This past weekend the little town that built a dam, that would be Boulder City, Nevada, held its 15th annual Dam Short Film Festival. That's right. Boulder City, that tiny town 30 minutes outside of Las Vegas, has a film festival that also ranks as one of the top film festivals in the world! I know, I was shocked as well. Before it all got going, I had some time to talk with a wonderful lady named Fetalina. Short for Tsvetalina Stefanova. She is the director of development for the Dam Short Film Festival. The interview was held inside the historic Boulder Theater. This building was built in 1931 and for many years, this was the ONLY building around that had that new-fangled thing called air conditioning! It is now owned by Desi Arnez Jr. He is the son of legendary comedian and tv star Lucille Ball. Yes, that Desi Arnaz Jr. Here is my interview with Fetilina and the Dam Short Film Festival!

John LaBonney, Former Director of the Dam Short Film Festival in Boulder City, talks to Rose Donahue about the work that goes into programming a festival and gives filmmakers some tips and tricks about getting their projects onto the festival circuit. Just a heads up...your film is too long!

“Just think about the end goal, not necessarily how your going to get there, sometimes you’ll get there in the most unexpected ways” - Naomi talking about her path and consciousness. Naomi Grossman holds the distinguished honor of playing the first crossover character, the fan-favorite, “Pepper” on FX’s American Horror Story: Asylum & Freak Show. She was also named one of IMDb's "Top 10 Breakout Stars" of 2014. Naomi prides herself on having paved her own, albeit unorthodox way to mainstream success by writing, producing and starring in several hit solo shows. Her latest, Carnival Knowledge: Love, Lust, and other Human Oddities, enjoyed a twice-extended, sold-out run and rave reviews (“Recommended” by LA Weekly). It was then reprised at the world-famous fringe theatre festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, where it received more critical praise (4 stars: The Scotsman, Broadway Baby, Fringe Review) and a transfer to London’s West End (Leicester Square Theatre). It later went on to have a successful run Off-Off Broadway. Naomi’s first solo endeavor, Girl in Argentine Landscape, also received critical acclaim (LA Weekly, “Pick of the Week”) and earned her an LA Weekly Theatre Award nomination for best solo performance. Naomi toured with Girl to Chicago's Single File Festival, the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival, the New York International Fringe Festival, and screened a subtitled video-version on the big screen in Argentina. A graduate of theatre from Northwestern University, as well as a former member of the esteemed Groundlings Sunday Company, Naomi has written, produced, and starred in numerous comedic shorts under her “Red Meat Entertainment” banner, which have screened at the LA Comedy Shorts Film Festival, the TriMedia Film Festival, the Connecticut Film Festival, the Dam Short Film Festival, the Faux Film Festival, the Los Angeles Comedy Festival, the Wet Your Pants Comedy Film Festival, the Action On Film International Festival, and the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. Naomi has made cameos in several feature films, namely Table for Three, The Chair, Fear, Inc., Sky Sharks, and Short Stack.

Notes from the show: Naomi started acting and comedy with KidSkits in Denver Started LA quest for acting success by reading Backstage West. Los Angeles is not a theatre town. She recommends going to Paley Center for Media, watch solo shows by John Leguizamo, Eric Bogosian, Lily Tomlin, Spalding Gray.

Maxwell A Year in Van Nuys - Sandra Tsing LohRecommendation from Michael Prywes:Essentialism - Greg McKeown A-ha moment: "I'm not acting. I'm a professional mailer. If these people won't cast me, I'll cast myself." Naomi's biggest mistakes: "Waiting for success to come to me. And not getting jobs that used my brain." How Naomi plans her day: "LISTS!" Naomi shares a treasure trove of information, advice, and emotional experiences. She talks about her darkest days, and the time she realized she "arrived." She also gives a comprehensive rundown of her special visiting artist lecture at Northwestern University, twenty years after Ethan Hawke's memorable lecture.
