I volunteered here for a little over a year, 2016-2017. Cinefamily is just a nonstop shit show behind the scenes, with good people caught in the crossfire.

I did not expect to NOPE out on Hollywood/media as fast as I did. Egos are one thing, but men like this act like they’ve cured cancer. No sorry you just made a shitty film/own a theater/placed a story/etc.

I used to worship cultural encyclopedias like Hadrian, but I saw the way they interacted with women, and it was so disillusioning. Young 20 something girls (about the age of a volunteer) won’t understand how “all-knowing & powerful guys” like this will effect them, until the thing that they were most passionate about…

My thoughts exactly. The attitude behind the statements so far does not give me much faith, but I love the idea of them just shutting down for maybe a month to really clean house (this is clearly a board- and business-wide issue, top to bottom), and then maybe just having all ladies run it. That would be amazing.

There were always lots of events with free booze as well. Now the question is was that to try to bring people in, or predators setting up their version of Neverland Ranch by showing “Daisies” 1o million times and handing out cocktails?

This is the worst thing to happen in that theatre since the shooting murder of Laurence Austin in the snack bar in 1997.

This whole situation makes me sangry. Cinefamily has been a hugely needed showcase for interesting, obscure, bizarre and offbeat films that almost never get shown. They have monthly themes, unique programs, and they were a very welcome replacement when the owner of the Silent Movie Theater was murdered. I am going to…

The other horrifying thing about this is that no one who has worked or volunteered is surprised, even if they never witnessed any harassment prior to this.

I used to work at a place down the street from the Cinefamily and Hadrian would come in sometimes. Before I even clicked on the article, I knew it was about him. It was a wellness center where we offered massages, so we always had the antennae up for potential red flags (you can’t do anything about the creeps until…

You know I always found the group a little confusing on base facts alone, the name “Cinefamily” for it was weird. I thought “oh so they only do like family movie screenings”, but no. It made no sense.

I hope their careers are over. This is so common. Shoutout to all the people experiencing this right now in their jobs. It’s not just women. Workplace psychopaths are definitely out there and it can take years to recover from that kind of situation.

Amen to this, and your statement applies to almost any situation in life. The bottom line is that in life you can work on improvement or complain about the cards you are dealt. It blows my mind when I see the amount of energy expanded needlessly on outrage over trivial misunderstandings. If a white person tells you…

 Funny, I was asked at least 10 times while we were out and about if I was a “faggot”. Almost got jumped by about 10 dudes at a party when one of their women fell in love with this “faggot”. Next day, game day, I saw literally 10,000 white dudes wearing the same outfit, with the same haircut, running around town. Saw…

I don’t normally jump into this type of discussion, but there’s a massive counter protest being organized against this. The rally is being organized by the same dickwipe who brought Richard Spencer onto campus last year, and there was a massive effort on the part of the student to make it clear he wasn’t welcome. So…

I agree with what you said. And I realize that even white liberals who consider themselves very much anti-racist can still be pretty racist. It’s like we think we look good by comparison. I grew up around very racist white people at my school (in Virginia not all that far from Charlottesville.) I’m talking about very…

I’m white. I only say it because I don’t see why I have to hide it. This whole thing is so patronizing. Like I’m too ignorant to fully appreciate this or I’m a White Knight that secretly discriminates against black people. Fuck that. I’ll always support the fight against racism and I suppose I’ll just have to live…

I too felt the need to point out the woman murdered by these Nazi scumbags was white. I don’t see why we should be separating ourselves by race in response to white supremacist Nazis. Isn’t that what they want us to do? No. Fuck that. Regardless of color all human beings need to stand against Nazis just like Heather…

Yes, I do see that I am doing the exact thing that Danielle is speaking about. Obviously, I disagree with aspects of what she said and was making that clear. I’m a realist. Just from the aspect of pure numbers POC need every single white person possible to rise up against this wave of white supremacy. We’re beyond…

In short, the world is full of dangerous people that want to hurt POC physically and economically. Meanwhile, our white allies are in their feelings about it all, so it’s annoying people of color. Got it. So now that that’s out the way, when are we going to move past think-pieces and memes about white privilege and…
