to answer this question and give you a little insight on indie filmmaking.
#arianddantemovie
is an indie film, usually most indie films don’t immediately have a distributor. like ours, so we’re going to TIFF with the hope that we’ll sell the movie to a distributor. 🪡 +
in needs to be said, a movie about two brown boys, directed by a latina trans woman in hollywood was by no means an easy journey. it was painful, exhausting, compromising but all of you who this story means so much to was one of the biggest driving forces behind it. some of you
fact: the original cut of the film with everything in it, the entirety of my screenplay was 2 hrs 47 mins - yes a lot of scarifies were made. deleted scenes or directors cut one day. 🥹
when we do, we’ll know a release date, have a trailer, poster. which i know you’re all anxious to have. so, bombarded your favorite streamer/distributor with your need to have this movie exist world wide. ie. netflix, A24, neon, amazon, etc.
🥰😍😘
they cannot!!!! the entire industry is on strike. they’ve both reached out, they wish they could…i love them both and this whole cast. keep standing in love y’all.

I really, really liked the film adaptation of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, based on one of my favorite books and the rare movie that could have been a half hour longer.
will love it (i hope) and some of you will have a lot to say. but please know, i put my entire heart into it. it’s a story about love, so let’s all lead with that first and foremost.

i don’t own pearls to clutch. because i’m an indie filmmaker that’s been struggling to make their first movie and now their second, if there ever comes. but the relies on the support of people like you.

And if people can’t afford it? Not everyone can. Also there’s countries it’s illegal. So don’t clutch your pearls and demand people have to do things the way you want

Hi Aitch! I know this is a dumb question... but thought I'd ask. Any info on a distributor? Just really hoping to get a chance to see this film. I know you put so much time and love into it!
@aitchalberto
i only read the headline at first & was disappointed since i'm in the UK, but read on and had the shock of my LIFE when i realised the whole article isn't told through the title only and you're all working on international release!!!!
Dear readers, I have no information regarding when the film will be released outside of the US. I am not always informed about these matters nor do I have any say. I ask you to be patient but rest assured the film is being released internationally. I send ❤️ & 2 cats.
that genuinely love this story, because it’s rare for stories like this to get made by filmmakers like me. which makes your support even more valuable…
happy latino/a/e/x month.
let’s do this, make room.
refuse to let my identity hold me back, instead it proudly motivates me. you matter, never forget that!

Not sure if that’s standard practice or intentional, but nonetheless, language is used as an interesting storytelling device in the movie, much like it was in the books, with its careful navigation of convos about ethnicity and the authentic portrayal of characters.
i don’t have a problem, you’re misreading what i wrote. but i’ve worked for 8 years for this moment and won’t let anyone muddy that.
we’re on the same team.

i’m so sorry, i have no idea about distribution. honestly, i’m pretty left out of that. sometimes i find out release,
festivals, etc. with all of you. it’s an odd system. but, maybe
@BlueFox_Ent
can help.
when we premiere in the UK i want you to be my personal guest. if you’d like. internet misunderstandings are not what we need right now. if you’re down….💘
