This interview is going to be unlike any you've heard before on Tatooine Sons. I'm joined by Dominic Pace. You've probably heard about him and his story of getting the chance to play a bounty hunter in Chapters 1 and 3 of The Mandalorian. He's been on the show a couple of times before. But this interview isn't about Star Wars. It's about something so much more important.Dominic began studying with members of the Actors Studio Mimi Turque and Susan Batson in 1995. He then moved on to William Esper's two-year program where he studied under Terry Knickerbocker. He has been awarded "Best Actor" at the 2004 Palm Beach International Film Festival for his performance in the independent feature, Little Kings. He was a member of The MET Theater Company and the Tim Robbins Company, and The Actors' Gang in Los Angeles. During the Pandemic of 2020 and 2021, Dominic toured the country in an effort to support Small Business Comic Shops. Through autographs of his Gekko character from The Mandalorian, he helped raise over $35,000 for the stores, along with over $10,000 for charity. Mayors of Houston, TX and Sioux City, IA named a day after him in recognition for his contribution to the local economy. The Mayor of Cleveland, TN awarded Pace with the Key to the City. And now, Dominic has an important message he feels compelled to share with the world, that's so much bigger than Star Wars.Get your OFFICIALLY LICENSED Gekko the Bounty Hunter Tiki HERE: https://gekkotiki.com/Save 15% on EVERYTHING at https://www.cufflinks.com/ by using the code: TATOOINE15Rate and Review on Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/TatooineSons

About Diana Davis It is often said that people make their own change. They either change themselves to fit the world, or they try to change the world to fit them. Diana Davis falls into that courageous latter group. When she learned about the appalling situation of corruption and organized pedophilia hiding under the guise of a twisted religion that was, and is, rampant in the USA, she made a movie about it. She had never made a film before and had no money.....but she regarded these facts as minor obstacles.  Bringing it in way under budget and ahead of schedule, the film she produced, “Cathedral Canyon”, went on to win Awards at both the Palm Beach International Film Festival and the Jerome Film Festival where much of the film's audience horrified to learn for the first time, the extraordinary story of what was going on in their own country and pitched in to help. This is how one person can decide to make a difference and galvanize others to do the same.  She decided to make this her mission. Diana started MoviesMakingADifference, 501c3. Its' ambition was to produce inspiring and commercial films that highlight social ills and injustice and plow the proceeds back into the non-profit to benefit the victims of these issues. And that is exactly what MMAD does.  In the absence of any action by politicians, Diana and her team at MMAD started raising money for the victims and survivors of the cult Church that inspired that first film. A Church that forces its' followers into child marriage, forced labor and are often even starved out by their Church or excommunicated with little education or knowledge of the outside world should they fall into disfavor.  MMAD has been able to fulfill their initial mission and go even further. They rescued girls being held as sex slaves and others from traffickers who prey on them if they manage to escape and are alone on the streets. MMAD finds shelter and furnishings for those that became homeless after being expelled from the Church and being stripped of their possessions as a result. MMAD has provided drug/alcohol treatment programs, job training, transportation, employment and dental care. For others one of the most important has been the ability to study for and achieve a GED since schooling was never a priority in the community. More than that, sometimes it is as simple as just taking the time to listen, talk, guide, inspire and be inspired, for some victims to make a tremendous difference themselves. When provisions are needed; personal hygiene items, blankets sewing machines and fabric to help. MMAD also flies to other states to meet those left stranded by their so-called Church and offer them help.  By staying involved with the victims long after the cameras have stopped rolling, she now has a devoted and talented team (some of whom are the actual survivors themselves) who were ready for work as the cameras started rolling again. ‘Cult Cartel’ was filmed with actual survivors alongside Hollywood actors such as Donny Most (Happy Days) and Jud Tylor (That 70s Show)  The fictional feature film is from the heart of those finding their voices, but also celebrates the heroic community of “Short Creek” that has stood up for itself after many years of waiting for the inalienable rights given to all Americans but had passed them by. Seeing that those on the outside were never going to help unless it affected their own, they remarkably empowered themselves by uniting, taking their town back and making it blossom and flourish. The film is expected to be released fall of 2019.  All this started by one lady determined to make a positive difference. Website: www.moviesmakingadifference.org 

The expression of fundamentals in farming with Sam Ludwig, President of Aster Farms and Julia Jacobson, CEO & Director of Business Strategy of Aster Farms. Aster Farms is Northern California’s cleanest, meanest and greenest cannabis. The expression of fundamentals in farming: coveted genetics, clean cultivation and the power of nature, Aster's cannabis is pesticide free and sustainably produced. Their sun-grown flower continues the legacy of three generations of family farming in Northern California. From award-winning organic olive oil to fifty years of off-the-grid ranching, Aster embodies responsible stewardship, integrity, and consistent quality. As CEO of Aster Farms, Julia brings expertise in entrepreneurship, supply chain management and business development to the Aster team. Her personal interest in cannabis is rooted in her battle with chronic migraines, incorporating the plant with her prescribed routine to mitigate symptoms, balance equilibrium and chart a healthy course. Julia develops Aster's high-level vision, ensuring the team is two steps ahead as the company scales. Prior to Aster Farms Julia was co-founder and CEO of NMRKT, an affiliate marketing platform for content providers. She led the company through TechStars and it's acquisition by XO Group in 2016, where she went on to be the Director of National Revenue Products. Julia's career began as a buyer for Bloomingdale's, giving her a solid foundation in retail and supply chain economics. Today, Julia continues to be a mentor to TechStars and to young entrepreneurs in many fields. Sam’s family has roots in Lake and Mendocino Counties, the home region of Northern California’s Aster Farms. Sam’s grandparents raised his father’s family on Signal Ridge at The Sundance Ranch, where they resided for over forty years. The ranch offered a unique learning experience for Sam growing up, as it was, and continues to be, a sustainable, off-the-grid farm run by the family. Another uncle resides in Lakeport, where he owns and operates an award-winning organic olive farm. Sam channels the family passion for eco-conscious farming and sustainability into Aster, coupled with his storied journey founding a creative agency working side-by-side with some of the greatest talents in the film as a producer and conceptual partner for directors, production companies, ad agencies, and brands. See, Sam’s no stranger to hard work and the toils of entrepreneurship—there’s that time in high school he created Krooked Skateboards in his Oakland garage and sold it to legendary skater Mark Gonzales, turning Krooked into an iconic global brand. Sam’s film work is top-tier, too. He was awarded the Cannes Gold Lion for Excellence in Music, Best Music Video at the Canada International Film Festival and his films received two distinct Young Directors Award nominations at Cannes along with nominations at One Screen Film Festival for documentary film and Best Music Video at the Palm Beach International Film Festival. Sam’s a born leader and innovator sharing his passions and love with wife Julia Jacobson, the CEO and Director of Business Strategy at Aster Farms.

Listen in on an exclusive interview with my new friend Jennifer B. White. She is the filmmaker behind the Pretty Toxic, a ground-breaking documentary due to be released in 2019. It focuses on chemicals in our cosmetics, makeup, and personal care products. It’s a story that pulls the audience in on a very personal topic—the desire to be attractive and the lure of products that promise to deliver on those objectives. The film takes the audience on a journey of discovery, bringing clarity to widespread confusion about ingredients, marketing gimmicks, and even greenwashing. It not only reveals the health risks at stake for women, but offers examples of safer products they can use to avoid common chemicals of concern. It also examines new legislation, what the FDA can—and cannot do—and the effects these chemicals can have on the environment and our precious world. Jennifer is known for her award-winning movie directing and screenwriting. She’s has worked with major studios like Universal Pictures as a tagline writer and movie marketing professional on films like The Wolfman, Robin Hood, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Fast and Furious, Little Fockers, Larry Crowne, and many more!  She also wrote, directed and produced, Mary Loss of Soul, which was awarded Best Director and Best Feature Film at Boston International Film Festival in 2014, and was nominated for Best Feature Film at Palm Beach International Film Festival.  In this interview Jennifer phones in from her home in Boston to chat, share some amazing information on what she’s learned in the past year of filming, and so much more!  Connect with Jennifer on all major platforms here: https://www.facebook.com/PrettyToxicDoc/  https://www.instagram.com/prettytoxicdoc/  https://twitter.com/PrettyToxicDoc https://www.facebook.com/JenniferBWhite.Director/ https://twitter.com/MaryLossofSoul Also mentioned in the show: PureHaven.com BeautyCounter.com/cassandramcclure     Thanks again for listening today!
