All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton sat down for an in-depth interview with Max Sherman the author of the book "Releasing the Butterfly: A Love Affair in Four Acts". Max Sherman, with a notable career in public service and academia, has served as a Texas State Senator, President of West Texas State University, and Dean of the LBJ School of Public Affairs. His leadership roles also include President of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Vice President of the Harry S Truman Scholarship Foundation. Active on several boards, including the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Sherman is also the author of "Barbara Jordan: Speaking the Truth with Eloquent Thunder". About "Releasing the Butterfly: A Love Affair in Four Acts": Three years since its initial release, Releasing the Butterfly: A Love Affair In Four Acts, authored by former Texas State Senator Max Sherman and his wife, Gene Alice, continues to make a profound impact on individuals and families dealing with Alzheimer's disease. The book, which has been celebrated for its raw and honest depiction of life as a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's, brings a much-needed focus to the often-overlooked experiences of caregivers. Since its publication, Releasing the Butterfly has become more than a book; it's evolved into a movement of awareness and empathy for the millions of Alzheimer's caregivers worldwide. It tells the captivating story of Max and Gene Alice, who met as teenagers in a Texas Panhandle jail, forging a bond over shared interests in literature and the arts. Raised in humble, blue-collar families, their relationship matured in the 1950s, evolving into a partnership of mutual respect and equality. This decades-long love story, rooted in a strong foundation of education and faith, faces its greatest challenge when Gene Alice is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The narrative beautifully captures their enduring love and resilience, showing how deep bonds can withstand even the most heartrending trials. The book has received acclaim from healthcare professionals, Alzheimer's advocacy groups, and readers alike. It has sparked conversations about the critical role of caregivers in the journey of Alzheimer's, leading to greater recognition and resources for those in this challenging role.

“I'm a lawyer by trade, politician by practice, and an academic by accident.” These are the musings of the remarkable, and I have to say, charming, Max Sherman. In Episode 89, we interviewed a young and energetic 89 years old, Max Sherman. Max's life has been significantly influenced by women. But one in particular has shaped who he is today. In 1953 Max was among 4 high school boys conducting a church service at a local jail when he first laid eyes on a Gene Alice, who was there with her fold up field organ. And their love affair still thrives to this day... In 2002 Gene Alice started noticing that something was different and soon after was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Through the inevitable progression of the disease Max and Gene Alice's journey together is now chronicled in the beautiful and poignant memoir, “Releasing the Butterfly: A Love Affair in Four Acts”. It's a caregiver's story and journey. An honest, heart wrenching and insightful look at not only the disease but of a bond that could not be broken. Max shares many of the insights he has gained as a caregiver, and thoughts on how to maintain connection even while grieving the losses of the fading abilities of a spouse living with Alzheimer's. Max boasts a rather formidable body of work which includes: Texas State Senator, President of West Texas State University, and Dean of the LBJ School of Public Affairs. His leadership roles also include President of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Vice President of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation. AND recently he was honored as an 80 over 80 recipients. Don and I had the best conversation chatting with the author of this ode to a 70 year love-affair that will warm your heart and make you want to fall in love all over again! Support the Show.

Starting with what might be the most basic editing question -- Why do cuts work? -- Murch treats the reader to a wonderful ride through the aesthetics and practical concerns of cutting film. Along the way, he offers his unique insights on such subjects as continuity and discontinuity in editing, dreaming, and reality; criteria for a good cut; the blink of the eye as an emotional cue; digital editing; and much more. In this second edition, Murch reconsiders and completely revises his popular first edition's lengthy meditation on digital editing (which accounts for a third of the book's pages) in light of the technological changes that have taken place in the six years since its publication.Get a copy herePodcast Rewind:Jan. 2024 - Ep. 24…The Making Of is published by Michael Valinsky.If you'd like to be considered as a guest, or to promote your products to over 10K top film & TV production pros reading this newsletter, email us: mvalinsky@me.com Get full access to The Making Of at themakingof.substack.com/subscribe

The fourth Sunday in Lent - Pastor Mark Bertermann
Recently I ran a brief workshop during a weekly meeting of my Master Networks chapter. I pretty much have carte blanche during these trainings, so I try to change it up quite a bit. This time, I took a different approach altogether and, instead of presenting ideas or leading a discussion, I turned it into a controlled brainstorming session. I asked the twenty-plus people in the Zoom room, “what is a leader?”The response was excellent with almost everyone able to contribute a word, phrase, thought, or definition in the ten minutes we had to complete this training. Later I shared a written synopsis with the participants. In it, I formulated a definition of a leader based on our brainstorming:A leader is someone who guides others while serving alongside them, nurturing them, and focusing on self-improvement for themself and the entire team.

Writing a successful fictional narrative is the dream of many authors, but structuring the plot in a way that captivates readers can be a really daunting task because there are several approaches to organising a story. The three-act structure, four-act structure, and five-act structure are the most popular options. Each one offers unique advantages and disadvantages, but all three can be used to create a powerful and compelling narrative. Let's take a closer look. You can read the accompanying blog post here.

Tejanaland: A Writing Life in Four Acts (Texas A&M UP, 2021) by Teresa Palomo Acosta--poet, historian, author, and activist--spans three decades of her writing, from 1988 through 2018. The collection is divided into four parts: poems, essays, a children's story, and plays. Each work addresses cultural, historical, political, and gender realities that she experienced from her childhood to the present. The plays, set in the Central Texas Blackland Prairies where Acosta was raised, provide a unique Latina vision of memory, identity, and experience and are a vital contribution to Chicana feminist thought. The essays focus on Acosta's literary heroes Jovita González de Mireles, Sara Estela Ramírez, and Elena Zamora O'Shea, important writers who contributed significantly to Tejana literature and to Texas letters. The children's story, "Colchas, Colchitas," is based on Acosta's most notable poem, "My Mother Pieced Quilts," which pays homage to her mother and the many women of her generation who employed needles and thread, creating both practical and symbolic artifacts. This collection is a creative and, indeed, essential expansion of boundaries for what we think of as history, offering a unique and compelling look into the lived experiences and interior contemplations of a Texas artist well worth knowing. Readers will increase their understanding of Tejana experience in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Tejanaland promises to become an important addition to the cultural record, informing historical perspectives on the experiences of Tejana women and contributing significantly to the existing body of work from Tejana writers. Tiffany González is an Assistant Professor of History at James Madison University. She is a historian of Chicana/Latinx history, American politics, and social movements.

In recent years Indonesian cinema has enjoyed great success and acclaim at international film festivals around the world. In 2017 Mouly Surya's film 'Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts' was met with rave reviews when it premiered at Cannes Film Festival and last month Edwin's 'Vengeance Is Mine, All Other's Pay Cash', based on the novel of the same name by Eka Kurniawan, took out the top award at the Locarno Festival in Switzerland. This so-called Indonesian New Wave is made up of a generation of filmmakers in their 30s and 40s who have come of age in post-New Order Indonesia. Their films tackle weighty themes like gender identity and inequality, historical injustice, sexual violence, family tragedy and the tensions between youth culture and tradition. Themes that transcend and translate for audiences around the world. Meanwhile, films including Joko Anwar's suite of commercially successful and acclaimed horror and action flicks are also finding international audiences on streaming platforms around the world. What is behind this new wave of cinema in Indonesia? What is behind this international success? Is that being translated into audiences for these films at home and what are the challenges facing this industry in a pandemic? My guest today is Yulia Evina Bhara a film producer and founder of KawanKawan Media, a Jakarta-based film production house that focuses on international co-production. Yulia is also a member of the Jury for the ReelOzInd! Australia Indonesia Short Film Festival. Jemma Purdey is director of ReelOzInd! Image: @yuliaevinabhara | Instagram

Musician/logician/filmician Michael J. Epstein and I prepare ourselves to rewatch Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991), and the conversation quite naturally shifts to torture porn, the pyramids at Giza, and supposedly feminist rape-revenge movies. I mean, obviously, right? You can find Michael's work at https://launchover.com/ If you missed Liquid Television from back in the day, all the “Psychogram” segments are assembled at https://youtu.be/-Y678pI9ry0 Finally, the Mongolian rape-revenge movie I mentioned was actually Indonesian, which I screwed up because I'm dumb. It's called Malina the Murderer in Four Acts, and you can see the trailer at https://youtu.be/sTuAVGhmgto
April is gone, and so is one of the best streaks of good/great films I've had. From classics like The Invisible Man and The Graduate, to more modern, critically acclaimed films like Parasite and Hell or High Water, to more obscure foreign films like Aniara or Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts. Come listen to me talk about these and a few others!Music: Joseph McDade - Barkbot 2000Gone with the Wind clip (c) Warner Bros.
Listen Wednesday at 1:00 pm Eugene O'Neill doesn't get enough credit. His plays are a form of therapy. O'Neill forces us to watch the raw pain of our human condition, the disillusionment and existential fear that we push into the background. O'Neill's plays are dark but there's a catharsis in confronting our deepest fears and illusions. Who is the man behind the works and what can they teach us about ourselves and this current cultural moment. GUESTS: Robert Dowling - Professor of English at Central CT State University, author of Eugene O’Neill: A Life in Four Acts, and President of the Eugene O’Neill Society. Howard Fishman - frequent contributor to The New Yorker, performer, and composer. Jeanie Hackett - actor, director, author, and artist-in-charge at The Workroom. Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter Colin McEnroe and Jonathan McNicol contributed to this show. Jared Todd produced this show.

FXFS2EP3_RISE OF NY DOCUMENTARY_Sam Pollard_Lilllian BensonPLAY PODCAST For Sam Pollard, Emmy and Peabody award-winning a director, producer, picture editor and frequent collaborator with Spike Lee ( Style Wars, Mo' Better Blues, Girl 6, Bamboozled, Clockers, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, Four Little Girls and August Wilson: The Ground on Which I Stand) , and for Lillian Benson, recipient of the 2017 Motion Picture Editor's Guild Fellowship and Service Award and Emmy and Peabody award-winning picture editor (Get In The Way: The Journey of John Lewis and Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise) documentary filmmaking has proven to be the most powerful form of expression artistically, personally and professionally. Coming up during the civil rights movement of the late 1960's and 70's New York they recognized the documentary film form as a medium that amplified their own voices and talents in telling the story of African Americans. Though their paths crossed on several New York- based projects, it was the Peabody and multi-Emmy award winning, Eyes on the Prize Parts 1 and 2, the landmark 14-part documentary series, telling the story of the American civil rights movement from 1952 to 1985 that was the most pivotal experience. In this episode, Pollard and Benson tell their story of rising up through the New York documentary film scene to become two of the most important and influential documentarians of their generation. Frame By Frame is a podcast series hosted by editor Isabel Sadurni, that introduces you to the most influential, respected and accomplished cinema post-production professionals working in New York today. Through intimate, informal discussions between collaborators about post-production craft, aesthetics, process and technique, we'll recognize and celebrate the iconic films and people that have made New York film history as well as those contemporaries who continue to make important contributions to the art of filmmaking. In conversations anchored by the film editor, we'll share the stories that define New York as an essential ongoing capital of the global film industry. Proudly presented by the Post New York Alliance and the New York Motion Picture Editors Guild. Produced By Isabel Sadurni and Ben Baker.
