Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 115- Fall Back Spring Forward (Spring 2019) ft. Douglas Davidson

Happy Friday fam! Today on the show I’m finally putting out my Fall Back Spring Forward Spring 2019 episode. I had Douglas Davidson of Elements of Madness join me to talk about our most and least anticipated films of the spring of this year. We recorded this March 13th, but I’ve had so many time sensitive interviews I haven’t been able to put it out. So some of our picks have already hit theaters but the majority have not. Did we pick some of your favorites? Agree or disagree with our list? Let me know on social! Sit back, relax, press play and enjoy!

Picture Lock Unlocked: What's Wrong With Liking Green Book?

Happy Thursday folks! I’ve got a special Unlocked Episode today. This year I want to do a lot more in using my platform to have tough conversations and continue to make positive social change. With the recent win of Green Book for Best Picture, I think there was an audible moan heard around the world when it was announced. Certainly social media blew up in discussing either disappointment or happiness for the films win. But with some of the discussion being yelling and demeaning back and forths on social media, I wanted to have a calm convo on the subject. So today I’m joined by film critic and WTOP Entertainment Editor Jason Fraley to discuss: What’s Wrong With Liking Green Book?

I’m grateful for Jason joining me to have the discussion as this is a sensitive subject and it’s not always easy to dive into race relations and how we interact with one another. However, he believed in the importance of having this conversation just as much as I did. So it’s a nice conversation between friends and film critics that I think you’ll enjoy.

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 105- Top 10 Films of 2018 ft. Dean Rogers

Happy Friday folks! Today I’m joined by Dean Rogers of the Rogers Revue to discuss our top 10 films of 2018. As you can imagine, if you get two film critics in a room to talk best of...it can take a while. So this podcast episode is a little bit longer than the usual, but it’s definitely a good listen. I’ll be the first to admit, I probably could have livened it up with audio clips from films, but so many were missing from the online EPK that I moved forward without them. I’ll make it up to you at some point this year! lol 2018 was a good year for film and we had a lot to talk about! Thanks for listening and supporting!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 102- The Christmas Chronicles, Ali Cotterill, & Amy Adrion

Happy Friday folks! As of today, Picture Lock is now a 30 minute episode. So I’ve got two amazing filmmakers on the show today. First I talk with the director of North Pole, NY Ali Cotterill. We talk about her film which focuses on Santa’s Workshop, one of the first theme parks in the U.S. battling a changing economy and digital world. I also talk with Amy Adrion, director/producer of Half The Picture. The documentary is about the dismal number of women directors working in Hollywood, but covers successful women directors, their career paths, struggles, inspirations and hopes for the future.

But first, in celebration of Ali’s film, I have my review of Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles. Definitely a winner to watch with the family this season. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the listen!

Picture Lock PR After Show: Alex Ferrari of Indie Film Hustle

Hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday! I’m definitely dropping some information filled After Shows for your Thanksgiving travels. I’m really excited to bring you this conversation with Indie Film Hustle’s Alex Ferrari because Alex and I share the same passion for cinema and helping filmmakers grow in their journey. We talk about how to not just make asks of your tribe and community, but give value first. Alex also asks me about giving filmmakers the reason they didn’t get into my film festival. Finally, we chat for a little while about the importance of enjoying the journey. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode! Thanks for listening.

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!

Happy Friday folks! I’ve got a super special 100th episode for you guys! I have founder of Indie Film Hustle and Indie Film Hustle TV, Alex Ferrari on the show. We talk about how his love for film burgeoned into an empire along with the launch of his new streaming platform geared to help indie filmmakers. I also talk with Roxy Shih, director of Pain Killers. Roxy is a rock star. We recorded this interview a while back but since then I’ve followed her on Instagram and she dances, plays the violin, directs a film festival, directs movies, and so much more. You’ll definitely want to check out the after show that I had with both my guests next week to keep your Thanksgiving travels fun!

Since this episode will be the one to air prior to Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving! In honor of this monumental episode and the holiday, I have some call-ins sprinkled throughout the show in which folks will list their top 3 Thanksgiving films. But first, Steve McQueen’s Widows hits theaters this weekend and ya’ll...I guarantee your money won’t be wasted if you go!
