Director Bruce LaBruce’s queer comedy fantasy “Saint-Narcisse,” penned by our very own Martin Girard, has been sold by the Brussels-based company Best Friend Forever to the U.S., along with a string of other key territories.
Letter of Greetings from Jordan Miller
Sending love, merriments, strong immunity, and hopeful energy for the shift towards all-around radder times. I can’t help thinking that a change in leadership and a seemingly-scientifically-cool vaccine feel like steps in the right direction.
2020 was no doubt BS and mighty rough, although as I pride myself in being an “eternal optimist” like my pops, I find myself looking at the silver linings. We stood up for human rights. The youth sacrificed their own comforts to protect their elders. We broke down borders banded together as a planet.
One of my standout moments was helping plan the Paddle for Unity, a gathering in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. After a quick three days of promotion, nearly five thousand people stood in pin-drop silence, honoring George, Breonna, and the countless Black lives we’ve needlessly lost to police brutality. The presence and respect on the beach was electric and undeniable.
SO – where do we go from here? I personally believe we need to fight the GREED pandemic by GIVING. We need to shift our narrative of The American Dream away from getting rich AF and living large like a rock superstar to becoming giving AF and collectively working towards providing basic needs for those who don’t have them.
I feel honored to be a part of Kindhumans – A company founded by friends, on the core values of gathering conscious community, championing solutions and reinventing our commerce system, and always giving. For the last two years I’ve been working as the Creative Director of Media. Watching our co-founders Justin and Suzi give graciously, over-and-again, and hearing their refreshing perspectives on making the world kinder has been eye-opening and massively inspirational.
