Tribeca Festival Director and SVP of Programming Cara Cusumano joins No Film School's GG Hawkins to reflect on 25 years of Tribeca and explain what independent filmmakers should understand about today's festival landscape. Cusumano discusses Tribeca's evolution from its post-9/11 roots into a multidisciplinary storytelling festival, how programmers evaluate nearly 14,000 submissions, why filmmakers should build relationships with their peers instead of chasing gatekeepers, and how festivals are responding to shifts in film distribution and audience behavior. She also shares how emerging filmmakers can participate in festival communities even without a film in the lineup and why creating distinctive work matters more than waiting for the perfect opportunity. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Cara Cusumano discuss... How Tribeca's founding mission of community, connection, and celebrating movies has endured across 25 years Cara's path from attending the first Tribeca Festival as a film student to becoming Festival Director and SVP of Programming Why networking is really about building relationships with your contemporaries and growing together throughout your careers How programmers view filmmakers and why they are actively looking for work to champion rather than trying to keep filmmakers out What makes a project feel distinctly right for Tribeca, from independent storytelling to memorable audience experiences How Tribeca manages and evaluates nearly 14,000 film and project submissions Why passionate advocacy inside the programming room can matter even when programmers disagree about a film Why festival feedback is complicated and how programming decisions can depend on the composition of the entire lineup, not simply the quality of an individual film How Tribeca expanded beyond features and shorts into television, podcasts, games, VR, immersive work, and creator-driven storytelling The value of human curation as an alternative to algorithmic discovery Why Tribeca is interested in projects that blur the boundaries between film, games, immersive media, podcasts, and other formats How the role of film festivals is changing as selling an independent film directly out of a festival becomes more difficult Why festivals increasingly function as places for talent discovery, career building, networking, and demonstrating audience demand How the in-person festival experience can create moments that cannot be replicated through individual at-home viewing How emerging filmmakers can participate in Tribeca through programs like the Storytelling Summit even if their work is not selected Why Cara hopes Tribeca remains flexible enough to respond to new forms of storytelling that do not yet have an established industry category Her advice to stop waiting for the perfect moment, keep collaborating, and make work because of the story rather than its potential festival or distribution outcome Memorable Quotes: “It's building a relationship with your contemporaries, and then you all grow. Like anyone who I know who has a position of power is only 'cause we were in the trenches as assistants 20 years ago.” “Programmers want to discover films. They live in fear of missing something amazing. They want to build those relationships.” “The industry player's coming less to buy completed projects than they are to scout future talent.” “There's never a perfect moment and, and it- the more that you can be creating and collaborating, and don't think about, like, what festival is this going to get into or what's the distribution going to be?” Guest: Cara Cusumano on IMDb Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram
What if the reason you can't get ahead financially has nothing to do with money and everything to do with the six areas of your life you've been ignoring to chase it? Koya Webb is a wellness expert, author, and founder of the Well-Being Rituals movement. Her new book breaks down the seven areas of well-being — spiritual, emotional, mental, nutritional, physical, social, and financial (yes, financial is last) — and the science-backed rituals that rebuild each one from the ground up. This conversation goes deep — from why Koya had to heal her obsession with "having it all figured out," to the moment she lost her mother and had to relearn how to grieve without numbing out. We get into transformational letter writing, breath healing, the rice experiment that proves your words carry energy, and why chasing perfection is actually sabotaging your well-being. If you've ever felt like success without peace is a hollow win, this one's for you. Takeaways: Well-being isn't about having it figured out — it's about self-awareness, daily Financial well-being is last for a reason: chase it first and the other six collapse underneath it Emotions aren't the enemy — suppressed emotions become constriction, and constriction becomes disease Transformational letter writing lets you process pain without confronting the person who caused it "Stack your rituals" when you're in a season of grief — you don't need to do everything, just the next small thing Perfectionism doesn't fill your buckets — it drains them Chills are a spiritual "yes" — learn to listen to what your body already knows High-functioning doesn't mean healed — "I'm fine" is often the loudest sign you're not processing CTAs / Links:
Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to have back on the show once again: Satanic ritual abuse, sex trafficking, and Harvey Weinstein survivor and whistleblower, acclaimed and professional actress, model, artist and painter, and a brilliant woman who has risked her life to shine a light on the darkness of her life and the lives of other victims and survivors: Paz de la Huerta Here's a little bit about Paz if you are new here, missed her other episodes or need a little recap on her testimony: Born on September 3, 1984, in the heart of New York City, she entered a world of glittering privilege and artistic promise only to confront unimaginable darkness. The daughter of Judith Bruce, a “women's-rights activist”, and Ricardo de la Huerta, a Spanish duke descended from nobility, Paz grew up in the creative pulse of Tribeca. From her earliest years she painted imaginary safe spaces and dollhouse interiors, danced, sang, acted, and dreamed - her spirit already reaching for freedom even as control and betrayal closed in around her.By fourteen she had already claimed the big screen. In the Miramax production The Cider House Rules she delivered a raw, unforgettable turn as Mary Agnes, earning a scholarship to the prestigious St. Anne's School, where she graduated with one of the highest IQ scores in it's history. Her presence was magnetic - blending classic Hollywood siren allure with profound vulnerability. Audiences saw a rising star of fierce sensuality and luminous talent. What they could not see was the private war she was fighting.From the tender age of five, Paz endured childhood incest, alcohol-fueled exploitation, and a pattern of control that spanned continents. Her mother, jealous of the attention and gifts that surrounded her daughter, is described by Paz as the architect of deeper betrayal: trafficking her to powerful figures, including Harvey Weinstein, spying through connected apartments rented to Miramax, and systematically stealing her earnings while living lavishly. A jealous sister, a complicit godmother, and a web of handlers turned every potential refuge into another trap. In 2010, at a Golden Globes after-party for Blue Valentine, Weinstein forced his way into her Greenwich Street apartment and raped her, repeating the assault weeks later. When Paz began to speak, the retaliation intensified. On the set of Nurse 3D a stunt vehicle dragged her ten feet in what she has come to realize was an assassination attempt. Later, under the care of neurosurgeon Aaron Filler, she suffered a catastrophic brain injury that took seven years to heal. Five years ago, after a final year of brutal repeated rape in Madrid at the hands of her father, she escaped - and with the help of the plant medicine Iboga, she painstakingly reconstructed her shattered timeline, and began the long journey to recovery.Through it all, Paz's spirit refused to break. In 2010 - long before the #MeToo movement - she went to a journalist. In 2017 she spoke publicly to The New York Times and Vanity Fair, adding her voice to the global reckoning even while still under the control of those who had harmed her. Today she acts, models, directs, and paints from a place of hard-won autonomy, surrounded by the animals she calls her angels, grounded in Christian faith and her daily spiritual practice.Paz is not defined by what was done to her. She is defined by what she has chosen to become: a whistleblower who risks everything to expose systemic evil, a survivor advocate who turns personal hell into collective hope, a renaissance woman whose creativity and courage refuse to be extinguished. Her life proves that even the most shattered spirit can rise, reclaim its voice, and inspire millions to fight for truth. From the streets of Tribeca to the heights of Hollywood and through the valley of death, she has forged unbreakable wings from truth, art, and unyielding faith. The siren survives. The angel rises. And her voice - clear, righteous, and eternally luminous - echoes as a rallying cry for every soul still finding its way out of the dark.PAZ'S PLAYLIST ON 'THE IMAGINATION': https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI5gwAmfrmIADONATE TO PAZ'S GOFUNDME: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-paz-fundraiser-for-spanish-criminal-lawyers-andPAZ'S ART: -Interview Magazine Feature: www.https://interviewmagazine.com/art/how-paz-de-la-huerta-found-peace-in-her-surrealists-paintingsCONNECT WITH PAZ:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paz.de.la.huertaIG: https://www.instagram.com/thefugitive1984/CONNECT W/ EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comSubstack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show
Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Jennifer Esposito, actress, director, New York Times bestselling author of Jennifer's Way, and the writer-director-star of the award-winning film Fresh Kills. Today Jennifer is getting into the full story behind Fresh Kills… where the idea came from, what it cost her to make it, and why the industry did everything it could to make sure you never heard of it. From growing up in Staten Island surrounded by the mafia and the young women trapped inside that world, to betting her house(literally!) on a film she believed in with everything she had, Jennifer takes us through the fight of her creative life. She opens up about members of the industry who didn't show up when she needed them most, the standing ovation at Tribeca that still couldn't get her a distribution deal for an entire year, and the Hollywood machine that tried to bury Fresh Kills. And now that a major studio is positioning their new Godfather film as the "first female mafia story"? Jennifer has something to say about that. Then just when you think the story can't hit any harder, she lands in Paris, and for the first time in her entire life, her nervous system goes quiet. She tells us what life is like in Paris, and how she's finally transformed her life and health for the better. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You were never the problem. Jennifer spent years in Hollywood shrinking herself to fit a mold that was never built for her…. told she wasn't the right type, wasn't white enough, wasn't the girl next door. The moment she stopped trying to be what everyone else needed her to be and started making Fresh Kills on her own terms, everything changed. Bet on yourself before you ask anyone else to. Jennifer mortgaged her house because she was done asking people who didn't believe in her to fund something they couldn't understand. When no one would greenlight her vision, she greenlit it herself. That is the Heal Squad mindset. Stop waiting for someone to give you what you already know you deserve, and start moving. You can't heal in the environment that made you sick. Three months in Paris and Jennifer barely recognizes herself. Smiling on the street. In the pool. Playing records. She says she has never in her entire life had a calm nervous system, until now.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Sammy Nussdorf, founder and CEO of Meadow Lane, the buzzy Tribeca gourmet grocer that's been dubbed the "Erewhon of NYC." They dig into the menu obsessions (chicken tendies, the famous grapes, PB&J pockets), how Sammy built the entire business in public on TikTok as @brokebackcontessa, and what it's really like navigating virality, trolls, and "Chicken Nugget-gate" as a first-time restaurant operator.

Watch it on YouTube. No spoilers. This is the making of the docuseries The Man Will Burn. This is the context for what was filmed, who said what, and what got cut; the cameras and the chaos (and the quinoa).

They dive right into the interweaving 35 years of archival footage with the personal journeys of a dozen participants from a dozen places. Watch Marian and Jehane's conversation, recorded the day after the premiere at Tribeca.

I don't know about you, listeners, but what stands out to me in this episode is not the shock of torturing old man corn (see what I did there?), not the insightful political commentary on the violence of the carceral state, not Emily's medium quality explanation of the concept of tyranny of the majority, but the fact that they mentioned the 2016 black comedy Sausage Party so many times without getting the title of the movie right even once. Emily and Ky are for the streets, so that's where they're recording (recorning?). Get tucked in like cute little peas in a pod, envision the streets of Tribeca, and tune in!

Cara Cusumano, Director of Programming for the Tribeca Festival, joins Past Present Feature as the festival celebrates its 25th year. She pulls back the curtain on how one of the world's premier film festivals selects its films, and how curation, audience, and timing shape every lineup.

I conclude Tribeca special coverage with one of my favorite films at the festival, CAITY (2026). To say Lindsay Calleran has been through some things to get her debut feature made is underselling it by a lot. Please read this First Person IndieWire article that Lindsay wrote; it gives a lot of important background to her story and how CAITY came to be.I'm so impressed by so many different things: the resiliency she showed in both losing her father and getting this film made; the journey to sobriety; having the guts to put it all out there for the world to see.Mostly, though, I'm impressed she made an absolute banger of a coming-of-age film. It has amazingly unique cinematography and an ending that you won't predict. It leaves you wanting to know more (and then feeling a little heartbroken after). That's great filmmaking.Lindsay and I discuss:the combination of a birthday, Tribeca premiere, and Father's Day when your debut feature is fictionalized version of your relationship with your father;how much real life influenced the final film;how she got into filmmaking;the unique touches of cinematography in this film;the incredible actors playing Caity and her father in this film, and somehow finding the chemistry between them;if casting directors are underrated in indie films;the EP/producer relationships for this film and the unique grant that made this film happen;why we don't see more films like this in festivals and theaters;what's next for her.Lindsay's Indie Film Highlight: LONG'S LONG LOST & MINI MART (2025) dir. by Julian DoanLinks:Follow Lindsay On Instagram

Ellwood also discusses Culture Club's unforgettable MTV presence, Boy George's groundbreaking public persona, the band's deep catalog beyond the hits, and the electric response to the documentary's Tribeca premiere. It's a lively look at the magic of collaboration, the power of pop music, and the enduring legacy of one of the 1980s' most iconic bands.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Jonathan Rodriguez Cefalu built the hardware that Snap shipped on people's faces — first the camera-only Gen 1 Spectacles, then the Gen 4 display version. His path through Stanford CS, an honors thesis on varifocal display optics, and a startup called Vergence (named after the vergence-accommodation conflict in AR) led him to Snap, and then to the problem he is working on now. Preamble AI exists to prevent the worst possible AI outcomes — starting with a class of attack that Preamble was the first to publicly demonstrate: prompt injection.Ted Schilowitz hosted this episode solo. Together, he and Jonathan worked through the architecture problem sitting under every AI assistant being deployed at scale right now: large language models see one token stream. There is no separation between what the developer intended and what an untrusted email or web page is quietly instructing the model to do. With Gemini Spark about to give AI agents access to tens of thousands of emails per user, this is not a theoretical concern. Jonathan's team has a proposed fix — and they have already shaped federal law.The episode also covered the week's XR and AI news: Google I/O announcements, Snap Spectacles Gen 6 details ahead of AWE, Matthew Ball joining Xbox, Anduril's battlefield AR wearable, and AI-generated feature films reaching Tribeca.Key Moments:[00:00] Ted opens solo — Charlie Fink and Rony Abovitz are out for the summer solstice[02:30] Google I/O: Gemini Spark and what "persistent AI agent" actually means in practice[08:15] Jonathan's Gmail test: asked to search tens of thousands of emails, it searched 30 and quit[14:40] XREAL Project Aura and the state of Android XR — a lot of spend for incremental steps[21:00] Snap Spectacles Gen 6 details: what Jonathan knows from building Gen 1 and Gen 4 from the inside[31:20] Snap vs. Meta: research that ships in the product vs. research that ships in a paper[38:45] Matthew Ball joins Xbox, Anduril EagleEyes, and battlefield AR wearables[44:10] AI on the Lot: Project Nara, Hell Grind, Dreams of Violet, Paul Schrader goes pro-AI[52:30] Jonathan introduces Preamble AI and the mission to prevent worst-case AI outcomes[58:00] The first public demonstration of prompt injection — what happened and why it matters[01:06:15] Why Gemini Spark will be especially vulnerable to prompt injection attacks[01:14:00] Preamble's proposed fix: a reserved token language that untrusted data cannot speak[01:21:30] NDAA Section 1638: the first US law making it illegal to give AI autonomous nuclear control[01:28:45] WarGames, "the only winning move is not to play," and what that means in 2026Brought to you by Zappar and Mattercraft.

What does it take to hike 26 miles at 14,000 feet with no signal, no Uber, and two of the funniest people alive? We're about to find out. Join me as I sit down with comedy legends Bob Odenkirk and David Cross at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival to discuss their documentary Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu — a film about friendship, mortality, and what happens when Hollywood strips away and the mountain shows you who you actually are. Plus: Why David chose Bob for this — and why Bob almost said no How Bob's heart attack during Better Call Saul gave the whole journey a different kind of weight The moment the mountain cracked them both open — and what they found on the other side Special thanks to Greenslate, Theorem Media, and Portrait for making this panel happen! Greenslate has been a longtime partner of AOP and it never gets old talking about the ways they have revolutionized production payroll and accounting for independent film.

What if the biggest efficiency problem in your factory isn't your machines, it's the dead time you waste before you even get to one.Workers queuing at ADP and ERP terminals every morning. A wing rib scrapped at the cost of $18,000 because the wrong work instruction was on screen. A program gone forever when the machinist who maintained it quietly for a decade retired to Poland. David witnessed all of these problems within his manufacturing acquisitions despite them having advanced tech for the time period.Chris sits down with David Caputo, Co-Founder of Harmoni, to get into how his intelligent factory orchestration system connects machines, people, and data for true control across the shop floor.Harmoni fills the gap in the renowned ISA-95 stack that most manufacturers never knew they were missing, supplementing human-intensive operations that make up 99% of the market.Harmoni operates within three buckets with the aim of wasting less time and making less mistakes. The system is designed to cover all bases without interfering with the essential human input needed to fulfil complex tasks. David talks to Chris about the labor automation, process control, and observability that Harmoni brings to the factory floor.In this episode, find out:What factory orchestration is and why David sees it as a distinct category from existing toolsHow David's experience acquiring and running four aerospace and defense manufacturers drove the creation of HarmoniWhy Harmoni's three pillars (labor automation, process control, and observability) address the ISA-95 gap that leaves most human-intensive factories underservedHow the no-titles, pods-based structure at Harmoni works and why David recommends it for companies under around 200 employeesWhat the Harmoni AI Lieutenant (HAL) does on the shop floor versus in the office, and why shop floor AI requires both context and a delivery mechanism to be usefulWhere David sees the 297,000 US manufacturers under 500 employees needing to compete in a world of autonomous factories and vertically integrated supply chainsWhy David advises manufacturers to ask one question before any software investment: how will this tool change what happens on my shop floorEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:"What Harmoni's built is a new category of technology. We call this factory orchestration, and there's a very simple goal: waste less time and make fewer mistakes." - David Caputo“Simply having indicator lights to say whether a machine's running is not telling you the full picture. A machine could be running but running very inefficiently. We're giving you the information you need and allowing you to manage your factory in real time.” - David Caputo“Somehow you have to produce more with less, all in the face of autonomous competition and vertically integrated supply chains.

Jayce wrote the episode, but I'm writing this… We know that we live in a world where emotions are fleeting- they roll through us like 2 second electric shock waves from distraction to distraction, but I STILL have not forgotten the night of June 5th where I sold my tickets to see Lorde at Gov Ball in exchange for a night in the presence of Madonna.It caused 2 days of silent treatment in my home when I sold the Gov Ball tickets and a mental health check since I LOVE Lorde. But… I also LOVE Madonna and am too old to “festival” anymore. In preparing for this Bite Sized episode on Madonna we played Confessions On A Dancefloor around the clock and I danced on air reliving my MySpace days. Even in getting ready to go to the event I felt like life was better and though giving up our phones was scary for exactly 2 seconds, I instantly felt like a new human being.I had an amazing discussion with my dear friend, David Russell, who is quite the music historian and a Madonna expert (that is the label I have given him, to be clear, he would never claim that title for himself), and I will share that talk later when Confessions II is finally released July 3. We talked about how BORING it is that there is so much that people are annoyed with about Madonna. Complaints about her age, her surgeries and her “need for relevance”… this actually bores me. The Beacon was teaming with people full of joy, acceptance, and unabashed expression. The talk was a display of Madonna's vulnerability actually. She wasn't a persona this night, she was a woman who had her best friend Debi Mazar in the audience with her celebrating her latest creation. This is the same woman who shut down Times Square the night before and performed in a skyscraper, for goodness sake. The woman on stage was both of these people. A full circle.So while Lorde was inspiring one generation (maybe a couple generations) at Gov Ball, I did not regret choosing to be at the Beacon June 5th to physically feel the decades of inspiration Madonna has provided us.The video is amazing and if you haven't seen it yet, that's crazy. Watch it below. You know by know that Kate Moss who looks better than ever is in the video, but it was a complete surprise to us as an audience and I screamed so loud that I scared myself when she came on the screen. Feeling that excited and young again… that was fun.For more on Madonna's look for Hung Up, check out my interview from waaaaaaay back with the amazing makeup artist, Gina Brooke.00:00 Intro | Madonna Takes Over Tribeca 202600:28 Confessions 2 Arrives01:29 Why Confessions Is Madonna's Masterpiece03:20 The Making of Confessions on a Dance Floor03:50 Why "Hung Up" Changed Pop Music04:59 Inside the Making of the "Hung Up" Video06:17 Madonna Filmed with Eight Broken Ribs07:16 Why the "Hung Up" Video Is Still Iconic07:49 Tribeca Premiere & Madonna Q&A08:28 Inside the Beacon Theatre Experience09:16 Madonna's Emotional Conversation10:46 The Confessions 2 Visual Album Reaction11:35 Final Thoughts | Will Confessions 2 Make History?

Dating in the digital world feels nearly impossible, and for Kevin, it truly is. In this episode, we dive into the UK-made comedy series "Patterns" focusing on Episode 4: Kevin's Series of Unfortunate Events, which is currently premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival! Kevin (played by Jake Watkins) is a hopelessly earnest romantic whose optimism far outweighs his self-awareness. By day, he works as a school's Online Safety Salamander. By night, he subjects himself to a relentless series of disastrous dates, convinced that persistence alone will eventually lead to love. His misadventures become a source of fascination for his colleagues: the confident, sharp-tongued school nurse Vera (Cecilia Noble) and geography teacher Dave Douglas (Ryan Sampson). But what Kevin fails to notice is that a genuine connection has been quietly forming much closer to home. MEET THE CAST & CREATORS • Kevin (Jake Watkins - BBC's 'I Kissed a Boy'): A lovable friend whose life never quite works out, dreaming of a Hollywood career but stuck as a Safety Salamander. • Dave Douglas (Ryan Sampson - Sky's 'Mr Bigstuff', 'Brassic', ITV's 'Plebs'): An eccentric geography teacher with the best intentions who thinks he's "down with the kids." • Vera (Cecilia Noble - BBC's 'Killing Eve', Netflix's 'Black Mirror'): A no-nonsense school nurse who acts as Kevin's anchor with tough love and emergency sausage rolls. • Creator & Writer: Asad Moghal, who drew inspiration from a string of his own real-life dating disasters to create this sharply observed, character-driven comedy. • Director: Rex Glensy, an orchestral conductor turned entertainment lawyer and filmmaker (director of 'Hill of Vision'), representing production company Aurelia Pictures. INSIDE THE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT "Everyone has had a disaster date... My goal as a director was to take a self-deprecating view of dating nightmares some of us might have had, so that at least we can laugh at ourselves instead of crying. The lead character, Kevin is all of us." Stay connected with me: https://www.chonacas.com/links/

Survivor 50 Panel at The Tribeca Film Festival Survivor celebrates its 25th anniversary at the iconic Tribeca Festival, bringing fans and legends together to reflect on 50 thrilling seasons of blindsides, alliances, and changing gameplay.

Music documentaries are a major part of the festival circuit, but this year at Tribeca, they're becoming something bigger: live events, legacy projects and cinematic extensions of the artists themselves. The festival opened with Questlove's new Earth, Wind & Fire documentary, followed by a performance from the legendary band and The Roots. Other music films and events this year center on Alicia Keys, Madonna, Peter Frampton, Katy Perry, Daft Punk and more. USA TODAY National Music Reporter Melissa Ruggieri joins The Excerpt to talk about why music films are having a moment, what separates a great one from a celebrity vanity project and how artists are using documentaries and concert films to reach audiences in new ways.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

A dive into the world of friendship with our latest "Friends Like Us" podcast episode! Marina Franklin host special guests Sharaé Nikai and David Lassiter as they talk about their incredible journey creating "The Other Gold" — a film about friendships' complexities. Watch it now on Apple TV and Tubi! Sharaé Nikai - Against industry odds, Jersey City native Sharaé Nikai wrote, produced, co-directed and starred in her very first feature film, "The Other, Gold." It is a heartfelt dramedy that follows a TV writer living in Little Tokyo as she navigates grief, isolation and the rekindling of a former BFF-ship. Out of 13,016 submissions, TOG was invited to world premiere as one of only 10 films in Tribeca's US Narrative Competition. This acclaim led to Nikai being in consideration for the 2025 Oscars, Spirit Awards and Emmys in the Outstanding Television Movie, Directing & Lead Actress categories. It also makes her the first Black female quadruple threat (sole writer/producer, director & star) to qualify for the Academy Awards with no studio or major production company backing. As a producer, Sharaé secured an exclusive Mental Health Awareness partnership for "The Other, Gold" at FOX-owned Tubi and sponsorship for its launch by Women in Film (WIF) and The Entertainment Community Fund. In March 2026, "The Other, Gold" was released worldwide in celebration of Women's History Month exclusively on Apple TV. In addition to TOG, Nikai appears in numerous ad campaigns, films and TV series including Grey's Anatomy and opposite Alison Brie in Sundance's "Horse Girl" (The DuPlass Bros/Netflix). Currently, she is the 2026 international voice of Nordstrom Rack all while developing her dramedy driven TV/film slate. In her spare time, Sharaé takes serious pride in the accent mark over her "e" and is the reigning (read: self-proclaimed) trap karaoke queen. David Lassiter is an American filmmaker, actor, writer, and musician from Jersey City, New Jersey. He co-directed and appeared in the feature film The Other, Gold (2024), which premiered at the Tribeca Festival before streaming on Apple TV+ and Tubi. Before transitioning into filmmaking, Lassiter worked as a fashion model and was signed to Wilhelmina Models, appearing in campaigns and editorial work for brands and publications including Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Vogue, GQ, Banana Republic, Swatch, and Levi's. He later studied acting in New York at HB Studio, Susan Batson Studio, and WB Workshops while appearing in national campaigns for Verizon, Macy's, and American Eagle. Lassiter also collaborated with Viacom on street-interview segments featured on MTV and MTV2. Always hosted by Marina Franklin - One Hour Comedy Special: Single Black Female ( Amazon Prime, CW Network), TBS's The Last O.G, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Hysterical on FX, The Movie Trainwreck, Louie Season V, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Conan O'Brien, Stephen Colbert, HBO's Crashing, and The Breaks with Michelle Wolf.
