Ep. 43 Katra Film Series listen HERE!

"To realize that maybe you have been skating on the surface of somebody’s art. And realizing you are missing so much that you need to stop and reinvest and take your ego out of the equation. Not like ego like this big monster but this little voice about you,  me me me,  and really engage with somebody else’s perspective and really just  let go of yourself  and to give yourself over to someone else’s story and hear what their perspective is about the world"

~ Isabel Ellison

Welcome back to Nothing Shines Like Dirt Episode 43. Elise and Lesley sit down with some of the finalists of the Katra Film Series taking place on February 6th in Brooklyn at the ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA.

Ep. 35 Geoffrey Guerrero Available HERE! 

“Have a good story, you know. I think it all comes down to the story and characters, three-dimensional characters. You don’t want to bore the audience. It is very easy to bore the audience. So just make sure you make a film that engages us, and don’t be afraid to tell a story that nobody’s told before.”

Welcome back to Nothing Shines Like Dirt Episode 35. Elise and Lesley sit down with Director/Producer/Writer Geoffrey Guerrero. They discuss the Katra Film Series that he founded, researching film festivals and his advice; “Make a feature before your 30.”
