Pass Go - Jordan Webb

Jordan Webb competes in an incomprehensible game that is rigged against him from the start.

The member of Panamanian rock band Making Movies (led by frontman Enrique Chi) have let fame go to their heads. But the universe has plans to punish them for their hubris. Chaos ensues aboard a flight to their next gig, thanks to a negligent pilot (Rory Albanese) an ill-prepared Co-Pilot (Dave Abed) and a questionable Flight Attendant (Tina Burner). While the captain takes a "bathroom break," the airplane goes down and crashes in the desert. But instead of burning with the wreckage, the band rises from the ashes and live to tell their tale. Como ave de mal agüero, nunca morire. Viajero sin ruta o puerto nunca morire. XOPA is the title track from the album XOPA by Making Movies.

He is also the director of the Streamy-nominated series Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party and Telly Award-winning series Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Tale. His next feature film is slated to begin production in late 2024. Stribling's concert film with Making Movies "en la sala" premiered on PBS in 2024.

Every social justice movement has a song that serves as an anthem for the movement. Why is there no anthem for the climate movement? Critically acclaimed drag queen and vocalist Pattie Gonia joined 19-time Grammy award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Indigenous trans musician and Tiny Desk Contest winner Quinn Christopherson to write a climate change anthem. ‘Won't Give Up’ is a song about not giving up on this planet and not giving up on each other. The three artists traveled to Alaska (Christopherson’s native lands) to create a music video for ‘Won’t Give Up’ and performed the track in front of Holgate and Exit Glaciers - two glaciers that are dying because of climate change.
