The team sits down with Kevin McNeely, Artistic Director at SIFF.The Sonoma International Film Festival is celebrating 25 years this year! The SIFF team does an incredible job each year of curating talent from around the globe. This year there is an incredible 120 films showing at the festival and 79 of those (79!!) are premieres of some sort. Kevin W. McNeely, Artistic Director at Sonoma International Film Festival since 2010, is a catalyst for inspiring and supporting creative development and pursuits in Sonoma. His commitment to education and passion for film was the impetus for the creation of the Media Arts Program for high school students at Sonoma Valley High School. Started in 2002, Sonoma International Film Festival, with nonprofit partner Sonoma Education Foundation, has provided more than $650,000 in resources to enhance the student filmmaking program, including building a state of the art production services studio at the campus.Since taking the helm at SIFF, McNeely expanded the programming to include international film, including supporting new filmmakers with awards and travel stipends, hosting illustrious film industry executives and actors for educational talks and panels, and introducing a culinary and wine component to the festival to engage local businesses.Born in Minnesota, McNeely and wife Rosemary, also an active Sonoma arts patron who teaches art through the Sonoma Valley Museum of Arts' children's program, moved from New York to Sonoma in 1992. Their daughter, Hannah Rose, is studying International Business at Franklin University in Locano, Switzerland.

Have you ever felt like you didn’t fit in? Have you ever struggled to find role models that looked like you and had similar life experiences? If you’re a person of color in Hollywood (specifically post-production), the likelihood is extremely high you know these issues all too well...like a likelihood of roughly 99% (as I discussed in a previous episode with seasoned editor and mentor Monty Degraff). Furthermore, if you are a POC who’s a college student or recent grad, you might be concerned about how the color of your skin could affect the chances of you succeeding in the industry (and if it’s even worth trying), no? In today’s conversation, I discuss these issues and more with two recent grads and one senior from Temple University in Philadelphia, all of whom are black. Ariel Brown is a senior in the Film and Media Arts Program. Mirra Watkins graduated from Temple 3 years ago and has since moved to Los Angeles and is working as an AE and Editor in unscripted television and digital media. And last but not least, Isaiah Carey is a 2018 Temple graduate now working in the video production world as a cameraman and editor in Philadelphia. All three of these amazing, talented, intelligent, and hard-working individuals have navigated their way as minorities in a white-dominant industry and have learned some valuable lessons along the way that they have been courageous enough to share with you. Each of them have adopted the unique perspective to turn their struggles into their greatest assets. And each of them has learned that the adversity they face has made them stronger and more capable in their jobs and in life, and ultimately nothing will deter them from achieving their dreams. Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn: Ariel’s deep desire to pursue her passion of the arts through filmmaking. Isaiah's love of learning and how that led him into post production. How Mirra began building her editing skills as a kid who loved to read. Why Mirra hopes to one day be the next Shonda Rhimes and her passion to tell “real s@#! to people” through films and stories. KEY TAKE AWAY: Being specific and vocal about your desires and goals will open up the right doors and opportunities to get you where you want to go. Isaiah’s dream is to be in a Post Production finishing facility working as a colorist and being part of a team environment. Ariel’s favorite stories show that anyone can do anything they can put their minds to and those are the stories she wants to tell. Mirra’s experience in high school trying to get into the band and the difficulty she had being accepted in a mostly white school. What it’s like to fight for every opportunity including the classes you want to take despite being qualified in every way. Even in Philadelphia at Temple University, the number of black students in post production is less than 1%. Isaiah’s experience with being treated unfairly on his college thesis project and how he handled it. KEY TAKE AWAY: Persistence and perseverance will help you find the right people and places to get the opportunities you want. The problem of gentrification for minorities negatively and the lack of awareness among whites. Ariel is the first in her family to go to college and graduate and she will not let the color of her skin stand in the way of achieving her dreams. KEY TAKE AWAY: Don’t be afraid to sell yourself and use your stories of adversity to demonstrate your value. Mirra is not looking for a handout based on her race and wants to be hired for her skills, attitude, and love of stories. Advice for hiring managers: Take a shot on those people with lesser experience. They often turn out to be the best. Advice for POC dealing with racism: Just keep going and don’t let it dictate the trajectory of your life.

Ep11: Making It In Hollywood as a “Creative” (What They Don’t Teach You In Film School) | with Norman Hollyn [FiP] Ep114: What Every College Student (and Recent Grad) Needs to Know About ‘Making It’ In Hollywood, pt1 [FiP] Ep115: What Every College Student (and Recent Grad) Needs to Know About ‘Making It’ In Hollywood, pt2 Guest Bios: Mirra Watkins I wear many hats, depending on the day. I am a Video Editor, an Assistant Editor, a Screenwriter, a Poet, a Podcaster, and a Mental Health Advocate. What I identify most as are a storyteller and an escapist. Since a child, I’ve always had an affinity for storytelling. Growing up, the library and bookstore was my second home. Such a big love for reading developed my imagination in ways I had no clue would be a significant asset in my writing, filmmaking, and editing. As a teen, my love for film grew out of the desire of wanting to be an actress. I used both novels and films to escape from a depressing childhood, never realizing the connection between the two. An intermediate course in video editing at Community College of Philadelphia was where the two loves collided. Soon after, I continued my film education at Temple University and moved to Los Angeles to pursue my storytelling dreams. I’ve been fortunate enough to work as an Editor and Assistant Editor in an array of mediums: documentary, commercial, corporate, digital media, and unscripted. I plan to switch to narratives to achieve my dream of editing, writing, and directing stories that help people escape from their harsh realities and help others heal from their heartaches and traumas. Creating and collaborating on real stories, much like my favorite films of 2019 (The Farewell, Honey Boy, and The Last Black Man in San Francisco), is on my horizon. Ariel Brown Ariel Brown is a student of Temple University Class of 2021. There she is studying to receive her Bachelor degree in Film and Media Arts with a concentration in post production. While finishing her degree she is also working as a freelance filmmaker and animator. Ariel's long term goal is to create better accessibility to film and other arts for young, aspiring artists. She believes that art is an amazing outlet for people to flex their creative abilities and that everyone deserves a chance to gain experience in their preferred art form. In her current endeavors towards this goal, she leads a student-run production organization on her campus, as President. The organization aims to provide more on set and networking opportunities among students throughout the university through a shared love of film. Isaiah Cary Hi everyone, my name is Isaiah Cary I am a 24 year old bi-racial male currently working in the film industry in the Greater Philadelphia Area. I graduated from Temple University in 2018 with a degree in Film and Media Arts with a concentration in Post Production. I would like to say that I entered the real film world in August of 2017 with my internship, interning at a production/post production house in Philadelphia. I was lucky enough to have that internship turn into my job/career and here I am now. Working on different productions every week for commercials, ads, tv shows, and many more. In my free time I love to ski and snowboard and that is what got me into filming. Filming myself and my friends at the mountains having fun and coming home and editing when I was younger was the best thing I could think of, so why not go to school for it! Having gone through film school and entering the "adult" world of the film industry has taught me life lessons that I will never forget.

Their creative minds are impressive. [5:35] Helicopter parents have the same problem as bad managers, they micromanage! [7:50] Helicopter parenting might be due to having access to more information than before and it’s making parents fearful for their children. [8:55] Esther believes we’d be happier people if we had access to less information, but that’s simply not possible with our world today. What we need to do is learn how to cope. [11:15] Esther believes teaching media literacy is a critical skill to have as we live in an information-overload environment. People need to know how to read between the lines and figure out if something is truthful or not. [13:10] 18-24-year-olds are completely different from the millennials. Millennials are even having trouble working with 20-year-olds! [15:00] Children today grew up with information overload. [16:15] Children of CEOs are afraid they’ll never live up to their parents’ expectations. [17:25] There are a lot of kids in the Midwest or the South where the American Dream doesn’t seem achievable or realistic for them. [21:55] Esther emphasizes the importance of teaching children how to learn because this is a skill for life. [22:15] Why memorize a test when students will forget 95% of it a year later? We have a re-skilling problem in the United States. [24:55] For people to take chances, they have to feel safe. [28:35] We all have deadlines. It’s important to make people feel comfortable to take risks, in spite of them. [31:55] With so much democracy, we have communication chaos. We don’t know which source to believe. [38:05] If children aren’t learning about trust and risk at home, how can they learn these skills? Esther believes it starts at school. [44:10] The power to change the schools lies with the parents.   Quotable Quotes For people to take chances, they have to feel safe. “We are all fearful. Everybody is afraid non-stop. I’m afraid for the world.” “Every generation is different because they’re growing up in a different world.” “Children today tend to be much more risk-averse because somebody was always there helping them.” “Here we have a lot of kids whose parents are CEOs and their number one fear is they’ll never live up to the standards set by their parents.” “What does it take these days for people to achieve the American dream?” “I’m teaching kids how to learn because this is a skill for life. I am not teaching them to memorize.” “Believe in the student and they believe in themselves. They rise to levels that are completely unexpected.” “When you’re really upset and worried, you tend to be less productive than when you feel good about yourself and  when you feel supported.” “You want kids to feel at home at school. You want them to feel a sense of community. Today, many schools don’t do that.”   Resources and Books Mentioned Raisesuccessfulpeople.com Globalmoonshots.org Esther on LinkedIn Follow Esther on Twitter @EstherWojcicki Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, by Carol Dweck Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley's Bill Campbell, by Alan Eagle, Eric Schmidt, and Jonathan Rosenberg   The Leadership Podcast is Sponsored by:     Cultivate Grit.
