A retired weekly newsletter about cinema and culture with film recs, think pieces, plus TikTok obsessions, mindfulness techniques, and a healthy dose of optimism.
Hi! I'm a filmmaker and Sundance fellow. I also teach acting and screenwriting. I love Gilda Radner AND Jane Campion. Don't make me choose! I write about cinema and culture. More about me and my work at JessieBarr.com

A newsletter about writing & other things that make this life dearโfrom the poet, not the dame
A home for my creative writing, lightly edited and mostly written in workshops.
