At the Santa Cruz Film Festival, “Fucktoys” sparks a manifesto on risk, art, and local journalism. To keep stories alive, we have to make them dangerous again.
I don't know if I'll get a chance to see the film but this is a phenomenal piece. My mother tried to talk me out of writing my memoir for years, but it was an ordeal I had survived and a story I needed to tell in order to thrive. I'll be contributing to the 831 soon.
