Amanda Jones has had quite a career, as evident in this really insightful conversation about her journey as a film and television composer. One of her latest projects, Number One on the Call Sheet, is a prolific, eye-opening two-part Apple TV+ documentary featuring candid conversations with some of the entertainment industry's biggest stars, like Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Idris Elba, Whoopi Goldberg, Viola Davis, Denzel Washington and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, to name just a few.Amanda's career includes BET's Twenties from Lena Waithe, OWN's Cherish the Day, produced by Ava DuVernay and A Black Lady Sketch Show, produced by Robin Thede and Issa Rae. We learn about the empowerment she received from this powerful group of Black women so early in her journey.Amanda earned her first Emmy nomination for Home, an Apple TV+ series and became the first Black woman nominated for an Outstanding Music Composition for a Documentary Series or Special (Original Dramatic Score) Emmy. Later, Amanda was awarded a Daytime Emmy Award for Home.The idea of following one's passion resonates heavily throughout this conversation. Amanda shares that her love of sounds, more specifically music, started around the age of 3. After graduating from Vassar College and later, studying film scoring and orchestration at Berklee College of Music, she landed an internship with Hans Zimmer and it was an opportunity at Lionsgate that helped give her a more 360-degree sense of the business side of things.Other takeaways from this multifaceted chat hone in on creating a sonic language for films and TV, the importance of asking questions, communication and collaboration during the creative process, having a strong creative voice, knowing when to delegate as well as fighting off stigmas reserved for women of color and mothers.A co-founder of Composers Diversity Collective, Amanda's other credits include Somebody Somewhere, Good Trouble, Naomi, Young Love, 7 Days, Dreamland: The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street, Definition Please, Moving On, The Perfect Find, Mea Culpa, Jodie and the new Apple TV+ series, Murderbot.
In 1991 a 7-year-old girl on Chicago's South Side had an idea.Inspired by the stories she heard from her grandmother and mother, Lena Waithe decided she wanted to see the lives of herself and her family and neighbors depicted on television.Moving to Los Angeles in her early twenties, Waithe worked her way up through the television business, eventually winning an Emmy for her writing, creating The Chi, a beloved series loosely based on her own life, and launching her own production company, Hillman Grad.And despite facing sharp criticism for her distinct creative vision, Waithe remains committed to shaping her legacy her way.…and it all started with one idea.Chapters:0:00 - Intro2:10 - Growing Up / 3 Generation House4:05 - Working at Blockbuster / Hoop Dreams7:15 - Navigating Changing Audience Behavior 10:49 - Early Days as an Assistant in Hollywood12:19 - Master of None “Thanksgiving” Episode17:00 - Dealing With Scrutiny That Comes With Fame22:42 - Does Culture Influence Creation? 26:05 - The Chi / Keeping it Fresh 7 Seasons In32:10 - Finding Inspiration Today35:50 - Future Aspirations / Leaving a Legacy
This is the rhythm of a voice that knows how to tell a story. Anndi Jinelle Liggett didn't set out to become a filmmaker overnight. She started in the fitting rooms of Banana Republic, sharpened her instincts in the fast-paced world of network television, and ended up at Al Roker's side—not as a spectator, but as a quiet observer of how media moves. Born in Reston, Virginia, and now rooted in Brooklyn, Anndi's journey winds through French lectures at Florida State and serendipitous subway rides in New York City. She didn't knock on Hollywood's door. She cracked it open with heart, hustle, and a sharp eye for what makes us human.In this episode of Visual Intonation, we dive into how Anndi's early storytelling, yes, including a Cat-girl with superpowers, evolved into work that's both personal and piercing. She shares how characters, not just plot, drive her creative compass, and why the best stories aren't necessarily the loudest, but the most honest. Her short 'Clementine' flips the rom-com script on its head, while 'Tender Thoughts', backed by Lena Waithe, is already drawing attention from Tribeca to Urbanworld. When Anndi writes, she's writing with—and for—people who have something to say but maybe haven't yet said it out loud.We talk about France. About solitude. About filmmaking and betting on yourself. But more than that, we talk about voice—finding it, using it, and trusting that it matters. Anndi admits that's still a work in progress. But whether she's on set or scrolling Chani Nicholas for horoscope wisdom, she's learning to take up space, ask the question, raise the idea. Not because she knows it all, but because she knows herself.So pull up a chair. Whether you're a creator, a dreamer, or just someone who once tried to relax in New York and ended up on a whole new life path, this one's for you. Anndi Jinelle Liggett reminds us that storytelling isn't about fame—it's about feeling. And when it's done right, it's unforgettable.Anndi Jinelle Liggett's Website: https://www.anndijl.com/Anndi Jinelle Liggett's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seranndipity/Anndi Jinelle Liggett's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anndijliggettSupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante
Lena Waithe on Cuddling Over Climaxing In this episode of Lovers and Friends, Shan Boodram sits down with Emmy-winning writer, producer, and actress Lena Waithe (Queen & Slim, Master of None, The Chi) for an eye-opening conversation about intimacy, love, and meaningful connections. Lena shares why you should never have sex with someone unless you can imagine a positive aftermath for both of you. She dives into how cuddling can create a deeper emotional bond than sex, especially when the future of a relationship feels uncertain.

Welcome to TV Break, where Pop Break's Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus is joined by editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, and TV Columnist Josh Sarnecky to talk about the happenings in television. Here's the format of the show: The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month – Alex, Bill, & Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from the last month including Max's The Pitt, Disney Plus's Skeleton Crew, and AppleTV Plus's Severance, and Hulu's Paradise. Newsbreak – This month, they discuss a recent Variety feature by Adam B. Vary detailing Netflix's ambitious plans for 2025 and their self proclaimed standing as the perpetual underdog, despite also hitting major milestones including 300M subscribers and nearly $1,000 a share on their stock price. Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, & Josh pick a streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. Bill and Josh agree that AppleTV Plus reigns supreme thanks to the cultural juggernaut that has been Severance S2. Meanwhile, Alex gives Mubi its flowers, after its films earned six Academy Award nominations, including for their breakout hit film The Substance, starring Academy Award front runner Demi Moore. New Series Spotlight – This month, the guys pay off their Emmy bet, with Alex forcing Josh and Bill to watch one of his favorite series from the past decade, Better Things, starring Pamala Adlon and Academy Award nominee Mikey Madison. Specifically, the guys watched S5E6 San Francisco, wherein we follow Adlon's Sam as she takes a gig director an episode of a network sitcom, which shoots in San Francisco, forcing Sam's oldest daughter Max, played by Academy Award Nominee Mickey Madison (who you may know from Anora, Scream 5, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), to step up and take care of her thirteen year old sister Duke while Duke's friend Pepper is staying with them for a visit. This episode guest stars Ron Cephas Jones and Lena Waithe and aired back in 2022.

Today, we go further in examining public critique and when it is helpful—and when it is not. We are honored to welcome Lena Waithe, actor, producer, and screenwriter, to our Surface Level family. Together, we explore the societal boxes we are often defined by, the importance of cultivating community both on and off screen, how social media chatter does or does not affect the art we create, and the stories we tell. This episode is one we are truly excited to share as we begin the journey into 2025. We know a lot, but we don't know it all, so join the conversation on social and let us know your thoughts.
