Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 99- The Front Runner, Jamielyn Lippman, Ashley York, Dawn Mikkelson, & Norah Shapiro

Risking+Light_Director_Dawn+Mikkelson.jpg

Happy Friday folks! I’m so glad I get to cap off this election week with an episode of personal and political empowerment. I spoke with director Jamielyn Lippman about her documentary “3 Years in Pakistan: The Erik Aude Story”, director Ashley York about her film “Hillbilly”, director Dawn Mikkelson of “Risking Light” and director Norah Shapiro about her doc “Time for Ilhan”. Now the cool thing about “Time for Ilhan” is that it covers Ilhan Omar’s race for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016 which made her the first Somali-American legislator to hold an elected office, and she just became the first Somali-American Muslim to hold a seat in US congress. So congrats to her! But first I’ve got my movie review of a political defeat in “The Frontrunner”, starring Hugh Jackman which hits theaters this weekend.

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. 59- Mike S., Beats, and Movies

I've got one of the most fun episodes I've recorded to date. Simply because over the Thanksgiving break I was able to spend some time with family, and interview my brother, Mikhael Sampson, for the first time ever! If you’re a listener of the radio show and podcast you know that I always give him a shoutout at the end of the show for providing the music. It’s no surprise that if I’m such a huge lover of film, he must be too, although on a smaller scale, but you can hear it in the music he creates. We’ll talk about his career as a music producer and listen to some of the tracks that he’s sampled from movie scores...and if you’re a fan of Stranger Things, you’ll get the exclusive listen to his latest track, The Return!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 45- Talking Movies & TV w/ Mom

My mom was in town, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about film, what it meant to our family, and gush a bit over our beloved "It's a Wonderful Life". It was fun to sit down with her and hear some family stories. You might even hear an embarrassing story or two...or will you?
