Host Jim Kamp speaks with Trish Clark, regional producer in New Haven, Conn. for the 48 Hour Film Project, an international yearly timed competition and the longest-running competition of its kind. The 48 Hour Film Project pits aspiring film and videomakers from across the country and in Europe to a test of rapid fire filmmaking in a whirlwind two days being challenged to develop a story concept, cast, shoot, edit and deliver a short film. The head-spinning race culminates in a night of screening the entries followed by a judging to determine the finalists to see who will advance to the national Filmapalooza festival.

On episode 33 of Full Exposure, we sit down with Boston-based photojournalist and filmmaker Lauren Owens Lambert who documents her passion: the human aspect of conservation and climate change research. Her work focuses on people as a vital part of natural cycles, a perspective that is sometimes lost in contemporary views on climate.

You will learn how volunteers and biologists rescue and rehabilitate tropical sea turtles that wash up on the freezing shores of Cape Cod each winter. You'll also learn how Atlantic salmon are a federally endangered species in the U.S. with the last remaining wild populations found in only eight rivers in Maine, as well as the salmon conservation efforts being conducted across New England: including the removal of dams, the opening of waterways and increasing of buffer zones along rivers.

Lauren's work is seen widely in photographic and conservation publications. Lauren partners with groups such as The Nature Conservancy and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. She has exhibited at Photoville in New York and has presented her work at the United Nations for the Ocean Data Alliance.

On episode 32 of Full Exposure, New York City-based photographer and documentary filmmaker Amy Elliott discusses how persistence and innate curiosity are two elements instrumental in effective non-fiction visual storytelling.

For the past 10 years she's been documenting small towns around North America and showcasing the quirky yet endearing life that connects the town’s residents.

In her 2010 film World's Largest, she traveled around the U.S. documenting 58 of America's largest attractions like the World's Largest Killer Bee in Hidalgo, Texas and efforts to create the World's Largest Lava Lamp in Soap Lake, Washington.

In her latest documentary, Salvage, Amy looks at Yellowknife, Canada where she took repeated treks over the course of 5 years to the remote Northwest Territories to document the curious wonder of the city’s social life surrounding a town dump and struggle to keep it accessible.

Filmmaker Robin Hauser is a proven storyteller of complex topics. In her award-winning documentary, "Code—Debugging the Gender Gap" she examined the dearth of women in computer coding.

Now, in her latest film, "Bias", Robin posits compelling questions: how have primal human survival instincts made racial and gender bias an innate part of ourselves; and with the rise of machine learning, with increasing reliance on AI, can we protect Artificial Intelligence from our inherent biases? Her film is an engrossing exploration and clarion call that will frighten and also enlighten.

Brooklyn-based Barbara Vekarić is an emerging producer, director and writer originally from Croatia. Barbara’s first feature length-film is “Aleksi” – ‘Lazy. Crazy. Sexy.’ – a slice of life comedy set on the bucolic adriatic seaside. The title character is a troubled, aimless twenty eight year-old, jobless after college, living at her parents vineyard while plotting an escape from her safe but mundane upper middle class life.

The bubbly Vekarić discusses her process of story development and journey from literature student to up-and-coming filmmaker on the indy scene; and she discusses her feelings of how character — and location — are even more important to her than story in the success of a narrative film.

Producer-director Jenna Ricker has worked solely in narrative film until now. In “Qualified,” her first non-fiction feature, the film’s subject is a pioneer in motor sports — and feminism — Janet Guthrie, the first woman to compete in the Memorial Day spectacle, the Indianapolis 500.

Janet started out as an aerospace engineer with a longing for flight and a parallel love of motor sports, which in turn steered her into racing on the stock car circuit. In 1977, her passion and skill for auto racing — honed on road tracks like Daytona and Sebring — led her to be enlisted as the first woman to qualify for Indy. This required her to not only be an elite athlete reaching the pinnacle of American auto racing, breaking into one of the last bastions of the male dominated sport, but she also had to endure a barrage of public insults and belittlement; yet she persisted.

“Qualified” is a documentary covering a pivotal moment in U.S. sports history, a gripping and inspiring chronicle of the calm resolve of racer Janet Guthrie.
