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! 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!  Check out the Epic Film Guys here: http://www.epicfilmguys.com/ In Theaters/Streaming This Week reviews: Let’s Talk Live what to watch this weekend review: https://wjla.com/news/lets-talk/kevin-sampson-tells-us-movies-we-should-watch-this-weekend The Intruder review: http://picturelockshow.com/new-releases/2019/4/30/the-intruder-stellar-suspense-dumb-decisions UglyDolls review: http://picturelockshow.com/new-releases/2019/5/3/uglydolls-review-bless-its-ugly-wittle-heart Picture Lock Links: Take my PR For The Indie Filmmaker online course here: https://indiefilmpr.thinkific.com/ Get a partner as passionate as you in your film or film event's publicity: www.picturelockpr.com Subscribe to this podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kevin-sampsons-picture-lock/id639359584?mt=2 Be sure to visit www.picturelockshow.com for everything Picture Lock!

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.

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.

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 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!

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.Find And Now Love here: https://www.andnowlovethemovie.com/Check out To Kid or Not To Kid here: https://www.tokidornottokid.com/Picture Lock Links:Take my PR For The Indie Filmmaker online course here: https://indiefilmpr.thinkific.com/Get a partner as passionate as you in your film or film event's publicity: www.picturelockpr.comSubscribe to this podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kevin-sampsons-picture-lock/id639359584?mt=2Be sure to visit www.picturelockshow.com for everything Picture Lock!

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.

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.
