Upcoming Adria Sitings

We’ve got another screening of Homewrecker coming up, and I have to say—being part of this project has been a real lifeline. The last few years in this biz have been… a lot. But HOMEWRECKER is exactly the kind of raw, truth-telling work that makes it all feel worth it. It’s messy, honest, urgent—and I’m so proud to be in it.

It's going to screen in the Dances With Films Film Festival on Friday, June 20, at 7pm at the Grauman's Mann's TCL Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd.

HOMEWRECKER tells the story of Megan, a twenty-something Angeleno whose dream of buying her first home crumbles when her stepdad Tom gets entangled in legal trouble, diverting her funds. Desperate, Megan and her boyfriend resort to increasingly risky methods to break up her mom and Tom, ultimately facing the moral consequences of their choices.

The Team:

Cast: Reilly Anspaugh, Daniel Rashid, Bradley Snedeker, Adria Tennor (that's me!), Jorji Diaz Fadel, Manny Spero
​Director & Screenwriter: Dante Marino
​Cinematographer: Ross Warr

The film will also play in The 34th Woods Hole Film Festival on Cape Cod on Sunday, July 27, 2025 at 9 PM. If you're able to make it, you can grab tickets for that screening here:

I WILL BE AT BOTH OF THESE SCREENINGS ––COME SAY HI!!!

Hot Off My Brain 🧠 & Other Good 💩: A Curated List of Stuff I'm Lovin'
​This is a glimpse into my life, what I'm doing, and what I’m genuinely obsessed with right now—tools, reads, and rituals that are truly lighting me up and making me excited. Some of these links are affiliate, but I’ll always flag them with a 💸 so you know—and I will only ever share stuff I truly love and actually use. Your trust is worth way more to me than a few ill-gotten shekels towards my lukewarm ass-tasting mushroom latte fund, I swear! ✋🏼

📚 What I’m (re)Reading: Creating Money by Sanya Roman & Duane Packer
→ Need a booster shot of this, so revisiting 💉. Yes, it’s about money—but really it’s about energy, alignment, and purpose. Roman & Packer, channeling a non-physical guide named Orin (—stay with me!) offer a step-by-step guide to manifesting abundance using energy work, soul alignment, and spiritual laws. 🌀✨
​Bonus: Their guided meditations are pure energetic balm—I think I've downloaded almost all of them. I usually listen after journaling, or while hiking or driving to keep my mind gently focused on the good stuff (instead of, you know, bad drivers or existential dread). I don’t close my eyes when I listen to them that way—I like my enlightenment without impact. 😌🚗🥾

🎥 What I’m Watching: To Kill a Tiger on Netflix​
→ I was invited to a screening of this documentary at the Hammer Museum by one of my students, who is touring with the film and acting as translator for the father and daughter featured in the post-screening Q&As. I was immeasurably proud—she didn’t just translate their words, she conveyed the emotion behind them as well, with heart and clarity. 💛

Meeting the father and daughter in person was unforgettable. I’ll never forget shaking the hand of this small, humble man who stood up to the local leaders in his small Indian village—leaders who believed the “solution” to his daughter’s rape was marriage to one of the boys who did it. This gentle father chose instead to quietly fight—for justice, for her dignity, and for a future shaped by courage, not silence.

This film is devastating and necessary. Watch it if you can.​

🎧 What I’m Listening To: The Breakthrough Course on the Chani App​
​ → This one’s a gem and such a beautiful blend of astrology, somatic practices, journaling, and ritual. It’s designed to help you move through stuck-ness and step into transformation—not by pushing, but by listening deeply to what’s ready to shift.

The Breakthrough Course is in the free version of the app (amazing!) But if you want access to all of Chani’s content (including the amazing Saturn Return course), use the code SATURN30, for a 30-day free all-access pass.

I’m not an affiliate—just a big fan of the app and of Chani. I’ve been doing these practices alongside my usual journaling practice, and they’ve helped me feel more clear, grounded, and aligned with what’s next.

Ok, wrapping this up before it turns into a bedtime story with chapters! 🥱😴

Let me know if you try any of this stuff—I create it for you, so I’d love to know if it’s landing. 🛬
