Producers' Happy Hour

In this episode...
We jump back in time again to our original Episode 2. This is another pre-Covid episode. We were brand new to podcasting, and we were on the hunt for what it means and what it takes to be a “good” producer.

We interview Cheryl Ward, a Content Production Consultant at BBS with a 20+year career in film and advertising production.

Today we are jumping in our time machine and going back to the top of the year when we recorded our original Episode 2. This is pre-Covid. We were brand new to podcasting, and we were on the hunt for what it means and what it takes to be a “good” producer.

We interview Emily Plunket Fleischer a film industry pro who worked her way from PA to Producer, and worked with some of the biggest names in the business. She is now in-house at Verizon, using those skills as a production consultant and we got some valuable insight into that world.

André M. Zachery is a Chicago bred and now Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist, scholar, and technologist with a BFA from Ailey/Fordham University and MFA in Performance & Interactive Media Arts from CUNY/Brooklyn College. He choreographed and shot this amazing video:

Just Past and Beyond:
https://vimeo.com/409295769

Just Past and Beyond is a dance film responding to not being able to physically connect with our elders, who play a vital role in our communities as holders of knowledge and builders of legacy. As much as we need their guidance in our lives, they need to see our passion and possibility. Not being able to connect with them during this time hurts us all.
