Today this Queer Afro-Puerto Rican boy from the Bronx, who decided in 1995 at 15yrs old that he wanted to become a filmmaker like his heroes Spike Lee & Steven Spielberg, became an @TelevisionAcad #Emmys nominated Director. I’m crying. 🥲 #PoseFX

D’Angelo, Richard Roundtree, and Chadwick Boseman are among the Black men we’ve lost to gastrointestinal cancers such as colon and pancreatic cancer. These diseases are taking too many of our icons. Please get regular screenings 🥺🙏🏾

I love Brown Sugar, but Voodoo? That album is magic. A forever fav. From the moment I saw the video to Untitled on VH1 Soul I was forever changed. D’Angelo was just different. The voice, the musicianship, the style. Thank you for sharing your art, sir. Rest in power & peace. 💔🕊️
D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51. https://t.co/iFJ83gV9EQ

Rest in peace Miss Major. This incredible woman fought for trans rights, and LGBTQ+ liberation. She was part of the Stonewall rebellion and taught us all how to move through the world as fearless advocates. Gone but never forgotten, her great work continues. 🕊️🤍

Look at her body of work. Simply put… she had the range. Will love ya forever, Diane Keaton. ❤️
Rest in peace, Diane Keaton. The Oscar winner’s spirit, humor, and heart lit up every film she touched — from "Annie Hall" and "The Godfather" to "The First Wives Club," and "Father of the Bride." She was a true Icon. Thank you, Diane, for a lifetime of unforgettable moments.

Diane Keaton is a forever icon. She’s been an indelible part of my cinema-going experience my entire life. This one hurts. Heartbroken doesn’t even begin to cover it. 😢💔

Ken Jacobs will always be a titan of experimental filmmaking. I feel fortunate to have called him Professor when I was a Cinema major at Binghamton University. He challenged me in ways I still think about. Rest peacefully, sir. And thank you. https://t.co/nISn3xpotp via @NYTimes

Using found footage and toying with dimensions (2-D could seem like dazzling 3-D), he sought to explode cinema’s traditional boundaries.

Anyone who truly knows me is aware of my deep love for The Transformers. Optimus Prime is my favorite fictional character of all time & his death in the 1986 animated film traumatized me. Thank you Ron Friedman for the memories. May you rest peacefully. Til All Are One.
