2017.

Seeing the injustices associated with dating abuse and domestic violence through this work inspired me to write and direct a short film titled Silent Alarm. The film tells the story of a woman held captive by her tunnel vision of a toxic relationship. The story is told from the perspective of the woman, fighting for women’s rights publicly, yet who is paradoxically being abused by her partner. I wanted to shed light on the many forms of abuse, which can sometimes go unnoticed by the abused. It is as if those who are subject to this type of abuse can subconsciously ignore their own situations, while a storm swirls around them, much like the calm experienced in the eye of a tornado.

Growing up, I watched my mother startSpaceX has encouraged two of its own groups to duel (albeit in a semi-friendly manner) as a deeply unorthodox method of getting Starship to operational readiness as fast as physically possible.



Although Musk did partially contradict himself on August 3rd, implying that the first orbital Starship prototype(s) could be “almost ready for flight” by late August, the SpaceX CEO stated on July 19th that both Florida and Texas Starships could be ready for their first (suborbital) flights in “2 to 3 months”, or September/October. The first orbital Starship launch would follow as few as 2-3 months after that (or those) first flight milestones.
