Podcast con Paco Cabezas, quien dirigiendo “Penny Dreadful”, “Umbrella Academy” o “American Gods” me inspiró directamente para dedicarme a esto.

Escuchar EN SPOTIFY — Spoke to one of my teen idols, @Paco_cabezas about how knowing of a Spaniard blue-collar director on shows like "Penny Dreadful", "Umbrella Academy" or "American Gods" made me believe that I, too, could do anything.

Dressed up as both Crowley and Aziraphale from @neil-gaiman's Good Omens books, which gave me delightful brainworms all summer long. Inspired by @pinkpiggy93's art.

Hello Ali! I've been fascinated with "Paradise Hills" ever since it came out. What were some of your inspirations for it? Also how do you identify (pronouns-wise)?

Hey friend! They/Her. I'm non-binary, always a joy to hear my pronouns alternated.

Think "Picnic at Hanging Rock" meets "The Prisoner": institutionalization meeting cult mentality that forms an absolutist system.

Visually, since this is Tumblr, I will mention that Yuuko from Clamp's XxxHolic and most of "Revolutionary Girl Utena" were also visual influences.

My dad says he cries every time he watches it because it feels like a capsule from my childhood-- parents met at a revolutionary film club; I grew up escaping into comic books, sci-fi, cosplaying, etc. My intention was always to push the limits of what was considered genre-acceptable. EG: mixing science fiction with high fantasy was such a fun experiment.

PS: It's incredible to see the way that pop culture feeds itself and a honor to have even a tiny part in it-- I was always a fan of Milla's and have played, I believe, every "Resident Evil" (4 is my fave), so it was absolutely bonkers when they inspired Lady Dimitrescu in the characterization that Alberto Valcarcel, our costume designer, put together for her.
