*Not really looking like a cop.

In 1944 the Oscars were held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, and next month the short film Labor+Justice will premiere at the same location! It’s a wonderful film written and directed by Sarah Joy Byington, and I’m proud to be among the wonderful cast.

Please consider donating to the production’s finishing fund: https://bit.ly/3KgbHj1

The screening will be at the HollyShorts Film Festival, making it eligible for an Oscar nomination!
