Film PRs, I am begging for SALTY popcorn at screenings PLEASE 🍿

Sequins, beads, glitter, feathers... I love NADINE MERABI's designs and it was a pleasure to speak to her about her mixed heritage for Mixed Messages Newsletter. Read her Lebanese/English story here: mixedmessages.substack.com/p/nadine-merab… (and please follow/ subscribe/ share!)

Which means it basically broke even and made its production cost back in a single weekend 👏🏿

Further proof that people want to see diverse stories from all genres onscreen and that audiences are willing to pay to see our films in a theatre. I'm so happy for Dev 🥹

To confirm to all PRs, I am freelance and no longer have access to a Hearst email address! Please contact me at [email protected]

Sometimes there's power in standing out!
