Written by Catie Chan Produced by Jada Henry PRODUCER STATEMENT @MaggieThinksThat is a multiplatform TV show that begs the question - what kind of person falls for the alt-right algorithm? And how do you love them? In the creation of @MaggieThinksThat we look to engage the audience in the larger discussion surrounding social engagement and our susceptibility to pernicious influence in our desire to be wanted.

Pursuit of Perception
Written and Directed by Jada Henry
Life is like a game of rock, paper, scissors. One moment we’re solid as rock, the next as flimsy as paper, at other times sharp in our own perceptions. and action. Blu can’t seem to stop comparing her life to what’s around her. Her aspiration for a good life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is challenged by her relentless allegiance to presentation and perceptions from the outset. Her perspective is challenged when she comes across someone similar to her.
