Fighting Jew hatred starts with refusing to apologize for standing up for yourself.When do you stop waiting for someone else to fix it and start doing something yourself? That's the question at the heart of this conversation between Lindsay Pinchuk and Brooke Goldstein, a human rights attorney, award-winning filmmaker, and founder of the Lawfare Project and End Jew Hatred.Brooke shares how one moment during law school altered the entire course of her life, pulling her from a path toward entertainment law into war zones, courtrooms, and a global movement to defend the rights of the Jewish people. She explains how she came to understand that the real battleground wasn't just in politics or public opinion. It was in the legal system, the education system, and the stories we're told about who deserves protection.Together, Lindsay and Brooke dig into why the Jewish community has never had a unified civil rights movement in America and why that needs to change now. They talk about the importance of clear messaging, consequences for discrimination, and showing up with courage, even when it's uncomfortable.This episode is a call to action… for truth, for unity, and for real, lasting impact.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Introduction 03:11 Meet Brooke Goldstein05:06 The Story That Changed Everything07:04 Making The Making of a Martyr09:01 Hate Education and Its Consequences13:37 Founding the Lawfare Project18:03 October 7th and the Rise of End Jew Hatred20:05 Why We Need a Jewish Civil Rights Movement22:03 What Successful Movements Have in Common30:42 Tactics for Fighting Jew Hatred34:08 Grassroots Action and Consequences37:18 Messaging That Unifies43:56 Advice for Founders Taking Hard PathsConnect with Brooke Goldstein:https://www.instagram.com/realbrookegoldstein/https://www.thelawfareproject.org/https://www.endjewhatred.com/Tickets for Dear FoundHer... on Tour: https://sopacnow.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a0FPa000002eDS1MAMJoin the Dear FoundHer...

BUILD A GREENER FUTURE:

Battle Of LA, 14min., USA Directed by Patrick Pizzolorusso During one of Los Angeles' most bizarre evenings in 1942, a ‘something' was spotted over the skies. A ‘something' that the anti-aircraft batteries opened fire on. A ‘something' that a young scientist finds at a small crash site and brings back to her home.Throughout the evening her colleague and her do their best to figure out what it is and what they need to do. https://tinyrocketfilms.com/ https://www.instagram.com/pactorpizz/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? The need to make my own work. Hollywood isn't calling, unfortunately. I know I am surrounded by an incredibly talented circle of friends and felt the time was right for us to all come together and create something we could all be proud of. Something that could showcase all our talents. From my incredibly gifted cinematographer, to my editor, sound designers, colorist, and of course, we actors in it. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? I had such a feeling of relief and validation. Relief that people liked something that I've put out there into the world. And validation that the ideas we had going into this and the vision I had for this film were clear and viewers picked up on everything. I finished watching it with a big sigh and just said out loud to nobody, “they got it!” Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

In this episode Bay Area filmmaker Claudia Katayanagi goes into great detail about the myriad little-known incarceration camps that the federal government created to keep Japanese American "troublemakers" away from those confined in the larger and better known incarceration camps following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, HI. Her first two documentaries--"A Bitter Legacy" and "Community in Crisis" offer a fresh retelling of the courageous efforts of the Japanese Americans to endure terrible injustices and hardships, while fighting back against the forces of anti-Japanese racism. Today, many Japanese Americans are pushing back against the unjust deportation and incarceration policies of the Trump administration aimed at brown-skinned people.

Last week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’s Board of Governors announced it would add a new category to its awards ceremony starting 2028– Achievement in Stunt Design. This serves as a major win for the many stuntmen and stuntwomen who’ve lobbied for such an award, with their line of work having existed since the inception of film. Although stunts from the likes of Buster Keaton won’t ever be able to win such an award, there are plenty of recent films that have drawn crowds for their stunts. Whether it be the Mission Impossible or John Wick films, well-designed action sequences have kept moviegoers’ attention, which makes rewarding their stunt designers a great decision as we inch closer to the 100th annual Academy Awards. For this week’s FilmWeek feature, Larry and this week’s critics discuss this news with filmmaker and longtime stuntman, Chad Stahelski. Visit www.preppi.com/LAist to receive a FREE Preppi Emergency Kit (with any purchase over $100) and be prepared for the next wildfire, earthquake or emergency!

Send us a textWhy is military transition so difficult?Kerron Andrews captures it perfectly: “It's the loss of our entire identity.”For so many of us, the military isn't just a job—it's our foundation, our purpose, and at times, the only constant we've had.

So when that chapter ends, it's not just a career we leave behind—it's a version of ourselves.That's my story. And it's the story of so many others who dedicate years, even decades, to service.I'm honored to welcome Kerron Andrews to the Stories of Service podcast. He's a Navy veteran, TEDx speaker, and now an award-winning filmmaker whose work is helping others navigate the complex path of military transition.We'll dive into what inspired his powerful TED Talk, why he chose filmmaking as a second calling, and how he's using his creative voice to help others reclaim their identity and purpose beyond the uniform.You won't want to miss this one.Find

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this video, I dive into the filmmakers who have inspired me the most throughout my journey in filmmaking. From Quentin Tarantino's unique storytelling style to Christopher Nolan's innovative techniques, I share my thoughts on what makes their work so impactful. Tarantino's use of violence as a stylistic choice and his chapter-based storytelling in films like 'Kill Bill' have always fascinated me. I appreciate how he keeps audiences guessing about how the chapters connect, creating a compelling narrative. Wes Anderson's attention to detail, especially in films like 'Asteroid City,' captivates me as well. I often find myself watching films on airplanes, fully immersed in the experience, and Anderson's work is no exception. His characters and storytelling approach resonate deeply with me. Then there's Christopher Nolan, who I admire for his ability to tell complex stories in a concise manner. His background in commercial advertising has shaped his storytelling skills, allowing him to convey powerful narratives in a short amount of time. I discuss how his films, like 'Interstellar,' explore profound themes of family and sacrifice, and how his commitment to practical effects enhances the viewing experience. I also touch on the importance of a strong script, as seen in shows like 'Westworld,' and how it can keep viewers engaged across multiple episodes. I reflect on the emotional depth of films like 'Interstellar' and 'Oppenheimer,' and how they leave a lasting impact on audiences. Join me as I explore these filmmakers' influences and share my passion for cinema. Whether you're a budding filmmaker or a film enthusiast, there's something to learn from these masters of storytelling.

Some days I'm basically skipping to the damn truck, caffeine in hand, ready to wrestle with whatever the day throws at me. But here's the twist: what keeps me really dialed in out there isn't just the work—it's having something else I'm fired up about. For me, that's this podcast project. It's not a side hustle or a time-killer. It's something I give a real shit about. So I bust my ass during the day, not just to finish the job, but to earn the time to go all-in on something that lights a different kind of fire. And yeah, it's all connected. I want to be on point with the podcast so I can chill with my family, hit the gym, and show up sharp at the poker table. It's passion feeding passion. One thing fuels the next. Keeps me sharp. Keeps me sane. And honestly, keeps me from turning into one of those “I live for the weekend” zombies. No thanks. I've got shit to do. 'til next time!

PAGES IN THE WIND, 14min., USA Directed by Lucas Haviland As Bailey sits in the park, he starts to reminisce about his journal entries over the past month. Through flashes to these entries, Bailey and his boyfriend, Gavin, experience the various intricate elements of their relationship. All the while Bailey takes in the environment around him in the present day. When his best friend, Corrine, stops by to surprise him, they start to catch up on the past week. Bailey quickly remembers that his entries might be less realistic than he wants them to be. And that his roommate, Gavin, will probably never be the man he needs in his life. https://www.instagram.com/havilandfilms/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? The film's exploration of romantic love and the lengths someone would go to experience it are rooted in my own thoughts surrounding the lack of that kind of love in my life. The exploration and need to put an image to these thoughts and showcase yearning is what drives my motivation in making this film. All to answer the question: To what lengths will someone go to feel love? Seeing and working on the creative projects of my friends and classmates, this motivation was kept alive and continued to grow until the final results of the film that was screened at this festival. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Going into the audience feedback video, I was nervous solely because of my perfectionistic tendencies and the miniscule things I wanted to try to change. This quickly changed to excitement and general appreciation for the thoughts, praise, and constructive feedback from the audience. It was reassuring to hear about parts that I was hesitant about being well-received by the viewers and for the themes to come across even in the ambiguity of the film.

I DIDN'T LIKE YOU, 12min., USA Directed by Parker Fenady As Emilia and Maxine spy on their best friend's first date, they come to realize the chemistry might not be between the couple they anticipated. https://www.instagram.com/parkerfenady/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? For me, this story was always the one. It's my opener—my “Hey, this is me. This is what I'm about” piece. Coming of age can feel electric, like you're catching lightning in a bottle as you live it. This is a first love story—a rush in every sense of the word. More than that, it's about all the little moments that once made you feel out of place, suddenly dissolving in an instant. It's about the euphoria of finally feeling at home in your own skin, independent of anyone else's opinions. That was this story for me. At the same time, I was drawn to how naturally this story fit into the short film medium. That feeling of transience—of being thrown right into something before you've had time to make sense of it—mirrors the experience of coming of age itself. It rarely has a clear start or finish, and it's almost never a clean break. The short form captures that immediacy, that fleeting intensity. And beyond that, it's a fun movie. Bringing a little slice of fun into the world felt like a nobe idea. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? To be honest—it was completely surreal. We're just starting to show the film to audiences beyond those directly involved, so seeing how it's landing is incredible. Watching people engage with the film in such an intimate way was so special. I never fully imagined this part of the process, so I'm just trying to stay present and take it as it comes. When watching the audience feedback, I kept thinking: yes, girl, she gets it. She's eating in her textual analysis. Seeing the audience pick up on the subtlety and layers beneath the surface was incredibly rewarding. It made me realize the impact of every small choice, bringing me right back to the edit. It's a testament to all the unseen, often tedious collaborative work that went into it—work that wouldn't have been possible without Luke, Cooper, and Alexis, who were with me every step of the way. Working with Alexis, Katelyn, Yasmeen, and Nate was truly a masterclass for me as a director. They're all so brilliant, talented, and dedicated. They are the heart of this project, each in their own way, and I'm just so excited to be able to honor and showcase their work. This is a performance-driven piece, and seeing them get their flowers makes me feel incredibly proud.

“We want to change the narrative, so we as Africans can stop being portrayed only as the poacher, the ranger, the guide, or are people who sing for you when you jump off your safari vehicle. From the presenters to the camera teams to the scientific experts, Africa's wildlife stories have been mainly told by western documentary teams from large international broadcasters like the BBC and Netflix. However this is starting to change, as African filmmakers are gaining the skills and expertise to make nature documentaries from an African perspective. Alan Kasujja speaks to a South African couple who have been spear-heading this change, Pragna and Noel Kok, and also a marine scientist from Tanzania, Nancy Iraba, about her journey into filmmaking.

When the most wanted man in America surfaces in a small Kentucky town, his violent history ― and a bloodthirsty mob seeking vengeance and a king's ransom ― soon follow. As brothers face off against one another and bullets tear the town to shreds, this lightning-fast gunslinger makes his enemies pay the ultimate price for their greed. Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage, Stephen Dorff, and Heather Graham star in this action-packed Western-thriller about true justice in the Wild West. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT - BRIAN SKIBA The Western genre has always carried a timeless allure—tales of justice, revenge, and survival in the face of lawlessness. With Gunslingers, I wanted to create a film that not only honors the great Westerns that came before but also brings something fresh and bold to the table. This film is about outlaws, redemption, and the harsh reality of a world where the line between good and evil is razor-thin. Bringing Gunslingers to life has been a journey of passion and perseverance, a two-year odyssey filled with challenges and triumphs. At its core, this is a story about a wanted man who stumbles upon a hidden town—a sanctuary for criminals—only to realize that salvation comes at a cost. When a relentless posse arrives to collect on the town's entire population, the stage is set for an explosive battle where survival is the only currency that matters. With an extraordinary cast led by Stephen Dorff, Heather Graham, and Nicolas Cage, we've crafted a world that feels gritty, raw, and authentically Western. Their performances bring depth and intensity to the story, breathing life into characters who exist in a world where justice is often a matter of who draws first. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of Grindstone executive Barry Brooker and my producing partner/star, Laurie Love, whose dedication helped shape this film into what it is today. Gunslingers is more than just a Western—it's a film about the choices we make when the odds are against us. It's a tribute to the spirit of those who refuse to back down, who fight for their survival, no matter the cost. For fans of the genre, this is a must-watch, and I can't wait for audiences to experience the world we've built.   Stay connected with me here.    

https://megashia.comBioBorn in Kansas City and raised in Los Angeles, Megashia Jackson is a comedian, musician, model, motivational speaker and mother of three who has overcome a multitude of challenges to become the woman she is today.At the tender age of four, a babysitter poured hot water on her as punishment for being too noisy. She received second and third degree burns over fifty percent of her body, was taken away from her mother, hospitalized and in recovery for over a year. When she was finally well enough to go to school, she was mercilessly teased about her burn scars. But she had two secret weapons: a mind of steel and laughter. After learning “fire breathing” techniques as a way to deal with her physical pain, Megashia wasn't affected by the hurtful taunts of her classmates. And when she realized that laughter was the best way to fight her bullies, she became the class clown and started to develop her gift for comedy.Megashia's grandmother owned a record store, and she was exposed to many genres of music there. She soon began to pursue her own musical interests, playing brass instruments in several school bands before settling on her true love – percussion. A career in music was put on hold when she had children and needed to do something more practical.Coming from a long line of beauticians, Megashia decided to go to cosmetology school. It turns out she also had a talent for making her clients look and feel beautiful, opening a thriving hair salon and creating a line of hair care products.Today Megashia's biggest goal is to inspire other women. She completed the leadership program at A New Way of Life, an organization helping formerly incarcerated women reconnect with their purpose. She is an ordained minister specializing in the Ministry of Music, using traditional African Drumming and healing principles to uplift and connect with women who are going through their own challenges. She composed and recorded jazz inspired songs for the First Woman's Church's Music Ministry and drummed for campaigns supporting immigrants' rights and prison reform. She is also an active participant in Toastmasters International, winning awards for her use of humor in her speeches. She enjoys speaking to young women about self-care and increasing self-esteem.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
