@ahurtlikeminefilm is screening tomorrow at the CineSol Film Festival — my hometown festival!

Coming home with this film, one rooted in family, healing, and the echoes of where we come from, means more than I can say. Thank you, @cinesolfilmfestival for seeing me from the beginning and continuing to champion artists from the Valley.

What a gift to create and share story with community and in community. These labors of love are worth every second, and I’m so honored to be held by such an incredible system reinforced and grounded in deep love and purpose. MORE TO COME! But even if that isn’t the case, I will cherish this precious moment for all time. by @kaheathehuman

Today, A Hurt Like Mine screens at #OutfestNEXT at 12PM as part of the “Communing with the Past” shorts block — a film about the power of finding your voice through community, born from the very one that raised me.

@outfest has always been home. From first volunteering in 2015 to my continued work today, each year has deepened my connection to the people who make this possible — the ones who build, welcome, and hold space for queer stories to thrive. Now, as we rebuild together, we could use your support and presence.

There’s not a moment in my career where Outfest isn’t present: in the mentors who believed in me, the friends who stay up late to make the seemingly impossible possible, and the artists who share their truths and remind me why we do this. Hope to see you there. 🌈🎬 taken in Look Cinemas by @kaheathehuman
