Patrisse Cullors Instagram – I’m so grateful I was able to work on this very special film with the @laemissary a group of young people who have been tasked with ending youth homelessness in Los Angeles. @whitneyskauge is an incredible director and such an empathetic and wise human being. They captured our characters with such grace and compassion.
So grateful for @seattlefilmfestival and @eo.flix for premiering this project!
Close to home… is out now and you can watch it until September 7th on @eo.flix !!!
We will have community screenings in LA very soon. Please read the wonderful @apnews article written by @aaronlmorrison.
Lastly, I grew up with a significant amount of instability. And as a teenager I was an unhoused queer youth. This short doc is a love letter to my younger self.
It’s been an honor to work on my art full time and share it with the world. More to come.
