DC Web FestPicture Lock Radiopodcast
Written By Kevin Sampson

Happy Friday my peoples! Filmmakers, be sure to get your films in to the DC Black Film Festival as the regular deadline period ends on Sunday. Visit dcbff.org for more information!

Today on the show I’m talking with Seth Gadsden, director of the Indie Grits Festival. The fest, now in its 13th year is going on now in my hometown of Columbia, SC and they have a lot of stuff cooking you’ll want to know about. I also talk with director and founder of DC Web Fest, Otessa Ghadar. The fest hits the nation’s capital April 12th and 13th so you have a little time to get ready, but over the next couple of weeks I’ll be releasing interviews with some of the officially selected entrants of the festival. So I also have writer/producer and director/producer of Fake News Writer, Eric Pzena and Dani Hanks; writer/director/producer of Guess I’m a Ghost web series, Christopher Sullivan, and co-creator/director of Shangri-LA web series, Drew Rosas, all on today’s podcast!

Finally, Us hit theaters and destroyed records this past weekend. You can find my breakdown of the film at Youtube.com/picturelockshow for an in depth look at some of the things you may have missed, but I’ve got your answers to the Picture Lock question of the week about the film from last week!

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.
