Trigger Warning: In this episode, we discuss sensitive mental health topics.   As moms and as women, our mental health is incredibly important, and we should be having conversations about it. The problem is, many of us feel ashamed by the stigmas attached to the subject, and as a result, those conversations aren't happening.    How can we banish those feelings of shame for good, so we can talk about our experiences with others and get the help we need, when we need it? How can we start giving ourselves permission to open up so we don't need to suffer in silence?    In this episode, author of A Mouthful of Air and director of the film based on the novel, Amy Koppelman shares how to allow ourselves to feel true joy again.    3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   The key to feeling less alone Baby Blues affect approximately 80% of all mothers, so why is it that most women experiencing it feel so alone? Is there anything we can do to change that?   1 small step we can take to make a positive difference today Mental health issues affect such a big portion of women across the world that ‘solving' the problem can seem impossible. What can we do to help just one person, everyday?    Why we need to re-think the impact social media has on mental health We hear a lot about the dangers of social media for mental health, but could there be a benefit to the platforms?   Guest Bio-    Amy Koppelman is the author of three critically acclaimed novels: A Mouthful of Air, I Smile Back, and Hesitation Wounds, a 2016 Independent Publisher Book Award winner.

Hey Sister!  I am so excited about today's episode, as I've been waiting so long to share it.  For most women, having a baby is a wonderful and joyful time. For some, it can be a very stressful, anxious time. It can also produce something that one might not expect – depression. Many women will experience “baby blues” following childbirth that usually last a few days up to 6 weeks. Sometimes, a more severe form occurs called  Postpartum depression – symptoms include depressed mood, sleep issues,  crying all the time, feelings of worthlessness, intrusive thoughts, plus several other symptoms. This period also increases the risk of suicide or suicide ideation.   On this episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I talk with Amy Koppelman, author, and director of the upcoming movie, Mouthful of Air. Amy and I share our individual journey of experiencing postpartum depression as well as, imposter syndrome, and not being afraid to ask for help. We also discuss her novel, A Mouthful of Air which inspired this powerful movie, which hits theatres on October 29th!

Thomas Sadoski, Thomas Mazziotti and Face2face host David Peck talk about The Mimic, socio-paths, loss, the old school, mental health issues, rapid fire dialogue, and why you need to keep ringing the bell.TrailerFind out more about the film here.Synopsis:Based on a true story, this clever, intriguing, and hyperbolic comedy follows the main character - the Narrator (Thomas Sadoski) who is befriended by his young new neighbor 'the Kid’ (Jake Robinson), after he joins the local newspaper team. Obsessed with the idea that the Kid may be a sociopath, the Narrator goes to extreme lengths to uncover the truth about him and his wife, a woman he ultimately begins to fancy.Between long walks down the street, a twisted dinner date, and a car drive gone terribly wrong, the Narrator gets closer and closer to the truth about the Kid. But the truth, as he finds, is anything but what he expected. "Sociopaths have been portrayed as a shady bunch up until now. Inspired by true events, this confrontational comedy explores the uncharted territory of the lighter side of a sociopath,” says Mazziotti. “I applaud Gravitas Ventures introducing audiences to an alternate character dynamic which has yet to be portrayed under comedic scrutiny on screen, yet he lives among us all.”About Thomas and Thomas:Thomas Sadoski will next star in the upcoming CBS series Tommy, which stars Edie Falco as the first female chief of police for Los Angeles. Equal parts political, procedural, and family drama, Tommy comes from Paul Attanasio, the creator of Bull and Homicide: Life on the Street. On the big screen, he was most recently featured alongside Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfried in The Last Word, directed by Mark Pellington, and reprised his role as Jimmy in John Wick: Chapter Two, starring Keanu Reeves. He will next star in the independent comedy The Mimic, which also stars Jake Robinson, Gina Gershon and Jessica Walter, and will soon begin production opposite Lucy Liu in the romance drama, The Last Weekend in May, for director Matthew Lillard.A veteran of the stage, Sadoski most recently starred in the Public Theater production of the new Suzan-Lori Parks play, White Noise, directed by Oskar Eustis with Daveed Diggs. Over the course of his stage career, he has starred in and earned raves for his performances in a wide variety of Broadway and off-Broadway productions. His most recent New York stage appearance was opposite Amanda Seyfried in the off-Broadway production of Neil LaBute’s The Way We Get By. His previous collaboration with LaBute on reasons to be pretty earned Sadoski a nomination for a Tony Award in the Leading Actor Category, as well as Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League Award nominations. Sadoski’s other Broadway credits include Other Desert Cities for which he won an Obie Award, The House of Blue Leaves with Ben Stiller and Edie Falco, and Reckless, his Broadway debut opposite Mary-Louise Parker.Off-Broadway credits include Sam Mendes’s Bridge Project productions of As You Like It and The Tempest, Becky Shaw for which he won a Lucille Lortel Award, This is Our Youth with Mark Ruffalo, the world premiere of Elizabeth Merriweather’s The Mistakes Madeline Made, Gemini, Stay, Where We’re Born, Jump/Cut, All This Intimacy, and The General From America.Sadoski’s film credits include the critically-acclaimed film I Smile Back with Sarah Silverman and Josh Charles, the award-winning John Marc Vallee film Wild with Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern, John Wick with Keanu Reeves, Take Care with Leslie Bibb, and many others.In addition to his role as Don Keefer on HBO’s Golden Globe-nominated Aaron Sorkin series The Newsroom and the hit CBS comedy Life in Pieces, his television credits include the NBC mini-series, The Slap, a recurring role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and guest starring roles on and Ugly Betty, Law & Order: Criminal Intent. A graduate of Circle in the Square Theater School in New York City, Sadoski has worked extensively to help develop new theatrical works at New Dramatists, The Lark, The Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center and the Sundance Institute.In his free time, he works closely with the organizations INARA and War Child, which work to support children affected by war. Sadoski resides in Los Angeles.Thomas Mazziotti started in television production at WPIX in New York before graduating both from college and into filmmaking at the same time. He attended the International Film and Television Workshops in Maine, as well as, Laguna Beach, CA.His first effort, The Beep, a 20-minute short film about a killer answering machine received theatrical distribution in N.Y. and L.A. due to a Fast Track article in New York magazine. This attention enabled him to option a play by Neil Bell performed at Playwrights Horizons in N.Y. and bring Sidney Lumet's producer on board to oversee the project. Undertow opened theatrically in N.Y. and garnished much attention due to its controversial subject matter of a young policeman entrapping a gay congressman on videotape. It stars Peter Dobson from Last Exit to Brooklyn.Tom then turned his attention to comedy and optioned a Canadian short story by Peter Sellers. Charlie Hoboken opened theatrically in N.Y. and stars Jennifer Esposito, Amanda Peet, Austin Pendleton, and Tovah Feldshuh. It tells the story of a fast-talking insurance salesman that makes ends meet by being a part-time hit man. The Mimic is Tom's third feature and first original screenplay. Based on a recent true story that happened to him, it reunited him with Austin Pendleton after 20 years. The stylized vision and rapid-fire dialogue enabled him to attract an all-star cast with strong theatrical backgrounds making it possible to shoot fourteen pages of dialogue in one day.Image Copyright and Credit: Thomas Mazziotti and Circus Road Films.F2F Music and Image Copyright: David Peck and Face2Face.

Brian Koppelman and his wife Amy Koppelman saved my life. Many years after he ruined my life. First off: when he wrote the movie "Rounders" I became obsessed with poker. I went to the same club he played at and played for 365 nights, including the night my first daughter was born (I was there for the birth though!) .   I was an addict. But eventually I stopped in order to start another company. I wish I had never stopped because that other company cost me all of my money at the time.   Then he wrote several of my favorite movies after that. I didn't even know it was the same director until the first time I interviewed him here.   Now he is writing and producing my favorite TV show, "Billions" on Showtime. About an aggressive hedge fund billionaire going after an equally aggressive US Attorney played by Paul Giamatti.   Brian has been on the podcast several times but there's always so much more to talk about in terms of creativity and inspiration and how to succeed as an artist / entrepreneur.   Ditto for his wife Amy who has also been on this podcast and written three of my favorite novels. One of which was turned into a movie ("I Smile Back") starring Sarah Silverman.   But here is how they saved my life.   Awhile back I had a personal emergency. Things were going haywire.   Amy called me and said, "What's going on?" I told her.   She had me take a photo of every meal I was eating ("I want to make sure you are eating") and a photo of everyone I was eating with ("I want to make sure you are around people") and had me write to her every day what was going on in my head ("write!")   That was one time.   Another time: I lost millions of dollars in a half hour while I was on the set of "Billions" watching it be filmed.   I was called into an emergency board meeting by phone and found out the company was going to be shut down. It was a disaster.   But 90% of how we feel about a situation is determined by our choice of how we will react.

Brian Koppelman and his wife Amy Koppelman saved my life. Many years after he ruined my life. First off: when he wrote the movie “Rounders” I became obsessed with poker. I went to the same club he played at and played for 365 nights, including the night my first daughter was born (I was there for the birth though!) .   I was an addict. But eventually I stopped in order to start another company. I wish I had never stopped because that other company cost me all of my money at the time.   Then he wrote several of my favorite movies after that. I didn’t even know it was the same director until the first time I interviewed him here.   Now he is writing and producing my favorite TV show, “Billions” on Showtime. About an aggressive hedge fund billionaire going after an equally aggressive US Attorney played by Paul Giamatti.   Brian has been on the podcast several times but there’s always so much more to talk about in terms of creativity and inspiration and how to succeed as an artist / entrepreneur.   Ditto for his wife Amy who has also been on this podcast and written three of my favorite novels. One of which was turned into a movie (“I Smile Back”) starring Sarah Silverman.   But here is how they saved my life.   Awhile back I had a personal emergency. Things were going haywire.   Amy called me and said, “What’s going on?” I told her.   She had me take a photo of every meal I was eating (“I want to make sure you are eating”) and a photo of everyone I was eating with (“I want to make sure you are around people”) and had me write to her every day what was going on in my head (“write!”)   That was one time.   Another time: I lost millions of dollars in a half hour while I was on the set of “Billions” watching it be filmed.   I was called into an emergency board meeting by phone and found out the company was going to be shut down. It was a disaster.   But 90% of how we feel about a situation is determined by our choice of how we will react. Only 10% is based on the situation itself.   And since I was on the set of my favorite TV show being filmed, I decided to enjoy myself. Brian later said to me, “You lost what!? We couldn’t tell at all. You were making jokes, asking questions, and you were the last one to leave.”   I used being on the set of “Billions” to change my reaction to an otherwise horrible event. This allowed me to easily change my 90% reaction into a positive one.   So not only is Brian a creative genius, but he’s a good friend.   I went up to his offices where they are writing season 2 of “Billions” and I had maybe 1,000 more questions about creativity, writing, the arc of his career, and of course, billions of dollars.   But one thing stands out for me.   Everyone always says, as if it were advice that has come down from heaven to all writers: “Write what you know”.   Brian doesn’t agree with this.

Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy, Bill Bregoli and Logan Hill put on their bibs and talk about the bizarre new Colin Farrell film "The Lobster" but before that they talk about the amazing Turkish film "Mustang" about growing up female in repressed country - it's a film that caught everyone by surprise and has some of us wondering if it should have won the Best Foreign Language Film at the last Oscars. We also take on the drama starring comedian Sarah Silverman titled "I Smile Back" and we hear what Ms. Silverman has to say about it.

Today's guest, Amy Koppelman, is a three-time novelist (so far), mom and an incredibly insightful human being. Her latest novel is Hesitation Wounds.Amy's second book, I SMILE BACK, was turned into a movie starring Sarah Silverman that premiered at the 2015 Sundance, Toronto and Deauville Film Festivals.I wanted to sit down with Amy, because I was drawn in by her immediate, visceral writing voice, her willingness to explore places that might scare off many others and also because of her lens on the writing journey and on life.In this conversation, not only does Amy share a bundle of unfiltered advice on the creative writing process, she also takes us, very transparently, into her personal journey and her lifelong dance with depression, becoming a mom and wife and author and how each affected the other.Listen in for some insightful thoughts on traversing the creative writing process to write your best work. In This Episode, You’ll Learn:Why every creative writer’s process has to be their own.Amy’s Tip: Assume that no one will read your writing. Your honesty will flow more freely to weave a more compelling story.The six-word story Hemingway wrote to win a bet.How using writing prompts can jumpstart your creative process when nothing else will.How Amy uses writing as a “toilet bowl” to therapeutically express emotions.Her method of expressing inner turmoil and using truth in her novel characters,Her view on mental health, depression, medication and therapy.Why comparing your work with that of professional artists isn’t a comparison at all and can lead to self-defeating tendencies.Amy’s take on “giving yourself permission” to do something that impacts others.Why personal suffering is NOT a core requirement for artists as many people believe.Confronting “Imposter Syndrome” when people ask “What do you do?”What it was like to be interviewed on air by the love of her life.Resources Mentioned In This Episode:Amy’s Website: AmyKoppelman.comAmy’s Books: Hesitation Wounds, I Smile Back, A Mouthful Of AirAmy’s Interview on Her Husband’s PodcastJ.D.

Gorda Podcast es la guía semanal para saber qué vale la pena ver y qué no en el cine y la tele. Esta semana, Mercedes Monserrat, Lucila Farrell y Valentina Ruderman hablan de Un Gran Dinosaurio, la nueva de Pixar, A Very Murray Christmas, el especial de Navidad de Netflix dirigido por Sofia Coppola, I Smile Back con Sarah Silverman deprimida, el trailer de Captain America: Civil War, Love de Gaspar Noé y regalan un combo de DVDs de The Avengers. La entrada Episodio 14: Comen choclo aparece primero en Gorda Podcast.

In which we discuss the Boston hellscape and journalism realness of SPOTLIGHT, praise BROOKLYN despite questioning why only white immigrants get love stories, hint at just how dark I SMILE BACK gets (and how thoroughly Sarah Silverman slays in it), figure out how to talk about the 3D real-sex fest LOVE, and bemoan the missed opportunities of TRUMBO.

Hitting a new high this year with her critically acclaimed performance in the official Festival selection I Smile Back, actor, activist, author, producer, and no-holds-barred comedian Sarah Silverman joins us for a far-ranging onstage conversation that will explore her inspiring and dizzyingly diverse career. Irreverent and incisive, iconoclastic and hilarious, Sarah Silverman grew to prominence as a no-holds-barred comedian, a fearless master of taboo-busting social satire. Yet beyond the boundaries of stand-up comedy, Silverman has proven herself a propulsive cultural force on numerous fronts. From her early appearances on Saturday Night Live and Mr. Show with Bob and David to her concert film Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic and sitcom The Sarah Silverman Program, she has been a singular onscreen presence — with multiple Emmy nominations and two wins to show for it. She is a shrewd producer, an outspoken activist, and a gifted writer. Her memoir The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee was entertaining, articulate, revealing, and audacious. (The book's solemn afterword is attributed to God.) As an actor, Silverman has revealed an emotional and tonal range that few who admire her comic chops would likely have foreseen. In Sarah Polley's Take This Waltz, Silverman gave an arresting performance as a recovering alcoholic. On the television series Masters of Sex, she has a highly memorable recurring role as a lesbian trying to lead a fulfilling romantic life. Now, in Adam Salky's stunning feature I Smile Back, screening at this year's Festival, Silverman stars as a seemingly contented middle-class suburban wife and mother who struggles secretly with depression, substance abuse, and dangerous compulsions. The role affords Silverman the opportunity to show the wealth of creativity, craft, and candidness at her disposal as she imbues her character with a disarming rawness and humanity. And this onstage conversation with Silverman is our opportunity to explore in-depth her dizzyingly diverse and inspiring career.

This is for the writers.  Write something that doesn't suck.  It's a simple goal.  With low stakes, Amy Koppelman wrote "I Smile Back," which was rejected at least 80 times. It was rejected because it resembled the truth too much. One publisher said, "This is the reason we got into publishing, but I can't sell this." Now, Sara Silverman is starring in the movie. She's the main character, Laney.  I was scared for the Laney. The book bleeds.  Sometimes you have to feel sorry for someone else to stop feeling sorry for yourself.  Good fiction can do that. It's how you can escape.  They say you can't run away from yourself. But they lie all the time. Amy wrote letters. She was depressed. She needed an escape. When she recognized sadness in someone else, she wrote him letters. Years later, with a pair of scissors, she cut and pasted a story together. That's how she got her book. She wrote with scissors. In today's interview, Amy reveals how you write great fiction. I wanted to know about the sadness inside her. Does it come from a deeper, darker truth? Amy says the best kind of writing understands you somehow without even knowing you. It helps you understand yourself better. "All of us, whether we're writers, carpenters or teachers, we just want to be heard and understood," Amy says. Whatever you're doing now, you don't know what it's doing for your future. That's why I recommend a daily practice.  Amy doesn't have a daily practice. She used to sit and wonder when she'd make coffee again.  Depression made instant coffee look impossible. Everything loomed over her. But one day she made coffee. And over the course of many small victories, she survived.  Listen to Amy Koppelman to learn how to write to survive. This is the master of fiction that bleeds. ------------What do YOU think of the show?
