How do we justify losing half a season, half a year?
Our season will still be on the school calendar.
[But] last year, we started airing in September, when school started.

Its really like, whats going on in the school?
But shes not complaining, she admitted.
So for me, I welcomed a shorter season because it was tiring, exhausting work.

Love it, but exhausting for me.
I was ready to go back.
The process kicked off, as it always does, with the breaking of the seasons arc.
Talking about that arc helps us start to put together episodes.
We talked about our premiere, which Im trying not to spoil.
That became the focus of the past two weeks.
Because Im not sure it was quite processing while it was happening.
People hurl insults at each other.
But once its done, it really feels like both sides are happy with what they accomplished.
Were happy to be back in the room again.
You know, I see the Tik and the Tok, and I get really scared.
I worry that there arent places where people are honing in on their crafts anymore.
And I say this as a child of the internet, Brunson shared.
Do you know how tight that is?
Super f**king tight.
This is where I want to put my money.
Its where I want to put my efforts.
I want to double-check that the creators of tomorrow are fully funded and fully supported.
So I want to thank Ghetto Film School for existing and also giving me this honor.
I do not take it for granted.
