"BLACKFACE: the story of nobody" is a feature film about a Black man who performs in blackface in 1918 who gets a breathtaking opportunity to play Shakespeare's Hamlet on Broadway (without blackface).
With so many intense conversations surrounding blackface - its painful origin, its modern implications and the open wounds that still exist in this country surrounding race and difference – the time couldn’t be more potent for BLACKFACE: the story of nobody to go from script to screen.
After working on the script for the last five years, I appreciate all of these intense conversations because it allows for more opportunities to listen and to grow.
Thank you for your support and encouragement as I see this dream of mine realized... and as we collectively tell a story of what is possible and what exists within us all - unlimited magnificence. - Cajardo

Saved for months before I booked my tickets last December to fly across the world to watch my favourite team play. I was supposed to leave tomorrow. Left passport on the side table and my dog got a hold of it. TIL you will be denied boarding even with the smallest tear in your passport.
This man got a ticket for not riding in the bike lane, so he made a video of him crashing into things in the bike lane. youtu.be/bzE-IMaegzQ
Due to poor performance of Morton, I'd want to use my 25th man opportunity on SP. From stat's aspect, once Lester's GI > 68, he'll be better than Nola. However, considering PRIME card never gets bad condition, and I don't need to use any GI reset ticket and SCT on Nola. Who will be my better choice? reddit.com/gallery/r817lw

MRW I can't afford tickets to The Blue Man Group so I go see some tribute band and their air drum act is horrible so I decide to go home but I can't leave because I'm tied to the ceiling

TIL that a man, Zhan, did not want to pay for a ticket to get into the zoo. Instead of buying a ticket, like his family did, he decided to scale a wall to get in. He ended up in a tiger enclosure and was promptly mauled to death while onlookers watched and recorded video of it. telegraph.co.uk/news/2017…

Been practicing self control and have made myself strictly stick to only free play tickets or Tapjoy earned TP. No exceptions. This is probably the 4th time today I had to leave a prize in winning position because I ran out of TP. Sigh. Back to grinding TP. Congrats to the player after me! v.redd.it/750w8mita5r41
Just been harassed by a man in a blue shirt at Termini. He helped us validate a ticket and then wouldn't leave us alone. Was he an official?
We only arrived last night, but this man holding a guide asked us if we had validated our tickets, and then put them in a machine. After this he kept standing next to us and made us feel very uncomfortable. We went to a shop and he followed us. Is this some strange scam? Thank you!
French soldiers shooting at something. Or pretending to shoot at something. Since this clip seems to be from a very early film reel in summer 1914. When military tactics were quite different than 1918 - and so were the ideas how to use film for propaganda.
TIL of a man that protects the world's rarest colors, some being poisonous, and some very beautiful. One of the colors is a yellow pigment originating from dried cow urine where they were only fed mango leaves. youtu.be/F8aVfqDKx1U

I have tickets to one of the shows that murr’s supposed to be at today, based off what I’ve seen, it appears they pretty much just walk in the theatre talk for a minute then leave, but I really want to try to get a picture with him.
To anyone who’s also been to a show where one of them were, has anyone gotten pics w them? Idk what to do bc I feel like if I just sit in the theatre and wait for him to come and talk there’s no way I get a picture w him. Should I try to wait in the lobby or something? Thanks
2 free Tickets to opening night Spider-Man. Dec 16 3pm. Must use tickets if you can’t go give it forward.
I wish I could give you gold, so take this instead 🏅. I’m sorry. I can’t afford gold. I can’t afford silver. I can’t afford food. Just yesterday I had to leave home to bury my starving son, Ivan. He got the easy way out, the rest weren’t so lucky. Oh god... I can hear the screams of a man outside o
Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger
