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. 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/

Happy Friday folks! I’ve got a return to form with a longer episode for the podcast today! I talk with writer/director of Grind Reset Shine, Margarita Jimeno.

Picture Lock PR After Show: Ron Newcomb & Mid-Atlantic Studios

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!
