This episode is about a story that needs to be heard. It's the tale of an amazing individual and jazz artist named René Marie. Her story has been portrayed in an award - winning short documentary by Rachel Kessler, a Brooklyn-based director, screenwriter, and producer with over a decade of experience deeply rooted in her artistic and creative beliefs. The beauty and soul of René Marie has been captured in this film called, ‘Tuning René Marie', that weaves you through the early life of this GRAMMY-nominated jazz vocalist. It premiered at the Oscar-qualifying Woodstock Film Festival in 2022 where it was nominated for Best Short Documentary; it's now available for all to see on the prestigious short film channel, Omeleto. It's an extraordinary story that we're honored to share as we speak to both women about how it came to be, and the impact it's had on them, and on everyone who's seen it.

What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out. Writing and directing team Mike Sorce and Matthew Kic presented their incredible short film “Manifesto” in the Sherman Oaks Film Festival 2023 as a World Premiere and took home the Grand Jury Award – Best Screenplay – Short Film, and the Filmmakers Award – Outstanding Short Film – Drama. Wednesday I shared our pretty terrific chat and I'm very excited to follow that up today with their 4 Questions!

Happy Hump Day , Folks! One thing I've been noticing for the last few decades — hey, I first got involved in indie film in the late 90's — is that scripts with two names on them are almost always better than those with one. No offense to the infinite number of solo writers out there, but I cannot help but notice that the maxim “two minds are better than one” especially applies to screenwriting. It just might apply to film directing as well. Writing and directing team Mike Sorce and Matthew Kic sat down with me at the DIF mic's and shared the very interesting story of how these two came out to L.A. from Arizona and Texas, ended up in the same mail room, teamed up to write together, and then reached the pinnacle of their careers when the Sherman Oaks Film Festival presented the World Premiere of their short film “Manifesto” in 2023. Mainfesto took home the Grand Jury Award – Best Screenplay – Short Film, and the Filmmakers Award – Outstanding Short Film – Drama. Sarcasm aside, Mike and Matt have accomplished a lot of great things since their arrivals in L.A. and it was an absolute delight to have them onto the podcast to share their stories.

Caity Ware is a UCLA alumna and moderately busy twin mom, actor, producer, and executive assistant. She has appeared on American Horror Story, S.W.A.T., and most recently recurred on For All Mankind. Caity has produced more than two-dozen award-winning short films, music videos, and web series (plus a silly little rom-com feature), which have played over 50 festivals, including Tribeca, Dances With Films, and Cleveland, and have been featured on the curated sites Short of the Week and Omeleto. Caity has also produced two critically-acclaimed stage plays, including a sold-out run of The Diary of Anne Frank, which featured poignant talk-backs with Holocaust survivors after performances. Her last three years have been filled with keeping two small humans who climb (and jump off) everything in sight alive, and making sure those around her maintained some form of sanity as they worked to bring the epic Apple TV+ limited series Masters of the Air to life. In her free time she used to love to bake a killer apple pie, but, well, if you've made it this far you probably understand why her time in the kitchen lately tops out at microwaving chicken nuggets.

Van Rijs zit wat verfomfaaid aan tafel, want hij was voorafgaand aan de podcast verwikkeld in een intense strijd met zijn nieuwe slimme verlichting. Buitenhuis heeft de wind ook nog vers in z'n haren, want hij is met zijn vader en broers naar het circuit in Zandvoort geweest. Stiekem was hij toch wel een beetje opgelucht dat hij ‘de taxirit' mocht overslaan. Het belletje met vriend Qusai begint een beetje stroef, sinds hij officieel Nederlander is, is hij namelijk nogal strak op de tijd. En de Parlevinkers waren aan de late kant… Gelukkig wordt hij al snel wat milder, want hij heeft een religieuze ervaring gehad die hij graag wil delen. Als liefhebber van onze Oosterburen pur sang, is Van Rijs naar een Rammstein concert geweest. Nou ja, een coverbandje (naar zijn eigen zeggen ‘dé toonaangevende coverband), maar hij is er wel helemaal voor afgereisd naar Dordrecht. Hij hield het dan ook niet helemaal droog… Buitenhuis voelde zich een valsspeler. Samen met zijn nieuwe beste vriend deed hij mee aan de 14k run in Amsterdam. Het bleek al snel een ongelijke strijd, al was de waardering die de omstanders hen toewierpen er niet minder om. Kijkt hij nu vol schaamte terug op de medaille die hij (niet voor de eerste keer) heeft ontvangen? Dan nog de aanraders van beide heren. Buitenhuis is lyrisch over zijn ‘favoriete film ooit' die hij onlangs weer heeft gezien: Hector and the search for happyness. Van Rijs komt ook met iets goeds (vindt ie zelf): hij heeft short films op YouTube ontdekt. Want ‘hij houdt niet van lange films'… Anyways, hij raadt alle luistervinken twee YouTube kanalen aan: ALTER en Omeleto. ️----------------------------------------------------------------------

In her own words"Hi! I'm Suzanne. I'm an actress and filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. My first directorial effort, short film Christmas Eve Eve: Or The Things I Can't Remember (which I also wrote and star in) recently played at a number of festivals including the 2021 Mill Valley Film Festival. You can watch it here on the platform Omeleto, one of the best hubs for high-quality short films on the internet. Currently, I'm producing my first feature film Every Man For Himself, directed by Gary Gardner and starring Daniel Sharman and Nicholas Logan, which is now in post production. As an actress you might have seen me in HBO's Silicon Valley as Fiona, an AI robot who infiltrates the Pied Piper gang. Or maybe in the NBC TV show Blindspot, or the films Ricki and the Flash (dir. by Jonathan Demme), and Obvious Child (dir. by Gillian Robespierre). Recently, I starred in the hit web series, I AM YOU, which has nearly a million views and was produced by Rizzle Studios. I was honored with a best actress award for my work on the show by The International Academy of Web Television.A Kentucky native, I received my BA in Theatre from Davidson College in North Carolina. I've spent time studying abroad with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the British American Drama Academy in London. In NYC, I've studied improv comedy and sketch writing with the Upright Citizens Brigade and scene study with renowned actress Maria Dizzia at The Freeman Studio. I'm happy you're here!"

Lola Blanc is a singer/songwriter, filmmaker, actress, and cult survivor. Her single “Angry Too” has over 20 million streams on Spotify, and as a songwriter, Blanc has also written for other artists including Britney Spears. Blanc's work as a filmmaker has been spotlighted by BILLBOARD, FANGORIA, FUNNY OR DIE, and the prestigious short film channel OMELETO. Much of her work is inspired by her childhood practicing Mormonism, where she and her mother fell prey to a charismatic “prophet,” who turned out to be a cult leader. Meagan Elizabeth is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actress from Los Angeles who has performed at the legendary Laugh Factory. She was raised in a high control Christian group known as the Two by Twos, an international, home-based new religious movement that has its origins in Ireland at the end of the 19th century. Among members, the church is typically referred to as "The Truth" or "The Way" Together, Lola & Meagan co-host a podcast called Trust Me: Cults, Extreme Belief, and the Abuse of Power, where they share their experiences and fight the stigma cult survivors are often exposed to. On the show, they have interviewed survivors of groups like NXIVM, the Manson Family, Heaven's Gate, the Children of God, and many more. In this week's conversation, Lola and Meagan share with Rachel their experiences growing up in cults noting the similarities in the control mechanisms used as well as the after-effects that come to light with distance from the group. Together they unravel the patriarchal structure of both groups and explain the work it took for them to overcome this sexist conditioning. Lola and Meagan go on to provide insights on what gave them the courage to leave and discuss how it's felt to share their personal tragedy in public as a means to fight the stigma and loneliness of other survivors. Before You Go: Rachel explains how cults take advantage of followers through the use of confession and relates it to Robert J Lifton's criteria for thought reform. She explains how to share wisely, but also withhold wisely. Find Rachel's book "Now I Know, Kids Talking To Kids About Divorce..." here: https://www.amazon.com/Now-I-Know-Rachel-Bernstein/dp/1620867893/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=rachel+bernstein&qid=1637051476&s=books&sr=1-2 Thanks to our newest Patreon supporter "A" and to "Free From RF" and Katherine Matheson for increasing their pledges!

Today my guest is Alister Lockhart, an Illustrator and Digital Artist. Since Alister's work is highly visual, you might like to explore some of his artwork as we listen. You can find images and videos on his website: alisterlockhart.net (there's link in the show notes. In this episode, we explore demons, goblins, and superheroes and capturing their form in illustrations and digital art. In our conversation, Alister shares thoughts on his generally open and responsive approach to employment within electronic games and associated fields, including roles as artist (for comics, trading cards and short films) and as art director (for electronic games), through to short film director, and teacher. Alister offers insights into some of his illustration techniques, which usually start with a rough sketch. Rather than focusing on simple physical attributes, Alister asks the fundamental questions of story telling, that is, the who, what, where, when, why and how? to explore a character's background and story, vital to how they'll come to life and become visually expressed for an audience. In our conversation, we also explore some straight-forward thoughts around job satisfaction and some of the more profound ideas related to one's career, following your own path and living a creative life that fires your imagination.

For a short film, For Your Consideration tackles many topics that have long been part of the regular discourse for people in marginalized community, but thanks to social media, become "trending topics" to those no part of those communities. To these people, things like racism, accessibility, women's right and the prison industrial complex are just things they can chat about at brunch.Written and directed by Poppy Gordon, the film with its dark humor, contrasted by bright colors and sunny L.A setting, shows the stunning lack of self-awareness a small group of privileged socialites display when they randomly decide to make a they're sure will be worthy of an Oscar. Only interested in getting recognition by the elites, they pick apart and cast aside what trending social justice cause is worth their time and attention. In our discussion for Carolyn Talks..., Poppy and I talk about the perceptions and misconceptions people have of the disenfranchised, and how social media plays a part in the discourse around advocacy, activism and the ways companies and people with power manipulate them to their advantage. For Your Consideration is now available in wide release on Omeleto and Vimeo.butDirector Poppy Gordon is NYC based and excels at visually driven narratives that combine bold cinematic style with pop influenced VFX. Poppy has directed work for brands such as NIKE, WAV, PayPal, Pond's, TRESemmé, and many more. She is commercially represented by Hey Baby and also leads her own creative studio Feral. For Your Consideration was co-written by Poppy's longtime collaborator Aldo Arias who is a New York City writer by way of Texas. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In Star Trek gaming, we talk about Star Trek Online's Tzenkethi Lobi Bundle, the dreaded Mudd bundle of also-dread, and STO's monetization model! Then we head On Screen to watch Star Trek: Discovery's newest episode - “Die Trying” Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Week's Community Questions are: CQ: Do you think LeVar Burton should be the next host of Jeopardy? If so, did you sign the petition? If not, who should be? AND CQ: How do you feel about the selection and pricing of new STO Ships in 2020? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Where CBS All Access Measures Up We love numbers! They can tell us so much about a wide variety of topics - or nothing at all. So take this exciting adventure with us, dear listeners, as we dive into the rush of alphanumerics - Streaming numbers! This week, as they do most weeks, Business Insider ranked the top streaming shows for the week - and Star Trek: Discovery hit number 3 on that list! The ratings, provided by Parrot Analytics, placed Star Trek higher than “The Umbrella Academy” and “The Boys”, but still looking up at “Stranger Things” and “The Mandalorian”. Star Trek: Discovery's MetaCritic rating for the current season (93%) is also third on the list, topped by “The Boys” (97%) and the newest season of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” (100%). But, numbers. According to Forbes “The State Of The Streaming Wars”, CBS All Access - the streaming platform that streams all-things Star Trek - has the lowest subscribers of any premium service; And they rolled Showtime subscribers into the CBS All Access tally. Netflix tops the list with 195 million subscribers, newcomer Peacock checks in with a solid 22 million, and CBS All Access? 17.9 million subscribers. But what does all of this mean? Well, like I said in the intro - numbers can tell us so much, and at the same time so little. ViacomCBS' Plans For BIPOC Inclusion If 2020 has done anything, it's given of us all crippling anxiety - but it has also raised awareness of social injustice. This week, ViacomCBS continued to institute policies that will hopefully make Star Trek's future of inclusion and equality a reality. According to Deadline, CBS has enacted an edict that would require 50% of its reality television cast to be Black, Indigenous or People of Color - or BIPOC. Further, at least 25% of the show's development budget must be spent on BIPOC creators and producers. Why is this important? Well, most programming for the 2020-2021 season has shifted towards reality programming due to the global pandemic, and the edict brings reality television in-line with ViacomCBS' policies regarding its scripted-brethren. Back in July, ViacomCBS announced that ”The broadcaster is committing 25% of its script development budget to projects from creators, writers and producers who are Black, Indigenous and people of color. The scheme will begin with the 2021/22 development season. It is also mandating that writers' rooms for CBS shows must be staffed with a minimum of 40% BIPOC representation for the 2021/22 broadcast season. This will be increased to 50% for the 2022/23 season.” LeVar Burton - Game Show Host? Last week, Canadian born Game Show Icon Alex Trebek passed after a battle with pancreatic cancer. The 80 year-old Trebek spent 37 seasons hosting the popular trivia game show “Jeopardy”, and following his passing many were left wondering - who would replace the legendary host? While no one could truly replace Trebek, some fans had a suggestion for the vacancy - Roots, Reading Rainbow, and Star Trek star LeVar Burton! Fan Joshua Sanders started a change.org petition for the 63 year-old Burton, saying ”Between hosting 21 seasons of the educational Reading Rainbow, playing the brainiac engineer Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: the Next Generation, and filling the roll of Kunta Kinte in the ever important mini-series Roots, LeVar Burton has inspired and shaped the minds of several generations of trivia-loving nerds. This petition is to show Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. and producers Mike Richards and Harry Friedman just how much love the public has for Burton, and how much we'd all love to see him as the next host of Jeopardy!”. At the time of this writing, the petition had over 89,000 signatures, with a goal of 150,000. On November 12th, the man of the hour - LeVar Burton - tweeted about the petition, saying ”Even if nothing comes from it, I can't tell [you] much how I appreciate all y'alls love and support! Folded handsHeart suit!” https://twitter.com/levarburton/status/1326973244847624195 Brentwood Sounds like everyone loves LeVar Burton, right? WRONG. Brent Spiner HATES LeVar Burton - and after all of those evites, who can blame him? If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you're going to want to follow the link in our show notes - after you're done listening to this show of course! Spiner, and the aforementioned LeVar Burton, star in the Omeleto short film titled “Brentwood”. In the short-form comedy, Spiner plays an exaggerated version of himself - think Larry David from “Curb Your Enthusiasm” - who hates his neighbors, conventions, awards shows, podcasts,and especially LeVar Burton. There's singing, dancing, shrimp, epi-pens - and content totally inappropriate for younger audiences, so keep that in mind before watching. The twelve minute film was Directed by Sharon Everitt and written by Karen Anderson, Jeff Cosgrove and Everitt. Trek out our show notes if you want to watch the film - and trust me you want to watch the film! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmVwCcUQRjU&t=31s Star Trek Gaming News by Shane Hoover and Thomas Reynolds Shell Games: the Tzenkethi Lobi Bundle By Thomas Reynolds Bundles, bundles, bundles: if there's anything that typifies the current player experience in STO, it's the ever-expanding number of bundles for sale. By far, the majority of bundles have been available through the C-Store. Isn't it time the Lobi store got some love? Well fear not, PC captains, because the Tzenkethi are here to help. Sort of. Hooray. The limited-edition Tzenkethi Lobi Bundle will be locking its trajectory into the PC Lobi store from November 20th through the 30th. Captains who drop 1800 Lobi(!) and walk the Path of Spending will get these character-bound Bundle contents: Tzenkethi Shuk-din Escort [T6] 5 Diffusive Tetryon Weapons Console - Universal - Shared Processing Integration Tzenkethi Vanity Shield Tzenkethi Duty Officer Assignments 6 Ultimate Tech Upgrades Dread of Zen. Dread of Not-Zen. By Shane Hoover Thief. Swindler. Con man. Liar. Rogue. Yes, Harcourt Fenton Mudd has warped into the C-Store with another of his infamous Mudd's Market Choice Packs. This week's new offering is called Mudd's Choice Pack of Dread. Since we're all getting pretty familiar with the idea of Mudd's Choice Packs by now, let's just cover the essential details quickly. From the Choice Pack, you can choose any three of the following: Hur'q Vecrid Hive Dreadnought [T6] Tholian Tarantula Dreadnought [T6] Temporal Paradox Dreadnought [T6] 50 Master Keys 2 Coupons for 100% Off a T6 C-Store ship 10 Ultimate Tech Upgrades And let's not forget, those T6 Dreadnoughts are account-wide unlocks only when purchased here. If you buy the same ship with Lobi, it's a character locked ship. First, let us state something clearly - the value proposition for this bundle looks decent in the mathematics, like pretty much all of the Legendary bundles or Mudd's packs. If these choices look good to you, and you've got the disposable cash, then you probably won't get struck with buyer's remorse. Mudd's Market Now, let's talk about why we're not going to rave over another Mudd's Market bundle. Not to put too fine a point on it, 2020 has been a year of seismic change in how Star Trek Online wants you to buy starships. If I asked you how many brand new Tier 6 ships hit the C-Store for individual, non-bundle, purchase in 2020, what would you guess? If you guess more than four, you're wrong. August's Cross-Faction Support Carrier Bundle introduced the only four individually available ships new to the C-Store THIS YEAR. Now, how many new or re-modeled Tier 6 ships hit the C-Store this year locked into a bundle of $60 or $120? The correct answer, I believe, is seven ships. For bonus points, how many new T6 ships arrived via Lockbox or Promotional box in 2020? We count five of those. Which brings us back to the topic at hand… Mudd's Market, where another deal slides in at $295 “regular price” for three ships. This is the third Mudd's Choice pack of 2020. A few other ships appeared solo in Mudd's Market as well. This takes us to something like 23 out of 27 ships in 2020 not available for single purchase via Zen. It seems painfully clear that the direction of monetization in Star Trek Online has taken a drastic turn towards high stakes purchases. So we don't think it's just a question of whether there's value in these Bundles. Clearly there is. But what has happened to the offerings for lower stakes, more casual players? We all want to enjoy the amazing work of STO's talented ship artists and ship designers. It shouldn't be monetized so far out of reach. And for the love of the Great Bird, don't even mention the Reputation Tier 5 buyout, or we're going to lose it over here. Disco & Dungeons & Dragons By Shane Hoover There was also some lighthearted Star Trek related gaming news this past week. Anthony Rapp, Discovery's Paul Stamets, tweeted out a #NerdAlert on the 9th. In the tweet, Rapp declared that “there's a small but mighty group of Star Trek Discovery cast members who've begun a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.” . Rapp himself is apparently playing a half-elf Druid, even going so far as sharing a screenshot of his character sheet. The gaming group on-set is composed of the DM, Mary Wise's husband Noah, plus Rapp and four fellow castmates. In the ensuing Twitter discussion, Rapp named party members as Blu del Barrio (playing tiefling wizard Bink), Ian Alexander (playing elf bard Vyvee), and Emily Coutts (playing half-elf cleric Airlia). The final member of the party is unnamed, but Rapp says they're playing a Goliath ranger. When asked about playing a Star Trek Adventures tabletop campaign, Anthony replied, “We get to play Star Trek for a living. It's a very very very pleasurable living! But DnD is our escape” https://twitter.com/albinokid/status/1325856796007948292 Don't Say the Titan's Back, It's Been Here For Years By Thomas Reynolds Writer's note: Cryptic made the following announcement on November 18th, after we recorded everything you just heard. So if this seems out of left field, after we just went off about Cryptic not releasing new ships...well, it is. Such is life. Listeners may remember that, back in episode 482, associate producer Thomas declared that STO would have a T6 Luna-class vessel by the end of 2020. It'd be the perfect time, with an appearance in Lower Decks and the long-standing player demand for such a ship. And wouldn't you know it: next week, we're getting just that. Who was right? Yes, Thomas was right. Arriving on PC on November 20th, the Titan-class Science Destroyer [T6] offers a compelling platform for pewpewing new life and new civilizations. Like the Dyson destroyers before it, the Titan-class toggles between Science and Tactical modes, reflecting its dual roles in exploration and combat. It also comes with the Opening Salvo universal console, which fires variable projectiles depending on your ship's current mode (like the Arbiter's V.A.T.A. console). The projectiles do kinetic damage in both modes, but in default (Science) mode they temporarily disable all of the target's subsystems. Flipped to Tactical, the salvo will do kinetic AoE and inflict a damage resistance debuff instead. Finally, the Opening Salvo console boosts EPG and weapon specialization so it'll be a welcome addition whatever mode, or mood, you're in. As a T6 ship, the Titan-class also features the “It's Another Enterprise” starship trait. When slotted, activating your captain's Fleet ability will summon your faction's flagship for temporary assistance. This update also introduces a Fleet T6 version of the Titan, and gives the existing Luna-class model a hi-fi redo like those seen in the Ship of the Line bundles.
