WTOP Entertainment Reporter Jason Fraley chats with director Liesl Tommy, who hopes her "Respect" star Jennifer Hudson will compete for Best Actress against Frances McDormand of "The Tragedy of Macbeth." Tommy stopped by the studio to promote her production of "Macbeth" at Shakespeare Theatre in D.C. in 2017.

This industry special goes out to anyone who has ever felt mistreated in a workplace. Liesl Tommy, director of the Aretha Franklin biopic ‘Respect' starring Jennifer Husdon, returns to Girls On Film to dive deeper into the musical and give her thoughts on respect in the film industry. Liesl reveals details about the new DVD release of 'Respect', defines what respect means to her in her working life, and gives her thoughts on diversity in film criticism. Anna and Liesl also discuss how respecting other people's rights and opinions is at the heart of a lot of other movements such as Time's Up UK. Liesl touches on personal experiences of disrespect and feelings of powerlessness. She goes on to say how these experiences have pushed her, as a director, to create a warm and inclusive environment on set. Next, Anna is joined by Aretha Franklin fan and CEO of The Film and TV Charity, Alex Pumfrey. Dealing with everything from anxiety to racism, the charity offers free and confidential support services to anybody working behind the scenes in film, TV or cinema. Alex describes respect as a value she holds very close to her heart and talks about joining the charity at a moment when there was a huge global appetite for change. Alex discusses their current 12 month campaign, ‘Let's Reset', designed to destigmatise mental health. In light of other movements such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, Alex also gives her thoughts on progress for women in the industry. If you are working in the film, TV or cinema industry and anything discussed in the episode affects you, please visit https://filmtvcharity.org.uk/ for more support.

Long Time, no Podcast. Aber kommt Zeit, kommt Mikrofonzeit. So oder so ähnlich. Spoiler: Fabian findet Adeles neues Album gut, während er sich mit dem diesjährigen Gewinner-Roman des dbp schwer tut. Und auch ein neuer Film kann disktutiert werden, diesmal das Biopic über die legendäre Soul-Diva Aretha Franklin. Bis bald! ביי! Adeles neues Album 30 ist auf allen Streamingplattformen, auf CD sowie auf Vinyl erhältlich Antje Rávik Strubels Roman "Blaue Frau" ist bei S. Fischer erschienen (430 S., 24€) "Respect" von Liesl Tommy läuft derzeit bundesweit im Kino

Le 8 septembre sort sur les écrans "RESPECT" de Liesl Tommy consacré à la vie d'Aretha Franklin, avec une lumineuse Jennifer Hudson dans le rôle-titre. Ce film retrace le parcours extraordinaire de celle qu'on a surnommée la Queen Of Soul, depuis les bancs d'une chorale gospel jusqu'à la renommée internationale."Les Combats d'Aretha", un podcast en 3 épisodes, met en lumière les engagements militants de cette icône de la musique américaine ! Dans ce troisième épisode, Ombline Roche raconte comment Aretha Franklin est devenue, peut-être un peu malgré elle, l'un des symboles de la lutte pour les Droits des femmes. Notamment en adaptant un titre d'Otis Redding, "Respect", qui deviendra un véritable hymne féministe !Avec les éclairages de Lisa Spada, chanteuse, Sébastian Danchin, historien et auteur notamment d'une biographie d'Aretha Franklin, et Frédéric Adrian, journaliste à Soul Bag.

When Liesl Tommy got hired as a first-time feature film director to make the new Aretha Franklin movie Respect, she knew there were 100 reasons why she couldn't screw it up. Marc and Liesl talk about their experience making the film together and Liesl explains how she's no stranger to uphill battles. From growing up under apartheid in South Africa to being an outsider as an immigrant in America to making her way around the world as a theater director, Liesl's path to Respect is anything but a traditional Hollywood story.
