In this episode of Hollywood Live, Tanya Hart discusses the growing political momentum as superstar Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez publicly throw their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Bad Bunny, also known as Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, took to social media to back Harris after a comedian at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally made offensive remarks about Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” The comment sparked outrage across communities, including among some Hispanic Republicans. With Bad Bunny's vast influence, his endorsement could significantly boost Harris' campaign among Latino voters. Tanya also highlights the sixth annual Micheaux Film Festival in Culver City, which is generating buzz with incredible projects. A standout screening was One of Them Days, an Issa Rae production starring Keke Palmer and SZA, with an all-star cast including LaRoyce Hawkins, Janelle James, Maude Apatow, and Katt Williams. The film hits theaters in January, and Tanya urges listeners to keep it on their must-watch list.

In a recent podcast interview on "A Conversation with Host Floyd Marshall Jr.," the co-founders of the Micheaux Film Festival, Noel Braham and Courtney L. Branch, discuss their inspiring journey of leadership, community building, and their mission to amplify the voices of independent filmmakers. The Journey from College Friends to Industry Trailblazers Noel Braham and Courtney L. Branch's journey began as college friends with a shared passion for filmmaking. Their friendship, rooted in creativity and collaboration, evolved into a powerful partnership that led to the creation of the Micheaux Film Festival in 2018. In their interview, they reflected on their humble beginnings, initially hosting local screenings of popular shows like Insecure. Braham and Branch revealed that their festival was born out of a desire to give independent filmmakers a platform that embraces diversity and creativity. Their festival, inspired by pioneering African American filmmaker Oscar Micheaux, is more than just a celebration of cinema; it's a beacon of hope for underrepresented voices in the film industry. Uplifting Underrepresented Creatives As Emmy-nominated filmmakers, Braham and Branch understand the struggles faced by independent artists. Their Micheaux Film Festival aims to fill a significant gap in Hollywood, providing a platform for those whose stories might otherwise go unheard. “We want to shift the spotlight away from ourselves and give a voice to others,” Braham shared during the podcast. The festival, which has grown significantly since its inception, is built on the principle of inclusivity. Branch emphasized their commitment to providing a space for creatives from all walks of life. “We don't just see ourselves as an organization,” she noted, “We're a family.” This sense of community sets the Micheaux Film Festival apart, creating an environment where filmmakers feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Overcoming Challenges and Staying True to the Mission Launching and growing a film festival through the trials of a global pandemic presented numerous challenges. Braham and Branch discussed the hurdles they faced, from limited resources to navigating the complex landscape of the film industry during such uncertain times. Despite these obstacles, their passion and commitment to the Micheaux Film Festival's mission never wavered. Branch shared that their resilience comes from their belief in the power of perseverance, echoing Oscar Micheaux's words: “There is no barrier to success that diligence and perseverance cannot hurdle.” This mindset has fueled their growth and helped them stay focused on their goal to champion independent filmmakers. Building a Lasting Legacy During the podcast, both Braham and Branch expressed their desire to continue building a lasting legacy. They aim to expand the Micheaux Film Festival's reach, creating more opportunities for filmmakers to showcase their work, gain industry insights, and connect with like-minded creatives. Their vision is to not only celebrate film but also to serve as a launching pad for the careers of emerging artists. Their conversation with Floyd Marshall Jr. highlighted the importance of staying true to one's purpose, building community, and creating platforms that allow diverse voices to shine. For filmmakers and aspiring filmmakers, the Micheaux Film Festival serves as an inspiring reminder that perseverance, collaboration, and vision can truly transform the industry.
