Last January 2024 episode of the program all about TV. Our guests: Rudy Valdez, Emmy-nominated executive producer and director of Choir, Disney+'s  six-part docuseries on the Detroit Youth Choir that launches January 31st, and FX senior vice president of creative and cultural diversity Shola Ajewole and Fiim Independent artist development director Angela Lee, discussing new joint venture Imaginar TV Incubator.    

Carlos is a documentary that takes the viewer from legendary guitarist Carlos Santana's beginnings in Mexico to concerts across the world in a musical career that has lasted over fifty years. It goes off-stage as well, exploring his spiritual journey and life with his family, from mother and father, to siblings, and children. In this episode of Factual America, Matthew Sherwood meets Carlos' director, Rudy Valdez, to discuss Santana's storied life. Their conversation reveals Carlos as an innovative and laser-focused musician, a story teller with a brilliant memory, and a man always seeking to go further, deeper and higher, whether in his music or life beyond. In addition, Rudy shares how he came to direct Carlos almost despite himself, the intimate nature of the documentary's production, and his determination to create a film that felt just like you were hanging out with Carlos himself, something that for Matthew made the film very cool, indeed! From fame to family, stardom to spirituality, mysterious tapes and revealing videos of walls, this episode of Factual America takes you from the past, into the present, and maybe even to the future. Plus at the end of the episode Matthew and Rudy have a conversation about the Golden Age of documentary: how Rudy defines it, its duration, and where he believes documentary film making finds itself now. “... what we always tried to do throughout this process is show the music, show it in relation to spirituality, show spirituality and the relation to family. And... come back to music, come back to spirituality, come back to family... all of those things were part of this collective consciousness for Carlos and they were always equally driving his journey and his life...” – Rudy Valdez

Today on Art of the Cut, we speak with director, Rudy Valdez, and his editor Viridiana Lieberman about the new documentary, Carlos about guitar legend, Carlos Santana.  Rudy is a two-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker. His HBO documentary The Sentence was a Sundance Audience Award-winner. He's also worked on numerous other projects as a cinematographer. Viri, also worked on The Sentence with Rudy as his editor, and she's a director in her own right, directing the ESPN documentary, Born to Play, which she also edited.

Rudy Valdez entered filmmaking with a desire to find his voice. The Emmy-winning documentarian spoke with hosts Faith and Greg about the importance of diverse subjects and storytellers in film. The crew also discusses behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Rudy's recent project Translators, and how language can be a tool for improving access and breaking down barriers.

Translators, Directed by Emmy-award winning filmmaker Rudy Valdez, is the documentary short film that follows the stories of three immigrant children (Densel – 11, Hayre - 13 and Virginia - 16) who are responsible for handling complex adult conversations and helping to make decisions beyond their years. The impactful film highlights the need to provide resources to Latino communities to eliminate barriers for non-English speaking adults and provide support in closing language and opportunity gaps. It is nearly impossible to navigate everyday life in America without being able to speak English, especially when it comes to crucial matters like healthcare and finances, and daily tasks like grocery shopping or reading mail. Many first-generation Latinos are dependent on the youngest members of their family to communicate in English. Of adult first-generation Latinos, 23% say they can carry on a conversation in English very well. That number increases with each following generation, leaving the crucial task of translating in the hands of the youngest members of families..On this episode, our resident red carpet correspondent, MichellAdonna represents OUT LOUD for the podcast holding it down on the red carpet of The 2023 Tribeca Film Festival where she conducted interviews with Rudy Valdez (Director), as well as Leslie Grace (In the Heights, Batgirl).  LOL-eros, we hope you find these conversations as inspiring as we do  WEPA!WEB SITE: https://translatorsfilm.com/#TranslatorsFilm

The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) estimates that internationally there were just 25 million tourist arrivals in 1950. 68 years later this number had increased to 1.4 billion international arrivals per year. Traveling has obviously changed a lot because of COVID-19, but it still remains one of the most sought out activities by humans. Something about exploring the unknown, meeting new people and going on adventures. One of the beauties of traveling is how you're pushed to become more vulnerable, to open up, and how doing so allows you to form deep relationships with strangers in a very short period of time. That's how I met Rudy. Today we go on a WALK to explore traveling and the wonders it brings. For context, this episode was recorded a couple months after the WHO announced the COVID-19 pandemic, so we focus on traveling up until that point.

In this episode Jose speaks to playwright Jocelyn Bioh and director Saheem Ali, who star in the documentary "Reopening Night" (available on HBOMax from Dec. 20).

Bioh and Ali look back at their thrilling summer and reflect on how their artistry has been informed by the pandemic and share their wishes for theater in 2022. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Tuesday: Cindy Shank was living a comfortable life at home with her three little girls and husband when one day the feds came knocking. They were there to arrest her for not telling the police about an ex-boyfriend's drug dealing several years prior. That's the story behind a new HBO documentary, 'The Sentence' - directed by Shank's brother, Rudy Valdez. Sam talks to Cindy and Rudy about documenting the impact on their family, a mother's love for her children, and how the film has brought politicians together on both sides of the aisle.

This week on the show we get the opportunity to interview Rudy Valdez and Cindy Shank from the powerful HBO documentary "The Sentence" which  explores the devastating consequences of mass incarceration and mandatory minimum drug sentencing through Cindy's story,  a mother of three young girls serving a 15-year sentence in federal prison for her tangential involvement in a Michigan drug ring years before. An amazing story documented over 10 years by Cindy's younger brother Rudy. The Sentence follows Cindy’s struggles to be present in her children's lives from behind bars and her daughters' experiences growing up without their mother at home, while her husband, parents and siblings fight for her release before the last months of the Obama administration's Clemency Project.   For more info and full notes, visit http://supermamas.com like us on https://www.facebook.com/supermamaspodcast/ Double tap on https://www.instagram.com/_supermamas/ 

In 2008, ‘The Sentence' director Rudy Valdez was working low-level production jobs when, out of the blue, his sister received a lengthy mandatory prison sentence on charges related to years-old drug crimes committed by her ex-boyfriend. Valdez tells us about becoming a filmmaker after setting out to document the lives of his sister's kids and to show the impact of mandatory sentencing policies on families.

The Sentence draws from hundreds of hours of footage, filmmaker Rudy Valdez shows the aftermath of his sister Cindy’s 15-year sentence for conspiracy charges related to crimes committed by her deceased ex-boyfriend—something known, in legal terms, as “the girlfriend problem.” Valdez’s method of coping with this tragedy is to film his sister’s family for her, both the everyday details and the milestones—moments Cindy herself can no longer share in. But in the midst of this nightmare, Valdez finds his voice as both a filmmaker and activist, and he and his family begin to fight for Cindy’s release during the last months of the Obama administration’s clemency initiative. Whether their attempts will allow Cindy to break free of her draconian sentence becomes the aching question at the core of this deeply personal portrait of a family in crisis. Director Rudy Valdez stops by to talk about his intimate, and loving family saga that support each other no matter the cost.
