Art Hounds was off for Thanksgiving, and since our last one was released, the places in Minnesota where people gather to experience art indoors are on pause. Yet Minnesotans continue to make — and partake in — art. Winona photographer and filmmaker Mary Farrell was struck by the Pandemic Portrait Project, on display in downtown Winona through Wednesday. The roughly 40 large photographs are all viewable from outside, spread along several blocks of storefronts on Third Street. It’s the work of Winona State University students. Their assignment, inspired by a workshop with St. Paul photographer Wing Young Huie, was to photograph a stranger outside during the pandemic. Some people wear masks in their portraits; others don’t. “It’s a wonderful visual experience,” said Farrell. “It’s just striking, because you’re walking along and you just stop and take notice. The fact that they’re so big and so colorful and so personal really draws you in.” Sarah Woolever of Minneapolis shines a light on the handmade jewelry of Peter Mielech of St. Paul this week. Mielech crafts earrings, pendants, rings, pins and more out of reclaimed wood and colored resin, which he sometimes swirls to create the appearance of stone, but the material makes them lightweight to wear. “It’s beautiful enough for the special events or for everyday wear.” Woolever said she often gets compliments on her jewelry made by Mielech from coworkers and children in her work as a musical therapist at Children’s Minnesota.

High School for the Recording Arts and Minnesota Jazz Education released an album last month that was recorded, mixed and produced from home by students during distance learning. HSRA student Kristina Reed, 18, of Maple Grove is a student publicist and radio coordination intern. She got to watch the process of creating the album, from individual recordings to editing and production, with all the expected technological challenges along the way. “It took a while, but the effort was well worth the wait. It is such a nice album,” Reed said. The recording, “Experience Jazz 2020: The Sounds of Distance,” is available on iTunes and Spotify.

TOY LEI shares her journey of acting that led her to becoming a filmmaker. Toy was tired of being offered roles as a masseuse or nail technician. She took her career in her own hands by writing, directing and producing action films.  TOY LEI has had a fascination with action films ever since her parents took her to Chinatown as a kid. They watched kung-fu movies every Saturday afternoon. After lamenting the lack of roles for Asian females over 30, she began writing, directing and producing her own projects. Her directorial debut, THE WEDDING, won her the Top 5 Women Filmmakers award from the Asian-American Film Lab and New York Women in Film and Television. BOXER, won not only Best Actress, Best Action and the Grand Prize at the 2015 Asian-American Film Lab 72-hr Shootout, but also won Awards of Merit from the highly competitive Accolade Global Competition for Short Film, Women Filmmakers and Leading Actress. It also won the Maverick Movie Award for Special Achievement in Stunts and a nomination from the Connect Film Fest for Best Drama. The film opened its fest run at the coveted Etheria Film Night and won Best Action. She has now expanded BOXER into a feature and has signed on Kristina Reed, a two-time Oscar winner, as Consulting Producer. BOXER was a finalist in the PGA Diversity Program. Her latest short she directed, TRANSITION, won the Jury Runner-up Prize in the Collaboration Filmmaker Contest.

Kristina Reed is a producer at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Kristina produced (and co-produced) a number of animation films including the most recent Big Hero 6, Paperman (won the first Oscar for the Studio since 1969), and The Feast (the short film you see right before Big Hero 6). I am a wholehearted Disney Animation fan (like many of you out there) since I was a child. Even as an adult, I enjoyed watching Frozen, Wreck it Ralph, Tangled, Kung Fu Panda, Shrek 2, Madagascar and dozens of other films also produced by Kristina. Much like a little girl in a candy shop, I was so excited to interview Kristina about her experience working at Disney, shepherding an animation through release, the challenge and excitement of telling the greatest love stories. A typical Disney animation film takes anywhere between 3-4 years to produce. When I asked Kristina about how she manages her own expectations and hundreds of others on the team, she responded:"Producing an animation film is the ultimate team sport. You are never shouldering alone. It is not only about building a personal legacy but also continuing the legacy for Disney." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support
