On this episode of VIE Speaks: Conversations with Heart & Soul podcast, host Lisa Marie Burwell, VIE’s CEO/editor-in-chief spoke with photographer, filmmaker and creative, Mark Little. 

Lisa and Mark reflect on his start into photography which came when Mark's first child was born. He's had a hand in all types of photography such as food, portrait and architecture. The transition into videography was somewhat seamless and Mark credits that to having started in photography first. Mark's catalog in videography and filmmaking is just as extensive. From E.F. San Juan's video series, Real Wood, to working as the Director of Photography for the documentary film, Jackie Cochran. Mark is now filming commercial productions for some of the biggest brands like Porsche, Wall Street Journal and HGTV to name a few. Mark blends the art of photography and the power of videography to create stunning, soul-filled content that speaks louder than words!

In this episode of VIE Speaks: Conversations with Heart & Soul, our host, VIE Editor-In-Chief Lisa Burwell, sits down with Stephanie Harlowe. Stephanie is a documentarian and a true crime YouTube creator who began her journey in 2017. Stephanie's goal from the very beginning was to give a voice to those who were silenced. Her passion first manifested in the interest of learning about history and storytelling. Her YouTube channel did not initially take off, but was a gradual process. When covering the Madeleine McCann story, thanks to the algorithm and luck, she saw her channel gaining traction. Stephanie was always focused on finding her audience, her voice and making sure every story, big or small was told. But what was evident from the start was her passion to help others. At the Redfish Film Festival, Stephanie featured Strange and Unusual: The Montauk Project. The story is based on rumors surrounding US Navy air base, Camp Hero. Allegedly, they conducted experiments and attempted to use supernatural or psychic means to make ships invisible to radar.

In this episode of VIE Speaks: Conversations with Heart & Soul, our host, VIE editor Jordan Staggs, sits down with Brett Whitcomb. Brett is part of a documentary filmmaker team with Bradford Thomason. Brett's catalog oscillates between archive-rich nostalgic portraits of pop culture, compelling stories of female empowerment, and observational snapshots of under-explored cultures. Brett's film "The Spirit of Halloweentown" showed at the Redfish Film Festival. The Disney Channel Original Movie “Halloweentown” was filmed in St. Helens, Oregon, and Whitcomb's film is an observational portrait of St. Helens 25 years later focusing on its residents as they transform the town and navigate their inescapable identity. Brett also shares tips for aspiring documentarians, hoping to inspire the next generation of filmmakers.

In this special Redfish Film Festival episode of VIE Speaks, host and VIE editor-in-chief Lisa Marie Burwell sits down with documentary filmmaker Carrie Lederer to discuss her recent film, Wild Horses at the Door. As part of the Redfish Film Fest 2025 lineup, this movie brought the heartfelt and harrowing story of John Wayne Smith to the screen. Thank you, Carrie, for sharing this story and being a guest on VIE Speaks!

About Wild Horses at the Door

Coloradoan John Wayne Smith was homeless for eight years, working through recovery, when he resettled himself off-grid on a high desert mesa where wild horses roamed. A wounded pregnant mare showed up at his door, and John nursed her back to health, later delivering her foal, which he affectionately named Blizzard. The profound bond set into motion an unexpected healing journey into the wonderful world of wild horses.

Four years later, we meet John, who coexists with several bands of mustangs that he has come to know intimately in a way few people have experienced. Living with a hundred wild horses and a mule has given him an alternative path versus a system that he felt was not serving him; however, living the life of a rugged individualist alone on a mesa presents its own set of challenges, even for someone named after tough guy John Wayne. John also eventually realizes that the resource scarcity he was familiar with when he was homeless may threaten his beloved mustangs.

VIE Speaks was thrilled to host a special podcast pop-up studio at the Redfish Film Festival in Downtown Panama City, Florida, on April 26, 2025. In this special episode, VIE Speaks host/ VIE founder and editor-in-chief Lisa Marie Burwell sits down with Redfish Film Fest founder/director Kevin Elliott to discuss all things Redfish! This documentary film festival, celebrating its second year in 2025, was the culmination of many years of dreaming and envisioning a place and gathering of creatives from around the world, artists, chefs, craftspeople, and more. Kevin’s goal of bringing world-class art and culture to his hometown of Panama City has led him and his team to discover that there is already an incredible array of art in the area and people who want to be involved. Bringing those local creatives together with filmmakers and visitors from the US and beyond has been a challenging and rewarding journey—and it’s only the beginning!

In this very special conclusion to Season 4 of VIE Speaks: Conversations with Heart & Soul, we had the pleasure of hosting Pastor Jane Hamon, an international minister, pastor, apostle, author, and speaker. She and her husband, Tom, are the founders of Vision Church in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida—which also functions as the headquarters for Christian International, a network of over five thousand global churches united by the Gospel. Jane and Lisa reflect on 30+ years of friendship, leading the conversation with love, respect, and admiration for the Lord.

Tune in to discover how Jane ministered in 80+ countries, how she overcame adversity as a female pastor, and her perspectives on how to come together as a united world in a time of polarization. She also shares more about spreading the transformative power of God’s word through her seven books—a 30-year process beginning with "Dreams & Visions" and most recently, "Confronting the Thief of Your Divine Purpose."

We hope this conversation brings levity to your heart and reminds you of your divine potential. Enjoy!
