Do you hold everything that you do up to the light to make sure it will be pleasing to Him, or do you just give of yourself what is pleasing or convenient to you?

Powerhouse actress and life coach Brittany S. Hall is back and a lot has changed since her last time on the show. From her Gotham Award nomination for her performance in the feature film, "Test Pattern," to her starring role in the recently released feature film, "Imani," Brittany is intentionally manifesting the life she desires for herself and is open to receiving it all. Today, she discusses how to navigate emotional content that hits close to home, how to best utilize your script supervisor on set, and the difference between investing in your confidence as an actor versus investing in your skills.

I'm joined for this episode by Tab from Test Pattern to discuss Wolf Creek from 2005.Wolf Creek is a 2005 horror film set in the outback of Australia. The movie follows three young backpackers travelling through a remote region when they are attacked by a man named Mick Taylor. Taylor is a sadistic killer who enjoys torturing and murdering his victims. The film was criticized for its graphic violence, but it was also praised for its suspenseful storytelling and eerie setting. If you're looking for a horror movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat, then Wolf Creek is worth a watch.Wolf Creek is available to stream on Stan (Australia) and Tubi (US).Tab's Socials:Twitter - https://twitter.com/horrorflicktabTest Pattern on Twitter - https://twitter.com/testpatternshowTest Pattern Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/test-pattern-a-horror-movie-podcast/id1173299455If you're enjoying the podcast, you can support me at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dingomoviepodA Dingo Ate My Movie Socials:Twitter - @DingoMovieFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/dingomoviepodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/dingomoviepodEmail - pete@dingomoviepod.comWeb - dingomoviepod.comSupport the show

Test patterns are used to assess the picture quality of television sets and monitors and to assist in picture adjustment and troubleshooting. In the past, when television programmes were not broadcast around the clock, test pictures were published at times of day when there were no programmes on. To the layman, they simply look very structured and colourful. For the expert, it is recognisable whether there are problems, for example, with certain colour channels or the like. Thus, errors can be found that would otherwise not be discovered because they are hardly visible in the actual application or are not obvious enough. So such images serve as a health check of the system. In our everyday life - so it seems to me - such pictures, regularly applied, would also be helpful. I think they would protect us better from burnout, stress, wrong work-life balance etc. Do you think you could design or find such a test picture for yourself? I wish you an extraordinary day!

En tur i byen ender galt for Renesha. Hun vågner op i en fremmed seng, uden at vide hvad der er sket. Hun er muligvis offer for et seksuelt overgreb, så Renesha og hendes kæreste Evan tager på hospitalet for at få lavet et "rape kit". Det viser sig at være en større udfordring end som så. http://www.ikassenshow.dk/2021/05/i-kassen-749-test-pattern-2019.html

For this episode of Carolyn Talks… I speak with writer, director and producer Shatara Michelle Ford about Test Pattern, her debut feature film, and about how her approach as a filmmaker shows the connections between race, politics and gender create situations where victims of sexual assault are marginalized by the very systems that are supposed to offer support.As an act, sexual assault or rape are about the perpetrator taking control away from the victim, and exerting their will and power over someone more vulnerable than them. For the victim this violence forces them into a state where who they were before, has been fundamentally changed, and for Renesha (Brittany S. Hall) it also reveals the ways Black women are offered little aid when they’re hurt and in need.Visit KinoMarquee.com for show times of Test Pattern on virtual cinemas.

Denise talks about a movie Test Pattern and how it triggered her and healing through it.

Shatara Michelle Ford’s directorial feature debut “Test Pattern” is a definite conversation starter, potentially divisive ones. This 82 minute drama centers Renesah (Brittany S. Hall) in the aftermath of a night out with her friend Amber (Gail Bean) that ended with her waking up in the bed of a man not her live-in boyfriend Evan (Will Brill).  The audience's perception of Renesha and Evan's relationship through witnessing a meet-cute in a bar that morphs into an awkward encounter at a grocery store that leads to a first date. This pair of opposites (Renesha is outgoing, high-achieving executive and Evan is a laid-back but charming tattoo artist) come together quickly but seem to connect deeply. A quick time-lapse shows this evolution via subtle changes; a new tattoo for her, a new mustache for him coupled with in-story flashbacks (from her) to pivotal moments.  All of this emotional building runs beneath the creeping horror of realizing the opening scene showing Renesha sitting on the side of a bed in a darkly lit room precariously holding a glass of water but visibly blurry and muddled is leading up to exactly what you think it is, her rape. Don't worry, "Test Pattern" isn't about to show her violation.  The Trauma's in the Details  Thankfully, Ford focuses on Renesha attempting to work through both her feelings and a staggering number of roadblocks to being able to preserve the proof of her assault and report her rape to the police. Her boyfriend Evan struggles with being supportive, understanding and controlling his mounting fury. Watching this unraveling in the context of a soul crushing slow burn turns the volume up on hurt simmering between the two.  There's an exacting attention to the detail in this narrative. Watching this couple try to navigate a system that feels purposely design to discourage will absolutely try your patience. It may even leave you wondering about some of Ford's choices. But by the midway point, it'll  be clear testing the audience is absolutely deliberate.  "Test Pattern" is built on a breadth of interconnected (and deeply emotional) issues like being frustrated, demoralized, repeatedly re-victimized, and dejected. Between cinematographer Ludovica Isidori and music by Rob Rusli sonic and visual contributions, Ford's script and the strength of Hall and Brill's performances tackling the shortfalls of the medical and criminal justice system on sexual assault victims and how it can expose the cracks in even seemingly idyllic relationship lead to a highly impactful story. Buckle up because this slow-burn relies heavily on body language, inference and (an inevitable) lack of resolution.  Listen to the crew work through the highs and lows of "Test Pattern"  By now you know, Ro is notorious (I accept this moniker) for suggesting films outside Kriss and Phenom's wheelhouse. We're still in a whole pandemy but that didn't stop her from suggesting the crew tackle a serious film while on the edge of exhaustion. The end result is, a conversation that questioned some narrative choices while diving into the complexity of trying to figure out what being supportive to someone in the midst of trauma might actually look like.  Now playing in virtual cinemas.

Today my guest is Shatara Michelle Ford the writer, director, and producer of TEST PATTERN. Part psychological horror, part realist drama, TEST PATTERN unfolds against the backdrop of national discussions around inequitable health care and policing, the #MeToo movement, and race in America. The film follows an interracial couple whose rock-solid relationship is put to the test when Renesha, a Black woman played by Brittany S. Hall, is sexually assaulted. Her white boyfriend (Will Brill) insistently pursues a rape kit and is met with medical and administrative incompetence at every turn. The film analyzes the effects of the systemic factors and social conditioning women face when navigating sex and consent within the American patriarchy, along with exploring institutional racism from a Black female point of view.

Alex has a few thoughts in his mind, such as a biopic of Lenny Bruce, or a movie about a black uprising in Los Angeles. As he makes the rounds both in the Hollywood community and European movie centers for ideas, he fantasizes about movie scenarios of those everyday situations he is in. These fantasies are influenced by his movie idols, some who he meets such as Italian director Federico Fellini and French actress Jeanne Moreau. Concurrently, he is considering what to do about his personal life. He, his wife Beth and their two daughters live a middle class lifestyle. He is wondering whether it makes sense to "move up", which means that movie making not only has to achieve his main purpose of saying something meaningful, but also has to be commercially successful. That need for commercial success may ultimately take artistic control out of his hands. 1991 Scenes From a Mall - On their 16th anniversary, a married couple's trip to a Beverly Hills mall becomes the stage for personal revelations and deceptions.He Said, She Said - TV viewers love seeing the two reporters with opposing views on the show "He Said, She Said".
