Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 109- Suki Hawley & Janet Pierson of SXSW Film

Screen Shot 2019-02-22 at 12.23.58 PM.png

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!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 108- Brandon Hairston & Shannon Washington

Happy Friday Folks! I’ve had a little break in the action as I went to the Sundance Film Festival for the first time this year! So I have an interview that I did with director of Native Son, Rashid Johnson, right before the film’s premiere in Park City. Definitely check here for a slew of Sundance movie reviews.

Today I’m talking with two web series creators, Brandon Hairston of Bad Web Series and Shannon Washington of Genereckless. We talk about what inspired their web series and more. The great thing about web series is that you can go check them out right after you listen to this. After, you listen to this ok?

Hey folks! I’m back from Sundance 2019 and the terrible cold I caught coming home from Park City. So I can finally get this After Show out to you.

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!

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 107- Jill Demby Guest & Maxine Trump

Happy Friday folks! Today I’m joined by writer/director/producer Jill Demby Guest of the doc And Now Love and writer/director of the documentary To Kid or Not To Kid, Maxine Trump. Fair warning, I had a little Forrest Gump moment with Maxine’s interview on her first question cut out a bit on the call. I was able to catch another one later, but my apologies. But I’m sure she’ll find it funny as she did get her start in comedy...and that’s all I have to say about that. Plus I have the Picture Lock Question of the week from last week.

Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 105- Top 10 Films of 2018 ft. Dean Rogers

Happy Friday folks! Today I’m joined by Dean Rogers of the Rogers Revue to discuss our top 10 films of 2018. As you can imagine, if you get two film critics in a room to talk best of...it can take a while. So this podcast episode is a little bit longer than the usual, but it’s definitely a good listen. I’ll be the first to admit, I probably could have livened it up with audio clips from films, but so many were missing from the online EPK that I moved forward without them. I’ll make it up to you at some point this year! lol 2018 was a good year for film and we had a lot to talk about! Thanks for listening and supporting!

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!
