PLAY HARD is screening at one of my favorite theaters, hosted by some of my favorite people ✨ Join us at the Directors Guild of America for the @filmindependent Artist Development Showcase! It’s a free event with a reception to follow — trust me, you’ll want to be there.

I met some of my most cherished collaborators through Film Independent, so it’s an honor to return with a film that means the world to me.

They’ll also be presenting this year’s Changemaker Awards to the extraordinarily talented @andrewahnfilms, @jomofray, and @at_edmonds — huge congrats to you all!

RSVP for tickets in my bio 🥁

The spot for “It Starts With a Follow” for TikTok Shop just went live— and I couldn’t be prouder. This campaign was the definition of collaboration with an outstanding team that I truly enjoy working with every time.

From the moment you came into this world, I knew life would never be the same. From daycare drop-offs and summer camps to late nights editing college essays...and now this. Watching you walk across that stage was indescribable. I couldn’t be prouder of the woman you’ve become, and I can’t wait to see what this next chapter holds.

Love you long time. by @karajose
