The Inthrive Film Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that features films directed by formerly incarcerated people. Kenneth Hunter performed spoken word poetry at the festival on opening night. He sits down with producer, Matt Darroch, to share his experience in the prison system and his thoughts on what the Inthrive movies mean to him. And: We lose so much of what makes us human in prison. Privacy, personal possessions - and most importantly, freedom - all get stripped away. But Zoe Spencer says there's still humanity behind bars. Plus: Gary Cuddeback and Courtney Holmes co-direct Project Belong. Collaborating with the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, Project Belong helps young people who've been recently released from juvenile corrections facilities reintegrate back into society. Later in the show: In 1994, Kemba Smith Pradia was sentenced to 24 and a half years in prison for drug crimes committed by her ex-boyfriend. She's a survivor of mandatory minimum sentencing, an extension of the war on drugs and mass incarceration. She spoke with my Virginia Humanities colleague, Yahusef Medina, about Kemba - her recently released movie based on her inspiring life, now streaming on BET+.

That doesn't make it an easy transition, though! The business of offering films to your clients is totally different from the business of offering still images. If you've ever considered adding films to your repertoire - or if it's something that you've tried and had a hard time making it work - then today's conversation is going to be a great one for you.LINKS:Download Courtney's Free Guide: Getting Started with Films on Your CameraCheck out the Filming Life AcademyWatch Courtney's Showreel (pro tip: have tissues ready)Sign up for the Simple Sales Masterclass where Annemie teaches the 6 steps to running a profitable, sustainable photography business you love.

Allison Redmon booked herself solid using fun, easy workshops in a small town in Saudi Arabia! Pretty cool, right? I learned real quick that Allison is also wicked talented in doing family films. She's working as the Academy Manager for the Filming Life Academy, an online filmmaking school founded by Courtney Holmes that opened Spring of 2018 too. She's also put her formal Bachelors and Masters in Music Education to great use by hosting the Discover the Power of Music & Audio for Family Films Masterclass at the Filming Life Academy. In this convo, we cover: Allison's shooting workflow + business process. I was curious how long she needs to shoot for a film that ends up being 3-4 minutes long and how she manages both filming AND shooting stills with her clients - Allison gives us a great look at it all The power of music: how it can be a beautiful tool to strengthen the experience your clients have with their film, Allison's Masterclass, and where Allison buys her music All the workshop goodness: Why PPW + why teaching was a no-brainer for Allison. Allison's story on becoming booked out - that's right, booked solid - using workshops The power of workshops evolving from your inner circle to an outer network of warm strangers What Allison's been doing to keep her workshop students engaged AFTER the workshop A SMART strategy in your promo photos for your workshops Full Show Notes: http://www.fearlessandframed.com/023
Nicole Tanner, Linda Breneman, and Stephen Duetzmann are joined by Courtney Holmes as we take a dive into the world of toys-to-life. Will parents keep putting up with the expensive starter packs every year? Is the power of kids big enough to keep it afloat? We offer "thoughts and feelings" on this as well as whether Star Fox Zero is ready for release, if E3 is dying, and the downside of stealing art. As always, we also talk about what we're playing.
It's back to school time in our part of the country, and this week we're full of nostalgia about our favorite parts of going back to school (cute Trapper Keepers and lunchboxes, of course!). We also bring you the story of Courtney Holmes, a barber in Dubuque, Iowa who's making back to school a little easier for low-income families. He's offering free trims to kids with just one stipulation: They have to read to him while he cuts their hair. Doc is going back to school this month too, returning after her sabbatical to her position at the University of Louisville. UofL was recently named the most LGBT-friendly college in the South. We love the atmosphere of acceptance on campus, but wonder why coverage never seems to include the student activists and professors who make the school welcoming for LGBTQ students of color. And Kelly Osbourne, last mentioned here when Giulia Rancic said Zendaya's dreads probably smelled like patchouli and weed, is back in our newsfeeds this week. She was co-hosting The View, when the conversation turned to Donald Trump and his anti-immigrant positions. Osbourne said, "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?" Rosie Perez and other co-hosts were quick to object, while the audience seemed stunned into silence, and Osbourne was quick to back pedal, saying "Come on, you know I would never mean it like that." "She probably considers herself to be an ally to people of color," Jai says. "[But} true allyship comes in your ability to say, you know what? I messed up. And I apologize. As opposed to saying, 'But I'm one of the good guys!'" And finally, there was progress this in the case of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who's refusing to issue any marriage licenses because she says she's religiously opposed to same-sex marriage. On Wednesday, a federal judge ordered Davis to start issuing licenses again. But on Thursday, she was still refusing to comply, citing her intention to appeal. WFPL's State Capitol Bureau Chief, Ryland Barton, joined us this week to talk about what could happen next, and help parse out some of the technical aspects of the conflict.
In this episode Nicole Tanner, Linda Breneman, Simone de Rochefort, and Courtney Holmes reflect on the life of Nintendo's fourth president, Satoru Iwata, who passed away last week. Iwata saw some of the biggest developments in gaming during his lifetime, and he always acted with grace and kindness.
