She is passionate about creating dramatic "thrillers with heart" that are entertaining enough that the audience doesn't realize there was a message underneath it all until it's too late. Tracee's previous career as a horse trainer, and her work in animal rescue, has flavored much of her work and given her the tenacity to believe that anything is possible if you just work hard enough along with the humility to know that there is always more to learn. When not writing or working on set, Tracee works as a script consultant and a motivational speaker  for struggling writers.  Tracee grew up on her family farm in Napa Valley, California. She currently lives near Austin, TX  with a pack of rescued dogs and horses.      00:45:00Arts Talk1nofilm,filmmaking,filmmaker,Director,ProducerInterview with ilmmaker Tracee Beebe.69e08633-3bad-4007-ba38-4f5039a877c379fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/arts-talk-1/2018/09/09/162-christina-raia-and-kelsey-rauberEntertainmenthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/arts-talk-1/2018/09/09/162-christina-raia-and-kelsey-rauber/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/arts-talk-1/2018/09/09/162-christina-raia-and-kelsey-rauberSun, 09 Sep 2018 20:00:00 GMT#162 Christina Raia and Kelsey RauberChristina Raia is a New York City based Writer/Director, the Founder of CongestedCat Productions, and the Head of Education at Seed&Spark.

As a child, he got lost for hours in the stories he found there, in a dark room, set apart from the “real” world. As he grew, Michael began to see the movie theater as a place where traditions are subverted--where the status quo gets turned on its head. And this is where his writing sensibilities lie--in taking an established concept or idea and finding a way to turn it into something completely different. From slasher films where the “sexy” girls are the most competent ones to a rom-com where the meet cute takes place during casting for a snuff film, there’s no trope he’s unwilling to push to its limit.   From an early age he was a storyteller, crafting worlds that he and his friends would play in, but it wasn’t until much later that he even realized he could be the guy to create the movies he so loved. After years of pursuing music performance and production, Michael sat down to write his first script, which he eventually turned into a movie. Since then he’s written more than fifteen feature films (and produced four of them) as well as written and produced a series of shorts. Michael has had several feature scripts both place as finalists and win in festivals and has had multiple short films win awards at film festivals in recent years, including several that took top honors. 00:37:00Arts Talk1noscreenwriter,filmmaker,writer,independent,austinInterview with filmmaker Michael Charron.c9916cf9-f55f-4979-8725-efa1e58ba86f73fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/arts-talk-1/2018/07/29/157-mike-rutkoskiMovieshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/arts-talk-1/2018/07/29/157-mike-rutkoski/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/arts-talk-1/2018/07/29/157-mike-rutkoskiSun, 29 Jul 2018 20:00:00 GMT#157 Mike RutkoskiMike is an actor, writer, and producer and former student of the "Acting Studio," Chicago Second City, and "Aching Dogs Theater Company."

We fill the void for truly independent films in the city of Austin, focusing on story first, and we strive to bring unique and truly independent voices to the Texas capital. The Austin Revolution Film Fest’s independent spirit and attitude champion the indie filmmaker as the star, creating opportunities for press, networking and collaboration. Awards are given in 3 dozen categories across several genres, including features, shorts, web series, music videos as well as a screen writing competition for features and shorts. The prize? A very cool rodeo style belt buckle. The Austin Revolution Film Fest has gained a great reputation from filmmakers and fans alike.

Cameo had a long career in technology, working in voice over IP and computer security, and then studied artificial intelligence and neuroscience in university. She also opened up the first urban beekeeping store in America. Filmmaking has been her lifelong desire, and she is thrilled to have the chance to make movies. Real Artists, a dark tale set in the near future, is based on Ken Liu’s short story of the same name. Against all odds, Sophia Baker just scored her dream interview at the world-famous Semaphore Animation Studios -- who’d have thought a fan edit of one of their hit films could land her a shot at a job? But when she meets arch, mysterious executive Anne Palladon, she soon learns all is not as she expects behind the curtain. Every instinct Sophia has ever had about art in filmmaking is about to be challenged. Based on Nebula, Hugo and World Fantasy Award-winning author Ken Liu’s short story of the same name, Real Artists asks a poignant question: In a dystopian near-future where big data, AI and natural language processing learn and create quickly and at massive scale, what role can a single artist play? Is Sophia a creative rebel who can make a difference? Or is the situation more serious than that? 00:35:00Arts Talk1nofilm,filmmaking,filmmaker,short,narrativeCameo Wood is the DIRECTOR | WRITER | PRODUCER of Real Artists her first narrative film.
