When a long-time New Yorker introduces her niece to her beloved city, a doughnut and a waterfront view ignite memories of her greatest, but luckiest, loss. https://www.instagram.com/melissadirectherfilm/ Director Statement Some moments in time never really fade away. When Penny Jackson presented me with the monologue that we turned into the short film $13, the poignancy and truth of the character's experience with 9/11 hit home.While the monologue itself is beautiful, the director in me wanted to find a way to make this story a film - to reach out through the screen and make you feel what all of us who were in New York that day felt. And thus began another film collaboration between Penny Jackson and myself.The film is short, but I believe the impact is huge. I hope you too are moved to remember. ——- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 36! Our guest this episode is the New York Times bestselling author Abigail Hing Wen. She's probably best known for the book Loveboat, Taipei and its two companion novels Loveboat Reunion and Loveboat Forever, as well as Kisses, Codes, and Conspiracies. Her latest work is The Vale which will be released on September 16th.  The Vale is Illustrated by Yuna Cheong and Brandon Wu, and it's published by our favorite publisher Third State Books. It's a coming-of-age story that is both science fiction and fantasy in a way. Bran, the main protagonist is the son of two inventors and has helped them develop an immersive VR world called the Vale. There's a little action, romance, magic, technology, and mystery; and the themes include family, belonging, persistence, love, and friendship… in other words, there's something for every reader young and old. There's also a short film prequel being created called THE VALE–ORIGINS starring the award-winning actress, singer, and stage performer Lea Salonga. We highly recommend getting the Vale, and if you pre-order it and submit the receipt, you can even get some free stickers.  We learned a lot about Abigail in our conversation beyond her education and journey to writing. Other than novels, she's a producer, director, and woman-in-tech leader specializing in artificial intelligence… and she's a mother of two. She writes and speaks about tech, AI ethics, women's leadership and transforming culture. In our conversation, we also discuss: How The Vale got published Ways she included technology that's truly believable What it was like to create an illustrated novel The power of teacher guides and thoughtful questions What to expect from her debut directorial short film The Vale Origins And much more. To learn more about Abigail Hing Wen, you can visit her website abigailhingwen.com, follow her instagram @abigailhingwen, go to her Linktree for even more links, and of course, purchase The Vale!

You may know him best as the voice of Salem The Cat or Norbert from Sabrina The Teenage Witch and Angry Beavers but Nick Bakay is also the Writer/Producer who brought you Mom, King Of Queens, Paul Blart Mall Cop and Bookie.  What does it take to sustain a multi-decade entertainment industry career? Versatility. Nick takes us deep into Sabrina lore with tales of the old-school imagineering of Salem Saberhagen, brought to us via several cats, puppeteers, animatronics, trainers and cat treats. A Buffalo, NY native, Nick's facility at performing, writing, and producing allowed him to create opportunities for himself that were both entertaining and rewarding. He's heard from a generation of young women who felt empowered by Sabrina to take on adult life, even without the benefit of witchcraft. Along with his pal Keven James, Nick went from writing on King Of Queens to creating Paul Blart: Mall Cops One and Two, and Zookeeper. And it was his writing chops that forged a connection with Chuck Lorre, providing Nick with an opportunity to write for Two And A Half Men and go on to helm nine seasons of Mom, HBO's Bookie and an upcoming Netflix sitcom, Leanne. Nick is also a household name to sports fan who see his work on ESPN. He was recently inducted into the Buffalo Broadcasting Hall Of Fame and, a Quick Buffalo Indulgence Warning: Nick and Weezy do get a little carried away waxing sentimental about their shared Buffalo roots. Fritz is using one of his sick days and his seat is kept warm by Weezy's radio buddies, Tom Murphy and Scott Paton.

I've seen Desert of Blood and can tell you it's a sexy, noirish, fun vampire thriller that isn't for the faint of heart.In addition to writing and producing, Drew has worked as a story consultant and coach to Hollywood writers for more than two decades. For six years, he was a thesis advisor for MA students in the Humanities department at Mount Saint Mary's University in L.A., where he taught classes in screenwriting and playwriting and helped develop and launch the university's MFA in Screenwriting program. Writers who've worked with Drew have collectively written dozens of published novels, scores of paid screenplays, hundreds of hours of Emmy-award-winning TV, and studio movies that have grossed more than $100 Million worldwide. Drew Brody on IMDB   https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2027470/?ref_=ttfc_fc_crTheInfinitemonkeyProject.comhttps://www.instagram.com/infinitemonkey.mov/https://www.facebook.com/theinfinitemonkeyproject/

Gabby Gruen spent most of his professional life as a writer-producer inside the country's most prominent ad agencies. After twenty years of elevating the brands of some of our most prestigious advertisers, and with the help of a Screenwriting MFA from UCLA, Gabby started writing screenplays. His original scripts found homes inside a major motion picture studio and on assignment for several less prominent purveyors of the cinematic arts. With the recent publication of his first novel, “The Uniform,” a thriller that takes place during the Holocaust, Gabby has begun his fiction writing career. I've read The Uniform and can tell you it's an intense trip through a nasty piece of World War II as experienced by David Korda, a young doctor and Jewish labor camp prisoner, who's become an enslaved road crew worker destined for a death camp until he comes upon the body of a murdered Gestapo officer. David contrives to use the officer's bloodied uniform as a means of escape. I was riveted by this chilling page turner. If you like great reads, I highly recommend The Uniform to you.Gabby will soon publish his second book, The Ride of a Lifetime, a crime story set on the frozen streets of Detroit. If you are searching for Gabby's books on Amazon, please search for G Gruen.

"Now that I'm free of that relationship, who am I now? I needed to know this new version of myself. So I started doing things I've always been like, 'Huh, maybe I want to try this, maybe I want to do that.' I was like, 'Why don't I just give running a go?'
