MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 19th Publish Date:  November 19th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, November 19th and Happy Birthday to Meg Ryan I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts As Cobb school board approves new buses, Ragsdale pushes back on criticism Cobb’s new Renaissance Fair becomes instant hit with festival-goers All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles 9 STORY 1: Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts Georgia lawmakers are seriously talking about ditching the state income tax—$16 billion worth of revenue—and replacing it by slashing $30 billion in tax credits and exemptions. “It’s not if, it’s when,” said Sen. Blake Tillery, who’s leading the charge. He called it a move for “competitiveness.” Supporters like economist Arthur Laffer praised states like Tennessee for thriving without income taxes, calling it “really cool” not to file returns. But critics, like Sen. Nan Orrock, warned it could hit low-income families and retirees hardest, especially if sales taxes rise. The debate? Far from over. STORY 2: As Cobb school board approves new buses, Ragsdale pushes back on criticism Tensions ran high Thursday as Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale defended the district’s transportation department amid ongoing criticism of bus safety and maintenance. “There are no unsafe buses on the roads. Period. Zero,” Ragsdale said, calling claims to the contrary “untrue and unacceptable.” The school board approved $4.97 million for 30 new buses, but public commenters weren’t buying the reassurances. Mechanics like Eric Carroll, a 14-year employee, pushed back hard. “We’re not liars,” he said, visibly emotional. “We need help.” Meanwhile, Ragsdale dismissed the concerns as fearmongering, sparking outrage from workers who say they’re overworked, understaffed, and unheard. The investigation? Still ongoing. STORY 3: Cobb’s new Renaissance Fair becomes instant hit with festival-goers  The 16th century came alive Saturday at Cobb’s first-ever Big Shanty Bazaar, and honestly? It was a hit. By the time the gates opened at The Big Shanty Art Station, over 100 people were already lined up, many decked out in Renaissance garb or fantasy costumes—dragons, wizards, you name it. “It’s way more than I expected,” said organizer Roxanne Thompson. “I was hoping for maybe a thousand all day, but this? Wow.” The festival had it all: axe throwing, pony rides, blacksmith demos, and an artisan market selling everything from D&D dice to handmade cloaks. The vibes? Impeccable. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: Cobb NAACP holds annual awards gala The Cobb NAACP’s 46th annual Oscar Freeman Freedom Fund Awards Gala brought together community leaders, elected officials, and trailblazers Saturday night for an evening of celebration, reflection, and a little dancing. The event featured a reception, silent auction, dinner, and awards ceremony. Civil rights pioneer Deane Bonner, a cornerstone of the Cobb NAACP, was front and center—dancing, speaking, and inspiring. Honorees included Rev. Joe Evans, named Religious Leader of the Year, and countless others who’ve shaped the community. “It’s about honoring the past while building the future,” said organizer Jeriene Bonner-Willis. STORY 5: Cobb reallocates $2.96M for food distribution, South Cobb Public Health Center  Cobb commissioners just gave the green light to reallocate nearly $3 million in unspent federal COVID relief funds, aiming to boost food distribution programs and help fund the long-awaited South Cobb Public Health Center. Of the $2.96 million, $206,000 will go to local nonprofits like MUST Ministries and Sweetwater Mission, which have been struggling to meet surging demand for food assistance. “This will help families get through the holidays,” said Chair Lisa Cupid. The remaining $2.75 million, saved from a bridge project, will go toward the health center, a critical project for South Cobb residents that’s been years in the making. Break: STORY 6: “Stuff the Turkey” donation event collects 1,000 items for locals in need   The Goddard School of Vinings recently held its “Stuff the Turkey” drive, and wow, did the community show up. Located on Log Cabin Drive, the school collected over 1,000 items—canned goods, diapers, hygiene products, you name it. All donations went to 7 Bridges to Recovery, a local nonprofit helping women, kids, and those facing homelessness in Atlanta. “It’s incredible to see what we can do together,” a school representative said. Want to learn more about their efforts (or maybe help out next time)? Check out their website. Small acts, big impact—every bit counts. STORY 7: Fielding Lewis DAR Chapter builds and donates Chad’s Bracket Wagons  The Fielding Lewis Chapter of the DAR recently rolled up their sleeves for the D building nine bright red Chad’s Bracket wagons—specialized hospital wagons designed to make life a little easier (and safer) for kids in hospitals. This wasn’t just any project. Volunteers worked alongside Roger Leggett, the founder of Chad’s Bracket, whose mission began after a heartbreaking loss: his son Chad, an EMT, passed away at 24. Inspired by Chad’s compassion, Leggett created these wagons, which now bring comfort to kids nationwide. “These wagons may seem simple, but they’re life-changing,” said Chapter Regent Melissa Tanner. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 9 Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

Ever wake up at 3 AM and wonder why?

Let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. — 1 Corinthians 5:8 For one week, some years ago, I owned all the bread in the Jewish community in Salem, Oregon, where I live. When local Jewish families celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread, they did so not by removing all the yeast from their homes (as their biblical ancestors did) but by signing a contract that gave ownership of all their leavened food to someone else.The Feast of Unleavened Bread was celebrated alongside the Feast of Passover, and it communicated how God had set his people apart as his own. Many years later, the apostle Paul explained to the Corinthians that since “Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed,” we are to keep the festival by removing evil from within us and from our Christian communities. Like yeast, sin has a way of working into our lives until it taints every part of who we are. An addiction will grip our behaviors at home and at work, destroying both in the process. Gossip will erode trust in a community. Greed will poison ambition, turning it into something ruthless instead of productive. Like leaven, sin is pervasive. By removing the leaven from their homes, God's people were to remember they were redeemed to be holy.Is sin taking hold in an area of your life? What might it look like to remove that poison from your life? Jesus, our Passover lamb, was sacrificed so that we can be holy. Let's resolve to live as God's holy people! Jesus, we confess that we often find sin alluring. Help us, by the power of your Spirit, to remove sin from our lives. Amen.

Ezzel akarta lenyűgözni a közönséget a Hálaadás napi fesztiválon.En: This year, he decided to teach a turkey to gobble on command to impress the audience at the Thanksgiving festival.Hu: Zoltán puskával felmálházva és kalapjának karimáját letörölve állt a kis udvar közepén, ahol a pulyka, Béla, köztiszteletben álló madara volt a célpontja.En: Armed with a shotgun and wiping the brim of his hat, Zoltán stood in the center of the small yard, where the turkey, Béla, a highly respected bird, was the target.Hu: Már az elején látta, hogy Béla nem a legegyszerűbb tanítvány.En: From the outset, he saw that Béla was not the simplest student.Hu: Béla inkább a napot szerette melegíteni, vagy kisétálni a legzöldebb fűszálakhoz, semmint parancsszóra gá-gá-zni.En: Béla preferred basking in the sun or wandering over to the greenest blades of grass rather than gobbling on command.Hu: De Zoltán nem adta fel.En: But Zoltán did not give up.Hu: Először finom falatokat próbált kínálni neki.En: First, he tried offering tasty treats.Hu: „Gyere ide, Béla! Gá-gá!” – mondta Zoltán, miközben egy marék kukoricát tartott a kezében.En: “Come here, Béla! Gobble-gobble!” Zoltán said as he held a handful of corn.Hu: Ám Béla csak lustán pislogott, mintha azt mondaná, „majd holnap”.En: However, Béla only blinked lazily, as if to say, “Maybe tomorrow.”Hu: Nem volt sikeres a zene sem.En: Music was not successful either.Hu: Zoltán tangóharmonikát szerzett és próbált dallamot húzni, de Béla csak álmosan leült a fűbe, és talán még horkantott is egyet.En: Zoltán acquired an accordion and tried to play a tune, but Béla just sleepily sat down in the grass, possibly even letting out a snore.Hu: Következő próbálkozása egy rögtönzött pulykaruhában történő bemutató volt.En: His next attempt was a demonstration in an improvised turkey costume.Hu: Zoltán tollakat erősített a kalapjára és vidáman ugrált Béla előtt.En: Zoltán attached feathers to his hat and joyfully pranced in front of Béla.Hu: A pulyka egy pillanatra felkapta a fejét, majd visszatért az álmodozáshoz.En: The turkey briefly lifted his head, then returned to daydreaming.Hu: Közeledett a fesztivál napja.En: The festival day approached.Hu: A falusi tér megtelt bódékkal, ahol házi készítésű lekvárokat, különféle süteményeket és meleg lángost árultak.En: The village square filled with stalls selling homemade jams, various pastries, and hot flatbreads.Hu: A levegő megtelt a tűzrakás és a frissen sült kenyér illatával.En: The air was scented with bonfires and freshly baked bread.Hu: Mindenki izgatottan várta Zoltán és Béla bemutatóját.En: Everyone eagerly awaited Zoltán and Béla's performance.Hu: Végül elérkezett a pillanat.En: Finally, the moment arrived.Hu: Zoltán felkészült a nagy produkcióra, de Béla még mindig álmosan gubbasztott.En: Zoltán was ready for the big show, but Béla was still sitting drowsily.Hu: Ahogy Zoltán kétségbeesetten próbálta felkelteni Béla figyelmét, váratlanul egy nagy csattanás hallatszott a szomszédos bódéból, ahol egy mézeskalácsos dézsa felborult.En: As Zoltán desperately tried to capture Béla's attention, suddenly a loud crash was heard from the neighboring stall, where a gingerbread barrel had toppled over.Hu: Béla megrettent, és elkezdett hangosan gá-gá-zni.En: Béla was startled and began to gobble loudly.Hu: A közönség nevetett és tapsolt, meglepődve azon, hogy Zoltánnak sikerült pont időben produkálnia a mutatványt.En: The audience laughed and applauded, surprised that Zoltán managed to perform the trick just in time.Hu: Zoltán, noha nem így tervezte, hatalmas tapsot kapott.En: Although it wasn't how he planned it, Zoltán received a huge round of applause.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy néha a véletlen is lehet nagy segítő, és a kitartás mindig kifizetődik.En: He learned that sometimes chance can be a great help and perseverance always pays off.Hu: A fesztivál végén Zoltán büszkén vitte Bélát az ünnepi menetben, és boldogan köszöntötte a gratulációkat.En: At the end of the festival, Zoltán proudly led Béla in the festive parade and happily received congratulations.Hu: Most már igazán úgy érezte, hogy sikerült valami különlegeset létrehoznia, még ha nem is pont úgy, ahogy tervezte.En: He now truly felt that he had managed to create something special, even if not exactly as he had planned.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Harmonizing Lanterns: Forging Unity at Hangzhou's Festival Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-11-19-23-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 在杭州的一个深秋下午，明宇、丽华和健走进了一家古色古香的茶馆。En: On a late autumn afternoon in Hangzhou, Mingyu, Lihua, and Jian stepped into a quaint tea house.Zh: 走在石板街道上，他们感受到了空气中弥漫的茶香和栗子香。En: As they walked on the cobblestone street, they could smell the aroma of tea and chestnuts in the air.Zh: 茶馆的窗户上凝着蒸汽，温暖的光线透过悬挂的红色灯笼照亮了整个房间。En: Steam lingered on the tea house's windows, and the warm light filtering through the hanging red lanterns illuminated the entire room.Zh: 他们坐在一个低矮的漆桌旁，准备讨论即将到来的灯笼节计划。En: They sat by a low lacquered table, ready to discuss their upcoming plans for the Lantern Festival.Zh: 明宇是个心思细腻的艺术家，他一直想做一场关于西湖的灯笼展示。En: Mingyu is a meticulous artist who has always wanted to create a lantern display about West Lake.Zh: 他渴望让观众通过灯笼感受到西湖的美丽与宁静。En: He longs for the audience to feel the beauty and tranquility of West Lake through the lanterns.Zh: 丽华则是个充满活力的组织者，总想把节日变得更加难忘。En: Lihua, on the other hand, is a vibrant organizer who always wants to make celebrations more memorable.Zh: 她的计划非常宏大，希望把整个湖岸都装饰上灯笼。En: Her grand plan is to decorate the entire lakeshore with lanterns.Zh: 健却比较现实，他觉得丽华的计划过于夸张，不太可能实现。En: But Jian is more realistic, feeling that Lihua's plan is too extravagant and unlikely to be feasible.Zh: 三人在茶馆中讨论着节日的计划。En: The three discussed the festival plans in the tea house.Zh: 明宇轻声说：“我希望灯笼能展现出西湖的宁静之美。”En: Mingyu softly said, “I hope the lanterns can showcase the peaceful beauty of West Lake.”Zh: 丽华兴奋地回应：“但我们可以多加一些创意，让它更吸引人。”En: Lihua excitedly responded, “But we can add more creativity to make it more appealing.”Zh: 健则皱眉说：“我们需要考虑实际情况，不然计划可能无法实施。”En: Jian frowned and said, “We need to consider practicality, otherwise the plan might not be implemented.”Zh: 在讨论的过程中，气氛略显紧张。En: During the discussion, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.Zh: 为了打破僵局，明宇决定妥协。En: To break the stalemate, Mingyu decided to compromise.Zh: 他说：“也许我们可以把丽华的创意融入我的设计中，同时确保现实的可行性。”En: He said, “Maybe we can incorporate Lihua's creativity into my design while ensuring realistic feasibility.”Zh: 随后，他从包里拿出一张卷轴，慢慢展开，上面是他设计的灯笼展示图。En: Then he pulled out a scroll from his bag and slowly unfurled it, revealing his lantern display design.Zh: 图中不仅有明宇对西湖的独到见解，还融入了丽华生动的创意。En: The design not only featured Mingyu's unique vision of West Lake, but also incorporated Lihua's vivid creativity.Zh: 看到这一设计，丽华瞪大了眼睛，兴奋地说：“太美了！这样会给观众带来意想不到的惊喜。”En: Seeing this design, Lihua widened her eyes in excitement and said, “It's beautiful! This will bring an unexpected surprise to the audience.”Zh: 健也仔细地看着图纸，终于点了点头，说：“这样确实有趣，而且我看到了明宇的艺术和丽华的妙思，这很不错。”En: Jian also carefully examined the drawing and finally nodded, saying, “It's indeed interesting, and I see the blend of Mingyu's artistry and Lihua's ingenious ideas. It's really nice.”Zh: 最后，三人达成了一致。En: In the end, the three of them reached an agreement.Zh: 他们决定一同努力，把这场展示在灯笼节上呈现给大家。En: They decided to work together to present this display at the Lantern Festival.Zh: 明宇从这次合作中学会了团队合作的重要性，丽华意识到了创意与计划并重的价值，而健也开始对艺术眼界产生了新的尊重。En: Mingyu learned the importance of teamwork from this collaboration, Lihua realized the value of balancing creativity with planning, and Jian began to develop a new respect for artistic perspectives.Zh: 在茶馆的暖光中，三人的笑声回荡，与秋日的气息融为一体。En: In the warm light of the tea house, their laughter resonated, blending with the atmosphere of autumn.Zh: 他们的新计划将会为杭州的灯笼节增添别样的光彩与魅力。En: Their new plan would add a unique charm and brilliance to Hangzhou's Lantern Festival.

A Day in Disney's Animal Kingdom: A Complete Guide to Adventure and AweArriving early is one of the best ways to experience Animal Kingdom. As you walk across the bridge from the Oasis toward the Tree of Life, the park begins to reveal itself slowly. Birds call from hidden perches, foliage rustles, and the elaborate carvings on the Tree of Life seem to come alive in the morning light.If you plan to experience the attractions in Pandora, heading directly there is wise. The Wait time for Avatar Flight of Passage is shortest in the morning and gives you a breathtaking ride through the landscapes of Pandora. For a gentler but equally beautiful experience, Na'vi River Journey offers a serene boat ride through bioluminescent forests.Once the initial rush settles, the park becomes a haven for exploration. The Kilimanjaro Safaris ride is a must. It is one of the rare theme park experiences where no two rides are the same, thanks to the movement and moods of the animals. Morning to late morning is a great window, as many animals are active before the heat of the day.Exploring the walking trails, such as the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail or the Maharajah Jungle Trek, brings a quieter appreciation of the park. These trails allow you to move at your own pace, read interpretive displays, and spend time watching animals in habitats that feel remarkably open and natural.If you are hungry, Animal Kingdom has some of Disney's best food options. Satu'li Canteen offers customizable bowls that are fresh and flavorful, while Flame Tree Barbecue delivers hearty classics with scenic seating by the water.By afternoon, it is time for some excitement. Expedition Everest is the park's signature roller coaster, blending speed, storytelling, and one infamous guardian of the mountain. Even if you do not usually seek out thrill rides, Everest has a unique charm that comes from its details and immersive queue.Nearby, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue and Beyond provides a beautifully staged musical break inside a cool, dark theater. For an even deeper dive into nature and culture, Festival of the Lion King remains one of Disney's most celebrated live productions, offering breathtaking vocals, acrobatics, and choreography inspired by the film.If heat or crowds rise, this is a great time to pause with a cold drink or take a slow walk through Discovery Island, stopping to look at the often-overlooked animal exhibits surrounding the Tree of Life.As sunset approaches, the park transforms. Pandora's glowing plants begin to pulse with color, and the atmosphere shifts from lively to enchanting. This is a perfect time to walk the pathways between the floating mountains, taking in the sounds and details that are easy to miss during the day.Dinner options like Tiffins or Yak and Yeti offer relaxing, flavorful meals to close out your exploration. Afterward, enjoy a final walk past the softly lit Tree of Life. The nighttime awakenings, featuring projection shows with animal themes, are subtle but magical, offering a reflective end to the day.A day in Animal Kingdom is not just about rides or shows but about stepping into a world that celebrates exploration, conservation, and imagination. It offers a pace unlike any other Disney park, encouraging you to slow down, observe, and connect with the stories and animals around you. Whether this is your first visit or your tenth, the park always finds new ways to surprise and inspire.

MNMT Recordings : Hewan Aman — Kune Festival 2025 “KUNE was one of my favorite festival experiences this summer. It was an absolute honor to be invited, especially for a set surrounded by fellow story tellers and music selectors I deeply admire. Wild and generous location, giving so much space to move at your own rhythm. I felt connected to the beautiful community that gathers there and held by the presence of the sea, which was like a constant anchor. The curation stood out. Long sets, excellent sound, beautifully designed stages, and this subtle intensity I keep finding in Denmark. I learned about Yndelov ~ a kind of quiet code that encourages not thinking you're better than anyone, even when doing something exceptional. I found that spirit present in the way the festival was curated and lived ~ generous, grounded, and without ego. My set took place between 3 and 6am, in the belly of the Vessel stage, a concrete bunker. The sun rose halfway through ~ I didn't see it directly, but witnessing it light up people's faces as they danced was equally moving. Squeezed in between Peachlyfe's dreamy vibe, and Lund & Ronde goblin psy ride I really couldn't be happier. Big love and thanks to the KUNE family. Really happy to be sharing the recording.” Hewan Aman is a DJ, sound explorer and artist whose sets move between deep bass, atmospheric layers and emotionally-charged rhythms. Drawing from dub, trance, breaks and experimental club music, she plays with contrasts ~ shadow and light, softness and impact ~ creating space for both introspection and collective release. Captured live from the concrete belly of the Vessel stage, this set chronicles Hewan Aman's masterful three-hour navigation from the depths of night into the first light of dawn at Kune Festival. The journey begins in shadow, moving through darker, psychedelic territories, with the mix evolving as the sun begins to rise, skillfully evolving and giving way to an ascendant wave of deeper, euphoric, trancey luminosity.

La novena edición del Festival de las Flores convirtió a la ciudad histórica de Antigua Guatemala en un jardín monumental, con instalaciones florales de hasta 10 metros que atrajeron a cerca de un millón de visitantes ansiosos por contemplar color, aroma y arte efímero. Un reportaje de Diana Fuentes, corresponsal de RFI en Guatemala. En Antigua Guatemala, Patrimonio Cultural de la UNESCO situado en el departamento de Sacatepéquez, las creaciones florales que adornaban estructuras de metal, madera y bambú alcanzaron alturas impresionantes de entre 3 y 10 metros, envolviendo cada rincón de la ciudad colonial en un arte efímero. "Ahorita ya estamos a punto de culminar nuestra novena edición; vamos rumbo a 10 años de este festival", dice a RFI Andrea Contreras, fundadora del Festival de las Flores. Además de convertirse en un jardín, este año el Festival tiene como objetivo resaltar la creación artística. "El Festival está dedicado a todos los artistas que han roto el molde. En esta ocasión es la fiesta de los artistas. Quisimos poner la mirada en el talento de nuestros artistas locales, entre ellos escritores, bailarines y pintores, no solo los locales, sino también los internacionales", explica Contreras. Importante fuente de ingresos "Es la única temporada del año en que se ve florecer a Antigua. El ambiente es muy alegre", dice uno de los visitantes. El Festival convoca anualmente a casi un millón de turistas, lo que satura hoteles, restaurantes y calles, pero también genera importantes ganancias para el país. "Yo he venido todos los años desde el primer Festival de las Flores. Antigua Guatemala es mágica: se pone uno feliz y ya no quiere irse. Pero hay una cierta hora del día, aquí en la Calle del Arco, en que ya no se puede ni siquiera pasar", comenta una mujer. Por eso, una visitante que ha acudido varias veces recomienda "venir tempranito para poder disfrutar más las cosas, mirar todo con calma y pasear un poco más por todas las áreas". Van Gogh y la Mona Lisa, fuentes de inspiración En cuanto a las fuentes de inspiración, la florista Catherine Morales, creadora de una de las obras de arte que participa en el concurso del Festival, cuenta: "Nos inspiramos en Van Gogh, la Mona Lisa y las pinturas más famosas del mundo. Empezamos a trabajar desde hace una semana. Aquí traemos el vinilo y las pinturas. Hay que prepararlo todo para luego venir a armarlo aquí. Así es más fácil. Armarlo toma aproximadamente una semana, aunque la idea viene ya de algunos meses". Otro eje de esta novena edición es la protección de la naturaleza. Por eso, Andrea Contreras resalta: "Ahorita estamos apuntando a mucho más con un festival más verde. Desde el año pasado estamos recolectando todas las flores que se utilizan en el Festival para llevarlas luego al compostaje. De esta manera volvemos a retribuir a la tierra". Coincidiendo con el inicio del equinoccio, Guatemala lo celebra con flores y arte que reafirman la belleza y el estilo inigualable de Antigua.

How England Celebrated Accession Day Like a National Holiday   Every year on 17th November, England erupted in bells, bonfires, and jousting tournaments, all to celebrate Queen Elizabeth I's Accession Day.

Knights broke lances before the Queen, the people burned effigies of the Pope, and Elizabeth became “England's Deborah,” the saviour of Protestant England. Discover how one day in 1558 became the biggest celebration in Tudor England, and how it lived on for centuries after the Virgin Queen's death. Listen now to uncover the story behind England's greatest royal festival. #ElizabethI #TudorHistory #AccessionDay #Gloriana #TudorEngland #History

In this episode of the No Film School podcast, GG Hawkins and Ryan Koo dig into the often‑murky world of film release strategy and distribution from multiple angles—and then sit down with acclaimed filmmaker Ruben Fleischer to trace his path from indie start to big‑budget studio productions. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins, Ryan Koo, and guest Ruben Fleischer discuss… GG's journey with her micro‑budget feature I Really Love My Husband: festival strategy, light theatrical run, and streaming rollout The importance of marketing and audience‑building even for indie films (“the extra 50% of effort after picture‑lock”) Festival submission strategy: premium “buyer's festivals” vs regional festivals, world‑premiere constraints, and timing decisions Tools and tactics: creating trailer/sizzle assets, leveraging sales & festival reps, doing the reference‑check on distributors Real‑world rejection: extracting learning from “pass” notes and small deals, how to choose between flashy name vs partner who will work for you The one‑to‑one interview with Ruben Fleischer: his early career, moving from shorts/commmercials to features, how he handles large‑scale shoots, visualising scenes, leading big crews, and navigating reshoots Ruben's key pieces of advice for emerging filmmakers: making things now, learning by doing, honing your craft by continuing to create A bonus deep‑dive into how even locked‑picture films still require a lot of narrative strategy, deliverables, and business savvy in order to land distribution Memorable Quotes: “If you are going to bend over backwards, invest all this time, energy, and effort into making a film, but you're not going to do the same for getting the word out there … you are setting yourself up for failure.” “Submitting to a film festival is like getting down on one knee and asking someone to marry you, but then you have to wait months for the response.” “I always go in with an intention of how I would imagine blocking the scene… but I'm also very flexible in working with actors.” “The only real way to direct stuff is to go out and do it.” Guests: Ruben Fleischer Resources: Shoot in Three Months – No Film School Filmmaker's Guide to SXSW – No Film School A First‑Timer's Guide to the Cannes Film Festival – No Film School Microbudget Filmmaker Podcast – No Film School Why Indie Film Distribution Is About to Go Punk Rock – No Film School Where to watch I Really Love My Husband: Apple TV: I Really Love My Husband Amazon: I Really Love My Husband Google Play: I Really Love My Husband Where to watch Amateur (Ryan's first feature): Netflix Ryan's podcast series First Feature – a case study about the making of Amateur: SoundCloud – No Film School Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School (https://nofilmschool.com/) Facebook: No Film School on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool) Twitter: No Film School on Twitter (https://twitter.com/nofilmschool) YouTube: No Film School on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool) Instagram: No Film School on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool)  

The Festival of Hungry Ghosts is upon us – and today on Script Apart, we're betting it all on black. Ballad Of A Small Player is the casino-set new drama from director Edward Berger and writer Rowan Joffe, adapted from the novel of the same name by author Lawrence Osborne. It follows Colin Farrell as a character who introduces himself as Lord Boyle – an aristocratic charmer, who we soon come to learn is seriously, existentially adrift amid the slot machines and baccarat tables of Macau's gambling houses. As Boyle's true self – and name – is revealed, we tumble with him down a neon-splashed, teal-and-red rabbit hole of addiction and emptiness. And it was this emptiness I was particularly eager to discuss when I sat down recently with Edward and Rowan, across two separate conversations. Rowan is the creator of the TV show Tin Star, and the writer of films like 28 Weeks Later and Before I Go To Sleep, which he also directed. He's also, as tells me in this conversation, a recovering alcoholic, sober for many years. Edward, meanwhile – well, if you've followed the Oscars and indeed this show over the last few years, Edward needs little introduction. Conclave, his 2024 drama about the election of a new pope, and All Quiet On The Western Front, his 2022 Best International Picture-winning war epic, have seen him rocket to modern cinema's top table in terms of respected auteurs.In the midst of that success, though, Edward has described finding himself plagued by an empty feeling. And in this episode, he tells me how that informed this latest story. We get into the curiosity that drives his storytelling and also clear up something I read long ago about Ed's love of rollerskating – and I also hear from Rowan about what it is that he thinks casinos represent in our culture; the capitalist tendencies they act as temples to.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

In this episode, Jordan Corn and Marcus Cauchi dissect the deeply flawed traditional approach to employee performance evaluation, the "Annual Festival of Fiction". They challenge the idea that reviews serve their intended purpose and share actionable frameworks for leaders to build continuous growth systems, rather than just checking boxes. Key Themes for Leaders and Managers 1. The Broken System: Checking Boxes vs. Driving Growth Traditional performance reviews are often theatre: they replace truth with formality and create anxiety instead of growth. When managers simply mark a three on a scale to avoid justification, they are "checking a box". The problem is systemic: reviews often exist as a paper trail for pay decisions and compliance, not for meaningful reflection or planning. Some reflection is better than none, but if the process isn't valuable or valued, it won't change much. 2. Relationships Come First Effective performance management starts with the manager-employee relationship. Reviews fail if the manager is a bully, a micromanager, or insecure. Psychological Safety and Vulnerability: Managers must earn the right to tell the truth by showing vulnerability, asking where staff need help and seeking their advice. Bidirectional Feedback: Feedback should flow in all directions. Employees need to feel safe critiquing management, and managers must be willing to listen without defensiveness. 3. Frequency, Focus, and Continuous Improvement Waiting a year is too long. Annual reviews without ongoing feedback are "like washing once a year". Real performance management is continuous, like adjusting a plane mid-flight. Agile Coaching: Regular micro check-ins: monthly 15–30 minutes or daily three-minute updates keep everyone aligned. Focus on Strengths: Lean into what people do well. Reviews should energise, not dwell on weaknesses. Separate Compensation: Tying pay to reviews is "absolutely inane" and undermines their value. 4. Systemic Issues: Hiring and Alignment Problems often start at recruitment. High turnover results from compromise, or searching for mythical “purple unicorns,” creating systems built to reject rather than select the right fit. Self-Awareness: Reviews can become "behavioral reviews," helping employees understand how they show up and how others respond. Preparation Over Ambush: Managers should prime employees a week in advance and encourage reflection from both sides. The goal is to synchronise reality, not sanitise it. Final Takeaway If you can't run a review rooted in honesty, psychological safety, and growth - or if you limit them to once a year - Jordan Corn says, "throw the whole thing out". Instead, leaders should redesign the process around the human being first, then fill in whatever is required for compliance. For teams stuck in the "Festival of Fiction," Marcus shares systemic models to "model and scale human judgment" and even measure trust as a hard metric, helping embed learning, dignity, and accountability into management practices.   Connect with Jordan on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-corn/ Connect with Marcus https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcuscauchi/ And if you'd like to be a guest contact me https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannecauchi/  

Jennifer Newton, deputy royal editor at the Daily Mirror, is joined by Charlotte Foster to look at how the Royals paid tribute to veterans across Remembrance Day events in the UK. They discuss the significance of Prince George's attendance at the Festival of Remembrance, and the emotional reaction of King Charles and Queen Camilla at the events. Jennifer and Charlotte also ask whether the controversy around Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attending a Kardashian family party on Remembrance Sunday is all that it seems.
