POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Not sure what film to watch tonight? I recommend Reality, currently streaming for free on Channel 4. A dramatisation of the transcript of the arrest of Reality Winner, who was accused of leaking NSA secrets in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election, the film flips between the mundane and the fantastical as it blips characters out of shot when we reach the transcript's redacted text. A real life story unlike any you've seen before. Let me know what you think in the comments! #indiecinema #independentcinema #cinephile

“When you get access to this kind of [studio] space with the vibes that it has, it feels like we can really hear the music, we can let the ideas sit—it’s almost like this neutral space, but there’s just such good energy. We really could hear and think through, out loud, this conceptual stuff we’re talking about musically.” —Tina Satter, Spring 2026 Residency Artist

ABOUT TINA:
Tina Satter @halfstraddle is an American filmmaker, playwright, and director based in New York City.

In the fall of 2019, she made her Off Broadway debut as a conceiver and director of Is This a Room at the Vineyard Theatre. The play moved to Broadway in 2021. Satter directed the film Reality, starring Sydney Sweeney, a cinematic adaptation of Is This a Room, for HBO.
