Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 125- 4th of July Special

Happy Friday my peoples! This week on the show I have founder of Elements of Madness, Douglas Davidson, join me to talk 4th of July films. Doing it a bit different this time around because one thing you automatically think of when it comes to the 4th is barbecue. So we’ll be talking about some of our favorite BBQ scenes in films.

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 123- Anne Wells & Father's Day Films

If you’re wondering what to check out this weekend, hopefully you caught me on my weekly Let’s Talk Live DC segment early today! If not, be sure to visit picturelockshow.com or follow me on Instagram @picturelockshow to see that. This weekend we have Men in Black International, Shaft, and 5B hitting theaters and I gave my thoughts on those films.

This week on the show I have writer/director/producer Anne Wells on to talk about her film An Accidental Zombie Named Ted. I’ll countdown some of my favorite Father’s Day films in which the father’s presence or lack thereof is crucial to it.

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 121- Ma, Godzilla, and Rocketman w/ Tim Gordon

Happy Friday folks! This week I’m joined by WAFCA President, Tim Gordon, to go over the big movies coming out this weekend. One that we don’t get to is the Netflix release “When They See Us” from Ava Duvernay that looks at the Central Park 5. It’s a tough watch but I suggest folks check it out as while it chronicles a dark spot in our recent history, the story is still playing out today. I spoke about it on Let’s Talk Live early today, so be sure to visit picturelockshow.com or follow me on instagram @picturelockshow to see that! What did you think about the films out this week? Let me know!

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 PR After Show: Patrick Shepherd

Happy Monday folks! I’ve got another great After Show for you with Patrick Shepherd. Typically, the after show is where I ask my guests two questions that cuts straight to great takeaways for how to improve the PR and marketing for your production and they throw one at me. However, since Patrick is more on the film festival side as you heard in Friday’s show, I decided to keep this conversation more focused on how filmmakers can get the most out of film festivals. He gave some great answers. Let me know what you think below or on social! Enjoy!

Picture Lock PR After Show: Marianne Hettinger of Prince Harming

Hey folks! I’m back from Sundance 2019 and the terrible cold I caught coming home from Park City. So I can finally get this After Show out to you. I’d meant to post it prior to leaving for Utah, because it was edited and ready to go…it just didn’t make the export somehow! Regardless, here’s a solid After Show episode w/ the multi-talented Marianne Hettinger of Prince Harming! We talk about making sure you have the right team around you, how to find the right distributor for your project and more. Enjoy!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 97- Leah Meyerhoff, Sharon Lewis, & Suzi Yoonessi

Happy Friday folks! This week I have three Film Fatales joining me. I was probably way to eager to speak with founder of the Film Fatales organization, Leah Meyerhoff. We talked about how the organization started and why its existence is necessary in these times. I also talk with director Sharon Lewis about her Afrofuturist film, Brown Girl Begins. We talk about the origins of her creating the film and what Afrofuturism is. Finally, I talk with director Suzi Yoonessi about her film Unlovable. I had the pleasure of seeing the film and you can too next week, Nov. 2nd as it has a limited release in theaters!

It was awesome talking with these women directors. You’ll absolutely want to be on the lookout for the Picture Lock PR After Show conversations I had with Sharon and Suzi which will be dropped exclusively on the podcast Monday.
