Hey all!!

Last week we took a pleasant break from the film making posts and we're still kind veering off a bit, but it actually also does relate... confused? Me too, LOL. Anyway, this week I want to share about a recent movie that has made headlines, but not for the reasons we all had kinda hoped.

- JUMPS BACK A BIT -
