Major shoutout to my friend Jason Fraley, WTOP’s Entertainment Editor, for reaching out shortly after George Floyd was murdered. He was coming up with a list of films, but moved aside to make space for someone of color to address the topic. This is the full, uncut interview. No edits.

Happy holidays folks! The new season of Lost In Space finds the Robinsons several months after season one’s final episode ended. They’re stranded on a planet with what seems like no way out. Impossible situations that take intelligence, courage, and the love of family seems to be the norm for the Robinsons this season. I was lucky to talk with some of the cast and crew of the Netflix series! Sit back and enjoy the interviews with Maxwell Jenkins (Will Robinson), Parker Posey (Dr. Smith), writer Zach Estrin, Mina Sundwall (Penny Robinson), Ignacio Serricchio (Don West) and creator Burk Sharpless!

Happy Friday folks! This week I’m joined by WAFCA President, Tim Gordon, to go over the big movies coming out this weekend. One that we don’t get to is the Netflix release “When They See Us” from Ava Duvernay that looks at the Central Park 5. It’s a tough watch but I suggest folks check it out as while it chronicles a dark spot in our recent history, the story is still playing out today. I spoke about it on Let’s Talk Live early today, so be sure to visit picturelockshow.com or follow me on instagram @picturelockshow to see that! What did you think about the films out this week? Let me know!

Happy Friday my people! This week I’m switching things up and letting you hear my reviews of John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum and See You Yesterday as heard on Let’s Talk Live this past Wednesday. Always fun giving my weekly thoughts on what’s out in theaters or streaming into your home with Julie Wright and Kidd O’Shea. So you’ll hear that at the top here. I also saw A Dog’s Journey and I have my two favorite critics give their thoughts on the film. I also have Catherine Dudley-Rose, writer/producer/director of Parallel Chords on to talk about her film. Plus, I have your answers to the question of the week from a couple of weeks ago since we took a week off last week! Tons to cover, but a fun listen!

Happy Friday folks! Last weekend Avengers: Endgame hit theaters and I knew it would be awesome to talk about it with fellow film critics and film lovers The Epic Film Guys! So today I have a crossover episode that’s a whole lot longer than regular Picture Lock episodes, but true fans of the film will love it. The Epic Film Guys have their third annual Live Stream for the Cure coming up this month, so we’ll talk about that first and then get into Endgame. I gotta give a special shoutout to Nick Haskins who did most of the heavy lifting in editing this show! Now I keep the show pretty clean for radio and the podcast, but w/ this cross over I’ve edited the language for the radio edit but the podcast is so long I let it ride after the radio version. Fair warning. Plus, I have your answers to last week’s question of the week!

Happy Friday my peoples! Today I’m talking with Stefon Bristol, the director/co-writer of See You Yesterday. The film made the rounds as a short film and has now been turned into a feature that will play at the Tribeca Film Festival next week to sold out crowds and debut May 17th on Netflix. I have stalked the progress of this film with great pride as the film played during the first DC Black Film Festival and I’ve watched Stefon grind it out. So while you can’t get tickets for Tribeca, let’s support him May 17th for sure! It’s been a minute since I’ve had a trailer reaction, but with Gemini Man dropping this week I figured this would be a good time to do it. Plus, I have your answers to last week’s question of the week!

Happy Friday fam! Today on the show I’m finally putting out my Fall Back Spring Forward Spring 2019 episode. I had Douglas Davidson of Elements of Madness join me to talk about our most and least anticipated films of the spring of this year. We recorded this March 13th, but I’ve had so many time sensitive interviews I haven’t been able to put it out. So some of our picks have already hit theaters but the majority have not. Did we pick some of your favorites? Agree or disagree with our list? Let me know on social! Sit back, relax, press play and enjoy!

Happy Monday folks! I’ve got another great After Show for you with Patrick Shepherd. Typically, the after show is where I ask my guests two questions that cuts straight to great takeaways for how to improve the PR and marketing for your production and they throw one at me. However, since Patrick is more on the film festival side as you heard in Friday’s show, I decided to keep this conversation more focused on how filmmakers can get the most out of film festivals. He gave some great answers. Let me know what you think below or on social! Enjoy!

Happy Friday folks! Filmmakers be sure to get your films in to the DC Black Film Festival as we’re still in the regular call for entries period until the end of this month. I can tell you first hand that you’ll want to be a part of this year’s showcase and we’re cooking up some great stuff for you!
Today on the show I’m talking with Patrick Shepherd, the Associate Director of the Cleveland International Film Festival about what we can expect to see at this year’s festival. The fest takes place March 27th through April 7th and I have a feeling you’ll want to put it on your radar after this interview. I also talk with Sara Zandieh, writer/director of Simple Wedding. We talk about how her mixed heritage influences the films she makes and how it makes a universal impact for film viewers. Fun fact: I recorded with Sara and Patrick at least a month a part and her film will be playing at CIFF. So you’re getting a double preview!

Happy Thursday folks! I’ve got a special Unlocked Episode today. This year I want to do a lot more in using my platform to have tough conversations and continue to make positive social change. With the recent win of Green Book for Best Picture, I think there was an audible moan heard around the world when it was announced. Certainly social media blew up in discussing either disappointment or happiness for the films win. But with some of the discussion being yelling and demeaning back and forths on social media, I wanted to have a calm convo on the subject. So today I’m joined by film critic and WTOP Entertainment Editor Jason Fraley to discuss: What’s Wrong With Liking Green Book?
I’m grateful for Jason joining me to have the discussion as this is a sensitive subject and it’s not always easy to dive into race relations and how we interact with one another. However, he believed in the importance of having this conversation just as much as I did. So it’s a nice conversation between friends and film critics that I think you’ll enjoy.

Happy Friday my people! I was honored to be featured in WTOP’s Black History Month highlighting of black men and women doing groundbreaking work to better the community. Shoutout to Rob Woodfork and Jason Fraley! Check out the link to the article below, but I’m glad that my work with this show and the DC Black Film Festival is making a difference in the community both locally and at large.
Today I talk with co-director and editor of the documentary The Commons, Suki Hawley. The documentary covers students at UNC’s flagship campus in Chapel Hill as they take to the commons to demand the removal of “Silent Sam,” a Jim-Crow-era Confederate statue. With the specter of the Charlottesville tragedy hanging thick in the air, the confrontation takes on a life of its own. I also talk with the director of SXSW Film, Janet Pierson. Janet and I talk about what you can expect to see at this year’s Film Festival and how to best navigate it!

Happy Friday Folks! I’ve had a little break in the action as I went to the Sundance Film Festival for the first time this year! So I have an interview that I did with director of Native Son, Rashid Johnson, right before the film’s premiere in Park City. Definitely check here for a slew of Sundance movie reviews.
Today I’m talking with two web series creators, Brandon Hairston of Bad Web Series and Shannon Washington of Genereckless. We talk about what inspired their web series and more. The great thing about web series is that you can go check them out right after you listen to this. After, you listen to this ok?

Hey folks! I’m back from Sundance 2019 and the terrible cold I caught coming home from Park City. So I can finally get this After Show out to you. I’d meant to post it prior to leaving for Utah, because it was edited and ready to go…it just didn’t make the export somehow! Regardless, here’s a solid After Show episode w/ the multi-talented Marianne Hettinger of Prince Harming! We talk about making sure you have the right team around you, how to find the right distributor for your project and more. Enjoy!

Happy Friday folks! Today I’m joined by writer/director/producer Jill Demby Guest of the doc And Now Love and writer/director of the documentary To Kid or Not To Kid, Maxine Trump. Fair warning, I had a little Forrest Gump moment with Maxine’s interview on her first question cut out a bit on the call. I was able to catch another one later, but my apologies. But I’m sure she’ll find it funny as she did get her start in comedy...and that’s all I have to say about that. Plus I have the Picture Lock Question of the week from last week.

Happy Friday folks! Today I’m joined by Dean Rogers of the Rogers Revue to discuss our top 10 films of 2018. As you can imagine, if you get two film critics in a room to talk best of...it can take a while. So this podcast episode is a little bit longer than the usual, but it’s definitely a good listen. I’ll be the first to admit, I probably could have livened it up with audio clips from films, but so many were missing from the online EPK that I moved forward without them. I’ll make it up to you at some point this year! lol 2018 was a good year for film and we had a lot to talk about! Thanks for listening and supporting!

Happy Friday folks! As of today, Picture Lock is now a 30 minute episode. So I’ve got two amazing filmmakers on the show today. First I talk with the director of North Pole, NY Ali Cotterill. We talk about her film which focuses on Santa’s Workshop, one of the first theme parks in the U.S. battling a changing economy and digital world. I also talk with Amy Adrion, director/producer of Half The Picture. The documentary is about the dismal number of women directors working in Hollywood, but covers successful women directors, their career paths, struggles, inspirations and hopes for the future.
But first, in celebration of Ali’s film, I have my review of Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles. Definitely a winner to watch with the family this season. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the listen!

I’ve got that #mondaymotivation for you with the Picture Lock PR After Show with Roxy Shih! Director Roxy Shih’s Painkillers takes a look at how far someone may go to ease their pain. Roxy and I talk about how far indie filmmakers should go to ensure their films are marketed correctly in post-production. This is a Master Class in asking the right questions, and perhaps unlocking yourself to ask questions about how your film will be treated after it has been acquired!
This After Show is a little longer than most, but it’s definitely worth the listen for all the great information we cover. Thanks for listening and supporting!

Happy Friday folks! I’ve got a super special 100th episode for you guys! I have founder of Indie Film Hustle and Indie Film Hustle TV, Alex Ferrari on the show. We talk about how his love for film burgeoned into an empire along with the launch of his new streaming platform geared to help indie filmmakers. I also talk with Roxy Shih, director of Pain Killers. Roxy is a rock star. We recorded this interview a while back but since then I’ve followed her on Instagram and she dances, plays the violin, directs a film festival, directs movies, and so much more. You’ll definitely want to check out the after show that I had with both my guests next week to keep your Thanksgiving travels fun!
Since this episode will be the one to air prior to Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving! In honor of this monumental episode and the holiday, I have some call-ins sprinkled throughout the show in which folks will list their top 3 Thanksgiving films. But first, Steve McQueen’s Widows hits theaters this weekend and ya’ll...I guarantee your money won’t be wasted if you go!

This particular conversation is about his latest endeavor as the founder of the Mid-Atlantic Studios. I made this particular interview an unlocked episode on the podcast simply because of the nature of it. The Mid-Atlantic Studios is a film studio based in the Mid-Atlantic Region (MD, DC, VA, WV, NC, & SC), conducting 100% of the hiring from the region. It’s their believe that if we band together, we can create a more sustainable environment for filmmaking in the region.
Ron will explain the concept further in the episode, but in short, Ron is currently doing equity crowdfunding to try and create a sustainable way for filmmakers in the region to work year round on projects that they care about. So take a listen and see if you’d like to be involved!

Happy Friday folks! I’m so glad I get to cap off this election week with an episode of personal and political empowerment. I spoke with director Jamielyn Lippman about her documentary “3 Years in Pakistan: The Erik Aude Story”, director Ashley York about her film “Hillbilly”, director Dawn Mikkelson of “Risking Light” and director Norah Shapiro about her doc “Time for Ilhan”. Now the cool thing about “Time for Ilhan” is that it covers Ilhan Omar’s race for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016 which made her the first Somali-American legislator to hold an elected office, and she just became the first Somali-American Muslim to hold a seat in US congress. So congrats to her! But first I’ve got my movie review of a political defeat in “The Frontrunner”, starring Hugh Jackman which hits theaters this weekend.

Happy Monday my people! Director Jenna Laurenzo’s new comedy Lez Bomb hits theaters and VOD this Friday! Jenna and I talked about how she used analytics from her short film to cultivate an audience for her feature.

Happy Friday folks! This week I have a jam packed episode! I talk with Picture Lock contributor Julia Moroles about her love for documentary filmmaking, and her latest documentary. Julia also talked with Gabe Polsky, director of In Search of Greatness about his latest documentary, which is in theaters today! I talk with Chief Instigating Officer, Dan Brawley, of the Cucalorus festival about what we can expect to see next weekend at the festival that is still standing strong in it’s 24th year in Wilmington, NC. Which is awesome because the city was hit hard by Hurricane Florence this year. So mark your calendars for November 7th-11th film lovers!
If my talk with Dan isn’t enough to convince you to check it out, my conversation with one of my new best friends, Jenna Laurenzo surely will. Jenna is the director of Lez Bomb, a hilarious new comedy about coming home and coming out. The film will be playing at the Cucalorus film festival, which is quite coincidental because at the time we recorded, I had no idea! You’ll definitely want to hear the Picture Lock After Show conversation I had with Jenna which I’ll drop Monday on the podcast. It’s packed, but it’s another great episode!

Director Suzi Yoonessi brings light to the somewhat dark subject of sex and love addiction in the film Unlovable. I was really grateful that Suzi was totally transparent in the process of getting the film made in regard to PR & marketing for the film. We also talk about how taking initiative really makes all the difference in the world of indie filmmaking!

Director Sharon Lewis paints a dystopian Caribbean future in her film Brown Girl Begins. It was great talking to her about PR & Marketing for her film as she made it for herself, but also a niche audience. This is a great listen for those who may have a niche film as she had some great insight! Plus I talk about how to get critics to review your film.

Happy Friday folks! This week I have three Film Fatales joining me. I was probably way to eager to speak with founder of the Film Fatales organization, Leah Meyerhoff. We talked about how the organization started and why its existence is necessary in these times. I also talk with director Sharon Lewis about her Afrofuturist film, Black Girl Begins. We talk about the origins of her creating the film and what Afrofuturism is. Finally, I talk with director Suzi Yoonessi about her film Unlovable. I had the pleasure of seeing the film and you can too next week, Nov. 2nd as it has a limited release in theaters!
It was awesome talking with these women directors. You’ll absolutely want to be on the lookout for the Picture Lock PR After Show conversations I had with Sharon and Suzi which will be dropped exclusively on the podcast Monday.

DMV model and actor Nick Gross sets his goals and goes after them. He’s not afraid to ask for what he wants either. Be sure to check out our conversation from this past week’s Picture Lock episode to get his backstory. This is a good after show for the hungry actor, but it applies to all indie filmmakers! Nick talks about how he uses social media to his advantage and what he’s learned he needs to do more of in the future.
The after show is where I ask my guests two questions that cuts straight to great takeaways for how to improve the PR and marketing for your production and they throw one at me. Enjoy!

The Middleburg Film Festival is going on this weekend and I talked w/ the founder and executive director, Sheila Johnson and Susan Koch, about what you can expect to see at one of my favorite fests!

I’ll post the after show segment I had with Nick in which he gave some great tips on how he addresses PR & Marketing with his career on Monday.

Talya Tibbon is an award-winning director, producer, and writer. She’s worked in four continents documenting wide-ranging subjects such as street gangs, mass shooters and those who survive their crimes, and human trafficking. She’s currently in the early production stages of a film about her father and his work identifying soldiers lost in battle. Her most recent film, “Amanpour — On Sex and Love in Berlin,” will aired as part of CNN Originals in early 2018.
It was great to have her on last week’s episode of Picture Lock, and it was awesome to have her stick around for the after show. The after show is where I ask my guests two questions that cuts straight to great takeaways for how to improve the PR and marketing for your production and they throw one at me.
Talya definitely had great insights for her documentary that deals with a niche topic that has to fight against apathy in a big way. So let’s get into the interview w/ Talya, right after this reminder that you can take one of the best online courses out for indie filmmakers in regards to PR and Marketing.

Hey guys. Sorry I missed you last week! Before this Friday’s episode, I wanted to hit you with another unlocked episode. This year during the DC Black Film Festival we screened the documentary United Skates ahead of our Making Black Lives Matter Through Film Panel. You’ve already heard from co-director Dyana Winkler a couple of episodes ago, but I wanted you all to be able to hear the conversation as it was on stage, unedited. The panel was hosted by WHUR's EZ Street and panelists included: Dr. Erica L. James (professor Francis Marion), Damara Catlett (Principal at Raben Group), Reggie Brown (subject in the film), and Tim Gordon (film critic).
Tomorrow, you’ll have the opportunity to see the film during the Congressional Black Caucus if you live in the DC area. The link to the film screening, which is free, is in the show notes. So if I haven’t promoted this film enough, here’s one more opportunity to check it out.

Happy Friday folks! I'm back after a brief rest from the 2018 DC Black Film Festival. (Which was dope) This week on the show, I’ve got the director of “Are You Glad I’m Here” Noor Gharzeddine on the show to talk about the film with an unlikely pairing. Ramaa Mosley, writer/director/producer of “Tatterdamelion”, drops in to talk about her mystery/thriller! If you know any beauty influencers, you’re going to want to listen to my chat with director Tiffany Bartok of “Larger Than Life: The Kevyn Aucoin Story” which highlights the life of the man who was giving beauty tips before Instaglam was a thing! Finally, I talk with producer/director Juliet Lammers about her film “Studios, Lofts, and Jam Spaces” which portrays said locations and what they mean to Montreal based artists. Plus, your Picture Lock Question of The Week from a couple weeks ago is read on the show.

Be sure you catch the unlocked version of our convo by subscribing to the podcast and going back an episode.

I'll talk with director and animator of BP v B, Omar Lewis, about his hand-drawn animation. I'll close with director of The Girl With No Brain, Royce Adkins, who took inspiration from the news and made a cool sci-fi short.

So today I’m speaking with Chad Quinn, writer/director of For The Love of Musiq; Savannah Kopp, writer/producer of The Wedding Scene; Bruce Gorman Jr., writer/producer/director of Thurman Comes Home; and Praheme, writer/director of Stuck.

Happy Friday my peoples! The full line up for the 2nd annual 2018 DC Black Film Festival is up at http://dcbff.org/2018schedule/! Make sure you check it out to find out the films that you can see August 16-18th in Southeast DC at the Miracle Theatre!
Today’s episode is a little manic in a variety of ways. First, I talk with Kalina Bertin, the director/producer of the documentary Manic. It's a film in which she struggles to make sense of the legacy of mental illness wreaking havoc over her siblings’ lives. Then I have an interview with Rachel Wortell, the co-writer/director of the comedy/mystery A Sibling Mystery. The zany thing about our interview is that Rachel was outside when we recorded so the radio and podcast episode is alive w/ the sound of nature! :) Then I talk with Emily Aguilar and Faith Deveaux of the film Clara’s Ultimate Christmas. The only thing manic about that interview is how quickly we had to get everything in...so there’s a couple times I had to edit out us talking over each other...but it’s a great interview. Finally, I talk with Amanda Lundquist, writer/director of Pinsky. What's wild there was how much fun we had talking about making a film w/ a predominately female above the line crew. In fact, it was great talking to all of these women in film!

Happy Friday folks! "Eighth Grade" hits theaters this weekend and I have Picture Lock contributor Richie Wenzler on to give his thoughts on the film. So in the spirit of middle school awkwardness and judging, I have a great line up of interviews for you on the show. I talk with the hilarious Melissa Miller-Costanzo of “All These Small Moments”. We talk about our love for people to be quiet and leave us alone during movies, but more importantly the well received film. I also talk with producer/director Robin Hauser about her documentary film “Bias”. In the film, she puts her own biases on display to explore the nature of implicit bias. Finally, I speak w/ Erika Cohn, producer/director of “The Judge”. The film explores revolves around the first woman appointed to a Shari'a court in the Middle East, whose career provides rare insights into both Islamic law and gendered justice. Plus I've got your answers to the Picture Lock question of the week two weeks ago after missing last week!

Happy Friday folks! This week on the show, I have producer/director/writer/actor Jamie Burton-Oare on to talk about her new film Soulful Steps, which covers one couples love for soul line dancing which led them to create CaliJam, the biggest soul line dance convention on the West Coast. If you live in the DMV area, you can check out the film this Sunday, July 1st at AFI Silver in Silver Spring. I also talk with Darya Zhuk, co-writer/director of Crystal Swan. The film, set in 1996, covers one young woman’s journey to be a professional DJ in the United States despite being derailed by a typo in a forged US Visa that sends her to a backwater small town. For my international listeners, you can see the film this weekend at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic. Finally, I have writer/director/producer Galia Barkol of the film Mia which she starred in. We talk about how life in Israel prompted her to write, direct and star in the film. Plus, The Predator trailer reaction and Picture Lock's question of the week!

Happy Friday folks! I’m really excited about this week’s episode which spans time in regard to the two interviews I have for you, but there was a common thread amongst my guests that I could sum up in one word! Survivor. So I decided, why not do a survivor themed show as I talk with Writer/Producer/Director of Scarapist Jeanne Marie-Spiccuzza and Editor and Chief of Fanbolt, Emma Loggins. Both of these women were a blast to talk with and I just loved their backstory and how they took life's negatives and turned it into something positive as you’ll hear. I've also got my Creed II trailer reaction which is actually different from this video reaction. I've also got the Picture Lock Question of the Week !

Happy Friday folks! I've got an all-new episode of Picture Lock. This week I talk with Sarah Bunting, the founder of Tomato Nation and fellow film critic. We talk about how she stumbled into film and tv reviewing in the age of dial-up which led to being a big voice in the blogosphere. I also talk with Nicole Franklin, co-writer and director of Title VII, a film focused on same-race discrimination in the workplace and so much more. Picture Lock contributor Richie Wenzler and I give our thoughts on the latest Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse trailer that dropped earlier this week.

Happy Friday, and a happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone! A couple of week’s ago I had a bunch of filmmakers from the 2018 DC APA Film Festival talk about their film’s and somehow I let one interview slip through the cracks. So I have my interview w/ Vyvy Nguyen of Starbucks Lovers that I think you’ll enjoy. (My bad Vyvy!) Also, I have the director/producer of Harmione Granger and the Quarter Life Crisis, Eliyannah Amirah Yisrael. We talk about how she took her love for fan fiction into creating the cool web series. Finally, I have my colleague from the North Carolina Film Critic’s Association, Douglas Davidson, drop by to talk about his site Elements of Madness and other film nerd stuff.

This unlocked episode features my full conversation with John “Dr. Teeth” Tucker. John is a legend in hip hop music videos and has continued to evolve his career into narrative film now. “Pas Honteux” is his first venture into the scene and it’s a memorable entre. In this full interview, we dive deeper into his time directing music videos and capturing an era and culture of southern hip-hop and how that helped him be a visual storyteller. We also dig deeper into Pas Honteux. If you’re a listener that's never heard of “Dr. Teeth”, go google him, catch up and enjoy. If you have heard of him, you’ll certainly get a kick out of this interview. Either way, it was a great conversation and I think you’ll enjoy hearing from an experienced filmmaker.

This unlocked episode features my full conversation with Erik Kristopher Myers! Erik, in my opinion, is changing the game in the found footage horror genre with his new film “Butterfly Kisses”. It’s currently on the Film Festival circuit and has been doing well with audiences. I honestly feel like if you haven’t seen the film, you should hold off on this episode until you have because we do discuss spoilers after the first portion that aired for radio. I only say this, because it’s best to see this film with fresh eyes. So I’m giving fair warning. However, for those of us who have seen it, this interview will be a real treat as you’ll get to hear from the man himself about the things that went into creating this film.
