Stuck in a Period Film

Ok that is my dream in life to be stuck in a period film (preferably one in the Victorian era or Art Deco era) vs actually teleporting to the past because you get to bathe in the aesthetic while still having access to modern plumbing and human rights.

Anyways, like every other production the job I’ve been on is down which is why I find that tweet particularly amusing. With all this time at home I’ve been reconnecting to old hobbies and interests (been drawing, taking ballet classes, drinking a lot of tea) and coming up with creative projects for myself.

Plus watching my favorite thing: period pieces! I finished the latest season of Babylon Berlin (1920’s Berlin!!!) and probably should do a whole appreciation post of the phenomenal wallpaper in those sets. Actually I could do appreciation posts on each set they were all so good. Those wallpapers really got me through the initial high anxiety of the first few days of abruptly no longer having work and being at home.

One of the projects on my list of things to-do during this indefinite period of unemployment and sequestered time at home is (finally) updating this website from the time Russian Doll was nominated for an Emmy last July (lol) to now March.

stay tuned!
