Ever heard someone say "protest doesn't change anything"? Brazil and Serbia just proved them wrong. 🇧🇷🇷🇸

Working with Walter Koenig really showed how curious he was about art. He acted in my third movie, the 2006 indie "Mad Cowgirl," and we later shared the screen in "Blue Dream (2013). I grew up a massive fan of his, so getting to work with him was a huge deal for me. Rest in Peace to a true legend.
