In celebration of PRIDE I’m happy to announce the official release of @birdermovie (AppleTV+/Amazon) winner of the Feature Jury prize at Melbourne Queer Film Festival. 
What an honor to act amongst this courageous cast, vulnerably expressing their energy in this unique thriller of consent gone awry. Thank you director @natedushku and writer @tummyami for your vision and care. (Fun fact: Nate and I grew up in the same corner of Boston, and reconnected on this movie for the first time since elementary school). 
Deep gratitude for the intimacy coordination team @brookemhaney, @heck.support and @professorpace for fostering a safe environment to explore erotic and violent themes.
And big love to my on-screen family, and the whole cast and crew for leaning in to the fun and summer camp of it all!!

🎬 Narrative Feature Film Highlight - To Move Is Friction

Can digital romance survive the awkward weight of real intimacy? After months of texting, two people meet face-to-face over dinner, forcing their curated online personas to collide with raw reality. Katya Yakubov directs a tense, razor-sharp exploration of modern connection, creative ego, and vulnerable human contact.

The Lunchbox feature in @sfchronicle :

Rachel Chavkin and the Lazours transform a quiet film romance into a wistful, emotionally delicate new musical about loneliness and fate, theater critic Lily Janiak writes.

Every workday in Mumbai, 200,000 hot lunches get delivered from home and commercial kitchens via a single network of workers called dabbawalas. Low-tech and efficient, the 136-year-old system is famous for never making mistakes.

Well, almost never.

Ritesh Batra’s 2013 film “The Lunchbox” envisioned one such slip: A young housewife hopes to rekindle her husband’s interest with a special meal, complete with a fragrant spice recommended by an auntie upstairs and arranged in a set of cylindrical stackable tins called a tiffin. Somehow, it gets mis-tagged, mis-sorted or just sent on the wrong train and bicycle journey to a widower on the verge of retirement. 

But as the film’s musical adaptation gears up for its world premiere at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Batra and the rest of the show’s creative team reframed the dabbawalas’ supposed error.
“It wasn’t a mistake,” choreographer Reshma Gajjar told the Chronicle during a group interview over — what else? — lunch. “It was divine intervention.”

But it’s not just a miracle, Batra added. It’s that the characters are primed to have a miracle happen to them.

“They are ready for either consigning themselves to the usual flames of their life, or ready for something different,” he said. “The story puts them in the position of choosing between those two things.”

The show, which begins previews Sunday, May 17, brings together Tony Award-winning director Rachel Chavkin (“Hadestown”), the Lazours — songwriting brothers Patrick and Daniel Lazour — along with Batra and Gajjar (who’s performed in “La La Land” and with Madonna). All felt drawn to what Gajjar described as the film’s “unexpected” love story.

❤️ A Valentine’s Day duet !

🔗 Learn this routine at home: Tutorial available now: link in bio!

The concept of this routine was to be a continuation of the couple from “Best Part”. 

If best part was the 1st date, this new duet is as if they moved in together & are making their house a home. 

They’ve spent all day painting the walls, ordered takeout & are winding down at the end of the day w/one of their favorite songs & a drink.

🥰 This routine is meant to be very simple so that any of you who are watching can learn it at home even if you’re not a professional dancer.

Stay tuned for more videos of students who attended!

👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏻 Real-life husband and wife @reshmagajjar
+ @giantmiles

What a beautiful show of simplicity, ease & connection ❤️

Thank you both for coming to class!!

Give it up for Reshma & Miles!
