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 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!

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!
