It's been a while since I've done an unlocked episode, so I'm excited to share this one! This unlocked episode is a bit less about film and film criticism as usual and is a conversation I had with my best bud, host of Media on The Radio and owner of Wait What Pro, Devin Gallagher. About three years ago we started recording an annual conversation about where we are in life with our careers. It serves as both a way for us to gauge growth over the year and something to look back on as far as where we were. It’s something about the journey to a dream or goal that we felt never gets talked about. So we decided to go public with this year’s conversation. I think you’ll totally enjoy it!

This weekend you can check out the new sci-fi film, Annihilation, directed by Alex Garland and starring Natalie Portman. It’s a mind-bending thrill ride with a female-centric cast, which is awesome! Check out my review below for my thoughts. I have interviews w/ both Alex and Natalie. Keeping the theme of powerful females going, I also have interviews with some awesome Film Fatales. I have director Shaz Bennet of Alaska is A Drag, Jill Campbell, director of Mr. Chibbs, Dorie Barton, director of Girl Flu, and Catherine Eaton, director of The Sounding.

This weekend, Black Panther (my review is linked) is going to demolish the box office. I’ve been holding in my thoughts on the film since I saw it last Friday and I can’t wait to share them with you soon on air.  Today’s show is front loaded with Black Panther to help you get pumped for seeing the film this weekend. I’ve got an interview with the film’s star, Chadwick Boseman. Then I talk with the legendary costume designer Ruth Carter who did the costumes for this film. We had a one on one conversation that was absolutely awesome. After my one on one with Ruth you’ll be able to hear the round table Q&A I sat in with Ruth and Producer of Black Panther, Nate Moore. Now, after you check out Black Panther in theaters this weekend, if you live in the DC area you may be interested in seeing The Rainbow Experiment at the DC Independent Film Festival. I talked with Christina Kallas, the writer/director of the film, and After the break, stay tuned to hear what she had to say on her approach to multi-perspective filmmaking. It’s a full episode folks!

That's a wrap for the 2018 Rosebud Film Festival! I'm zapped, but it was a fun time at the movies and beyond this past weekend. So I'm a little late in posting this, but I wanted to get it up as soon as I could.

This week on the show I have director of Silent Sentinel, Joe Dzikiewicz; director of The Sandman, Lauren Knapp; director and writer of Footprints in the Sand, Jeffrey Johnson & Jacob Basri; director of The Importance of Finding The Other, Marcey Frutchey; and the director of Last of The Manson Girls, Lonnie Martin. This is a fun listen as these directors shared some insights I don’t think you’ll hear anywhere else.

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!

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.
