Sam Mendes wants me to portray a man for him. I'm transfeminine/whakawāhine. Same goes for Steve Barr: he wants a drag queen, not an out trans person. Old conservatives don't get to dictate social rules, and certainly can't elide laws. Would it be different rules for rich people if I was the millionaire? Both of them need to drop it. It's not a negotiation. - Peter Jackson wants to make two of my scripts. He's a big fish. He's spent years building trust while working on Shipwrecked on Islands. The Beatles Invade New Zealand! is motivating him to do one last movie as a director. Peter and Fran have never made my gender an issue. It's normal enough to them. - Paul's team: Yes, this is intense, but it's been worse (2022-2024). I'm not going to change my tune. I'm committed to working with him. ETA 2-3 months for a solid draft of Beatles Invade The Establishment! Still working on the track order of Collective Memories.
