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. 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.

Picture Lock Unlocked: Ron Newcomb & Mid-Atlantic Studios
Happy Thursday folks! I’ve got another Unlocked Episode of Picture Lock for you. This is a great conversation with Ron Newcomb, indie filmmaker, producer, director, actor and much more. This particular conversation is about his latest endeavor as the founder of the Mid-Atlantic Studios. I made this particular interview an unlocked episode on the podcast simply because of the nature of it. The Mid-Atlantic Studios is a film studio based in the Mid-Atlantic Region (MD, DC, VA, WV, NC, & SC), conducting 100% of the hiring from the region. It’s their believe that if we band together, we can create a more sustainable environment for filmmaking in the region.
Ron will explain the concept further in the episode, but in short, Ron is currently doing equity crowdfunding to try and create a sustainable way for filmmakers in the region to work year round on projects that they care about. So take a listen and see if you’d like to be involved!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 78- Vyvy Nguyen, Eliyannah Amirah Yisrael, & Douglas Davidson
Happy Friday, and a happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone! A couple of week’s ago I had a bunch of filmmakers from the 2018 DC APA Film Festival talk about their film’s and somehow I let one interview slip through the cracks. So I have my interview w/ Vyvy Nguyen of Starbucks Lovers that I think you’ll enjoy. (My bad Vyvy!) Also, I have the director/producer of Hermione Granger and the Quarter Life Crisis, Eliyannah Amirah Yisrael. We talk about how she took her love for fan fiction into creating the cool web series. Finally, I have my colleague from the North Carolina Film Critics Association, Douglas Davidson, drop by to talk about his site Elements of Madness and other film nerd stuff.
