Happy Friday folks! This weekend, August 1st-4th, The BlackStar Film Festival is taking place in Philadelphia. I talk with founder and director of the fest, Maori Holmes about what you can expect to see and do this weekend. The great part about it, is I have Melinda James, cinematographer of Oklahoma Is Black on this week as well. Her film will be playing at BlackStar as well as the DC Black Film festival, so we kill two pre-fest birds with one interview. And last but not least, I’ll talk with Latasha Kennedy, writer/director of One Last Goodbye. Don’t miss the After Show with Latasha on Monday!

Picture Lock PR After Show: Ron Newcomb & Mid-Atlantic Studios

Well, you should be off after today, so Wednesday isn’t looking like a hump day! Happy holidays! I’ve got the After Show conversation with Ron Newcomb. He talks about the importance of being transparent with your audience, and oversimplifying while over-communicating in an effort to create clear expectations. Ron also asks me the best way to navigate the film festival world to get the best bang for your buck…aka how to ensure you’re submitting to the right fests. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode! Thanks for listening.

The after show is where I ask my guests two questions that cut straight to great takeaways for how to improve the PR and marketing for your production and they throw one at me. Definitely worth the time to listen #indiefilmmakers!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 99- The Front Runner, Jamielyn Lippman, Ashley York, Dawn Mikkelson, & Norah Shapiro

Risking+Light_Director_Dawn+Mikkelson.jpg

Happy Friday folks! I’m so glad I get to cap off this election week with an episode of personal and political empowerment. I spoke with director Jamielyn Lippman about her documentary “3 Years in Pakistan: The Erik Aude Story”, director Ashley York about her film “Hillbilly”, director Dawn Mikkelson of “Risking Light” and director Norah Shapiro about her doc “Time for Ilhan”. Now the cool thing about “Time for Ilhan” is that it covers Ilhan Omar’s race for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016 which made her the first Somali-American legislator to hold an elected office, and she just became the first Somali-American Muslim to hold a seat in US congress. So congrats to her! But first I’ve got my movie review of a political defeat in “The Frontrunner”, starring Hugh Jackman which hits theaters this weekend.

Happy Monday my people! Director Jenna Laurenzo’s new comedy Lez Bomb hits theaters and VOD this Friday!
