Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hey, there's Brian Sebastian movie reviews more and if it's Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
First of all, we always have to give to the arts.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
The arts are very, very important, whether it's the museums, authors,
film festivals, you name it, the toy industry, the fashion industry.
Everything's being hit unfortunately, and obviously we're streaming on Talk
for TV, KFOHD Radio Talk for Media and streaming on
over one hat one hundred outlets right now around the world.
I'm getting a lot of Texas on things. People are
(01:33):
still wishing happy Birthday, which is done. That was like
last week to me, which is interesting. But the good
thing about this is this is a special show. Because
I did not book a show for One's Carol. I
skipped over the thirtieth in the calendar date, which is strange.
It never happens. So we had like an open schedule
and you said, I have someone for you. Carol's going
(01:54):
to talk about who that was. And then my friend
Roz Wolfrom who helps run the Jewish festival in Beverly Hill, says,
I have someone.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Can we get him on.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm like, no, we can't, but then again we can
because we had time. So the good thing about this
is Greg, it was perfect timing for you, perfect timing
for Danny. And Terry's on the run, Chikata get here,
Rachel Roberts, she's stuck doing something in Houston, Texas, Tasha's
in the studio, Howard's dancing tonight, Linda's training somebody, and
who's the other one? Victoria is singing. So the whole
(02:24):
thing about this, this is gonna be special because we
never have four people, never Carol and River there's that,
So this is a good thing.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So you guys get to have more time.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
So this is one hundred and seventy two shows, live
shows in a row, which our streak is still going,
and this will be fun. And so I'm gonna let
Carol introduce Danny. But first of all, Greg doesn't know
this we met throughout the years. I remember going to
you know, the American Film for Market, which is one
of the best, you know markets in the world, throughout
the day saying I walked in and said, what I
(02:55):
could have watched all these movies because I'm a movie hore.
When I see photos of Eric robertson everybody out there,
I'm like, you know, stuff that's not even been in production,
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And I was in home video then in the early
nineties and then so he's been in film festivals. He's
worked for Disney, Warner Brothers and a couple other people,
and I know have dealt with him because Greg doesn't.
I don't think he knows that. I used to be
in a radio round table junket sye with that. And
then I got to thank the Nadine Jolson for that
because we just met. So she's tooking us up with
(03:25):
another client where we don't have room for but we
will make room for them, because Carol knows we never
have room. So the good thing about this, when you're
that former head of communications with the American Film Market,
it can't go wrong because it's always about finding those films,
whether pre production or in production and then when you've
done it, helly, we do and that's the good thing
about it. But the also thing, you know, I like
(03:48):
this when you're that festival director for the artist for
film Festival Los Candles.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And Real dasan Arrow, Danny, Greg, that says something.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But he's also that journalist, so he's a guy who's
done a lot of great things. He's also, which is
important for a lot of people, also been that Hollywood
reporter because you can't go wrong with that. And Greg,
you get to introduce and say your last name correctly
for the audience so that I don't screw it up.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, Greg.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Bright, my name is Greg and the last name is Atassa.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And I need that. I was only kidding.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So now I'm going to turn it over to Carol
because she's going to introduce Danny. We never do this,
We never know what we're going to do. It's always
improp Go ahead, Carol.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
It's so true.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Danny.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I'm so glad you're here. Before I introduce you, I
just want to mention it is giving Back Tuesday. I
want to shout out easy Way because Danny is also
a part of the easy Way network and being on
the board a better vision for children. This is something
that's very important being a part of this family and
(04:52):
dream Weaver art supporting artists is extremely important. And whatever
your favorite way to give back is, I just invite
you to jump in, take part and give back Tuesday
and be a part of what's going on with your generosity,
because that brings in even more for you.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Duddy.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I'm so excited you're here. It was so wonderful to
meet you at Info List pre Emmy's event at Skybar
in you know, on the Sunset Strip, I'll say, and
you were stunning. You were standing there in this gold
La made dress and I was like, what just happened?
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Where did she come from? And I knew I had
to meet you immediately and it was wonderful. So I'm
so glad that you're here. I know that you are
a media personality, an entrepreneur, and an advocate for the
immigrant community with Brazilian Americans, maybe even the bigger immigrant community.
(06:02):
I'm really excited to hear about your Somba dance show.
I love Somba and uh it's a oh yeah Brazil
somber show. Yes, Yes, how long did you do that?
Di i'ven and share about that. I'd love to hear more.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Thank you first of all, thanks for having me open
the show, Brian, Carol and nice meet to Greg. It's
a pleasure me. I'm around the film festivals in it
for a long time. I love film industry. It's my passion.
Besides the dancing, right, all kinds of arts, and I have.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Been a dancer for over many many years. But I
won't say that is because my it is going to
be a stream now.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
But yeah, so this little girl has been dancing, ballet,
jet everything.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
But when arriving in America twenty six years ago, I
can do the math. Now now it's just kidding.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
And then I commun to come to I say, you
know what everybody's doing, ballet, jazz, hip hop, everything. So
I want to bring my culture over here. I want
to show the best of my culture. Now the Brazilian,
the carravalok. It's so happy, you bring happy, bring people,
you feel good. And now it's the drumming the colors,
(07:25):
and then it's the best I can do it, you know,
and to show my culture and some by presents Brazil
and Samba over in Los Angeles and then for a while,
and then I also abroad so into all kinds of
places with my company. So I was really really fortunate
to have this opportunity to show my culture in no
(07:48):
only he Reuss, but all over the place, and then
to grow from there and oh yeah, Brazil, some a show.
It is my passion because I'm a passionate dancer. I'm
a personal artist, and that made had made made possible
to meet an easy way easy you know, and another
(08:09):
a lot of another people that are so wonderful and
helped me so much to treaven my path over here
in Los Angeles. So oh yeah, Brazil, and my show
is my first daniel aka Daniello Brazil. It is me
like you years ago, but now I'm here, the new one,
the new don Donny Kelly. I was the podcast, the studio,
(08:32):
you know, having podcasts and talking to people like you guys,
and I'm so wondered, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I know you were known as Danielle Brazil with this
like you were just mentioning, and you were in Hong
Kong and Singapore and Asia all over the world doing
as well as Los Angeles and the Greater area. So
it's it's really interesting, you know, what your experiences were
(08:58):
in this and the also you mentioned in Nearbio the
celebrities that you connected with as a media personality, and
I thought that was really wonderful because it.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
For me to come from Brazil and be able to
Okay wing you in Brazil, your little girl watching all
those movies, America movies and all the lifestyle.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
It's just dream about it.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
And I never thought I would have come to Los
Angeles and I never thought I was coming to hollywoods
So for me, it was a very distance far dream
to watch Michael Jackson, Madonna. I know, all the music
videos and the movies Back to the Future, and I'm like, yeah,
this is like so far. And then suddenly I arrived
here and it starts to meet all the celebrities. I
(09:44):
was part of awards now Nikolodeo Awards and also and
now I will come in my mind, but all tons
of awards and film fashion blow so walk with the
red carpets like Bedly he was film fashionbow.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
I don't like no Nino, And then you know I've
being part of this.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
You know, this environment for me was I kept dreaming
coming true and it's being a bit dreaming coming through
if I work hard, because it's nothing comes easy, right.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
The fun thing about that, Greg, is when you work
hard and you've done a lot of stuff, you know
any you know, I don't think the audience will know this,
anybody from around the world, because we have a big
audience outside the US too, Hollywood Film Festival, Hollywood Parks
Film Festival, Hollywood Reporter, and you, being a journalist, you
one of the few that have done everything. When you
(10:34):
put that into that, because worlds, movies, fitness, fashion, everything
goes into this. I said in twenty fourteen when I
was running helping run the Hollywood Film Festival, that film
festivals are dead. They are, but I have hope for
yours because I just saw a becoming Vera, which I
thought was a great opening night film, which is coming.
So for the audience out there October six to twelfth,
(10:57):
Greg's gonna talk about this film festival, but a little
bit about us back because you've been picking movies for
a long time and you know what it's like to
run a film festival, and it's gotten not gotten easier.
So now when it comes to the podcast world, we're
not doing junkets anymore. I just did three interviews today
with Guy Pierce do Wanda why so she was in
on Jurassic Park for their killing Faith and we're going
(11:18):
to show a trailer at them in a little bit.
But the entertainment world is different, the media world is different.
Everything is different, and everything is still connected, but a
lot tighter. Talk about why you started this and also
you know the Downtown Film Festival, which was one great
that you did, and I didn't know that you did,
the Real Desian Arrow one.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Tell us about all of that. Get great?
Speaker 9 (11:39):
Yeah, yeah, Well, the origin story of this film begins
in two thousand when a group of film activists on
that part of Los Angeles, which was been called the
East Side and later that borders moved east of that,
but it was civil likely Felis at the park community.
(12:02):
We wanted to get a film festival that reflected our
community and showcase independent film. All the other film festivals
were based on the West Side. So Silvil Like Film
Festival began as a community event in the two thousand
and by two thousand and five were full fledged film
festival seven days. By two thousand and seven, we had
(12:25):
grown so big that we grew out of our two
screening venues which were historic Visita Theater that was Felis Theater.
So we decided to rebrand ourselves and move downtown and
rename ourselves to Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival, kind of
following where the independent film community themselves were removing as
they were priced out of silver Lake and Los Filas
(12:45):
and Echo Park. But that nonprofit organization behind silver Light
and DTLA the same one behind her film New Film.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You know, talk about your background of writing. Also, writing
is a lost art. There's not a lot of people
reading books, which is kind of sad. I missed the
days when I would read you know, a variety Hollywood
you know Hollywood Report when they would go neck and neck,
and then I would read my USA Today. So I
was you know, people spend seven dollars on a coffee
at Starbucks. I was spending seven dollars a day reading
(13:18):
Monday through Friday. And I would say it because I
wanted to read everything in it, because it was important.
Speaker 10 (13:24):
Well, you know, that was the day when there were
two main daily newspapers covering exsively the entertainment inst and
they were fierce competitors.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
So every day I would get to look at what my.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Competitor stories were and which ones I missed and which
ones I got.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
So it was it was a kind of experience in situation.
Speaker 10 (13:48):
That just doesn't exist anymore, that kind of head competition
with another daily newspaper. But it was great training for
becoming what I eventually did was the Hollywood publicist. I
worked as the kind of home video in JVPR.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
For New Line.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
I was in West Coast director Grammercy, which was a.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
They had some great films. I remember going to the office.
All that stuff was great. And for those people who
don't realize this what Greg is starting to talk about,
this is where a lot of independent films came out
of which were really really great.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And I came out of the home video business.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So I did a lot of those things for like Newline,
Newline as part of you know, Warner Brothers. Underneath Warner
Brothers is like right now, but when it comes down
to Austin Powers, uh, you know Freddy Freddy Krueger that
was part of Newline, Newline Centema.
Speaker 10 (14:39):
All of those Yeah, no one why to touch that
because they thought it was too expensive and they would
never earn their money back. Of course, it just made
New Line a fortune, and then I went on to
from Grammercy, which was a joint venture between PolyGram and
Universal that's probably best name probably for four Weddings in
their funeral didn't break out of it, to Disney, and
(15:03):
then I went to the American Film Marketing to where
imit Bryant.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So, Danny, I know you've heard about a lot of
these things because you know, you know, as he's talking
about four weddings and a funeral, this is when we
did a lot of in person junkets and stuff like that.
So I think when Penelope Cruz came over, Samahia came over,
a lot of that great talent. I was reminding Guy Pearce,
you know when the Australians came over him, Russell Crowe,
(15:26):
Nicole Kidman coming over, that pack of Australians in the
early nineties. That talent was there. And then you have
South America all of that stuff coming in there too.
And again, I mean, I love my Brazilian friends, my
Portuguese friends, my Columbian friends, and they do listen to
this show around the world because they chat with us
all the time on What's Chat.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So I really really like that.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You know, Anny, what made you want to come over
because you started to talk about that a little bit
and you are in a film work a little bit too.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Yeah, well make me come over? Was the boosolite you have.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
In America in all kind of industry, not just see
in film, but everything.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
I was like earlier today on the podcast that uh,
we have.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
American culture all over the place, all over the world,
all over the globe. So it's a lot of marketing
a lot about American culture everywhere.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
So we grow up.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
If you're in the country, you grow up watching how
you go to school, to college. You know what's movies,
how is your breakfast, your daily lives? And so we
are in your country, you're watching your culture. What's gonna happen?
You wanted to go to America? You want to go
to see Mickey Mouse, you wanted to go to Holland
(16:41):
was just start you know, check check it out, and
it's okay, not only myself, but everyone wants to be here.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
So the way the.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Moves are portraying makes us want they needed to.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Come to America. And also because of the American.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Dream, like we grow up with watching movies and the
news talking about how consolidated is America. That still makes us,
you know, like I wanted there. I wanted to achieve
the American dream. So it's not an oscillating case.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
It's everyone, I imagine.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
The whole world wants to be here, so and for me,
particularly because I was a dancer since I was four
years old, so I wanted to see what could achieve
with my dance, you know, what I had to learn
and then to share also my experience as a Brazilian
over here. So that's what it's like to be a
(17:38):
Brazilian in America.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Yes, I think she's leaning into, you know, your advocacy
with the immigrant community. It's not so important. I've been
living in Chile for the past twelve years and so
I understand what it's like to be an immigrant. But
I also really understand stand exactly what you're talking about
(18:03):
with the media, the music, the movies. Coachella is in
Santiago every year. You know, it's a big deal to
be able to come and have this experience, like you
were saying, But then arriving and being here is a
whole different story, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
It is a challenge because you have to overcome your
your what you have already right your traditions and to
learn a new world, to learn everything new again, even
though yourself you have to leave that old self on
the side, not not not to change, but you have
to now put a new culture, new language, and now
(18:48):
the new system is is a is a big process
to beamyglands.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
It's not easy to beguins. And I tell all my
American friends to be uh to understand. No, I know
you're not a.
Speaker 11 (19:01):
Missue, but to understand you actually you have a love,
you have a goal, you have a dream. But even
though you're here, it's not being easy for all immigrants
to be over here. And most of them are going
to love this country and the owner, and they value
so much to be over here.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
So I understand the laws. I understand what's happening, you know,
I totally understand. But also I understand that we are
a mix of so many diversity over here, and what
does mix the bid of America?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Hey, Greg, I'm going to show a clip which is
not one of yours yet. I gotta show Killing you know,
Killing Faith, because it's coming out before year festival. Let's
take a look at this really quickly.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
No, that little girl of yours, you know, you're not
supposed to being down with her. She needs help.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Well, i'll see doc Steve Benner comes to take a
look at her. Tell me, would like to be a
doctor who can't shave live. I'll let you know next
time you find yourself.
Speaker 12 (20:24):
Sick, I need to get her to preach your boss.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
You're going to save her.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Some preacher hopaus pocus ain't gonna make a damnite difference.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
You don't believe in the devil, doctor tall tales and fictions.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Excuse us, we're looking for some water. Well, now that's
something we have planning up. Why would they be after her?
This child Gary's in her? All that is wicked. We're
gonna call he took her.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
He took her.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
I fell release her through the righteous part of these hands.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
No, I understand trying all you can to say what's yours?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
There ain't no running from it.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
His head.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
There is such evil things worked, one particularly one for evil.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
What if you're wrong?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Now that's not one of Greg's. But I had to
show that first. But you know the thing about that is,
you know it's good to talk to guy pere. So
that didn't talked to him a long time for the
audience who was in l a confidential for that movie.
If anybody remembers that Warner Brothers, Greg, I know you
remember that with Russell Crow, the Australians coming and playing
the Americans.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Uh about all of that stuff?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Is this film is out through shouts, you know, Factory Shout, Studio,
Radiant Entertainment. It's a really good felt in the wander
Wise this is a woman to watch, she's really really good.
And the Little Girl this is her debut, Emily Ford beautiful.
This film scared me because it's got suspen and fear
and during those into Western Hey. Greg, let's talk about
what's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
When you get into film festivals, it's not easy to
do any of these things.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Well?
Speaker 10 (22:19):
No, you know, I mean it's it's always hard to
run a nonprofit, yeah, and it's always hard to fundraise.
Speaker 12 (22:26):
It's even your harder when your brand is new. So
even though we've been around produce successfully film festivals for
the last twenty five years and including Artists Film Festival,
which was the one out of Brazil, Brian that you mentioned.
It was the documentary film festival focused on activism.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
So we've been doing this twenty five years.
Speaker 10 (22:47):
But it's a brand new name, so we have to
introduce people to the new name of the film festival.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
And franquently to Hollywood Park.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
It's everyone's been probably over Hollywood Park as they came
into lax Is, three miles east of lax five miles.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
From the beach.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
They may even recognize Sofi Stadium, that new architectural landmark,
the biggest football stadium in the country, which will be
the site of the opening day ceremonies for the Summer
Olympics when they returned to.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
But a lot of people and a lot of people.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Probably remember a relative going to Hollywood Park, the racetrack,
right the thorough track which was built. It was established
in nineteen thirty seven and called Hollywood Park, not because
of its location because it's miles away from the geographic
community of Hollywood, but because Hollywood moguls and ale stars
(23:41):
of the Golden era actually financed that. We think we're
coming full circle now with Hollywood Park and finally bringing
back Hollywood to Hollywood Park.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Hey, Greg, I'm going to see if we could take
a look at this trailer becoming Vera in a minute,
which is really really good and then Terry just jumped
down by Carol.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Tell everybody who you.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Are, Carol Register. I am a neurocoach, so I created
the neurowealth method, which is a combination of universal wealth
laws with neuroscience principles. I specialize in taking women who
are at six figures to seven seven plus figures. I
also work with those who are wealthy and miserable. Anybody
(24:22):
ever met somebody like that? Because wealth magnifies, money magnifies
who we are, so the money doesn't solve the issues.
We get to go deeper and do that so we
can live with fulfillment, have our cake and eat it too.
I also run retreats down at my place in southern
(24:44):
Dela complete nervous system and wealth resets. And in addition
to that, I have a podcast called Unleashed and Impossible
Unstoppable sorry by words Unleashed and Unstoppable, and we're in
our third year. We've got over one hundred and eighty
episodes completely free. We talk all about the neuroscience of leadership,
(25:10):
health and wealth. So I'm glad to be here with.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
You, all right, Terry.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Before we get to you, we're gonna show this trailer
alvera first and I'll get back to Terry.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
You're an amazing business in Latin jazz.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
That's like the most difficult music ever.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
Okay, did you get paid?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Not yet.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
We need to figure something out for food that you're
prepared anything kind of.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
I don't have a panel, but.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's all right.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Your hands are shaking.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Do you get nervous when you're play in front of people?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
If you do, you can't be a pen.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
I can make this work. Well, another little girl with
a big dream. Everywhere people say that everybody has some gift.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
That's life, because.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Having a gift is the rarest thing there is. Vera Fernandez.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Wow, Hey, Greg, talk about this film. I know what
it's like to pick films for a film festival. It's
not easy, and a lot of good films aren't always
picked in but people don't always understand why. Talk about
why Becoming Vera is an opening night, which is an
excellent film. The music Brian, Yeah, hey Greg, we just
(26:54):
lost your voiceeah, Greg.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
You have a Portuguese song with the resident.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I don't know, Hey Greg, we lost your volume somehow.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Yeah, there's just a song on REMI from that trailer.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Greg, come up on me.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Greg, you're on Mike Mike A Mic is mute, Mike
is mute.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
There we go. So that's off, all right, Greg, you're
on me. Well Greg's figuring out.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I got it.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
Sorry, I'm becoming. So I was saying this was the
unanimous choice of our program. Part of it is it's
a classic storyline. So it is the story of a
young person with amazing artistic talent who has one chance
to pursue her dream or and if she fails, she goes.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Back to her life in the working class.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
We've seen this story over and over again recently in
uh film like Cooda back in the nineties, Flash Dance.
So it's that tension of Okay, here's the one big
chance and is going to make it more You're going
to break it. Beyond that, it's just a wonderfully diverse cast,
and our whole film festival and the nonprofit organization behind
(28:17):
it is about promoting diversity in cinema and doing it
in the film capital.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Of the world. So it ticked all those boxes. And
I can't wait for everybody to see.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
It and talk about opening night and where people can
get tickets from too.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yeah, so you can just google Hollywood Park Film Festival
or Film Festival at Hollywood Park, and our website will
come up and you can buy tickets directly online or
you can come to the theater itself. Opening night is
October seventh at seven thirty pm. Again, Hollywood Park itself
is three miles east.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Of lax In.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
Yeah, kind of on West Century Boulevard and Prayer kind
of that quarter. And we'd love for everyone to come
down and see Becoming Vera in the more than one
hundred other films we're screening over seven days.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
And why that's struggle. Terry tell us you walk ahead.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Hi.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
I'm Terry Murray and I've been with Brian since Todas

A lot for Brazilians, right, we have this kind of
it's not bad, but like instead of type of Brazilians
hot girls, you know, beautiful body and you have to
carry the zone over and over and uh yeah, we
love to care aboudies like you carries, you love to
work out, to dance to good I believe you have
(30:38):
this happy, positive attitude about life. Most of Brazilians I
know and well learn that in Brazil because of dancing,
the music, the food makes all the it's so colorful,
and that's the carnival. So it's funny because people say,
oh Brazil and they get this like carnival, soccer right
(31:03):
and the Amazon, But we are more all more than today.
We can see that even though we have a christ
time is right now with our president and my president.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
I don't know if you guys.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Are about that, but Brazilians are very conscious, boy conscious

Hey, Greg, talk about your clothing night. It's clin Eastwood,
isn't it?
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:51):
This is a rare fine.
Speaker 10 (34:53):
So this is a very intimate portrait of clein Eastwood
and living legend in cinema month by a friend of
his who also happened to be.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
A documentary film director.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
And so we get to see Clenty's for for almost
two hours film at his ranch in Carmel and he
talks about his career, what motivated him, the high points
of low points. This film has only been screened once before,
about twenty five years ago, so we're bringing it back
to LA audiences and so this will be actually the
(35:26):
first film festival screening ever. We're calling it a film
Festival premiere. It's just a wonderful film.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Carol, that that entices you to go.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Very much. So yes, if I didn't have anything else
on my plate, I'd jump on a jet and be
there in the moment.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Well, Ryan's just three miles from the That's right.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
It's so close to lax.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Well, you know.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
And the strange thing about that is that she was
just here, so she's not kidding. Yeah, And Danny, I'm
definitely going to go to that because I want to
check it out because you had that Brazilian so and
that food.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
You know.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Yeah, yeah, I hope everybody's car I Caro, who won't
be here next time?
Speaker 8 (36:10):
We Greg please must write and tarry you.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
Guys must sounds like fun.
Speaker 8 (36:17):
Yeah, and Greig please come in openmote.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
The film Festival is gonna be on Sunday, so you
know it's promote and tell it by the open mind
to come to the Hollis Park next day in the
sixth good opportunity to let me know more to share.
Speaker 10 (36:33):
But you know, Brazilian cinema really is having a moment. Yeah,
it's it's one major one Oscar one Berlin. It recently
won a major ward, the Secret Agent at Care. It's
really on fire.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
You know, I was gonna ask you about world cinema.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Why that's an important because it is important and most
film festivals around the world too.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Yeah. So this year we have two foreign film series.
Speaker 10 (36:58):
One is our Latin X Films we're defining that is
Latin American filmmakers, not not American filmmakers of Latin or
Hispanic ascent, but Latin American filmmakers including Brazil.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
And then we also.
Speaker 10 (37:12):
Have a film series on Mina Middle Eastern North African filmmakers.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Big Gray, can you talk about the world of traditional
media has changed? It's about podcasting and now and it's
also about YouTubers now when YouTube overtakes networks, what does
that say to you as a former executive from people
who work for Disney and Waltis and uh and and
Warner Brothers.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Well, it's just amazing quickly. Thinks have changed over the
past few decades. You know, it's it really is a
different world.
Speaker 10 (37:45):
Although it's a very basis of of media. I think
the elements remain the same, you know, the power of
it's just the form of how to how to persuade
someone has changed, you know, for more legacy gatekeepers, two
more participatory news media, don't you think.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Yeah, it's much more open than it used to be.
And that's nice because that's brought in a lot of
elements that maybe would have been screened out before. You know,
if they were screened out. Now you can take action
and you can bring it to the forefront or on
your own and so I like that.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Actually, yeah, citizen journalism.
Speaker 10 (38:28):
And you know, and I always think that if Thomas Payne,
the Revolutionary War hero, were alive today, he'd be an
influencer a social media platform. He was a pamphleteer during
the Luary War and that was the equivalent back then.
And I think, you know, it's it's there's the downside too,
(38:49):
because without gatekeepers, a lot of stuff goes through that perhaps.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Shouldn't be published. But on the other hand, you know,
citizen journalism is really inspiring.
Speaker 6 (38:59):
Well, well, I think is about titien journalism is that
you can see so many different sides where the media
is going to control you a little bit more where
there's that right now, there's not that control there, which
I like because I think we should be able to
see all different angles and all different perspectives from different lenses.
Which that's what I really enjoy about. Uh, you know,
(39:19):
titis and journalism, as you said.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Right right, agreed here, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Hey, Greg, talk about this, followed by Danny American film
market that's changed. When all the dates of film festivals
are changing and losing five thousand screens. That's not good
for films in general. It's not good for museums and
music and lack of people reading books and even go
into the library. Talk about why publicity is good. But
(39:46):
also a lot of celebrities now you know, they are
holding back. A lot of them didn't want to talk
to traditional media, so now they can just talk about
social media on their own with their own elements.
Speaker 10 (39:58):
We your celebrities actually don't need the media any they
can talk directly to and so right and so increasingly,
you know, it's it's the increasingly the currency for celebrity artists,
actors and musicians is their followers.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Right, that's the currency.
Speaker 10 (40:20):
So they're defined by how many people are following them
on social media, and that's that's a whole new wrinkle.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
It's interesting. It's affecting everybody. I mean, it's affecting lawyers
and doctors. What are your reviews, what are your how
many followers do you have? You know, I mean, super interesting.
But the I think for me, based on what I'm
seeing is media is still very necessary, very important part
(40:49):
of what's happening because here you are out there directing
film festivals, and film festivals need coverage, and they need
traditional red carpets, they need traditional media coverage and interviews.
And there's still that element that we all like of
that we love seeing that. But it's just now instead
(41:11):
of flowing on the network news like it used to be,
it's flowing through our feeds, you know, and through reels.
But it's different. But I still think it's very important.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Absolutely big Greg.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
One of the other things I was talking about Carol
was just hitting on this. I was just coming back
from National Film Festival, where I don't like it when
I'm the only one on the red carpet and there's
one camera. I started noticing that when we were doing
Hollywood Film Festival in twenty fourteenth, we didn't have the
budget to have Getty come out or anything like that,
and then so people started taking, you know, photos off
(41:49):
of the cameras, which you see a lot of people
doing now when they don't have press. Well, you know,
what do you hope you guys do different when it
comes to Hollywood Park Film Festival.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (41:58):
Well, firstly, we have a great publicis Nadine Jellison, So
she is driving the effort to get legacy media coverage print, TV.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Radio as well as social media.
Speaker 10 (42:11):
But we have a very large social media team made
up of really bright college students who understand social media
much better than I do. And so we've turned out
lots of content over the last six months to create
a buzz about the film fess and so now we're
upon us. That team then actually comes to the event
(42:35):
itself and does more social media, put live events and
live interviews and so on. So we're excited about the
power of social media when it comes to a new
event like ourselves.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
So Caro, we have to thank somebody. She just reached
a million views. So she's doing movie with views and
more as a million view club. Our friend Terry Marie.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Talk about that clips because that's an important thing because
now other people want to join that club, Hunt Carol.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (43:05):
Well thanks, well it was that, you know, thanks to Hew.
Speaker 13 (43:10):
There's gifting suites, you know, and being on the red
carpet and interviewing celebrity. It's giving me opportunity to show
my talents. And yeah, we hit a million views on
my interview today, so that was That's that's exciting. That
was my first million view video, Brian so and it
was great how to interview Spia And I'm looking forward
(43:31):
to my next million view video, which would happen soon
here hopefully.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
That's funny, then that could happen. That's got to get
Jimmy to put it up in Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
Yeah, very very congratulations. That's huge.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Danny, we got a couple of minutes Las talk about
your podcast. Who do you have on it, how do
you get on it? And what makes you relevant?
Speaker 7 (43:52):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (43:52):
Nice, love, I love the question. That's amazing my podcast.
Speaker 7 (43:59):
It's first of all, when I started to talk about immigration,
how to survive in America and begin immigrant to Brazilians.
So on the first year, I had all Brazilians talk
about how they came to America, all the troubles or
know how they succeed and what they do, what they did.
Speaker 8 (44:19):
To UH to overcome the challenge.
Speaker 7 (44:23):
And then it was based to help all the Brazilians
who want to come to America or who does not
know how is to live in America.
Speaker 8 (44:32):
The real life.
Speaker 7 (44:33):
No, not that fake people say, oh I come here
and make a million dollars a billionaire.
Speaker 8 (44:38):
No they're not. Write work, work class. People talk about
their lives.
Speaker 7 (44:43):
So that's really interesting for me because I was watching
a podcast in Brazil and say this is not true.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
No, that's not real.
Speaker 8 (44:53):
Let's real life.
Speaker 7 (44:55):
You know. Of course I love real life. I love
I love real stories. Not a filmmaker, but I love stories.
And so the podcast was based for that direction. So
then what happened was I now I'm going through like you,
I know a lot of celebrities, a lot, I know
a lot of people on the on the holiday industry. First,
(45:15):
I still have them coming into the studio. I created
creation studies for the podcast first, and then the entrepreneur
business comes little because I have this space open why
not rent? Why not create a business through my space?
So the creation is just like something comes from the
(45:36):
podcast and the podcast my mission it is now to
be the voice of the people who.
Speaker 8 (45:45):
They don't have a voice. You as opportunity story, the
real story.
Speaker 7 (45:51):
That's my mission, and then to connect it and to
do the networking and then to communicate. And my friend,
that's for telling me, oh, we know we want to please,
but no, no, no no.
Speaker 8 (46:03):
I wanted to be the connector.
Speaker 7 (46:05):
I wanted to make sure you can talk about you.
You yours from yourself, not someone else. It is a
creator narrative about your life you. So that's my niche
on the podcast.
Speaker 5 (46:19):
I just love that.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Thank you love it.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
I think it's so important to bring that up because,
you know, having been an immigrant and knowing what that's like,
some of the systems, Oh my goodness, it drives me crazy.
So I'd love to, you know, connect with you and
talk about that. It can be so close but so different. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (46:44):
Yeah, if I can open at this moment, like it's
kind of it's kind of funny because when it started,
you goo, I just don't know We're going to go to.
Speaker 8 (46:53):
So much easier or immigration.
Speaker 7 (46:55):
So I feel like I was the right time, right
moment form little people can talk, be he heard, and
I can talk from someone who cannot talk. You know
that they cannot express themselves. So to create this, uh,
this time now to can talk over here. Okay, we
love you, you know, we'll have to be over here.
(47:17):
Give us a chance to show all value, you know,
and it's very important.
Speaker 5 (47:23):
I love that giving people a voice.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Real We got about ninety seconds. Talk about Sunday again,
really quickly unless we have this clip, if this clip.
Speaker 8 (47:33):
Is really coming, Okay, oh it's coming Sunday, Sunday, come
talk about.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
All right, real quick. That's from the National film, which
was good.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
So the opening night premiere was A Man on the
Run Paul McCartney after he leaves the Beatles and how
he forms Wings, the trials and tribulations that he went
through his depression and thinking that he's a terrible songwriter
without John Lennon was a very very good film.
Speaker 3 (48:59):

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hey, there's Brian Sebastian movie reviews more and if it's Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
First of all, we always have to give to the arts.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
The arts are very, very important, whether it's the museums, authors,
film festivals, you name it, the toy industry, the fashion industry.
Everything's being hit unfortunately, and obviously we're streaming on Talk
for TV, KFOHD Radio Talk for Media and streaming on
over one hat one hundred outlets right now around the world.
I'm getting a lot of Texas on things. People are
(01:33):
still wishing happy Birthday, which is done. That was like
last week to me, which is interesting. But the good
thing about this is this is a special show. Because
I did not book a show for One's Carol. I
skipped over the thirtieth in the calendar date, which is strange.
It never happens. So we had like an open schedule
and you said, I have someone for you. Carol's going
(01:54):
to talk about who that was. And then my friend
Roz Wolfrom who helps run the Jewish festival in Beverly Hill, says,
I have someone.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Can we get him on.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm like, no, we can't, but then again we can
because we had time. So the good thing about this
is Greg, it was perfect timing for you, perfect timing
for Danny. And Terry's on the run, Chikata get here,
Rachel Roberts, she's stuck doing something in Houston, Texas, Tasha's
in the studio, Howard's dancing tonight, Linda's training somebody, and
who's the other one? Victoria is singing. So the whole
(02:24):
thing about this, this is gonna be special because we
never have four people, never Carol and River there's that,
So this is a good thing.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So you guys get to have more time.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
So this is one hundred and seventy two shows, live
shows in a row, which our streak is still going,
and this will be fun. And so I'm gonna let
Carol introduce Danny. But first of all, Greg doesn't know
this we met throughout the years. I remember going to
you know, the American Film for Market, which is one
of the best, you know markets in the world, throughout
the day saying I walked in and said, what I
(02:55):
could have watched all these movies because I'm a movie hore.
When I see photos of Eric robertson everybody out there,
I'm like, you know, stuff that's not even been in production,
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And I was in home video then in the early
nineties and then so he's been in film festivals. He's
worked for Disney, Warner Brothers and a couple other people,
and I know have dealt with him because Greg doesn't.
I don't think he knows that. I used to be
in a radio round table junket sye with that. And
then I got to thank the Nadine Jolson for that
because we just met. So she's tooking us up with
(03:25):
another client where we don't have room for but we
will make room for them, because Carol knows we never
have room. So the good thing about this, when you're
that former head of communications with the American Film Market,
it can't go wrong because it's always about finding those films,
whether pre production or in production and then when you've
done it, helly, we do and that's the good thing
about it. But the also thing, you know, I like
(03:48):
this when you're that festival director for the artist for
film Festival Los Candles.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And Real dasan Arrow, Danny, Greg, that says something.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But he's also that journalist, so he's a guy who's
done a lot of great things. He's also, which is
important for a lot of people, also been that Hollywood
reporter because you can't go wrong with that. And Greg,
you get to introduce and say your last name correctly
for the audience so that I don't screw it up.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, Greg.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Bright, my name is Greg and the last name is Atassa.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And I need that. I was only kidding.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So now I'm going to turn it over to Carol
because she's going to introduce Danny. We never do this,
We never know what we're going to do. It's always
improp Go ahead, Carol.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
It's so true.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Danny.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I'm so glad you're here. Before I introduce you, I
just want to mention it is giving Back Tuesday. I
want to shout out easy Way because Danny is also
a part of the easy Way network and being on
the board a better vision for children. This is something
that's very important being a part of this family and
(04:52):
dream Weaver art supporting artists is extremely important. And whatever
your favorite way to give back is, I just invite
you to jump in, take part and give back Tuesday
and be a part of what's going on with your generosity,
because that brings in even more for you.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Duddy.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I'm so excited you're here. It was so wonderful to
meet you at Info List pre Emmy's event at Skybar
in you know, on the Sunset Strip, I'll say, and
you were stunning. You were standing there in this gold
La made dress and I was like, what just happened?
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Where did she come from? And I knew I had
to meet you immediately and it was wonderful. So I'm
so glad that you're here. I know that you are
a media personality, an entrepreneur, and an advocate for the
immigrant community with Brazilian Americans, maybe even the bigger immigrant community.
(06:02):
I'm really excited to hear about your Somba dance show.
I love Somba and uh it's a oh yeah Brazil
somber show. Yes, Yes, how long did you do that?
Di i'ven and share about that. I'd love to hear more.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Thank you first of all, thanks for having me open

a pleasure me. I'm around the film festivals in it
for a long time. I love film industry. It's my passion.
Besides the dancing, right, all kinds of arts, and I have.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Been a dancer for over many many years. But I
won't say that is because my it is going to
be a stream now.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
But yeah, so this little girl has been dancing, ballet,
jet everything.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
But when arriving in America twenty six years ago, I
can do the math. Now now it's just kidding.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
And then I commun to come to I say, you
know what everybody's doing, ballet, jazz, hip hop, everything. So
I want to bring my culture over here. I want
to show the best of my culture. Now the Brazilian,
the carravalok. It's so happy, you bring happy, bring people,
you feel good. And now it's the drumming the colors,
(07:25):
and then it's the best I can do it, you know,
and to show my culture and some by presents Brazil
and Samba over in Los Angeles and then for a while,
and then I also abroad so into all kinds of
places with my company. So I was really really fortunate
to have this opportunity to show my culture in no
(07:48):
only he Reuss, but all over the place, and then
to grow from there and oh yeah, Brazil, some a show.
It is my passion because I'm a passionate dancer. I'm
a personal artist, and that made had made made possible
to meet an easy way easy you know, and another
(08:09):
a lot of another people that are so wonderful and
helped me so much to treaven my path over here
in Los Angeles. So oh yeah, Brazil, and my show
is my first daniel aka Daniello Brazil. It is me
like you years ago, but now I'm here, the new one,
the new don Donny Kelly. I was the podcast, the studio,
(08:32):
you know, having podcasts and talking to people like you guys,
and I'm so wondered, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I know you were known as Danielle Brazil with this
like you were just mentioning, and you were in Hong
Kong and Singapore and Asia all over the world doing
as well as Los Angeles and the Greater area. So
it's it's really interesting, you know, what your experiences were
(08:58):
in this and the also you mentioned in Nearbio the
celebrities that you connected with as a media personality, and
I thought that was really wonderful because it.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
For me to come from Brazil and be able to
Okay wing you in Brazil, your little girl watching all
those movies, America movies and all the lifestyle.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
It's just dream about it.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
And I never thought I would have come to Los
Angeles and I never thought I was coming to hollywoods
So for me, it was a very distance far dream
to watch Michael Jackson, Madonna. I know, all the music
videos and the movies Back to the Future, and I'm like, yeah,
this is like so far. And then suddenly I arrived
here and it starts to meet all the celebrities. I
(09:44):
was part of awards now Nikolodeo Awards and also and
now I will come in my mind, but all tons
of awards and film fashion blow so walk with the
red carpets like Bedly he was film fashionbow.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
I don't like no Nino, And then you know I've
being part of this.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
You know, this environment for me was I kept dreaming
coming true and it's being a bit dreaming coming through
if I work hard, because it's nothing comes easy, right.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
The fun thing about that, Greg, is when you work
hard and you've done a lot of stuff, you know
any you know, I don't think the audience will know this,
anybody from around the world, because we have a big
audience outside the US too, Hollywood Film Festival, Hollywood Parks
Film Festival, Hollywood Reporter, and you, being a journalist, you
one of the few that have done everything. When you
(10:34):
put that into that, because worlds, movies, fitness, fashion, everything
goes into this. I said in twenty fourteen when I
was running helping run the Hollywood Film Festival, that film
festivals are dead. They are, but I have hope for
yours because I just saw a becoming Vera, which I
thought was a great opening night film, which is coming.
So for the audience out there October six to twelfth,
(10:57):
Greg's gonna talk about this film festival, but a little
bit about us back because you've been picking movies for
a long time and you know what it's like to
run a film festival, and it's gotten not gotten easier.
So now when it comes to the podcast world, we're
not doing junkets anymore. I just did three interviews today
with Guy Pierce do Wanda why so she was in
on Jurassic Park for their killing Faith and we're going
(11:18):
to show a trailer at them in a little bit.
But the entertainment world is different, the media world is different.
Everything is different, and everything is still connected, but a
lot tighter. Talk about why you started this and also
you know the Downtown Film Festival, which was one great
that you did, and I didn't know that you did,
the Real Desian Arrow one.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Tell us about all of that. Get great?
Speaker 9 (11:39):
Yeah, yeah, Well, the origin story of this film begins
in two thousand when a group of film activists on
that part of Los Angeles, which was been called the
East Side and later that borders moved east of that,
but it was civil likely Felis at the park community.
(12:02):
We wanted to get a film festival that reflected our
community and showcase independent film. All the other film festivals
were based on the West Side. So Silvil Like Film
Festival began as a community event in the two thousand
and by two thousand and five were full fledged film
festival seven days. By two thousand and seven, we had
(12:25):
grown so big that we grew out of our two
screening venues which were historic Visita Theater that was Felis Theater.
So we decided to rebrand ourselves and move downtown and
rename ourselves to Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival, kind of
following where the independent film community themselves were removing as
they were priced out of silver Lake and Los Filas
(12:45):
and Echo Park. But that nonprofit organization behind silver Light
and DTLA the same one behind her film New Film.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You know, talk about your background of writing. Also, writing
is a lost art. There's not a lot of people
reading books, which is kind of sad. I missed the
days when I would read you know, a variety Hollywood
you know Hollywood Report when they would go neck and neck,
and then I would read my USA Today. So I
was you know, people spend seven dollars on a coffee
at Starbucks. I was spending seven dollars a day reading
(13:18):
Monday through Friday. And I would say it because I
wanted to read everything in it, because it was important.
Speaker 10 (13:24):
Well, you know, that was the day when there were
two main daily newspapers covering exsively the entertainment inst and
they were fierce competitors.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
So every day I would get to look at what my.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Competitor stories were and which ones I missed and which
ones I got.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
So it was it was a kind of experience in situation.
Speaker 10 (13:48):
That just doesn't exist anymore, that kind of head competition
with another daily newspaper. But it was great training for
becoming what I eventually did was the Hollywood publicist. I
worked as the kind of home video in JVPR.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
For New Line.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
I was in West Coast director Grammercy, which was a.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
They had some great films. I remember going to the office.
All that stuff was great. And for those people who
don't realize this what Greg is starting to talk about,
this is where a lot of independent films came out
of which were really really great.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And I came out of the home video business.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So I did a lot of those things for like Newline,
Newline as part of you know, Warner Brothers. Underneath Warner
Brothers is like right now, but when it comes down
to Austin Powers, uh, you know Freddy Freddy Krueger that
was part of Newline, Newline Centema.
Speaker 10 (14:39):
All of those Yeah, no one why to touch that
because they thought it was too expensive and they would
never earn their money back. Of course, it just made
New Line a fortune, and then I went on to
from Grammercy, which was a joint venture between PolyGram and
Universal that's probably best name probably for four Weddings in
their funeral didn't break out of it, to Disney, and
(15:03):
then I went to the American Film Marketing to where
imit Bryant.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So, Danny, I know you've heard about a lot of
these things because you know, you know, as he's talking
about four weddings and a funeral, this is when we
did a lot of in person junkets and stuff like that.
So I think when Penelope Cruz came over, Samahia came over,
a lot of that great talent. I was reminding Guy Pearce,
you know when the Australians came over him, Russell Crowe,
(15:26):
Nicole Kidman coming over, that pack of Australians in the
early nineties. That talent was there. And then you have
South America all of that stuff coming in there too.
And again, I mean, I love my Brazilian friends, my
Portuguese friends, my Columbian friends, and they do listen to
this show around the world because they chat with us
all the time on What's Chat.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So I really really like that.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You know, Anny, what made you want to come over
because you started to talk about that a little bit
and you are in a film work a little bit too.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Yeah, well make me come over? Was the boosolite you have.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
In America in all kind of industry, not just see
in film, but everything.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
I was like earlier today on the podcast that uh,
we have.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
American culture all over the place, all over the world,
all over the globe. So it's a lot of marketing
a lot about American culture everywhere.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
So we grow up.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
If you're in the country, you grow up watching how
you go to school, to college. You know what's movies,
how is your breakfast, your daily lives? And so we
are in your country, you're watching your culture. What's gonna happen?
You wanted to go to America? You want to go
to see Mickey Mouse, you wanted to go to Holland
(16:41):
was just start you know, check check it out, and
it's okay, not only myself, but everyone wants to be here.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
So the way the.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Moves are portraying makes us want they needed to.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Come to America. And also because of the American.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Dream, like we grow up with watching movies and the
news talking about how consolidated is America. That still makes us,
you know, like I wanted there. I wanted to achieve
the American dream. So it's not an oscillating case.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
It's everyone, I imagine.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
The whole world wants to be here, so and for me,
particularly because I was a dancer since I was four
years old, so I wanted to see what could achieve
with my dance, you know, what I had to learn
and then to share also my experience as a Brazilian
over here. So that's what it's like to be a
(17:38):
Brazilian in America.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Yes, I think she's leaning into, you know, your advocacy
with the immigrant community. It's not so important. I've been
living in Chile for the past twelve years and so
I understand what it's like to be an immigrant. But
I also really understand stand exactly what you're talking about
(18:03):
with the media, the music, the movies. Coachella is in
Santiago every year. You know, it's a big deal to
be able to come and have this experience, like you
were saying, But then arriving and being here is a
whole different story, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
It is a challenge because you have to overcome your
your what you have already right your traditions and to
learn a new world, to learn everything new again, even
though yourself you have to leave that old self on
the side, not not not to change, but you have
to now put a new culture, new language, and now
(18:48):
the new system is is a is a big process
to beamyglands.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
It's not easy to beguins. And I tell all my
American friends to be uh to understand. No, I know
you're not a.
Speaker 11 (19:01):
Missue, but to understand you actually you have a love,
you have a goal, you have a dream. But even
though you're here, it's not being easy for all immigrants
to be over here. And most of them are going
to love this country and the owner, and they value
so much to be over here.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
So I understand the laws. I understand what's happening, you know,
I totally understand. But also I understand that we are
a mix of so many diversity over here, and what
does mix the bid of America?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Hey, Greg, I'm going to show a clip which is
not one of yours yet. I gotta show Killing you know,
Killing Faith, because it's coming out before year festival. Let's
take a look at this really quickly.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
No, that little girl of yours, you know, you're not
supposed to being down with her. She needs help.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Well, i'll see doc Steve Benner comes to take a
look at her. Tell me, would like to be a
doctor who can't shave live. I'll let you know next
time you find yourself.
Speaker 12 (20:24):
Sick, I need to get her to preach your boss.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
You're going to save her.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Some preacher hopaus pocus ain't gonna make a damnite difference.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
You don't believe in the devil, doctor tall tales and fictions.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Excuse us, we're looking for some water. Well, now that's
something we have planning up. Why would they be after her?
This child Gary's in her? All that is wicked. We're
gonna call he took her.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
He took her.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
I fell release her through the righteous part of these hands.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
No, I understand trying all you can to say what's yours?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
There ain't no running from it.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
His head.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
There is such evil things worked, one particularly one for evil.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
What if you're wrong?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Now that's not one of Greg's. But I had to
show that first. But you know the thing about that is,
you know it's good to talk to guy pere. So
that didn't talked to him a long time for the
audience who was in l a confidential for that movie.
If anybody remembers that Warner Brothers, Greg, I know you
remember that with Russell Crow, the Australians coming and playing
the Americans.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Uh about all of that stuff?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Is this film is out through shouts, you know, Factory Shout, Studio,
Radiant Entertainment. It's a really good felt in the wander
Wise this is a woman to watch, she's really really good.
And the Little Girl this is her debut, Emily Ford beautiful.
This film scared me because it's got suspen and fear
and during those into Western Hey. Greg, let's talk about
what's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
When you get into film festivals, it's not easy to
do any of these things.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Well?
Speaker 10 (22:19):
No, you know, I mean it's it's always hard to
run a nonprofit, yeah, and it's always hard to fundraise.
Speaker 12 (22:26):
It's even your harder when your brand is new. So
even though we've been around produce successfully film festivals for
the last twenty five years and including Artists Film Festival,
which was the one out of Brazil, Brian that you mentioned.
It was the documentary film festival focused on activism.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
So we've been doing this twenty five years.
Speaker 10 (22:47):
But it's a brand new name, so we have to
introduce people to the new name of the film festival.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
And franquently to Hollywood Park.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
It's everyone's been probably over Hollywood Park as they came
into lax Is, three miles east of lax five miles.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
From the beach.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
They may even recognize Sofi Stadium, that new architectural landmark,
the biggest football stadium in the country, which will be
the site of the opening day ceremonies for the Summer
Olympics when they returned to.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
But a lot of people and a lot of people.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Probably remember a relative going to Hollywood Park, the racetrack,
right the thorough track which was built. It was established
in nineteen thirty seven and called Hollywood Park, not because
of its location because it's miles away from the geographic
community of Hollywood, but because Hollywood moguls and ale stars
(23:41):
of the Golden era actually financed that. We think we're
coming full circle now with Hollywood Park and finally bringing
back Hollywood to Hollywood Park.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Hey, Greg, I'm going to see if we could take
a look at this trailer becoming Vera in a minute,
which is really really good and then Terry just jumped
down by Carol.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Tell everybody who you.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Are, Carol Register. I am a neurocoach, so I created
the neurowealth method, which is a combination of universal wealth
laws with neuroscience principles. I specialize in taking women who
are at six figures to seven seven plus figures. I
also work with those who are wealthy and miserable. Anybody
(24:22):
ever met somebody like that? Because wealth magnifies, money magnifies
who we are, so the money doesn't solve the issues.
We get to go deeper and do that so we
can live with fulfillment, have our cake and eat it too.
I also run retreats down at my place in southern
(24:44):
Dela complete nervous system and wealth resets. And in addition
to that, I have a podcast called Unleashed and Impossible
Unstoppable sorry by words Unleashed and Unstoppable, and we're in
our third year. We've got over one hundred and eighty
episodes completely free. We talk all about the neuroscience of leadership,
(25:10):
health and wealth. So I'm glad to be here with.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
You, all right, Terry.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Before we get to you, we're gonna show this trailer
alvera first and I'll get back to Terry.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
You're an amazing business in Latin jazz.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
That's like the most difficult music ever.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
Okay, did you get paid?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Not yet.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
We need to figure something out for food that you're
prepared anything kind of.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
I don't have a panel, but.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's all right.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Your hands are shaking.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Do you get nervous when you're play in front of people?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
If you do, you can't be a pen.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
I can make this work. Well, another little girl with
a big dream. Everywhere people say that everybody has some gift.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
That's life, because.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Having a gift is the rarest thing there is. Vera Fernandez.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Wow, Hey, Greg, talk about this film. I know what
it's like to pick films for a film festival. It's
not easy, and a lot of good films aren't always
picked in but people don't always understand why. Talk about
why Becoming Vera is an opening night, which is an
excellent film. The music Brian, Yeah, hey Greg, we just
(26:54):
lost your voiceeah, Greg.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
You have a Portuguese song with the resident.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I don't know, Hey Greg, we lost your volume somehow.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Yeah, there's just a song on REMI from that trailer.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Greg, come up on me.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Greg, you're on Mike Mike A Mic is mute, Mike
is mute.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
There we go. So that's off, all right, Greg, you're
on me. Well Greg's figuring out.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I got it.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
Sorry, I'm becoming. So I was saying this was the
unanimous choice of our program. Part of it is it's
a classic storyline. So it is the story of a
young person with amazing artistic talent who has one chance
to pursue her dream or and if she fails, she goes.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Back to her life in the working class.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
We've seen this story over and over again recently in
uh film like Cooda back in the nineties, Flash Dance.
So it's that tension of Okay, here's the one big
chance and is going to make it more You're going
to break it. Beyond that, it's just a wonderfully diverse cast,
and our whole film festival and the nonprofit organization behind
(28:17):
it is about promoting diversity in cinema and doing it
in the film capital.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Of the world. So it ticked all those boxes. And
I can't wait for everybody to see.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
It and talk about opening night and where people can
get tickets from too.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yeah, so you can just google Hollywood Park Film Festival
or Film Festival at Hollywood Park, and our website will
come up and you can buy tickets directly online or
you can come to the theater itself. Opening night is
October seventh at seven thirty pm. Again, Hollywood Park itself
is three miles east.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Of lax In.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
Yeah, kind of on West Century Boulevard and Prayer kind
of that quarter. And we'd love for everyone to come

hundred other films we're screening over seven days.
Speaker 3 (29:10):

Speaker 7 (29:14):
Hi.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
I'm Terry Murray and I've been with Brian since Todas
in fourteen, so I've been with Brian for ten years now.
I do all the red carpet red carbon interviews for
Brian at most of the celebrity events. I am a
fitness junkie, enthusiastic enthusiast. I've competed in shows like an
(29:36):
NPC Muscle Beach. I was Miss Bikini La in twenty sixteen,

A lot for Brazilians, right, we have this kind of
it's not bad, but like instead of type of Brazilians
hot girls, you know, beautiful body and you have to
carry the zone over and over and uh yeah, we
love to care aboudies like you carries, you love to
work out, to dance to good I believe you have
(30:38):
this happy, positive attitude about life. Most of Brazilians I
know and well learn that in Brazil because of dancing,
the music, the food makes all the it's so colorful,
and that's the carnival. So it's funny because people say,
oh Brazil and they get this like carnival, soccer right
(31:03):
and the Amazon, But we are more all more than today.
We can see that even though we have a christ
time is right now with our president and my president.

Hey, Greg, talk about your clothing night. It's clin Eastwood,
isn't it?
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:51):
This is a rare fine.
Speaker 10 (34:53):
So this is a very intimate portrait of clein Eastwood
and living legend in cinema month by a friend of
his who also happened to be.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
A documentary film director.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
And so we get to see Clenty's for for almost
two hours film at his ranch in Carmel and he
talks about his career, what motivated him, the high points
of low points. This film has only been screened once before,
about twenty five years ago, so we're bringing it back
to LA audiences and so this will be actually the
(35:26):
first film festival screening ever. We're calling it a film
Festival premiere. It's just a wonderful film.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Carol, that that entices you to go.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Very much. So yes, if I didn't have anything else
on my plate, I'd jump on a jet and be
there in the moment.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Well, Ryan's just three miles from the That's right.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
It's so close to lax.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Well, you know.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
And the strange thing about that is that she was
just here, so she's not kidding. Yeah, And Danny, I'm
definitely going to go to that because I want to
check it out because you had that Brazilian so and
that food.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
You know.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Yeah, yeah, I hope everybody's car I Caro, who won't
be here next time?
Speaker 8 (36:10):
We Greg please must write and tarry you.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
Guys must sounds like fun.
Speaker 8 (36:17):
Yeah, and Greig please come in openmote.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
The film Festival is gonna be on Sunday, so you
know it's promote and tell it by the open mind
to come to the Hollis Park next day in the
sixth good opportunity to let me know more to share.
Speaker 10 (36:33):
But you know, Brazilian cinema really is having a moment. Yeah,
it's it's one major one Oscar one Berlin. It recently
won a major ward, the Secret Agent at Care. It's
really on fire.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
You know, I was gonna ask you about world cinema.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Why that's an important because it is important and most
film festivals around the world too.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Yeah. So this year we have two foreign film series.
Speaker 10 (36:58):
One is our Latin X Films we're defining that is
Latin American filmmakers, not not American filmmakers of Latin or
Hispanic ascent, but Latin American filmmakers including Brazil.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
And then we also.
Speaker 10 (37:12):
Have a film series on Mina Middle Eastern North African filmmakers.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Big Gray, can you talk about the world of traditional
media has changed? It's about podcasting and now and it's
also about YouTubers now when YouTube overtakes networks, what does
that say to you as a former executive from people
who work for Disney and Waltis and uh and and
Warner Brothers.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Well, it's just amazing quickly. Thinks have changed over the
past few decades. You know, it's it really is a
different world.
Speaker 10 (37:45):
Although it's a very basis of of media. I think
the elements remain the same, you know, the power of
it's just the form of how to how to persuade
someone has changed, you know, for more legacy gatekeepers, two
more participatory news media, don't you think.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Yeah, it's much more open than it used to be.
And that's nice because that's brought in a lot of
elements that maybe would have been screened out before. You know,
if they were screened out. Now you can take action
and you can bring it to the forefront or on
your own and so I like that.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Actually, yeah, citizen journalism.
Speaker 10 (38:28):
And you know, and I always think that if Thomas Payne,
the Revolutionary War hero, were alive today, he'd be an
influencer a social media platform. He was a pamphleteer during
the Luary War and that was the equivalent back then.
And I think, you know, it's it's there's the downside too,
(38:49):
because without gatekeepers, a lot of stuff goes through that perhaps.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Shouldn't be published. But on the other hand, you know,
citizen journalism is really inspiring.
Speaker 6 (38:59):
Well, well, I think is about titien journalism is that
you can see so many different sides where the media
is going to control you a little bit more where
there's that right now, there's not that control there, which
I like because I think we should be able to
see all different angles and all different perspectives from different lenses.
Which that's what I really enjoy about. Uh, you know,
(39:19):
titis and journalism, as you said.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Right right, agreed here, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Hey, Greg, talk about this, followed by Danny American film
market that's changed. When all the dates of film festivals
are changing and losing five thousand screens. That's not good
for films in general. It's not good for museums and
music and lack of people reading books and even go
into the library. Talk about why publicity is good. But
(39:46):
also a lot of celebrities now you know, they are
holding back. A lot of them didn't want to talk
to traditional media, so now they can just talk about
social media on their own with their own elements.
Speaker 10 (39:58):
We your celebrities actually don't need the media any they
can talk directly to and so right and so increasingly,
you know, it's it's the increasingly the currency for celebrity artists,
actors and musicians is their followers.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Right, that's the currency.
Speaker 10 (40:20):
So they're defined by how many people are following them
on social media, and that's that's a whole new wrinkle.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
It's interesting. It's affecting everybody. I mean, it's affecting lawyers
and doctors. What are your reviews, what are your how
many followers do you have? You know, I mean, super interesting.
But the I think for me, based on what I'm
seeing is media is still very necessary, very important part
(40:49):
of what's happening because here you are out there directing
film festivals, and film festivals need coverage, and they need
traditional red carpets, they need traditional media coverage and interviews.
And there's still that element that we all like of
that we love seeing that. But it's just now instead
(41:11):
of flowing on the network news like it used to be,
it's flowing through our feeds, you know, and through reels.
But it's different. But I still think it's very important.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Absolutely big Greg.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
One of the other things I was talking about Carol
was just hitting on this. I was just coming back
from National Film Festival, where I don't like it when
I'm the only one on the red carpet and there's
one camera. I started noticing that when we were doing
Hollywood Film Festival in twenty fourteenth, we didn't have the
budget to have Getty come out or anything like that,
and then so people started taking, you know, photos off
(41:49):
of the cameras, which you see a lot of people
doing now when they don't have press. Well, you know,
what do you hope you guys do different when it
comes to Hollywood Park Film Festival.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (41:58):
Well, firstly, we have a great publicis Nadine Jellison, So
she is driving the effort to get legacy media coverage print, TV.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Radio as well as social media.
Speaker 10 (42:11):
But we have a very large social media team made
up of really bright college students who understand social media
much better than I do. And so we've turned out
lots of content over the last six months to create
a buzz about the film fess and so now we're
upon us. That team then actually comes to the event
(42:35):
itself and does more social media, put live events and
live interviews and so on. So we're excited about the
power of social media when it comes to a new
event like ourselves.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
So Caro, we have to thank somebody. She just reached
a million views. So she's doing movie with views and
more as a million view club. Our friend Terry Marie.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Talk about that clips because that's an important thing because
now other people want to join that club, Hunt Carol.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (43:05):
Well thanks, well it was that, you know, thanks to Hew.
Speaker 13 (43:10):
There's gifting suites, you know, and being on the red
carpet and interviewing celebrity. It's giving me opportunity to show
my talents. And yeah, we hit a million views on
my interview today, so that was That's that's exciting. That
was my first million view video, Brian so and it
was great how to interview Spia And I'm looking forward
(43:31):
to my next million view video, which would happen soon
here hopefully.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
That's funny, then that could happen. That's got to get
Jimmy to put it up in Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
Yeah, very very congratulations. That's huge.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Danny, we got a couple of minutes Las talk about
your podcast. Who do you have on it, how do
you get on it? And what makes you relevant?
Speaker 7 (43:52):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (43:52):
Nice, love, I love the question. That's amazing my podcast.
Speaker 7 (43:59):
It's first of all, when I started to talk about immigration,
how to survive in America and begin immigrant to Brazilians.
So on the first year, I had all Brazilians talk
about how they came to America, all the troubles or
know how they succeed and what they do, what they did.
Speaker 8 (44:19):
To UH to overcome the challenge.
Speaker 7 (44:23):
And then it was based to help all the Brazilians
who want to come to America or who does not
know how is to live in America.
Speaker 8 (44:32):
The real life.
Speaker 7 (44:33):
No, not that fake people say, oh I come here
and make a million dollars a billionaire.
Speaker 8 (44:38):
No they're not. Write work, work class. People talk about
their lives.
Speaker 7 (44:43):
So that's really interesting for me because I was watching
a podcast in Brazil and say this is not true.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
No, that's not real.
Speaker 8 (44:53):
Let's real life.
Speaker 7 (44:55):
You know. Of course I love real life. I love
I love real stories. Not a filmmaker, but I love stories.
And so the podcast was based for that direction. So
then what happened was I now I'm going through like you,
I know a lot of celebrities, a lot, I know
a lot of people on the on the holiday industry. First,
(45:15):
I still have them coming into the studio. I created
creation studies for the podcast first, and then the entrepreneur
business comes little because I have this space open why
not rent? Why not create a business through my space?
So the creation is just like something comes from the
(45:36):
podcast and the podcast my mission it is now to
be the voice of the people who.
Speaker 8 (45:45):
They don't have a voice. You as opportunity story, the
real story.
Speaker 7 (45:51):
That's my mission, and then to connect it and to
do the networking and then to communicate. And my friend,
that's for telling me, oh, we know we want to please,
but no, no, no no.
Speaker 8 (46:03):
I wanted to be the connector.
Speaker 7 (46:05):
I wanted to make sure you can talk about you.
You yours from yourself, not someone else. It is a
creator narrative about your life you. So that's my niche
on the podcast.
Speaker 5 (46:19):
I just love that.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Thank you love it.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
I think it's so important to bring that up because,
you know, having been an immigrant and knowing what that's like,
some of the systems, Oh my goodness, it drives me crazy.
So I'd love to, you know, connect with you and
talk about that. It can be so close but so different. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (46:44):
Yeah, if I can open at this moment, like it's
kind of it's kind of funny because when it started,
you goo, I just don't know We're going to go to.
Speaker 8 (46:53):
So much easier or immigration.
Speaker 7 (46:55):
So I feel like I was the right time, right
moment form little people can talk, be he heard, and
I can talk from someone who cannot talk. You know
that they cannot express themselves. So to create this, uh,
this time now to can talk over here. Okay, we
love you, you know, we'll have to be over here.
(47:17):
Give us a chance to show all value, you know,
and it's very important.
Speaker 5 (47:23):
I love that giving people a voice.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Real We got about ninety seconds. Talk about Sunday again,
really quickly unless we have this clip, if this clip.
Speaker 8 (47:33):
Is really coming, Okay, oh it's coming Sunday, Sunday, come
talk about.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
All right, real quick. That's from the National film, which
was good.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
So the opening night premiere was A Man on the
Run Paul McCartney after he leaves the Beatles and how
he forms Wings, the trials and tribulations that he went
through his depression and thinking that he's a terrible songwriter
without John Lennon was a very very good film.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
