Carry The Lantern episodes

  • Yale Film Prof. Marc Lapadula

    Screenwriting Professor Marc Lapadula loves PSYCHO, THE GRADUATE, WINTER'S BONE and Roy Batty in BLADE RUNNER.  But there are more stories and characters he wants to see onscreen.  And a wider variety of people making and starring in them.  He joins Lady Eleonor to talk about the best of what is and what should be - in film - including social justice. 

    Marc is a Senior Lecturer in the Film Studies Program at Yale University. He is a playwright, screenwriter and an award-winning film producer. In addition to Yale, Marc has taught at Columbia University’s Graduate Film School, created the screenwriting programs at both The University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins where he won Outstanding Teaching awards and has lectured on film, playwriting and conducted highly-acclaimed screenwriting seminars all across the country at notable venues like The National Press Club, The Smithsonian Institution, The Commonwealth Club and The New York Historical Society.

    Here's a link to the Tennessee Williams' essay THE CATASTROPHE OF SUCCESS Marc mentioned.  https://genius.com/Tennessee-williams-the-catastrophe-of-success-annotated

    Here's to Marc and Mrs. Robinson.

  • A GIRL CALLED ALICE

    A GIRL CALLED ALICE tells a story of my closest friend in the East Village of New York City. Alice is the inspiration for Carry The Lantern, a podcast about life, light, loss, love and the stories we tell about all of them.  Alice loved many things but she passionately loved music and this song above all reminds me of her.  

    New Gold Dream by Simple Minds  https://youtu.be/N85mtGZ9JkY

    New gold dream

    She's the one in front of me, siren and the ecstasy
    New gold dream
    Crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me
    New gold dream

    She is your friend until the bitter end

    She is your friend until the ocean breaks

    It is an honor to dedicate Carry The Lantern to Alice.  

    In future episodes, I'll talk with screenwriters, storytellers, filmmakers & thinkers about how story functions in fiction and in our lives. 

    Dream in the Dream with Me. Love, Eleonor
