I’m so happy about the accessibility. I pet sit and was in the midst of tidying the house and taking care of the cats, but I was able to participate via mobile w no issues. I loved getting to know more about the connection of the title and how it informed the film, I’m into astrology as well so learning more about that piece was cool. "
