Interview with Artemis Director/Founder Melanie Wise About the 5th Edition Film Festival

AGENDA | Aug. 25, 2018

Ooh la la, the excitement, the energy, the mix of creative, powerfully artistic human beings describes the fourth edition of Melanie Wise and Zac Baldwin’s brainchild – the Artemis Women In Action Film Festival! It was our first time there and AGENDA was honored to co-sponsor. We love niche, and this is one festival that focuses on a very specific one.

Agenda – Melanie, share some highlights of 2018 AWIAFF

Melanie Wise – Our last edition was the bomb! I was so incredibly pleased because we were able to honor our very first female director, Rosemary Rodriguez. Since our festival celebrates powerful women, it was really a great honor, and so very perfect, to finally be able to recognize a female director at a festival with a focus such as ours. And in all honesty, our whole team felt so grateful to be able to recognize our 2018 honorees (Michelle Rodriguez, Ming-Na Wen, Rosemary Rodriguez, TJ Scott, Dana DeLorenzo, and stunt performers Debbie Evan, Alicia Vela-Bailey, Danielle Burgio, Heidi Pascoe, Kachina Dechert and Cassandra Ebner). Each of them were so deserving and some of them have never been publicly recognized for their contributions to female action and empowerment heroes onscreen.

Filmmakers with Strong Women Characters Wanted for the Artemis Women In Action Film Festival 2019

Is there really only one way to invite filmmakers to submit their love, sweat, and tears of a movie to the appropriate film festival? Many filmmakers have just randomly selected movie competitions without much insight as to whether or not their film will even make it to official selections. Some filmmakers weigh their chances of nomination with what has screened in past festivals, therefore narrowing down their entry choices. Let’s face it, those entry fees add up, so you’d better pick carefully.

Women at Warp Episode S14: Chatting with Chase

Sue recently had the pleasure of chatting with Deep Space Nine’s Chase Masterson. We talk about the 25th Anniversary of DS9, and the impact that the characters and the show have had, as well as the recent Star Trek Online expansion, Victory in Life, in which Chase returns to the role of Leeta. And then we go on to talk about Chase’s charity work and her organization, the Pop Culture Hero Coalition, and what we can all do to end bullying. As well as bullying in general, and within fan culture. This also ties into our next full episode of Women at Warp, in which the crew will be taking a look at toxic fan culture, and what can be done about it.

Content Warning: We discuss specific incidents of bullying and harassment.

In our conversation, we explore what one-time barmaid — and now wife of Grand Nagus Rom — is up to in the nearly two decades since Star Trek: Deep Space Nine concluded its on-screen adventure, as well as touch on several other topics close to the actor’s heart. (Read more…)

NAMM FOUNDATION 2018: JAZZ GREAT BUNNY BRUNEL ON GROWING UP IN FRANCE AND HIS MUSICAL INFLUENCES

Talking Up Music Education is a podcast from The NAMM Foundation that shares news and stories about music education. Episode 45 includes an interview with bass guitarist Bunny Brunel. The podcast was one of many recorded and broadcast live from The 2018 NAMM Show; other interviews include Hunter Hayes, OK Go, Vanessa Carlton and more.

“Just keep practicing and focusing on what you want to achieve,” said Brunel. “Do not listen to anybody. It’s your life. If you listen to somebody else…it’s not going to happen.”

Brunel’s musical journey was anything but a straight line to playing alongside jazz legends Chick Correa, Herbie Hancock, and Wayne Shorter. In this episode the two-time Grammy-nominated bass player shared his journey from teaching himself to play piano as a child in France, to attending École Hoteliere de Nice for hospitality, and to becoming an advanced student of the upright bass at the Conservatory in Nice.
