Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 118- Stefon Bristol of See You Yesterday

Happy Friday my peoples! Today I’m talking with Stefon Bristol, the director/co-writer of See You Yesterday. The film made the rounds as a short film and has now been turned into a feature that will play at the Tribeca Film Festival next week to sold out crowds and debut May 17th on Netflix. I have stalked the progress of this film with great pride as the film played during the first DC Black Film Festival and I’ve watched Stefon grind it out. So while you can’t get tickets for Tribeca, let’s support him May 17th for sure! It’s been a minute since I’ve had a trailer reaction, but with Gemini Man dropping this week I figured this would be a good time to do it. Plus, I have your answers to last week’s question of the week!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 102- The Christmas Chronicles, Ali Cotterill, & Amy Adrion

Happy Friday folks! As of today, Picture Lock is now a 30 minute episode. So I’ve got two amazing filmmakers on the show today. First I talk with the director of North Pole, NY Ali Cotterill. We talk about her film which focuses on Santa’s Workshop, one of the first theme parks in the U.S. battling a changing economy and digital world. I also talk with Amy Adrion, director/producer of Half The Picture. The documentary is about the dismal number of women directors working in Hollywood, but covers successful women directors, their career paths, struggles, inspirations and hopes for the future.

But first, in celebration of Ali’s film, I have my review of Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles. Definitely a winner to watch with the family this season. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the listen!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 85- Manic, A Sibling Mystery, Clara's Ultimate Christmas & Pinsky

Happy Friday my peoples! The full line up for the 2nd annual 2018 DC Black Film Festival is up at http://dcbff.org/2018schedule/! Make sure you check it out to find out the films that you can see August 16-18th in Southeast DC at the Miracle Theatre!

Today’s episode is a little manic in a variety of ways. First, I talk with Kalina Bertin, the director/producer of the documentary Manic. It's a film in which she struggles to make sense of the legacy of mental illness wreaking havoc over her siblings’ lives. Then I have an interview with Rachel Wortell, the co-writer/director of the comedy/mystery A Sibling Mystery. The zany thing about our interview is that Rachel was outside when we recorded so the radio and podcast episode is alive w/ the sound of nature! :) Then I talk with Emily Aguilar and Faith Deveaux of the film Clara’s Ultimate Christmas. The only thing manic about that interview is how quickly we had to get everything in...so there are a couple times I had to edit out us talking over each other...but it’s a great interview. Finally, I talk with Amanda Lundquist, writer/director of Pinsky. What's wild there was how much fun we had talking about making a film w/ a predominately female above the line crew. In fact, it was great talking to all of these women in film!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 84- Eighth Grade, All These Small Moments, Bias, & The Judge

Jemima+Kirke+Melissa+Miller+Costanzo+These+wT6E-5CAvW3l.jpg

Happy Friday folks! "Eighth Grade" hits theaters this weekend and I have Picture Lock contributor Richie Wenzler on to give his thoughts on the film. So in the spirit of middle school awkwardness and judging, I have a great line up of interviews for you on the show. I talk with the hilarious Melissa Miller-Costanzo of “All These Small Moments”. We talk about our love for people to be quiet and leave us alone during movies, but more importantly the well received film. I also talk with producer/director Robin Hauser about her documentary film “Bias”. In the film, she puts her own biases on display to explore the nature of implicit bias. Finally, I speak w/ Erika Cohn, producer/director of “The Judge”. The film explores revolves around the first woman appointed to a Shari'a court in the Middle East, whose career provides rare insights into both Islamic law and gendered justice. Plus I've got your answers to the Picture Lock question of the week two weeks ago after missing last week!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 82- Jeanne Marie Spicuzza, Emma Loggins, Creed II Trailer Reaction

Happy Friday folks! I’m really excited about this week’s episode which spans time in regard to the two interviews I have for you, but there was a common thread amongst my guests that I could sum up in one word! Survivor. So I decided, why not do a survivor themed show as I talk with Writer/Producer/Director of The Scarapist Jeanne Marie-Spiccuzza and Editor and Chief of Fanbolt, Emma Loggins. Both of these women were a blast to talk with and I just loved their backstory and how they took life's negatives and turned it into something positive as you’ll hear. I've also got my Creed II trailer reaction which is actually different from this video reaction. I've also got the Picture Lock Question of the Week !

Picture Lock Unlocked: Antony Beilinsohn Rosebud Film Fest interview

The Rosebud Film Festival is hitting DC and Arlington, VA next week, January 26-28th. Be sure to go to rosebudfestival.org to get information on tickets and the films we’ll be screening. Because I have so many hours of interviews with Rosebud filmmakers, I had to do an unlocked episode and release something outside of the regular Friday episodes. I have Antony Beilinsohn of "Free Advice" to talk about his comedy web series with 11 year old stand up comic Adam Chernick, and my oh my, get a piece of paper out or get prepared to write on the tablet of your mind because he gives some nuggets of wisdom that will stick with you as far as career and life! I just think the value in this episode is ridiculously awesome! So happy to talk with Antony and I definitely want to hear your feedback on what he had to say.

Plus you'll hear from Director Dean Devlin and actor Gerard Butler of Geostorm.
