Picture Lock: Lost In Space Season 2 Interviews

Happy holidays folks! The new season of Lost In Space finds the Robinsons several months after season one’s final episode ended. They’re stranded on a planet with what seems like no way out. Impossible situations that take intelligence, courage, and the love of family seems to be the norm for the Robinsons this season. I was lucky to talk with some of the cast and crew of the Netflix series! Sit back and enjoy the interviews with Maxwell Jenkins (Will Robinson), Parker Posey (Dr. Smith), writer Zach Estrin, Mina Sundwall (Penny Robinson), Ignacio Serricchio (Don West) and creator Burk Sharpless!

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

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. 98-Julia Moroles, In Search of Greatness, Cucalorus Festival & Lez Bomb

Happy Friday folks! This week I have a jam packed episode! I talk with Picture Lock contributor Julia Moroles about her love for documentary filmmaking, and her latest documentary. Julia also talked with Gabe Polsky, director of In Search of Greatness about his latest documentary, which is in theaters today! I talk with Chief Instigating Officer, Dan Brawley, of the Cucalorus festival about what we can expect to see next weekend at the festival that is still standing strong in it’s 24th year in Wilmington, NC. Which is awesome because the city was hit hard by Hurricane Florence this year. So mark your calendars for November 7th-11th film lovers!

If my talk with Dan isn’t enough to convince you to check it out, my conversation with one of my new best friends, Jenna Laurenzo surely will. Jenna is the director of Lez Bomb, a hilarious new comedy about coming home and coming out. The film will be playing at the Cucalorus film festival, which is quite coincidental because at the time we recorded, I had no idea! You’ll definitely want to hear the Picture Lock After Show conversation I had with Jenna which I’ll drop Monday on the podcast. It’s packed, but it’s another great episode!

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.

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 90- Noor Gharzeddine, Ramaa Mosley, Tiffany Bartok, & Juliet Lammers

Happy Friday folks! I'm back after a brief rest from the 2018 DC Black Film Festival. (Which was dope) This week on the show, I’ve got the director of “Are You Glad I’m Here” Noor Gharzeddine on the show to talk about the film with an unlikely pairing. Ramaa Mosley, writer/director/producer of “Tatterdamelion”, drops in to talk about her mystery/thriller! If you know any beauty influencers, you’re going to want to listen to my chat with director Tiffany Bartok of “Larger Than Life: The Kevyn Aucoin Story” which highlights the life of the man who was giving beauty tips before Instaglam was a thing! Finally, I talk with producer/director Juliet Lammers about her film “Studios, Lofts, and Jam Spaces” which portrays said locations and what they mean to Montreal based artists. Plus, your Picture Lock Question of The Week from a couple weeks ago is read on the show.

Picture Lock Unlocked: John "Dr. Teeth" Tucker

This unlocked episode features my full conversation with John “Dr. Teeth” Tucker. John is a legend in hip hop music videos and has continued to evolve his career into narrative film now. “Pas Honteux” is his first venture into the scene and it’s a memorable entre. In this full interview, we dive deeper into his time directing music videos and capturing an era and culture of southern hip-hop and how that helped him be a visual storyteller. We also dig deeper into Pas Honteux.  If you’re a listener that's never heard of “Dr. Teeth”, go google him, catch up and enjoy. If you have heard of him, you’ll certainly get a kick out of this interview. Either way, it was a great conversation and I think you’ll enjoy hearing from an experienced filmmaker.

Don't forget the 2018 DC Black Film Festival call for entries is now open! The festival will be held August 16-18 at the Miracle Theatre in Southeast Washington, DC. Filmmakers can submit through FilmFreeway. Visit dcbff.org for more details!
