Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 85- Manic, A Sibling Mystery, Clara's Ultimate Christmas & Pinsky

Picture Lock Radio
Written By Kevin Sampson

Happy Friday my peoples! The full line up for the 2nd annual 2018 DC Black Film Festival is up at http://dcbff.org/2018schedule/! Make sure you check it out to find out the films that you can see August 16-18th in Southeast DC at the Miracle Theatre! 

Today’s episode is a little manic in a variety of ways. First, I talk with Kalina Bertin, the director/producer of the documentary Manic. It's a film in which she struggles to make sense of the legacy of mental illness wreaking havoc over her siblings’ lives. Then I have an interview with Rachel Wortell, the co-writer/director of the comedy/mystery A Sibling Mystery. The zany thing about our interview is that Rachel was outside when we recorded so the radio and podcast episode is alive w/ the sound of nature! :) Then I talk with Emily Aguilar and Faith Deveaux of the film Clara’s Ultimate Christmas. The only thing manic about that interview is how quickly we had to get everything in...so there are a couple times I had to edit out us talking over each other...but it’s a great interview. Finally, I talk with Amanda Lundquist, writer/director of Pinsky. What's wild there was how much fun we had talking about making a film w/ a predominately female above the line crew. In fact, it was great talking to all of these women in film!

The fact that Kevin Sampson is not just a film critic, but a writer, producer, and director as well makes his understanding of cinema even better. Coming from a theoretical and hands on approach, he understands both sides of the struggle of viewing and creating great works. After receiving an MFA in Film & Electronic Media from American University in Washington, D.C in 2011, Kevin took his love for film to the next level by creating and producing Picture Lock, an entertainment website, podcast, and hour long film review TV show that runs on Arlington Independent Media’s public access station in Arlington, VA. The show covers new releases, classic films, and interviews with local filmmakers in the DMV area. He is also a member of the Critics Choice Association, North Carolina Film Critics Association and African American Film Critics Association. He is currently looking forward to filming his first feature film in the near future. He believes that film is one of the most powerful art forms in the world, and he hopes that he can use the craft to inspire others and make a difference in it.
