The Della Reese interview was interesting. Ms. Reese is a straight shot of whiskey. Straight no chaser.

Enjoy your show very much. The only one that I didn't care for was the Preston WHitmore. It seems like he didn't shed much light on the business. Everything went back to him, without really explaining himself. But overall, I love the show.

    'CASTING INDIE' ON "INSIDE URBAN HOLLYWOOD"

    Casting Directors Twinkie Byrd and Pamela Staton Join BlogTalkRadio Host Tanya Kersey
    on "Inside Urban Hollywood" on Monday, April 14, 2008, at 8pm PST/11pm EST

    Just because your film isn’t a big budget or studio film doesn't mean you can't get name talent cast in your project.  Due to the increasing pressure to have name talent in a film in order to get it into the distribution pipeline, attaching a seasoned, well-connected casting director to help cast an indie project has in recent years become a creative and strategic force in an independent filmmaker's success.  Not only can talent determine whether or not you get financing for the film, for the low-budget independent film, it may mean the difference between development hell and a green light.

    Casting Directors Twinkie Byrd ("Notorious," "Stomp the Yard") and Pamela Staton ("All About You," "Traci Townsend") will appear on BlogTalkRadio’s show "Inside Urban Hollywood" (http://blogtalkradio.com/insideurbanhollywood) with host Tanya Kersey on Monday, April 14, 2008, at 8pm PST/11pm EST.  Byrd and Staton will talk about how indie filmmakers can get well-known talent cast in their independent film projects. They will also discuss how actors can jumpstart their careers by acting in indie films. Callers are welcome to join the conversation during the show by calling  (646) 200-3290. The live, Internet talk-radio show will stream from the host page at http://blogtalkradio.com/InsideUrbanHollywood.

    Twinkie Byrd has been casting for 20 years. She has cast many high-profile music videos and has worked with artists such as Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Wyclef Jean, Avril Lavine, N'Sync, Christina Aguilera, Brittany Spears, Black Eyed Peas, P. Diddy, J. Lo, 50 Cent, OUTKAST , DMX, P.O.D. and Eve. Many of the directors she's worked with in the music video world have moved onto film. They include David LaChappelle, Brett Ratner , Spike Jonze, Tim Story, Marcus Raboy, Forest Whitaker & Dave Meyers just to name a few. Her Commercial clients include Reebok, Barbie, PEPSI, TGI Fridays MTV, VH1, Home Depot and Dodge Chrysler. Byrd's feature casting credits include the number one hit "Stomp The Yard," "King's Ransom" and "Three Can Play That Game". She is currently casting Fox Searchlight's "Notorious," about the life of Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace.

    As the president of Pamela Staton Casting, Staton sees her vision for diversity in casting fulfilled as she strives to create many acting opportunities and expand the scope of working actors. As a result of her dedication to excellence and keen eye for talent, she has completed 18 Independent Films, 14 of which received distribution, 11 garnered "Best Film" honors from prestigious film festivals, 7 film shorts, 2 documentaries and a few Stage Plays.  Some of the more popular titles are “"All About You," "Restraining Order," "Traci Townsend," "Playaz Court," named an urban classic by Variety, "The Disciple," "Sister’s Keeper," and most recently "Street Boss."

    Some of the talented actors Staton has cast in film projects include: Morgan Freeman, Robin Givens, Eric Roberts, Jeff Fahey, Michael Madsen, William Forsythe, Chris Tucker, D.L. Hughley, Chris Spencer, Gary Anthony Williams, Keith David, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Jay Acovone, Richard T. Jones, Taraji Henson, Raven Goodwin, Debbie Allen, Boris Kodjoe and Ruby Dee. She approaches client's wish lists with determination and often delivers greater than the budget dictates. She has a track record for recognizing new and emerging talent.  She considers Craig Ross, Jr., Christine Swanson, Marc Cayse, Reggie Gaskins, J.D. Cochran, Greg Morgan, Tracie Dean Ponder, Karen Hayes, Robert Hyatt, Bo Svenson, Rodney Charles, Kent Faulcon, Brian Crewe, Michael Hoffman, Jr, Connie Robinson, Lance Kawas, Christopher Marlon and Greg Carter "ones to watch."

    "Making the Fest Of It" with Hollywood Black Film Festival Programmer, Jacqueline Blaylock

    HBFF programming director Jacqueline Blaylock has spent the better part of the last few months watching hundreds of films, only a fraction of which will earn a coveted spot at HBFF 2008 (June 3-8 in Beverly Hills, CA). In this exclusive interview Blaylock will talk about "Making the Fest Of It" -- the process of & strategy to submitting your film to screen at a film festival; and what strategies the filmmaker, once selected, can use to reap the most benefits from their festival experience.

    "Inside Urban Hollywood" is Finally Launching!!!

    I'm so excited to finally launch "Inside Urban Hollywood."  This concept has been a long time in the making.  First developed as an online entertainment newsmagazine talk show, then shot as a TV pilot, and now an internet radio. Like they say, it doesn't matter how you get there ... we're here!

    The guest at our first show is my friend and colleague, Jacqueline ("Jacqui") Blaylock, who as many of you know is the programming director at the Hollywood Black Film Festival, which I founded and run.

    In the last year I've been on a number of panels about film festival strategies. It's clear that there isn't one simple plan that will work for every film. But in order to have a positive experience on the festival circuit, filmmakers should do some serious thinking about what it is they want to get out of the experience beyond getting into a festival and selling their film. Jacqui will be with us to talk about "Making the Fest Of It" --  the process of and strategy to submitting your film to screen at a film festival; and what strategies the filmmaker, once selected, can use to reap the most benefits from their festival experience.


    Some of the questions I will ask her are:


    • In general, what are the major elements that make up a good film?  What do you look for in a film?   What makes a film stand out to you? So many films are submitted to the festival, how do you decide what to select? What can a filmmaker do to get your attention? How big a role does the format a film is shot on have in your programming decision? Is it true that shorter short films have a better chance of getting into a festival, and why? Is a press kit a valuable tool when submitting to festivals?  Why? What are some of the biggest mistake filmmakers make when submitting a film to a festival?

    If you have a burning question you'd like to pose to Jacqui, post it here.  Better yet, call-in on the show at (646) 200-3290 and ask her yourself.

    Have a great weekend and I hope you'll join our launch show this coming Monday, April 7 at 9pm PST/midnight EST.

    Be blessed!
