Great to be included in BWDR's 'Nostalgia' issue. I write here about Chicano culture, why Latinx people can't hae movie nostalgia and what it was like to ride on Whittier Blvd in the back of a #lowrider brightwalldarkroom.com/2023/…
My review of the Wham! documentary led me to reflect more deeply on George Michael and what he means to today. On Medium: The New Wham! Film Speaks Loudly in Careful Whispers #georgemichael #wham #music #netflix #film link.medium.com/rhZsdETszBb
I have this one true story I witnessed that always seems to make Bowie and music fans smile. I hope that at the end of this week marking his birth/passing, it brings some joy. tomcendejas.medium.com/sound… @DavidBowieReal #BowieForever #DavidBowie #music #eternallove
Dear @The_Real_IMAN I hope the following story brings you a smile during what must have been a tough week. It's a memory I hope you recall; one of the sweetest things I've ever witnessed. Much love tomcendejas.medium.com/sound… #bowieforever #davidbowie

As great as Licorice Pizza is, it's another film from that valley. In this piece, I write about the "other valley" in LA and the stories that point out what Licorice misses. #licoricepizza #movies #film #BWDR brightwalldarkroom.com/2022/…

Proud that @EW listed us among 10 Upcoming LGBTQ Projects to Get Excited For. 💜 Especially on this #IDAHOBIT, after finding out about the murder of Alireza Fazeli Monfared in Iran, & our film being banned in China. In the U.S., we will open on Pride weekend, Jun 25! #loveislove
