When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self.

This week, the amazing and talented actor/filmmaker Bryan G. Thompson is my guest on the show. I'm honored to have him join me to talk about his new action drama CLUTCH, in which he stars as an ex-police investigator - named Clutch - who's driven to solve a complicated unsolved case that's troubled him for years: the kidnapping of several young women by wealthy and dangerous human traffickers. Reluctantly teaming up with a new partner in detective Angel (played by Jamiah Dancil), Clutch and Angel search for the missing victims of those traffickers - including Angel's niece - while Clutch's search for redemption puts both himself and the success of his and Angel's case at incredible risk. Bryan wrote and co-produced the movie, which is now streaming on Tubi and Amazon Video, and it is a sequel to his earlier film, DIRT, which introduced the Clutch character.

Composer Elena Maro's unsettling avant-garde/jazz hybrid soundtrack for director Ferguson Sauvé-Rogan's 1950's-set drama Carriage Return powerfully surrounds the on-screen conflict between a lazy, writer's block-afflicted playwright Lane Williams (played by Jeremy Parr) and his outraged ex-writing partner Charlie Marlow (played by Carlos Sanchez), who accuses his former collaborator of stealing his creative ideas and using them for his most recent theatrical success in an angry confrontation that challenges the emotions - and the futures - of both men. As unpredictable as the film's storyline is, Maro's score for it is even more so, and its fusion of brass section and saxophone with non-big band jazz percussion and experimental sounds - including those that mimic the typewriter itself - brilliantly and hauntingly accompanies a movie where neither its characters nor the unusual situation they're stuck in are what they seem to be. Directed by Ferguson and written and produced by his brother Daniel - who also played bass guitar on Maro's score - Carriage Return premiered this past July at the LA Shorts International Film Festival in Los Angeles, and Maro's music from the movie is now streaming on various platforms. (By the way, the movie is named after the “carriage return” key on a typewriter that allows you to go back to the far end of a page and begin typing new words.)

Peer pressure. Bullying. Family troubles. The need to overachieve. Depressed and overwhelmed by these problems, many teenagers try to solve them not through therapy and medication but through illicit narcotics, alcohol, criminal recklessness, self-harm and, sadly, suicide. However, numerous organizations, parents, teen survivors of suicide attempts and mental health experts are combating the suicide crisis. So too are amazing filmmakers like our guest on this week’s Viewfinder Podcast, Ashley Rae Harper. Her award-winning short film RED, which she wrote, produced and directed, portrays the ordeal of an embattled adolescent - Billie, played by Chloe Hulgan - who’s hospitalized after her distraught mother and father find that she’s tried to end her life. While in treatment, Billie learns not just about the value of living but also about the value of seeking help for her problems - no matter how impossible they may be to solve. RED is available to stream on Harper’s YouTube channel, and you can find the link to it in the notes for this week’s show. Before you watch it, though, please remember that it may be too triggering for certain audiences, and if you or someone you love is at risk of suicide, please call or text the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline immediately at 9-8-8. That’s 9-8-8. They can help save your life and the lives of those you care about. I’m honored to welcome Ashley Rae Harper to the Viewfinder Podcast to discuss this important project and how it will help both teens and their families.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedOn this week’s show I’m honored and proud to bring you my conversation with an actor, producer and inspirational speaker whose story is one of the most inspiring you’ll hear. His name is Charles D. Clark. He’s appeared on such primetime TV hits as the Fox drama Empire, which co-starred Terrence Howard as hip-hop king Lucious Lyon, whose once-incarcerated ex-wife Cookie (played by Taraji P. Henson) aims to reclaim her piece of their music dynasty, and whose three sons - Jamal (played by Jussie Smollett), Hakeem (played by Bryshere Gray a.k.a. Yazz the Greatest) and Andre (played by Trai Byers) - compete to take over that dynasty from their legendary yet intimidating father. On Empire, Charles played the brutal enforcer/right hand man to Lucious Lyon’s friend and associate, Shyne (played by Xzibit). Empire is also where I and millions of fans - including an amazing online community called The Empire Addicts, of which I am a proud member - first became familiar with Charles’ incredible talent. Aside from Empire, Charles has also appeared on other popular shows like House of Cards and Power Book IV: Force, and in several true crime documentary series such as Relatively Evil, The Perfect Suspect, Who Killed Jane Doe?, Copycat Killers and What Really Happened. He’s worked in small independent films such as the psychological prison thriller Volkov Origin, which he also co-produced, plus big projects like Charm City Kings (co-produced by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith), Harriet (starring Cynthia Orivo), and the Oscar-nominated biopic Rustin (starring Colman Domingo). Yet his success didn’t come without struggle, and from that struggle has now come a career - and a life - that he is incredibly proud of.

Today I'm honored to welcome actor and filmmaker Anike Tourse - the writer, director and co-star of AMERICA'S FAMILY, a new movie that probes America's harsh immigration policy and its impact on the country's undocumented immigrant community through the struggles and resilience of the Diaz family: a family whose lives are suddenly altered when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities arrest mother Marisol (played by Tourse) and deport one of her three sons, Koke (played by Ricardo Cisneros). Fearing deportation himself, Marisol’s husband and the family’s patriarch, Jorge (played by Mauricio Mendoza), turns to a local synagogue for shelter. As Marisol, Jorge and Koke contemplate their futures, the Diazes’ second oldest son, lawyer Emiliano (played by Emmanuel Lopez Alonso) confronts both a cruel legal system and overwhelming bureaucracy as he fights to bring his mother, father and oldest brother home. Once Koke is sent back to Mexico, the stage is soon set for his emotional reunion with his grandmother/Marisol’s mother (played by Dionicia Alvarado Hernandez). Meanwhile the Diazes’ youngest sibling, Valentina (played by Jailine Arias) reaches out to the social media world for support and guidance as she and her family encounter the greatest crisis they've had to endure: one that proves both their emotional strength and their love for each other. America’s Family is now available to stream on various digital and on-demand platforms, and is also available on DVD. For more information on the film, including ways you can share it with your community and use it to campaign for immigrants' rights, visit its official web site at: https://www.americasfamilymovie.com The film was produced in partnership with immigrant rights organization CHIRLA (the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights).

This week, I’m honored to welcome Sarah Beim, the creator of the new LGBTQ dystopian thriller cataclysm.begins. Directed by Katherine Filiseta, the series is set in a world where a faceless but oppressive religious government called The Conclave mandates personal conformity and all but outlaws disagreement with its rule, the series - which is currently raising funds for its proof-of-concept pilot episode on Seed&Spark - co-stars Aria Martinez and Amiere A. Bell as queer teenage siblings Catalina and Xavien Maevery. After the death of their wealthy politician father, Catalina and Xavien are now tended to by his longtime colleague Helena Knightengale (played by Ami Sheth), a de facto parental figure to the siblings, and given her ties to the Conclave, a possible threat to their lives after a recording of a supposedly private quarrel between Catalina and Xavien regarding their civil rights is suddenly exposed. Affected by both their sexuality and social class, Catalina, Xavien, Catalina’s friend Lennon (played by Bug Johnson), Xavien’s boyfriend Noah Archwell (played by Sam Vukic) confront the daily repression of their freedoms and their loves while attempting to survive an anti-government uprising that could liberate them if it succeeds - or make their suffering worse if it fails.

Directed by Matthew Mishory, the emotional and picturesque documentary film Fioretta is both about a father and son’s incredible search for their family’s ancestry and about how that quest links both the generationally different men - and their heritage - in extraordinary ways. Mishory's cameras accompany avid genealogist and acclaimed lawyer Randol Schoenberg, who in 2004 represented Austrian refugee Maria Altmann as she sued her homeland's government for ownership of 5 beloved Gustav Klimt paintings that the Nazis robbed from her family before World War II. That case was dramatized in the 2015 film Woman in Gold , with Ryan Reynolds playing Schoenberg and Helen Mirren in the role of Altmann. Following Randy is his 18-year-old son Joey, a studying chef who prior to journeying with his father has little knowledge of or interest in investigating his family's 500 years-long history. Their biggest objective: to learn about and discover the final resting place of their oldest relative, Fioretta - the wife of Rabbi Elijah Menachem Halfon, who in the 16th century was one of several rabbis consulted about the divorce between Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Both descendants of famed classical composer Arnold Schoenberg, Randy and Joey discover some of the most revealing facts about their family's past plus incredible physical evidence of their ancestors’ existence in several centuries-old artifacts during the present-day Schoenbergs’ visits to museums, cemeteries and other landmarks throughout Austria, the Czech Republic and Italy. Assisted by a knowledgeable and caring collection of local historians and family members, Randy and Joey learn not just about who they are and how their family's heritage has defined them but they also gain something equally valuable: a greater connection to themselves and their roots. I'm honored to welcome Matthew and Randy to discuss Fioretta now on this week's Viewfinder Podcast.

1 Episode 104 - Kate Madison, Christopher Dane and Neil Oseman Talk Season 2 of REN: THE GIRL WITH THE MARK 37:54
Joining me on this week’s show are three of the brilliant minds behind the acclaimed fantasy web series REN: THE GIRL WITH THE MARK - co-creators Kate Madison and Christopher Dane, and showrunner Neil Oseman. The internationally popular series’ first season, which debuted in 2016 and has racked up as many fans as it has awards, is now approaching its second season with more adventures, more action, and a new actor (Oriana Charles) in the title role of an ordinary villager whose sudden scarring by an ancient spirit transforms her into both a powerful warrior and an enemy to her community. In season 1, Sophie Skelton (who’s now starring in another hit fantasy series, OUTLANDER), played Ren, while Dane co-starred as Ren’s mentor Karn. Season 2 of REN will premiere sometime next year, and scripts for its third season are already being prepped. Now on the Viewfinder Podcast, I’m honored to welcome Kate, Chris and Neil to discuss how the second season of this extraordinary project - produced and shot on a low budget like its first season but possessing amazingly high quality - was re-birthed after several years of dormancy.

Continuing the review of the 2023 Louisiana Film Prize, I'm honored to bring you my chat with this year’s winner of the event’s Best Performance award: actor Cheryl Shelton, the star of writer/director Monique Derouselle's grand prize-winning short THE CANDY LADY. In that film, Cheryl plays the titular candy lady - here named Debra. When she's not serving sweets and treats to her neighbors from her home-based shop, Debra is an imaginative yet creatively stumped author who - thanks to her enormously powerful typewriter - unexpectedly sees her page-bound characters go from words on crumpled-up paper to flesh-and-blood realities in her very own home with zany results.

1 Episode 102 - CAUGHT ON TAPE Directors Chris Alan Evans and Alexander Jeffery (2023 Louisiana Film Prize) 24:47
For the third straight year, The Viewfinder Podcast is thrilled to bring you a recap of the annual Louisiana Film Prize. Held each October in Shreveport, and with a brilliant series of short films and filmmakers competing for the event's grand prize of $25,000, the 2023 edition of Film Prize again showcased the excellence and talent of the Pelican State's independent film community. In this year's top 5 films is CAUGHT ON TAPE, directed and co-written by Chris Alan Evans and Prize Fest veteran Alexander Jeffery, and co-starring Finnegan Collins as Finn, a teenager who constantly stumbles every time he tries to verbally express his feelings for his would-be girlfriend (played by Carolanne Adams). With his friends advising him that watching X-rated movies will boost his confidence, Finn discovers a well-hidden porno tape at the home of his dad (played by Evans). Though mesmerized at first, Finn ultimately learns that unlike the fake and way-too-mature sexual foreplay he watches on TV, there’s nothing that compares to real romance and human companionship.
