🎬✨ JESUS LAND — EAST COAST PREMIERE ✨🎬
We are thrilled to announce that JESUS LAND will have its East Coast Premiere as the Closing Night Film of the SOHO International Film Festival in New York City!
After years of bringing this deeply personal story to the screen, it is incredibly meaningful to share Jesus Land with New York audiences.
Set in 1980s Indiana, Jesus Land follows 16-year-old Julia and her Black adopted brother David as they navigate family, faith, prejudice, and a world that challenges their sense of identity and belonging. Written and Directed by Saila Kariat, co-produced by Saila Kariat and Andrea Batista, and based on the acclaimed memoir by Julia Scheeres. With an incredible cast: Ella Anderson Juliette Lewis Xavier Jones Bryce Johnson Kristian Bruun Kelly Sullivan Nikki Roumel Olivia Choate Jackson Coppins Georgia Waehler Sarah Brine Emma Naumovska Jared Scott Thaddeus Faustin Scarlet Presley.

Excited to share my latest for @altajournal, about an eccentric, rule-defying architect who figured out how to design off-the-grid, self-sustaining houses 50 years ago.
Meaning: your home collects rain water for drinking and bathing, grows your food, processes your waste and keeps you cozy year-around.
AND: they’re built with recycled cans, bottles and tires. If only we could roll out “earthships” everywhere!
So grateful to @blaisez and the Alta team for assigning this fun, and hopeful, story about climate resilience in the rapidly heating West. (Link below!)

Obligatory bathroom selfie. Bringing a picture of my goofy brother in seventh grade for luck. This isn’t waterproof mascara. 😅

We cleaned up pretty well. At our babysitter’s wedding.

I find myself mesmerized by the beams of sunlight insisting their way into my home lately.
I’ve been anxious about the movie that has been made from my memoir, about exposing myself on a larger scale, about reviews.
My life would’ve been easier if I hadn’t written the book. If I had kept my head down and “moved on.”
But David did not have that choice. And when I found the green notebook in which he had begun to write his life story, I knew that I could not turn away.
The truth insists on revelation.

This boy’s life story will premiere at @sohofilmfest tonight in NYC, one of the many places he never got to visit. ❤️ David talked about going to acting school, so it’s surreal that a soulful young actor from Indianapolis, @xaysmj plays him on the big screen. 🎬
So grateful that @kariatfilms read JESUS LAND and decided to make it into a movie. David would be amazed. ✨

In celebration of #bannedbooksweek 🙌🏼
My memoir has been banned in several more states since I made this graphic. At least I am in good company with Toni Morrison, John Updike, Kurt Vonnegut, and Margaret Atwood. 😂

Just met this beautiful creature in Tilden. Slightly larger than my house cat!

Excited to talk to @nataliebaszile about her searing new novel at @keplersbooks on Oct. 6. ✨ (Do I kinda sorta match?) If you’re in the area, please come! 💗
From the author of Queen Sugar, a piercing examination of friendship and loyalty as two best friends find themselves at odds over their beliefs on race, identity and allyship, especially when it comes to their teenage children
Babs and Nora became friends thanks to their kids. Now, the desire to protect their children might tear them apart.
Babs and Nora have spent a decade’s worth of morning walks sharing family secrets, local drama, and advice—everything from tips on lingerie choices to Babs’s suggestions to Nora, a white woman, on how to raise Nathan, her adopted Black son.
But their worlds are turned upside down when the cops are called on their kids while they’re home alone, leading to a traumatic police encounter for Nathan. In the aftermath, Babs and Nora find themselves divided as never before, and Nathan looks for refuge with Babs and her family, where, unlike in his own home, race, identity, and culture are always up for discussion. Babs can see that Nathan is a young Black man without community trying to find himself. Torn between respecting Nora’s boundaries and embodying the values so important to her own family, Babs will make a choice that will shape their lives forever.
Set in a tight-knit enclave in the Bay Area, Friends and Family is an eye-opening exploration of friendship and privilege, race and community, and what it means to truly be a good friend and ally.
