I have dreamt of this moment for 9 years. Over the past almost decade my priorities have shifted and evolved. I have never fought so hard for anything in my life. The tears, the setbacks, the sacrifices, the closed doors, the immense struggle to get a film made is another story in itself. Since I released girls like girls in 2015, I’ve made a vow to myself and to you all to do everything in my power to create hopeful queer content at the largest scale possible. The road map has never been clear, I’ve just kept believing that if I kept trying, that one day a road could be paved. We made it. It’s here. From a song, to a music video, to a book, to a feature film. WE DID IT. We will continue to create space and ignite hope. Thank you to every collaborator and friend who has helped me in anyway from the inception of this music video and beyond. Thank you kiyokians from the bottom of my heart. For showing up for me, reminding me I’m not alone. I’m so overwhelmed I finally get to share this news with you and make this film come to life. Thank you to my team, Marc Platt and Focus Features for believing in me, us and championing this story. We keep climbing!!!! AH!

This past month has brought so much anxiety and worry for the future, it’s been hard to figure out how to work through it all. Been really focusing on identifying the simple things in life that can bring me joy and refuel my cup. Food. Community. Fresh air. Cinema. Feeling grateful for the people in my life and the people I have yet to meet who continue to inspire and encourage our dreams. I hope you can find time to give back to your body and mind, to nurture your mental health. You deserve it and we need you. 🩵

2024 – the year things finally started to align. I just want to thank you all for still being here with me. I was immensely offline this year but for a good cause. I finally got to direct the movie of our dreams and I cannot wait to share the entire journey with you all. I’ve put my heart and soul into this…we have so much to catch up on. What I will say is for the first time in as long as I can remember, my body feels at ease. I’m exactly where I need to be. I’ve tried so many things for my health and my creative expression that has caused a sense of friction and pain. I kept trying and kept going. Unlocking new tools. Unlocking a sense of confidence I’ve missed. I hope you know whatever you are striving for and working towards is waiting for you on the other side. It’s yours. Never stop believing in yourself. You matter. 2025 here we gooo ✨

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS. Whatever you are chasing, keep going. If it hasn’t been done before, it just means it hasn’t been done yet. Sometimes it takes longer than you think, but stay the course. Anything is possible. 9 years later….
