Film and meaningful storytelling is a perfect place for Substack, visual art that sparks your curiosity. We’re hungry for it! We’re sick of swiping aimless through 10 second videos on these other platforms. Film and video could be so much more, and it’s incredible to see that coming to life here.

Your outfit is amazing! As a native New Yorker who now lives in DC, I understand what you mean about how location influences dress. I believe in wearing what I love, and it’s definitely a New Yorker thing, lol!

Looks like Cindy Sherman circa late 70s/ 1980s. Very cool.

I lived in SF till 2024 and I've always been amazed by the outfits locals wear. You can absolutely tell who is a tourist and who is a local based on their sense of style. I agree SF has their own distinctive style, but it's only evident to the sensitive souls. Loved the film!

SOOOO self absorbed. I’m ashamed that I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. There was a time when people there were real! Now they live in lies. So pretentious! Do they even know who they really are? Don’t get me wrong, I love fashion that celebrates real women and real men!

I’m happy for them. Are you going to add a film and television category for creators on the platform?

San Fran looks like a vacant shell of its former self. At least you’re trying to make it look good again
