This week, I’m joined by Tess Dinerstein, who is a breakout face in the world of vertical movies, those fast-paced, dramatic short films you've probably binged on Instagram Reels, TikTok, or Snapchat without even realizing it.

In this episode, we dive into:

• How Tess got her start in the world of vertical filmmaking

• What makes vertical movies so addicting and how they’re structured

• The differences between traditional film and vertical storytelling

• The behind-the-scenes of creating viral short-form drama

• Her candid take on the format’s “cheesiness” and why it works anyway

Whether you're a fan, a critic, or just curious about the content you're constantly scrolling past, Tess gives an honest, funny, and eye-opening look into this rising form of entertainment.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
