In this episode I chat with Dr Luke Shelton.

The final conversation in this 5-Episode-Arc, I sit down with the delightful Sheryl J. Anderson, Showrunner for NETFLIX'S SWEET MAGNOLIAS, and delve deep into the world of storytelling and revisit the beautiful town of Serenity. From talking about adaptation to favorite on-screen moments, to celebrating the passionate community behind SWEET MAGNOLIAS: the writers, the production designers, crew, directors, and actors, this conversation is one for the books.  I am so honored and grateful to have had this opportunity not just to talk with Sheryl but to learn from her as well.  Check out SWEET MAGNOLIAS today exclusively on Netflix .

In a world of what seems to be never ending toxicity, a light shines through an original Netflix series entitled SWEET MAGNOLIAS.  One of the characters, a positive, kind-hearted soul named Trotter, brightens every scene he is in.  I was privileged enough to get the chance to talk to Hunter Burke, the actor behind the character, a man who could give Trotter's kind soul a run for its money.  I spoke with Hunter about his journey to becoming an actor and landing the role of Trotter, to the joy it is for him to bring this character to life, the hopes of where Trotter's journey could lead in future seasons, and the important of authentic storytelling.

On Part Three of the Three Part OpenGate Series, I sit down and chat with Mike Anderson, Co-Founder of OpenGate Entertainment. We talk about how the industry is quite broken, his journey from IT guy to co-founder, and how building the right foundation for a project can help open the gate towards success for new voices in the industry. He teases the vision forward for OpenGate and where he sees the company going in the near future. There is an end goal and content acquisition and development is just the beginning.

On Part Two of the Three Part OpenGate Series, I sit down and chat with Jonathon Dubow, Director of Distribution, Financing & Production at OpenGate Entertainment.  We talk about industry standards, his journey through the film market, and the breaking of the gatekept Hollywood.  He stresses on the importance of perseverance in the film/series industry and how he prides himself on helping those creatives sitting on the sidelines scream a little louder into the void of content development.

And let’s face it, Hollywood is in much need of disruption.
