhernamemovie #cheshiremoonproductions #tribecafilms #femalefilmmaker #femaledirector #womeninfilm #womenincinema #inspiringwomen #womeninfilmandtv #womeninfilmmaking #newmovies2024 #filmcritic #moviereview #cinematic #cinephileclub #cinephilecommunity #moviewatchlist #movielover #filmbuff
I spent the first half of my career being whatever those with money wanted me to be, for them… a character… in their show… they owned my time, my sleep, my likeness, my voice, and my instincts in exchange for money… enough money to give me choices and I chose my freedom and foundation. For years I invested in my own art, my own home, my community of dear and true friends and collaborators, but slyly. I quietly built inner security and outer security, and gently turned the ship around from pursuing external validation to searching for deep alignment with my soul. What truly brings me joy? Still today, there is a part of me that feels I have to keep up appearances in order to survive. Even now as a writer, director, producer, I have to make sure my agents, managers, lawyers, fans, collaborators and investors continue to see me as a commodity. Still, I feel I have to prioritize meetings, auditions, and opportunities for hire above all else. I have to pay my dues, commissions of up to 40% sometimes. But finally, thanks to my first film being out in the world… a pure vision manifest… an answer to no one but the call… a film that holds indescribable magic and a story the moves and connects people with their humanity… art… I feel more responsible than ever to my understanding of what it takes to be an artist… and to value it. In Her Name is a liberation story. It was the first time in my life I felt clear and brave enough to go all in and risk prioritizing my faith in art. My company @cheshiremoonproductions is committed to creating works that reflect the journey home to self and soul. The creations and experiences provided serve to be a reminder of who we all are uniquely and as a whole… and to invest in genius artists who have been outcasted to both succeed and feel less alone. The road ahead is long, but after decades of seeking, this film is my first work of art that has achieved substantial results outside of industry ownership… even our distribution deal @tribeca @giant_pictures allowed me to maintain full rights which is unheard of. The In Her Name blu-Ray @amazonprime includes more on the making of story. Words can’t thank you enough.
