Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 113- Patrick Shepherd of CIFF & Director Sara Zandieh

Happy Friday folks! Filmmakers be sure to get your films in to the DC Black Film Festival as we’re still in the regular call for entries period until the end of this month. I can tell you first hand that you’ll want to be a part of this year’s showcase and we’re cooking up some great stuff for you!

Today on the show I’m talking with Patrick Shepherd, the Associate Director of the Cleveland International Film Festival about what we can expect to see at this year’s festival. The fest takes place March 27th through April 7th and I have a feeling you’ll want to put it on your radar after this interview. I also talk with Sara Zandieh, writer/director of Simple Wedding. We talk about how her mixed heritage influences the films she makes and how it makes a universal impact for film viewers. Fun fact: I recorded with Sara and Patrick at least a month a part and her film will be playing at CIFF. So you’re getting a double preview!

Check out the Cleveland International Film Festival here: https://www.clevelandfilm.org/

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 109- Suki Hawley & Janet Pierson of SXSW Film

Screen Shot 2019-02-22 at 12.23.58 PM.png

Happy Friday my people! I was honored to be featured in WTOP’s Black History Month highlighting of black men and women doing groundbreaking work to better the community. Shoutout to Rob Woodfork and Jason Fraley! Check out the link to the article below, but I’m glad that my work with this show and the DC Black Film Festival is making a difference in the community both locally and at large.

Today I talk with co-director and editor of the documentary The Commons, Suki Hawley. The documentary covers students at UNC’s flagship campus in Chapel Hill as they take to the commons to demand the removal of “Silent Sam,” a Jim-Crow-era Confederate statue. With the specter of the Charlottesville tragedy hanging thick in the air, the confrontation takes on a life of its own. I also talk with the director of SXSW Film, Janet Pierson. Janet and I talk about what you can expect to see at this year’s Film Festival and how to best navigate it!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 107- Jill Demby Guest & Maxine Trump

Happy Friday folks! Today I’m joined by writer/director/producer Jill Demby Guest of the doc And Now Love and writer/director of the documentary To Kid or Not To Kid, Maxine Trump. Fair warning, I had a little Forrest Gump moment with Maxine’s interview on her first question cut out a bit on the call. I was able to catch another one later, but my apologies. But I’m sure she’ll find it funny as she did get her start in comedy...and that’s all I have to say about that. Plus I have the Picture Lock Question of the week from last week.
