Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 62- 2018 Rosebud Film Festival pt. 2

Hey folks! 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. I’m keeping the Rosebud themed interviews going this week and beyond. This week on the show should be very motivational to indie filmmakers and anyone who has had a dream. As I was cutting together this particular episode there was this theme of turning a passion into something real, and using the art of film as a way to bring about healing. I have the director of Aimee, Lee Whitaker; director of the video series She’s Got Grit, Dara Padwo-Audick, director of Trumps Got No Tact, Callison Slater; and no stranger to Picture Lock, Chad Eric Smith, director of Rumination, all on to talk about their films. Get ready to be inspired!
