Well, even someone my age can use TikTok to help promote the @shawnafoundation.bsky.social and the Shawna Shea Film Festival!

Our experimental short CREATION is an official selection of the Umbria Underground Film Festival. It explores the process of creation using clips of footage that I've shot but hit the editing floor. Pieced together they become a surreal and absurd meditation on creating.

Day Two of the Conclave and three votes already in. No Pope yet. In honor of this day here is our horror short Ave Maria which won the Audience Award at the 2013 Interiora Horror Fest in Rome, Italy. Kind of fitting for today's activities in the city. vimeo.com/68073827

In honor of Day One of the Conclave, here is a video of my one man show "Catholic (Surviving Abuse & Other Dead End Roads)" which opened 20 years ago in New York at the Bowery Poetry Club. vimeo.com/284661517

Happy May Day!!!

That's to @worcestermagazine.bsky.social for the great coverage of the @shawnafoundation.bsky.social Mass Indie Film Festival.

Don’t tell anyone but 95% of the Dems in Congress are just as bad as Schumer. It’s all about the $$$$

Meanwhile on Twitter.

Highly disappointed that my rep @repmoskowitz.bsky.social is one the 10 spineless sycophants who voted to censure Rep Al Green. Enablers, all 10 of you.

Yup.... that sums it up perfectly. 😕

You need to follow Chris on Substack!!!

The Democratic party is currently lead by the most ineffectual bunch of losers I’ve ever seen. James Carville says it’s time to “play dead.” Hakeem Jeffries is on a book tour. Chuck Schumer is so uninspiring it’s a joke. They don’t care about winning, they care about enriching themselves.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.
