What if, instead of just watching Hamlet, you could step inside the prince's mind? A revelatory new audio production reimagines Shakespeare's iconic tragedy as a first-person experience told through Hamlet's POV. We only hear the scenes in which he appears—every soliloquy becomes an inner monologue, every whisper a voice in our ears. With stunning binaural sound design by Tony Award–winner Mikhail Fiksel and an intimate, close-mic performance by Daniel Kyri (“Chicago Fire”) as the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet is transformed into a deeply personal journey through grief, paranoia, memory, and resolve. The six-episode podcast of Hamlet is produced by Make-Believe Association, an audio storytelling group based in Chicago. The production, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June, includes performances by John Douglas Thompson as Claudius (and the Ghost), Sharon Washington as Gertrude, and Jacob Ming-Trent as Polonius. In this episode, director Jeremy McCarter shares how technology unlocked new layers of intimacy and urgency in Shakespeare's play—and why, more than 400 years later, Hamlet's questions still resonate. >>>Listen to Hamlet at hamlet.fm or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Growing up around the hotel business, Amar Shah and Rahul Rohatgi never felt called to operate properties themselves. Instead, they felt compelled to tell the stories behind them—and how South Asians helped reshape the trajectory of the American hospitality industry. In this episode, Teague sits down with the directors of "The Patel Motel Story," a short-film making waves at the Tribeca Film Festival. For Amar, a self-described “counter kid” who grew up working at his family's gas station, the project is deeply personal. Rahul's path was different, but their shared roots and vision brought this story to life. The film is the result of years of research, interviews, and time spent at AAHOA conventions—piecing together a narrative that had never truly been told on screen. Together, they talk about heritage, the hustle behind the American Dream, and why the time was right to tell it now.

Documentary filmmakers Ellen Martinez and Steph Ching join host Michael Azevedo to discuss Slumlord Millionaire, winner of the Audience Award at the 2024 DOC NYC Film Festival.

We've been on the road - working, teaching, sweating (a lot), and soaking up every second of it. From coast to coast, we've had the honor of coaching high-performing, purpose-driven leaders and inspiring them to fuel their bodies well and train for longevity. But as always, they end up inspiring us just as much.   This week, we're sharing a behind-the-scenes look at a recent trip to New York, including a serendipitous moment that landed us at the Tribeca Film Festival to see a documentary about world-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa. From not knowing who he was to sitting in his restaurant just hours later, Liz shares the unexpected lessons Nobu taught her about success, passion, and staying in the game - no matter your age.   We also talk about Liz and Lee's philosophy on longevity (hint: it starts earlier than you think), how success comes when you're living your passion, and why it's never too late to do what you love.    Resources mentioned: Nobu Documentary - Tribeca Film Festival Hilliard Studio Method   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Longevity doesn't start at 70. It starts now - with strength, intention, and purpose. Success doesn't have a deadline. Nobu found global fame later in life because he never stopped doing what lit him up - proof that doing what you love is the real win. If your passion's gone, it's time to pivot. Whether you're 30 or 80, it's never too late to follow what lights you up.   Be Powerful with Liz & Lee, formerly Hilliard Studio Podcast, is focused on helping you find your inner power and for us to share our thoughts on society, culture, and current events. As the team behind Hilliard Studio Method in Charlotte, North Carolina, we love all things wellness and will also share info on how to live your healthiest life mentally, physically, and emotionally.   Liz Hilliard is an author, motivational speaker, personal & group trainer, podcast co-host and owner & creator of Hilliard Studio Method (HSM) – an internationally-renowned, core-centric, Pilates-based workout that uses the latest techniques to get the heart rate pumping and sweat dripping – uses “Be Powerful” as a daily mantra to empower and encourage women of all generations and fitness levels to accept themselves as they are and keep moving.     Lee Kennelly is the second half of the podcast and the Director of Training at Hilliard Studio Method. She is happy to be living life unabashedly with Liz and adores her teenage children who have probably never listened to the podcast! Lee is passionate about movement and teaching and loves being on the sports fields watching her children, making her line of Love Sauce salads, or going out to dinner for date night with Liz. While behind the mic and on the screen aren't necessarily her comfort zone, she loves podcasting with Liz and has enjoyed the opportunity to share her story with the hope of inspiring others to live more joyfully.    Podcast contact info: Liz's Instagram  Lee's Instagram Hilliard Studio Method HSM Facebook Liz & Lee's YouTube

Mike chats with co-directors Travis Wood and Alex Mallis about their debut feature The Travel Companion (2025), a painfully funny look at friendship, ambition, and emotional unraveling among aspiring filmmakers. The story centers on Simon (Tristan Turner), a struggling documentarian who clings to the one major perk in his life: the free airline travel he enjoys as the designated companion of his best friend and roommate Bruce (Anthony Oberbeck), a flight attendant. When Bruce starts dating the effortlessly cool and talented Beatrice (Naomi Asa), Simon spirals into insecurity and paranoia, terrified of losing his ticket—literally and figuratively.Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, The Travel Companion marks a sharp, darkly comedic debut for Wood and Mallis, blending deadpan wit with painfully relatable emotional stakes. Mike talks with the directors about their collaborative process, casting from the comedy and indie film worlds, and crafting a story that pokes at the messy, ego-driven realities of creative life.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

“Democrats in disarray” is more than just a trope — after last year's disastrous elections, the Dems are openly fretting about how to pull the party out of its crisis. Kara speaks to a panel of millennial leaders about how to rejuvenate the party; what role the generational divide plays in policy and agenda setting; and what Democrats need to do to win back younger voters (and older ones, too). Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) was first elected to Congress in 2022. He is the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and he's currently part of the “Fighting Oligarchy Tour” with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Amanda Litman is a co-founder of Run for Something, an organization that helps young, diverse progressives run for down-ballot races. Since its founding in 2017, Run for Something has helped elect nearly 1,500 candidates in 49 states and the District of Columbia – including more than 250 candidates in 2024, 18 of whom flipped their seats from red to blue. Litman's new book, “When We're in Charge: The Next Generation's Guide to Leadership” was just published. Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) was elected to the House last year, and she is the first openly transgender elected member of Congress. She is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a former Delaware State Senator, and a Run For Something alum. Her campaign and first few months in office (which included being banned from using the women's bathroom in the Capitol) is the subject of a new documentary “State of Firsts,” which just played at the Tribeca Film Festival and DC/DOX.

“Everything changed for the gay choral movement because they had twins: music and mission. They weren't just there for the music, and they weren't just there for the mission. I've been feeding my twins every day, and I feed them equally. Audiences that are interested in just music for music making are dying out. There are a lot more reasons to get them in: many concerts can reach into the community and be of service.”Tim Seelig is a conductor, speaker, author and educator. He is the Conductor Laureate of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus and Conductor Emeritus of the Turtle Creek Chorale in Dallas, Texas.

Good horror films should terrify audiences with memorable monsters and eerie effects, but great horror will also fearlessly tackle timely issues with complex characters and impactful resolve. This is exactly what Tina Romero does in her feature debut, “Queens of the Dead,” with her talented team of collaborators. Though she never expected to make a movie about zombies, the title makes for a beautiful nod to her dad, George, aka the “Father of the Zombie Film” or “Godfather of the Dead,” while still remaining true to herself. Which, as a talented multi-hyphenate, allowed her to imbue the film with even more soul and called back to her early days as a DJ. She speaks to the collective energy music fosters, how her DJ name added another layer to the film's setting, and how Kesha became the ideal voice for a queer-coded apocalyptic battle cry.   Romero joined me for a lively, revealing interview along with producer Natalie Metzger and actors Tomás Matos (Fire Island, Fantasmas) and Julie J before the film's premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. They all expressed their overwhelming excitement for working on a project that was as unapologetically queer and richly imagined, and were quick to hype up their sensational co-stars, including: Katy O'Brian, Jaquel Spivey, Riki Lindhome, Margaret Cho, Quincy Dunn-Baker, Jack Haven, Nina West, Dominique Jackson, and Cheyenne Jackson. Furthermore, they credit the makeup designer Christina Grant, hair department head Mitchell Beck, and costume designer David Tabbert for creating unforgettable looks that quite literally slay the house down boots.  The effortless rapport in the following recording and seen on-screen is a direct result of the entire team cultivating a sense of community and tolerance. Attacks against the LGBTQ+ community continue every day and this film is a testament that having an open dialogue and fighting back with kindness and honesty is the only way to achieve a brighter, more accepting future.

In this special bonus episode, Morgan sits down with director Zippy Kimundu to talk about her film, "Widow Champion" which is having its U.S. premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. "Widow Champion" is a powerful documentary about Rodah, a woman living in rural Kenya aiding her community. In these more rural areas of Kenya, when women marry, they move onto compounds with their husbands' families. In the event of their husbands dying, there is a law called "widow inheritance," which was intended to have the in-laws care for their deceased loved one's widow. In reality, it has become a tool for land grabs, deeply rooted in misogyny. After the loss of her own husband, Rodah's home was taken from her. Rodah and her children spent 7 years living on the street. But through mediation and reconciliation, Rodah was able to find resolution with her in-laws. Believing so deeply in this process, Rodah now dedicates herself to other widows and their families, aiming to help them find common ground to move forward together. "Widow Champion" premieres on 09 June 2025 at 8:15pm with screenings on the 10th, 12th, and 15th. For tickets, you can head over to the Tribeca Film Festival website. "Widow Champion" will also be screening at DC/Dox on 14 June 2025, and you can learn more here. For Morgan's full review of "Widow Champion," you can find it on the Female Gaze: The Film Club website. You can follow Female Gaze: The Film ClubInstagramBlueSkyWebsite

The Texas based filmmaker Bryan Poyser returns for his 3rd visit to the podcast. It's been 11 years since he visited. His new film, a comedy, is called "Leads" and will be having its world premiere this week at the Tribeca Film Festival. Written and directed by two-time Independent Spirit Award nominee Bryan Poyser, Leads is a sharp, spirited comedy about second acts and sibling chaos. Mags (Heather Kafka) is a drama lecturer with a steady job, a kid to raise, and her dreams of artistic greatness on the back burner — until her charmingly unpredictable younger brother Merritt (Justin Arnold) shows up out of nowhere… and signs up for her acting class. What starts as an awkward reunion quickly spirals into a hilariously messy journey as old wounds, big ambitions, and way-too-honest monologues bubble to the surface. With Mags trying to maintain control and Merritt stirring the pot, the class turns into a chaotic proving ground for everyone's creative (and personal) baggage. Poyser turns the classroom into a comedic pressure cooker, where drama — both scripted and unscripted — explodes in surprising, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud ways. With standout performances from Kafka and Arnold, plus a winning ensemble that includes Macon Blair and Sara Paxton, Leads is a love letter to late bloomers, awkward family reunions, and the beautiful mess of trying to make art — and sense — of your life. —Cara Cusumano (Tribeca Film Festival) https://youtu.be/aUj9N5OfwEs

Some films aim to entertain; others aim to provoke. Lemonade Blessing dares to do both—and does so with unapologetic flair. At first glance, the film is a bold, raunchy sex comedy. But peel back the irreverent humor, the teenage horniness, and the sacrilegious hijinks, and you'll find something much deeper pulsing beneath the surface: a raw, reflective exploration of generational trauma, toxic masculinity, and the quiet desperation of growing up with inherited wounds.In this interview, Following Films sits down with writer-director Chris Merola, a Gen Z filmmaker whose work channels both playful nostalgia and piercing cultural critique. With scenes shot in his own childhood home and props pulled from his real-life video game collection, Lemonade Blessing is as personal as it is provocative. Merola opens up about the journey of making the film, the adolescent awakening that inspired it, and his hope that the film's outrageous "skin" might draw in teen boys—particularly those vulnerable to toxic influencers—and leave them with something more lasting: its soul.Audiences will have the chance to experience Lemonade Blessing at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, with four scheduled screenings:Thursday, June 5 at 7:15 PM – SVA Theater (Beatrice), 333 West 23rd StreetFriday, June 6 at 9:00 PM – Village East Cinemas (VEC-04), 181-189 2nd AvenueSaturday, June 14 at 6:00 PM – Village East Cinemas (VEC-04), 181-189 2nd AvenueSunday, June 15 at 11:15 AM – Village East Cinemas (VEC-02), 181-189 2nd AvenueDon't miss this bold, timely, and soul-searching debut from a filmmaker with something vital to say—and a wild, unforgettable way of saying it.
