Send us a Text Message.Rob Marby and I discuss filmmaking and his bucket list project, The Legend of El Chupacabra.*****Rob Mabry was born on November 22, 1966, in San Antonio, Texas.  He spent the better part of his youth in Bavaria (Germany), where his parents both worked for the US government.  He developed a love of movies at an early age through countless hours spent at Sunday matinees on the tiny Air Force base in Bad Aibling, Germany where he lived.  His father owned an 8mm movie camera and often enlisted his son in home movie projects.  The spark was lit.  Mabry spent his formative years indulging his passion for storytelling.  He developed his own comic books, wrote plays for his friend's to perform and when his dad was feeling generous; he borrowed the 8mm movie camera and experimented making movies.In the eighties, Mabry enlisted in the US Army and joined a public affairs unit as a military journalist.  While highly regarded as a writer, he found the life of a soldier to be rigid and ill-suited to his non-conformist attitude.  Eventually, he and the Army would part ways.  In his twenties, Mabry pursued a career as a screenwriter.  He wrote a number of spec scripts that garnered limited attention.  Living in Atlanta and outside the Hollywood system, prospects were dim and he resolved to focus on a career that would support his family. In 2017, Mabry signed up for the 48-Hour Film Project in San Antonio, a film race to write, shoot, edit and deliver a 4-7 minute short film in just two days.  He would go on to compete in a dozen more “48s” and complete over twenty short films ranging in length from three to thirty minutes, but the job wasn't finished.Although his short films were recognized in multiple film festivals, earning laurels and awards along the way, the dream of making a feature-length film still burned.  Emerging from the fog of COVID, Mabry resolved to make the dream a reality and spent the next six months developing the script for his first feature film, “The Legend of El Chupacabra.”   (The Movie is now available on Tubi.)The horror-comedy was financed through crowdfunding, personal funds and support from friends and family.  Filming was done mostly on the weekends in the fall of 2022 and a heavy load of post-production work and visual effects took up most of 2023.  The film had its local premiere in October of 2023 and debuted on DVD/Blu-ray on May 10, 2024.  The Legend of El Chupacabra will hit streaming platforms in the Summer of 2024.  Mabry believes that there is a lesson in his journey to become a feature film writer/director.  He frequently shares his adage that “It is never too late to make your first movie.  It is never too late to live out your dream.” Website: https://www.chupacabramovie.com/*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comThis episode is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-gCtLb85ceMFollow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomHave a question or want to be a guest on the podcast email: dauna@bettertopodcast.comHave a question for our producer Rich Zei contact him at rich.zei@thirdearaudio.comIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast SuziTo see upcoming guests click here: https://www.dmneedom.com/better-topodcastSupport the Show.

In today's episode, we dive deep into a phenomenon that's become all too familiar in the modern age: feeling paralyzed in a world teeming with infinite creative possibilities. Imagine being faced with an eternal canvas yet feeling utterly lost about where to begin. But what if we told you that this overwhelming freedom can actually hinder creativity? We explore the often-underestimated power of constraints and limitations in sparking innovation, pushing boundaries, and driving authentic creativity. Drawing inspiration from real-world examples, such as the 48 Hour Film Project and iconic photographers, we'll unveil the magic behind some of the world's most remarkable art - all birthed from constraints. Join us as we discuss: The paradox of boundless creative freedom. Real-world examples of how limitations have birthed iconic art. Strategies for cultivating constraints in your creative journey. Why constraints, often seen as hurdles, can be the secret ingredient to unlocking unparalleled creativity. Enjoy!

Butch Roussel, the founder of the 24-Hour Citizen Project, joins Discover Lafayette to discuss his passion for empowering others to make our community spaces great. He opened the show by speaking of his most important passion ever, his family: his lovely wife, his two children, and a third on the way! The 24-Hour Citizen Project connects citizens with expertise and financial backers to make community-focused ideas a reality. The organization is responsible for nearly $130,000 in private funds toward almost 30 public projects including Downtown's Lafayette sign, Krewe de Canailles, the Musical Instrument Library, the Eyes of the Sun poetry mural installation, and more.  The project was a dream of Butch Roussel's and the inspiration occurred when he was traveling too much for work, on the road in Cincinnati, Ohio, and realized he wanted to make a difference in his own community of Lafayette, Louisiana. He was asked to make a pitch at TedX and came up with an original concept he called the "48 Hour Citizen Project" which was based upon the inspiration from the 48 Hour Film Project to creatively work with friends and colleagues as they make a movie in a weekend. Of course, the project evolved and was renamed The 24 Hour Citizen Project which has been inspiring our locals to make a difference in our local quality of life for the past seven years. Applications for citizen-driven projects will be accepted beginning in June 2023. All ideas of worthy of consideration. Butch Roussel, founder of the 24 Hour Citizen Project, and Kate Durio, co-founder of ReCover Acadiana, merged their two organizations in Civicside.com as a more effective way to engage citizens to enact change. The two are good friends and longtime civic activists. "I always think about the impact of our work. We've been doing this for seven years and it can be difficult to do the same thing over and over and maintain your love of the work. The thing that keeps us going is the idea that we rely on citizens to do the work on their own ideas. It is a very people-powered concept. All we're doing is project management and putting people in touch with folks that we know and watching people do the work." Butch is a graduate of UL-Lafayette and Johns Hopkins University where he finished in Biotechnology Business. Since 2011, Butch has managed clinical trials for government, pharmaceutical and small biotechnology companies through his company, Vivo Research, LLC.  He has worked through the Best Pharmaceutical Children's Act to help expand drug labels for pediatric populations and worked on numerous epilepsy, opioid abuse potential, cardiovascular stroke, and gene therapy trials.
