Sit Down for Reel

Female characters in film have gone from two dimensional objects for the men on screen to the directors and producers of their films. We still have a long way to go for true equality- both on screen and on set. Tell us about your favorite actress, female director, or female led film and then join us for a discussion about women in film.

Hello everyone, 

This episode is dedicated to the life and career of Chadwick Boseman. From playing heroes such as Thurgood Marshall and Jackie Robinson to playing the Black Panther, Chadwick embodied much of what the black community stood for. His roles were impactful beyond belief and he carried himself in a way that made you want to listen to the stories he told. For this episode, Mason and Dylan speak on his career and some of the impact he had while other speakers (Imari, Kimea, Kevin, and Khari) express their thoughts on what Chadwick meant to them. 

Rest in Peace

If you're a writer starting out or an experienced storyteller looking to brush up on your basics a good place to start is the Hero's Journey. Join us as we do our best to explain this often copied and reinvented formula for compelling story. There are exceptions to every rule in writing, but before you go breaking the norm, exploring the hero's journey can help any storyteller better understand how to form a compelling beginning, middle, and end for the stories they hope to tell.
