Chicana Directors Initiative Founder & Latina Superhero Comic Creator Kayden Phoenix. May 21, 2021

Show notes

Kayden Phoenix is a Chicana Writer, Director, Producer as well as the Creator of the Latina superhero comic universe, A La Brava. She also founded the Chinana Directors Initiative, which y'all should follow in Instagram. Upon entering show biz, the first thing she noticed was the industry dominated standard- complete with character generalizations. In response, she became a huge advocate for diversity both in front and behind the camera, giving a voice to stories untold. So cool to chat w Kayden and see how she's actively helping to even the playing field for the under-represented through her unique and diverse filmmaking. "A big part of my life's purpose is to give voice to stories as multifaceted, atypical, and diverse as the people we find in the real world."

Writer/Director/Star of Slamdance Hit "The Sleeping Negro" Filmmaker Skinner Myers. May 05, 2021

Show notes

Writer/Director Skinner Myers is an award-winning filmmaker and film professor at Loyola Marymount University. Skinner wrote and directed four short films: Chimera, The Last Supper, Obscured, and Nigger, while studying film at USC School of Cinematic Arts. I reached out to Skinner after seeing "The Sleeping Negro" at Slamdance 2021. "Confronted with a series of racially charged incidents, a young black man must overcome rage, alienation, and hopelessness in order to find his own humanity."

Click here for the trailer. The writer/director says he used a "narrative/experimental" approach to filmmaking.

Skinner and I talk filmmaking, his path to directing and how he made this film, of course. Then we venture into a very real discussion of racism in America, racial inequality, and more heavy stuff that needs to be discussed. I know you'll appreciate Skinner's POV.

Filming Commercials Remotely With Agency Creative Directors Dan Councilor and Tom Topolewski. Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

Leo Burnett Detroit Creative Directors Dan Councilor and Tom Topolewski discuss shooting remotely from the agency perspective. I'd shot Buick with the team (Dan is an Art Director and Tom a copywriter) in February again for the NCAA March Madness, but this time Tom watched the camera feed via zoom and facetimed with us. Dan had his boots on the ground. Now, I love having the creatives with me on set. The energy and ideas bounce around more fluidly. What practices will stick as the pandemic dies down? (Read about our collab here.)

Fun fact: Dan & Tom have created some of your favorite Oso Delicious Hot Sauce ads on Instagram. Jake's Patreon patrons get special tips from the gents on what they love in a director's treatment.
