The Long Game- It’s A Review. Of A Film. I sat on this review for a while. I was hoping to find this with audio description, as I did think there was a little something in this sports drama. The movie centers around a veteran (Hernandez), who takes a job teaching Latino boys in Texas how to play golf, fighting a racist system that sees these boys only as “the help” or caddies. They don’t want these boys playing the sport, and they really don’t even want the decorated Latino veteran plaing either. If it wasn’t for his friendship with … Continue reading The Long Game

As I wind down, I wanted to give one last nugget. One of my friends, who I don’t get to see too often, but we both were performing at this event, told me after (knowing all the self doubt I had going into this), that I “deserve to take up space”, whether on stage, or here, or just anywhere, and to not be afraid to do so. I got a speech on underrepresented voices from my gay latino performer friend, and I thought the simplicity of saying that I deserve to take up space, and not to get too inside … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 12/07/24

Following up on my thoughts from yesterday, after having a second performance, I want to add that I deeply appreciate when people come up to me and give me their name as a reminder, instead of hoping on a wing and a prayer that their voice I haven’t heard in 10 years is engrained in me so i immediately just recognize them, which is rarely ever the case. Some people do have such specific voices, but not everyone. Then, i don’t have to go through the “Who are you?”, or keep navigating through an odd conversation that feels like 20 … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 12/06/24

I had the opportunity on the 5th to rejoin the performing world, something I had not really done much of at all since losing my eyesight. The show continues its performances tonight and tomorrow, which is a little why my time is truncated, but unrelated to any audio description today, I wanted to first acknowledge that I’ve been going through a lot of heavy emotions about this, as I hadn’t done this in so long, I wasn’t even sure what kind of accessibility I needed for myself. Like, what would make me feel OK? And, part of it is that … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 12/05/24

I don’t have a single show on here I haven’t talked about before, so instead of a review, since I’m a Spirit Awards voter, here are a few things that excited me from the batch of nominations announced yesterday for the 40th annual Independent Spirit Awards: … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 12/04/24

Movies: Nowhere Special (Screener) no audio description Interior Chinatown finished, with audio description. Maybe it was just a glitch in the matrix. But, I did enjoy what was there, and it really is a quirky show unlike anything else on right now. But I feel like if I don’t talk about Skeleton Crew, I’d be burying the lead. Disney … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 12/03/24

Podcasts: None YouTube: None Movies Watched: Sugarcane (Screener) No Audio Description So bizarre that the 9th episode for Interior Chinatown didn’t have AD. The first 8 did. I’m sure it is a glitch, but maybe they’re doing what Peacock did with Fight Night and just giving up before the end. very odd watching an episode of a highly stylized show without audio description, which is why I still … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 12/01/24
