Welcome to episode 10 of "The Chosen Creative Podcast"! My 2023 Entertainment Favorites (that nobody asked for). I talk about my favorite films, television shows and books I discovered in 2023! Some favs I forgot to mention: Ted Lasso, The Bear, The Silent Patient, and The Housemaid. Enjoy & please leave me recommendations for my 2024 watch/read list!

Today on The Chosen Creative Podcast, Marlee talks with Shama Mrema about how to get connected in the film industry and how to find your niche (and how to pronounce it). 

Shama Mrema is an African-born American-raised host, actor, comedian, and part-time musical artist. After taking the internet by storm in 2018 with his viral song “Veggie Tales Remix,” he has been a dominant force in comedy and entertainment. 

Known for his hilarious characters, top-notch music, and fantastic stand-up comedy, Shama has entertained the internet for the past decade and gained over 275,000 combined followers across social media. But he insists that his most important role in life is as a husband and father to his wife, Grace, and his two kids, Ezra and Zoey.
