Podcast appearances and mentions of elaine mcmillion sheldon

This week on Commonplace, we have filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon (@elainemcsheldon, director of King Coal (@kingcoalfilm) which is now available via @povdocs. The documentary showcases how the coal industry looms over West Virginia both economically and culturally, honoring the work of those in the past while acknowledging the need to move forward. In our conversation, we talk about the struggles of independent filmmaking and how it shaped the documentary, her entry into the medium and the success of Heroine, and why she narrates the documentary even though she was initially hesitant.  Stream King Coal via POV here.

A lyrical tapestry of a place and people, KING COAL meditates on the complex history and future of the coal industry, the communities it has built, and the myths it has created. Director Elaine McMillion Sheldon reshapes the boundaries of documentary filmmaking in a spectacularly beautiful and deeply moving immersion into Central Appalachia where coal is not just a resource, but a way of life, imagining the ways a community can re-envision itself. Central Appalachia is a place of mountains and myth and Academy Award-nominated and Emmy and Peabody Award-winning documentary filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon knows this well, calling those mountains home. KING COAL has had a profound influence on this community's identity, but Sheldon dares to consider what future stories might look like out of the shadow of coal, now that relationships to coal are changing. She takes us on an alluring cinematic journey through the past, present, and future of Appalachia. Sheldon's distinct vision remixes present-day moments of life in a coal-mining town with archival footage and atmospheric invocations of the land to alchemize something new — a rare, nuanced depiction of this community. A young girl learning the story of coal anchors the journey while Sheldon's poetic voiceover guides us through the experience and an expressive score differentiates the reality of coal from a more imaginative world. This hybrid approach allows our guest, Elaine McMillion Sheldon to explore the act of storytelling itself and is a magical reclamation of the power of stories to shape how a region sees itself. Emerging from the long shadows of the coal mines, KING COAL untangles the pain from the beauty, and illuminates the innately human capacity for change. Directed by Emmy-winning & Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Elaine McMIllion Sheldon. Produced by Oscar & BAFTA winners, Shane Boris and Diane Becker For more go to: kingcoalfilm.com Los Angeles, CA - August 25 @ Laemmle Glendale

documentary King Coal. Told in an intimate and reflective manner, King Coal details the history of the all powerful fossil fuel in Appalachia, stretching back in time to the foundation of the mining region and utilising the imagery of the coal miner's daughter to explore the myth and dominance that the black rock has on the region. King Coal never condemns those who have worked in and relied on the mining industry as a source of income or stability, with Elaine's supportive narration being one that highlights the importance that coal once held for those in the region, while also spotlighting the need to navigate a path out of relying on it. It's with the focus on two young girls who grow up in the region that we follow this tale of coal and the almost fanatical adoration that people in the region still hold onto it. There's a touch of fantastical realism to King Coal which is amplified by the stunning cinematography that reinforces just how nourishing nature can be. In this interview, recorded ahead of King Coal's national release in America, Elaine talks about the need to explore the story of coal in a tender manner, the importance of telling it from her own lived experience, as well as the vision of hope that it gives at its end. King Coal is screening across America from August 11th in New York, with further screenings: New York City - August 11th @ DCTV TheaterWinston-Salem, NC - August 18th @ Aperture CinemaCharleston, WV - August 31st @ Floralee CinemaAkron, OH - September 1st @ The NightLightCincinnati, OH - September 4th @ The Woodward TheaterColumbus, OH - September 8th @ Wexner Center for the ArtsQueens, NY - September 9th @ Museum of the Moving ImageBlacksburg, VA - September 21st @ Lyric TheaterBluefield, WV - September 22nd @The Granada Theater See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With stunning cinematography, King Coal explores the lives in Central Appalachia and how the effects and bonds instilled by the coal industry.  The film has been described by one reviewer as “A poetic ode to the blue ridges of Central Appalachia.”  “King Coal often evokes an IMAX educational film in its scope, space, and presence. The film explores the complex history of coal as a specter that looms over the region,” writes John Fink. “The precious rock is celebrated throughout, the picture never veering off-course to engage in a discussion of contemporary politics. It's instead built on West Virginia itself, a land still tied to mythology in some ways.” “Who are we, without a king?” asks Lanie Marsh, the young star of the picture. “King Coal” debuts in Charleston on Aug. 31 at the Floralee Hark Cohen Cinema.

Michael Cerveris is a two-time Tony Award winner, actor, musician and Huntington is his hometown. He'll be back home August 19th to join the Appalachian Film Festival for a screening of Oscar-nominee Elaine McMillion Sheldon's newest film King Coal where he will join the director in conversation on stage after the film.

For 200 years, the people of central Appalachia in the US have lived off the industry of coal. Now, though, times are changing, and the coal industry is dying. One day, it will become no more than a memory.  Director Elaine McMillion Sheldon describes King Coal as “part documentary, part fable”, and the film aims to not only tell the story of Appalachia and its coal, but also to preserve Appalachians' memory of it.  And that is not all. Through Lanie and Gabby, two young Appalachian girls, Elaine looks to the future, to the new world that is now coming into being. In doing so, she is able to say truthfully that far from now ending, Appalachia's story is just beginning. In the course of their conversation, Elaine discusses her own intimate connection to Appalachia, the surprising origin of one mark of deep respect given to miners, and how she broke her filmmaking rules in order to make the documentary. Watch the episode at https://factualamerica.com  “... if this was just a story about facts and figures, it would make no sense. But this film is really about the psyche and soul... I think that King Coal dominates a time when work, and pride in work, of belonging was a huge part of our identity.” – Elaine McMillion Sheldon

Elaine McMillion Sheldon is a director and writer known for documentaries, such as the Netflix Original Documentaries, Heroin(e) and Recovery Boys. Her latest film, King Coal, premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. This “part fable, part documentary” is about the complex, coal culture in Central Appalachia. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins speaks with Emmy-winning filmmakers, Elaine McMillion Sheldon and Curren Sheldon to discuss:  The inception of the film and how it became a hybrid style What the lens vetting process was like Not using any artificial light The reason behind focusing on the young characters in the film  Why it's important to have bad ideas Pushing through moments of vulnerability Where Elaine got inspiration from  Working with a breath artist to create all the crazy sounds in the film All the wonderful support they received from labs and grants  Why you need to have a long-term version Memorable Quotes “How do we make this feel almost like a dream, almost like an imagined future?” [7:51] “This film required a level of failure and vulnerability that made me insecure at moments. But ultimately made me grow as a filmmaker.” [14:09] “Having a long view of your career is so healthy otherwise you're gonna get burnt out and depressed.” [31:20] “Most of this industry lives in a bubble, on a coast.” [42:08] Resources: King Coal trailer King Coal official website King Coal on Instagram Here is the upcoming 2023 theatrical: August 11th - DCTV- New York City, NY (weeklong) August 18th - Aperture Cinema - Winston-Salem, NC (weeklong) August 25th - Laemmle Glendale - Los Angeles, CA (weeklong) August 28th -Harris Theater - Pittsburgh, PA (Select shows during the week) August 31- Floralee Theater - Charleston, WV (Select shows) September 1st - The Nightlight - Akron, OH (weeklong) September 1st- Zoetropolis Cinema - Lancaster, PA (two-week run) September 1st - Central Cinema - Knoxville, TN (weeklong) September 4th - The Woodward Theater - Cincinnati, OH (one night) September 8th - Wexner Center of the Arts - Columbus, OH (one night) September 9th - Museum of the Moving Image- Queens, NY (one night) September 15th- Raleigh Playhouse- Beckley, WV (one night) September 21st - The Lyric Theater- Blacksburg, VA (one night) September 22nd - The Granada Theater- Bluefield, WV (one night) Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web https://nofilmschool.com/ Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool Twitter  https://twitter.com/nofilmschool YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool Send us an email with questions or feedback: podcast@nofilmschool.com!

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Thursday, June 29  The “King Coal” documentary debuts at the Culture Center next month…Brad Smith is takingAscend West Virginia to a new level with two vertical programs…and ya gotta Regatta! The festival kicks off tomorrow in Charleston…on today's daily304. #1 – From WV EXPLORER – “King Coal,” a feature-length documentary by West Virginia-raised and Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Curren Sheldon and Elaine McMillion Sheldon, makes its home-state premiere at the West Virginia Culture Center in Charleston next month. The West Virginia International Film Festival presents the event at 6 p.m. July 8. The event includes the 75-minute film screening, a live Q&A discussion with filmmakers, food, and music. The film is rated "Y" and is appropriate for families and children. A lyrical tapestry of a place and people, “King Coal” meditates on the complex history and future of the coal industry and the communities it has shaped. The film remixes present-day moments of life in the coalfields with archival footage and atmospheric invocations of the land to alchemize something new — a rare, nuanced depiction of the community.

Smith. Smith, the former CEO and later executive chairman of Intuit and the current president of Marshall University, and his wife, Alys, developed the program to attract remote workers to the Mountain State. Since launching in April 2021, the program has brought 142 new residents to the state, who in turn have brought 172 others with them. There have also been five brand-new West Virginians born. The program's success has inspired a pair of what Smith calls “vertical programs.” First Ascent will help recent West Virginia college graduates find remote work and placement in remote worker programs, while offering them the same sort of outdoor-based incentives to continue living in the state. Another program, Military Ascent, is designed to attract those who served our country to move to West Virginia. More details of the “vertical programs” will be announced during the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce's 2023 Annual Meeting and Business Summit at the end of August.

On this West Virginia Morning, Elaine McMillion Sheldon's latest documentary is called “King Coal.” The imaginative film focuses on central Appalachia, how coal mining has influenced its culture and how that may be changing. Inside Appalachia host Mason Adams spoke with Sheldon and co-producer Molly Born about the film. The post Sillier Side Of Minor League Baseball And A Look At New Film ‘King Coal,' This West Virginia Morning appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

Premiering at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Academy Award-nominated director Elaine McMillion Sheldon's ("Heroin(e)", "Recovery Boys") elegiac, stirring, and magical new documentary “King Coal” gives an insider's unique perspective on the profound impact that coal has had on the people and mythos of Central Appalachia. As the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of coal miners, Elaine's narrative comes from a place of personal experience and deep reflection — and stretches the boundaries of traditional documentary. Sitting down with Ken in Park City the night before her film's world premiere, Elaine discusses the liberating effect of using hybrid storytelling strategies, the challenges of presenting a nuanced approach to a highly politicized issue, and her nervous anticipation of watching the film with her family for the first time. "King Coal" was produced by Diane Becker, Shane Boris, and Peggy Drexler.   Follow: @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter @elainemsheldon on twitter   The Presenting Sponsor of “Top Docs” is Netflix.

Documentary filmmakers take us into the lives of their subjects in a way that the written word can't capture. We see what they see.

McMillion Sheldon is an Academy Award-nominated, and Emmy and Peabody-winning documentary filmmaker based in Appalachia. She has been commissioned by Netflix, Frontline PBS, The Center for Investigative Reporting, The Oxford American, The New York Times Op-Docs, TEDWomen, Field of Vision, and The Bitter Southerner.

This episode is Part 2 of our conversation with filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon. We explore one of Elaine's earliest projects, Hollow, an interactive documentary experience based in McDowell County. We also dive deeper into the differences she sees between documentary film and journalism and the conflicts those differences present. Take a listen.

This episode is Part 1 of 2 with our guest Elaine McMillion Sheldon. Elaine is an Academy Award nominated and Emmy and Peabody award winning filmmaker. She is best known for directing two Netflix original documentaries Heroine and Recovery Boys, and was recently named to Doc New York City's 40 under 40 list for 2020. Having grown up in southern WV, Elaine now lives and teaches film in Knoxville TN. On this episode, we ask Elaine about her passion for documentary filmmaking, and also catch some cool stories from her time on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. Be sure to stay tuned for the release of Part 2 of Elaine's interview in the coming weeks. Until then as always, Take a listen.

Elaine McMillion Sheldon is an Academy Award-nominated, and Emmy and Peabody-winning documentary filmmaker based in Appalachia. She is the director of two Netflix Original Documentaries - "Heroin(e)" and "Recovery Boys" - that explore America's opioid crisis. "Heroin(e)" was nominated for a 2018 Academy Award and won the 2018 Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Documentary. She was also featured on Anthony Bourdain's - Parts Unknown West Virginia episode, and she helped with everything on the episode from location to story to people. Elaine's family has been in West Virginia for generations, and she is proud to tell the untold stories of the region, show the people that would otherwise not get shown, and showcase the problems there - in the hopes of solving them. Elaine and I discuss - Why she focuses on storytelling in Appalachia Why documentaries are so popular now How to get people to open up in front of a camera The opioid and heroin crisis Her work with Anthony Bourdain Her documentary Heroin(e) And much more... Elaine McMillion Sheldon My Take: We must never look at the other as different or unapproachable, we shouldn't see differences as dividers, but rather an opportunity to engage in conversation and strengthen/create bonds through dialogue and open communication. The reason why good documentaries touch us so profoundly is that they allow us a peek into worlds otherwise inaccessible to us. Good documentaries have the power to open our eyes, get us involved, shed light on important topics, move us, and henceforth create change. Support the Podcast

Human beings are social creatures and the pandemic is taking a toll on all of us in one way or another. It's also bringing to light just how important human connection is in our lives. This week on Inside Appalachia, we'll hear from folks who are overcoming these challenges on top of maintaining sobriety and staying on the path to recovery. As we grapple with the immediate health emergency of the coronavirus pandemic -- and celebrate the hope found in vaccines and infections going down -- here in Appalachia we're also struggling with two other public health crises: the opioid epidemic, and a large uptick in HIV cases. Researchers believe the crises are linked. West Virginia's capital city of Charleston is currently experiencing the nation's worst outbreak of HIV linked to injected drug use, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We'll learn more about that next week, and hear from folks who worry that stigma and discrimination against people with substance use disorder is exacerbating the issue. Get Help If you, or a loved one, would like to talk with a professional counselor about recovery or addiction call 1-800-662-HELP or 1-800-662-4357. That's the hotline for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. They offer free, confidential counseling. Finding Sobriety Before Ryan Elkins, a recovery coach in southern West Virginia could help others, he had to find peace within himself.  “Which is something that I've lost along the way. So, it's really, really nice and comforting to know that I have this inner strength,” Elkins said. His mother died when he was 11 years old, and as a child, his father abused him. For a time, he found love and support after he left the state to move in with his mother's extended family. But he said he couldn't accept that love at the time. “They were so loving and caring that it scared me. I tried to avoid people.” Elkins is now a recovery coach in Lincoln County, West Virginia, and a student at Marshall University. Making Connections Fighting isolation is something that just about every human on the planet is struggling with right now. Some of the best tools for connecting are digital. For people in recovery, meetings on Zoom or Skype have become a lifeline to maintaining sobriety. With the digital format, there's the opportunity to meet every day. Ashley Temple is a single mother with three kids who lives in Charleston, West Virginia. She works full time at a hospital and she's a single mom. One of the communities hit hardest is Kermit, West Virginia. At the peak of the opioid crisis, drug companies sent 12 million hydrocodone pills to the town of about 350 people. Cars would line up at the one pharmacy with people waiting to pick up pain pills. The so-called pain clinics of a decade ago are gone. In their place, a continued need for addiction treatment and recovery resources. Telling Difficult Stories There are heroes among us who are trying to break down barriers. Several of them are featured in two Netflix documentaries, “Heroin(e)” and “Recovery Boys,” both directed by Elaine McMillion-Sheldon, and her husband Curren Sheldon. They are both West Virginia natives. Back in 2018, just after the release of “Recovery Boys,” Elaine sat down with Sarah Smarsh, host of a podcast called The Homecomers, to talk about what drove her to devote her career to telling stories about both the difficult realities, and the resilience of Appalachians.

On this West Virginia Morning, we’ll hear from award-winning filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon, about her passion for shining a light on the resilience and strength of Appalachians.

Elaine McMillion Sheldon is arguably the most successful filmmaker to come out of West Virginia. Her projects have taken her across the nation telling stories that directly impact a wide range of communities. She discusses her filmmaking process, and what it was like to create one of the most socially impactful pair of documentaries ever made. Learn more at AppalachianStartup.com.

Emmy award winning, Oscar nominated documentary filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon and I sat down in the lobby of Marshall's theater during a screening of her newest feature length film, Recovery Boys. Sure, we talk about the deep stuff, like the ethics of making a film about real people and the need for Appalachian storytellers. We also giggle about red carpet fashion, which celebrity she scared off during a pre-party, and whether she can make a better music video than Drake (yes). Her latest project to drop is linked below. You can find Recovery Boys and Heroin(e) on Netflix. Maybe you've heard of it?  Opening jingle by Sarah J. Storer; graphic design by Kristin J.

Heroin(e) focuses on the once a bustling industrial town, Huntington, West Virginia. Huntington has become the epicenter of America’s modern opioid epidemic, with an overdose rate 10 times the national average. This flood of heroin now threatens this Appalachian city with a cycle of generational addiction, lawlessness, and poverty. But within this distressed landscape, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon (Hollow) shows a different side of the fight against drugs -- one of hope. Sheldon highlights three women working to change the town’s narrative and break the devastating cycle of drug abuse one person at a time. Fire Chief Jan Rader spends the majority of her days reviving those who have overdosed; Judge Patricia Keller presides over drug court, handing down empathy along with orders; and Necia Freeman of Brown Bag Ministry feeds meals to the women selling their bodies for drugs. As America’s opioid crisis threatens to tear communities apart, the Netflix original short documentary HEROIN(E) shows how the chain of compassion holds one town together. Director Elaine McMillion Sheldon is a Peabody Award winning, Emmy nominated filmmaker and now Oscar nominated from West Virginia. HEROIN(E) was produced in association with the Berkeley-based Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), as part of a new initiative to support women filmmakers. In 2016, Chicken & Egg Pictures awarded her with the inaugural "Breakthrough Filmmaker" award. Sheldon was a 2013 Future of Storytelling Fellow, and named one of the "25 New Faces of Independent Film" in 2013 by Filmmaker Magazine and one of "50 People Changing The South" in 2015 by Southern Living Magazine. She has also contributed several shorts to The New York Times Op-Docs. She joins us to talk about her clear-eyed, bracing film that shines a bright and intimate light on an epidemic that is destroying large swaths of American society.

It's NAB this week, and we have a new technology and filmmaking episode you must hear before you spend a dime!Because the nature of this show involves taking bits and pieces of longer episodes, I have a veritable vault full of as yet unmined content from fantastic interviews. In honor of it being NAB this week (that annual mecca to Las Vegas for media professionals all over the world), we have as yet unaired excerpts from interviews I conducted last season.Peabody award-winning filmmaker and documentarian Elaine McMillion Sheldon, who won that acclaimed award for her interactive documentary experience "Hollow", chimes in on how the architectural design concept of "form following function" should be applied to storytelling and technology.

Elaine McMillion Sheldon and Sarah Ginsburg (that’s us) are co-creators, producers and hosts of this very show, She Does podcast, and maybe you got hints of this from listening to episodes of the show, but first and foremost, we’re documentary filmmakers. In this episode, the tables are somewhat turned and we are asked a few questions by our dear friend, production assistant and member of the documentary community herself, Alijah Case. We talk about what we’ve been up to outside of the podcast and what we are planning on getting into now that we’ve officially decided to taper back on releasing episodes of this show. We aren’t calling it quits completely, especially because we LOVE She Does and have over 10 interviews in the can with some incredible women, but we have decided to edit and release episodes on our own time. We elaborate on all of the news and future plans in this special ‘it’s-not-goodbye-it’s-see-you-later’ episode, reflect on the 31 plus episodes we put out over the last year and the women featured in them, wonderful, impressive, yet very human, each in their own unique way. While the process proved to be quite labor and time intensive, it’s been one of those experiences so magical and so fruitful that it’s hard to put into words, but we do our best with the guidance of Alijah, insights from our illustrator Christine Cover, and music and words by Nona Marie Invie, who recently released an EP titled Sisters with her latest project RONiiA. And as always, thank YOU for listening to She Does.

Statistics show that most podcasts peter off in the first six weeks. We're now six MONTHS strong into ours, and it's only getting better (IMHO). Six months of a "Radiolab" and "This American Life" style show about the art and craft of cinema and filmmaking, delivered EVERY WEEK, has been quite a feat. Six months of stories that will inspire, encourage and/or just flat-out entertain. Whether you're a filmmaker, a photographer, or any other kind of artist, the themes and topics we explore will connect with you.To celebrate this milestone, we're looking back at some of our favorite stories. Tuesday I shared a few of my favorite personal stories. Today, I'm sharing a few guest stories that have stood out to me:Sky City Haya producer Thom Weinland's funny discovery" about the "Wizard of Oz"Me and show regular JD get into one of our typical debatesCelebrated spoken word artist Marshall Davis Jones is back with the funny story behind how he trained his voice and testing it out on John LeguizamoFilmRiot host Ryan Connolly shares how absolutely everything went wrong on his "U.F.

This week we continue our Women in Film series with part 3: "What role do women play in their own hindrance or advancement in the business?"I honestly believe this is one of the most important episodes I ever have, or will, publish. I strongly feel this episode should be heard by everyone woman in the industry. Heck, I think it would be great for women in any profession to hear from the various guests on the show today. We have a full slate of women at the top of their game in their respective fields.First, we bring back my 4-person panel in Seattle: Scilla Andreen (CEO of IndieFlix), Stefanie Malone (executive director of NFFTY), Ryan Davis (co-founder of Smarthouse Creative) and Nancy Chang (executive director of ReelGrrls). I also speak to Nichelle Protho, VP of the television and online video production company Sander/Moses; Lauren Haroutunian, dean of Freddie Wong's Rocket Jump Film School; and the director of the interactive documentary "Hollow," and co-host of the She Does Podcast, Elaine McMillion Sheldon. We also hear from Universal Pictures Chairman Donna Langley and 20th Century Fox co-chairman Stacey Snider, in excerpts from Hollywood Reporter's studio executive roundtable; and Sheryl Sandberg in a clip from the TED Radio Hour has some poignant commentary as well.Oh, and I contribute a few halfway-decent comments now and then too. :)Support our SponsorWe're supported in part by Song Freedom.

Today we continue our discussion - should filmmakers of today study the masters of yesterday?When we left off on this discussion, we heard from a wide range of filmmakers (and a photographer) that studying the masters was important. Today we hear from a wide range of filmmakers (and a photographer again) who will give insight into 1) why it’s important to study the masters, and 2) the issue of copying. We'll hear from David Shulman, Director of the Seattle Film Institute, Julieanne Kost (Adobe's leading Photoshop evangelist), my film school prof, Zaki Lisha of De Anza College, and the director of the interactive documentary "Hollow," Elaine McMillion Sheldon.You'll also hear some listener feedback and I'll give you a quick primer on song licensing.
