Writer/Director/Producer Micheal Patrick Jann ("Drop Dead Gorgeous", "The State", "The Good Doctor") and I are holding a live webinar called "Make Your Passion Project Now" on Feb. 18th. 6pm Pacific. Live with a spirited Q&A and VIP pop ins. Sign up here. 100% of the ticket sales go to Red Cross LA to help the victims of the LA fires. Graciously hosted by our dear friends at the Filmmakers Academy. Born of a chat Michael and I were having, he said, "while it's good to know the difference between 24mm and 70mm lenses and have a rich friend who is also a movie star, it doesn't matter if you can't define and explore your vision." Your vision is the center of everything, and without it, you have no project. What is your vision, and how does that vision make the journey from your heart to the screen? What are you trying to say? How do you communicate that? This class is about figuring out how master filmmakers have answered these questions and put their vision on the screen... and, most importantly, how you can do this as well. We will discuss and study several great films and filmmakers - with a particular emphasis on distilling the filmmaker's vision and intent and how they brought that to life. See you all there.

How can you embrace who you are without needing to fit in? Madison didn't realize how shy she really was until she got to college. She turned to alcohol as a way of finding confidence and making friends. She seemed to be having a great time, but after a while, she was no longer drinking just to fit in. Alcohol became a way to cope with life's struggles, including trauma, depression, and a bad relationship. Things took a turn when she got a DUI, which made her feel ashamed and led her to research ways to make lasting changes. In this episode, Madison shares with Annie how she rediscovered herself, found true confidence, and built a life she loves through songwriting, teaching kids, and embracing simple, positive daily habits. In this episode, Annie and Madison will discuss: - Using alcohol to manage social anxiety - How trauma influenced her relationship with drinking - Facing guilt and shame after a DUI - Exploring different methods of mindful drinking - Leaving her real estate job to teach kids music - Madison's life as a musician and songwriter - Being a musician in bars without alcohol - Learning to handle emotions instead of avoiding them - Unpacking popular beliefs about drinking - Understanding why our brains crave alcohol - How alcohol affects sleep and emotional well-being - Simple habits that made a big difference for Madison - Letting go of the pressure to be someone else - And other topics… Connect with Madison: Madison's Band: http://www.modernmoxieband.com/ Related Episodes: EP 53: Science & Social Conditioning with Annie Grace & Michael Patrick https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-53-science-social-conditioning-annie-grace-michael-patrick/ EP 253: Sleep, with Michael Gradisar https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-253-sleep-with-michael-gradisar/ EP 582: Reader Question – How Do I Become Socially Confident Without Alcohol? https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-582-readers-question-how-do-i-become-socially-confident-without-alcohol EP 738: Fun Without the Hangover: Alcohol Freedom Coaching https://thisnakedmind.com/fun-without-the-hangover-alcohol-freedom-coaching-e738/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

Der Musiker Iggi Kelly ist gerade sehr erfolgreich. Seine Musik läuft im Radio, und das hat er geschafft, ohne ständig auf die Kelly Family hinweisen zu müssen, weil da seine Mutter, Patricia, mit dabei war und ist. Der Name “Kelly” allein ist noch keine Erfolgsgarantie, verrät er im aktuellen Podcast “Axel Trifft”: “Meine Mama macht auch Pop und trotzdem läuft sie nicht im Radio. Das heisst dann, ich sag jetzt mal, dass ich im Radio laufe, hat auch irgendwie nichts mit den Kellys an sich zu tun. Aber natürlich denken das viele. Nein, ich glaube mir ist das nicht so wichtig, aber ich glaub, viele haben das Gefühl, dass ich halt irgendwie hier und da oder jetzt mit meinem neuen Song Erfolg hab wegen der Familie. Und das ist ja halt nicht korrekt. Und das ist das einzige, aber sonst ist das mit dem Namen auf jeden Fall Fluch und Segen zugleich. Klar, Michael Patrick, der hat ja auch Jahre gekämpft, um ins Radio zu kommen. Weil das Problem ist natürlich, dass man erst mal zeigen muss, dass man wer anders ist, dass man jetzt nicht irgendwie versucht, die Kellys nachzumachen. Ich bin in einer ganz anderen Zeit groß geworden. Das ist überhaupt nicht meine Intention, nicht mal mein eigenes Ding und deswegen muss man das aber erst mal rüberbringen und das ist voll verständlich, dass irgendwie ein bisschen dauern kann.” Ausserdem spricht Iggi Kelly im aktuellen Podcast über die Musiker, die ihn geprägt haben und wie seine eigene Musik entsteht.

Mit mehr als 20 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern zählt die Kelly Family bis heute zu den erfolgreichsten Musik-Acts Europas. Besonderes im Fokus standen dabei von Anfang an Michael Patrick und sein jüngerer Bruder Angelo. Poster der zwei pflasterten in den Neunzigerjahren Millionen von Kinder- und Jugendzimmern. Angelo Kelly wurde zum Idol einer ganzen Generation. Längst hat der Musiker eine eigene Familie gegründet und lebt mit seiner Frau und den fünf Kindern, mit denen er zehn Jahre lang ebenfalls gemeinsam auf der Bühne stand, in einem irischen Landhaus. Jetzt hat Angelo Kelly nach mehr als zehn Jahren Pause sein neues Solo-Album „Grace“ veröffentlicht. Und auf dem interpretiert er Folk-Klassiker aus verschiedenen Epochen auf seine ganz persönliche Art. Angelo hat mir im Gespräch verraten, warum ihn das Thema Künstliche Intelligenz in der Musik- und Producerwelt mit großer Sorge erfüllt, warum er sich in Deutschland nie wirklich zu Hause gefühlt hat und wie es ihm gelungen ist, trotz der verrückt-wilden Jahre als Teenie-Schwarm nicht die Bodenhaftung zu verlieren. Wir sprechen über das romantisch-brutale Vagabunden-Leben seiner Kindheit und Jugend, seinen Hang zur Rebellion, Madonna und das zweite und in seinen Augen nun endgültige Aus für die Kelly Family. Wenn du wissen möchtest, wie eng oder weniger eng Angelos Verhältnis heute noch zu seinen berühmten Geschwistern ist, wieso das Spaltthema Corona auch bei den Kellys seine Spuren hinterlassen hat und wieso es ihm wichtig ist, so frei und angstfrei wie irgend möglich zu leben, dann ist diese Episode für dich. Und nun wünsche ich Dir gute und inspirierende Unterhaltung mit Angelo Kelly!
Screen Boy: Everyone Should Have a ChanceBy: Matthew Patrick GallagherMatthew is a true believer of people, the world, love and dreams. As the father of four children he looks at the world from a child's eye. Screen Boy is the story of what we are doing wrong. Chance is the Dog that comes to fix it.Screen Boy is a book about a young man that gets caught up in the world of technology and gaming and loses his friends, his athleticism, and his priorities. He realizes one day that he is lost in screens and a virtual reality and the only one left to save him is his trusty dog. Screen Boy is the sign of the times for children and parents these days as they see their kids spending hours on their phones and gaming devices—so the story is very relevant and interesting. Moreover, it is the actions taken by the boy and the dog to correct the situation that is the real message, as Screen Boy rises from his despair and gains focus toward his goal of getting active again and being a respected athlete to his family and friends. Readers of Screen Boy should take with them the message that the iPhone they carry should not own them, and that they can own their destiny, and that with hard work and unconditional love one can do anything.Matthew Patrick Gallagher is an American author, entrepreneur, and thirty-year veteran of the Information Technology business. Among his works in the writing world, Matthew released Screen Boy “Everyone Should Have a Chance” in May of 2022. Screen Boy is Matthew's first published book, although he has written many which will be released over the next few years. Screen Boy was expected to be a great hit and has exceeded expectations. The sequel to Screen Boy, which is Screen Boy “No matter What I am getting my Chance,” will be released in the summer of 2023. In addition, also expected in 2023/2024 is the beginning of a series of books entitled The Adventures of Two Wheel and his Four Wheeling Family. In 2027 the World can expect Matthew's first novel, which he started writing in 2020 during the pandemic – it will be a unique take on one of the world's most difficult topics, told in the story of two young women and a very confrontational piece.https://www.amazon.com/Screen-Boy-Everyone-Should-Chance-ebook/dp/B0B1J9L1V5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=20K7HTUAEMKUH&keywords=screen+boy+everyone+should+have+a+chance&qid=1686007973&sprefix=screen+boy+everyone+should+have+a+chance%2Caps%2C109&sr=8-1https://matthewpatrickstories.com/http://www.KingPagesPress.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/6823kpp2.mp3
This week, we're joined by Las Cruces native Michael Patrick Kaczmarek, one of the producers of The Pope's Exorcist, which was released April 14 in the U.S. and is in theaters now. To date, the film has grossed more than $60 million internationally. The film stars Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe. Inspired by the actual files of Father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican, The Pope's Exorcist follows Amorth as he investigates a young boy's terrifying possession and ends up uncovering a centuries-old conspiracy the Vatican has desperately tried to keep hidden. Known by some as the Dean of Exorcists, to others as the Vatican's Exorcist, Father Amorth was to thousands of people a light in the darkness. A real man who conducted thousands of exorcisms for the Church, Father Amorth was a frontline crusader in the battle against evil who chronicled his exploits in two memoirs that go far beyond the spooky anecdotes to explore the threats to humanity from demons. Amorth was appointed chief exorcist of the Diocese of Rome in 1986 and remained there until 2016, when he died at age 91. In those three decades, Amorth claimed to have conducted over 60,000 exorcisms. Now, the exploits of Father Amorth come to the screen for the first time in The Pope's Exorcist. Michael attended Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School and Oñate High School, where he played football for four years and graduated in 1999. He went on to attend the University of New Mexico and Cal State, Los Angeles, where he earned a B.A. in Communications with an emphasis in Film, Radio and Television in 2003. We'll talk to Michael about how he became involved in the project, how he got started, how he got to where he is and who helped him along the way. We'll also talk about what may be next for the young producer.
Regular contributor Michael Patrick MacDonald grew up in the Old Colony Housing Project in South Boston, a neighborhood that held the highest concentration of white poverty in the United States. After losing four of his eleven siblings and seeing his generation decimated by poverty, crime, addiction, and incarceration, he wandered beyond the entrenched borders of his community toward solidarity and coalition-building with Boston's Black and brown survivors and organizers.

Barby's family is affluent and well-to-do, while Henry's family leads a simple life on a small income. Feelings of ambivalence pervade young Henry's adolescence as he becomes involved with both Barby and her sister. Brandy, Barby's older sister, seduces Henry, and their secret sexual escapades entrap them in a love they try to ignore. As Henry struggles to endure the love of two sisters, college and careers carry them into adulthood. Then tragedy strikes, and the two families unite as they try to hold on to some kind of normalcy. These were the innocent years. The two teenagers sat and talked while warming themselves. "Henry, I hate you." Henry looked at Barby bewildered." What did I do now?" Barby reached out and pulled his hair over his head covering his face. "Your hair looks nicer than mine. I refuse to associate with a boy who has hair like that. It's bad enough that it's longer but it looks nicer too!" He looked at her rolling his eyes back and forth. "So wash it once in a while." She slapped him across his shoulder with her open palm. "Ouch," she said. "Now you are trying to hurt me." Her face broke into a repressed grin. "Barby, you hit me, 1 didn't hit you." She pouted now, sticking out her bottom lip. "Do you think I'm pretty?" Henry put his hands over his face hiding his response. "I think Brandy is pretty," he said in a low voice-almost a whisper.
