Catching up with Film Director, Chris Power

Exactly 3 years ago, I spoke to indie film director, Chris Power, who was releasing his first feature film called “Long Pigs”.  This horror “mockumentary” was about a cannibalistic, serial killer, and I have to say it was well done and quite freaky… Chris, and Anthony Alviano, who played the cannibal, were so much fun.  They were the reason I got the bug to start going into animation.  I even animated part of our interview.

Well, three years later I was eager to catch up with Chris and see what he was up to.  He’s been quite busy.  He’s gone from horror film maker, to the director of a wonderful documentary entitled “The Stare”, about veterans suffering post traumatic stress disorder.

Chris is a fascinating guy, and I had a blast chatting with him.

Chatting with Big Band Leader, Jerry Costanzo

The American Songbook is alive and quite well.  Just listen to bandleader and vocalist, Jerry Costanzo.  His velvet cords sing favorites from Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hammerstein to Sinatra.

“Dedicated to the preservation of this American art form, Jerry Costanzo is considered one of the best and busiest singer/bandleaders on the scene today. Jerry has gained popularity among connoisseurs of this great music. He appeals to audiences young and old. His interpretations of timeless “American Standards” from the song writing greats will set the stage and carry listeners back to an era when this sultry and swinging music was the “Pop” of the day.”

I really enjoyed chatting with Jerry, and I especially enjoyed listening to his tunes.  His latest CD, Invitation, is available, and I highly recommend it.

Film and TV actor, Adrian Bustamante

I enjoy catching up with prior guests of the show, especially when they make me smile early in the day.  That’s what Adrian Bustamante does, makes me smile.

What Happens if I…

Did you ever ask yourself that question?  What happens if I…?  We all do, and have.

Author, Betsy Otter Thompson too that question one step further.  She wrote a book answering that and many other questions in this very helpful guide named just that, “What Happens if I”?

I got to speak with Betsy about her book, and I learned a lot about myself and handling many situations.  I love chatting with Betsy.  I always feel better afterwards.  :-)

Go Fly a Kite!!!

Yup, that’s right.  I told you to go fly a kite.  Why not?  It’s fun and it’s the topic of author Martin Boyd’s new novel, “Papalotero”.

Papalotero is Mexican Spanish for Kite Flyer.  It’s also a book about such a man who emigrated to Toronto, Canada.  Here’s a bit of what it’s about.

“Teresa Jones’s dreams of flying contrast sharply with her dreary, earthbound life working as a filing-clerk in a CD store, and suffering the constant nagging of her academic parents, who are outraged at her stubborn refusal to go to college. Her best friend – the popular, successful and apparently happy college freshman Elena Kravchuk – has the perfect prescription for Teresa’s depression: she needs to get laid. When the two girls meet Miguel Angel Ramirez, a misfit Mexican immigrant who builds and flies kites for a living, Elena goes to work as match-maker to bring him together for a casual fling with her socially awkward, chronically depressed best friend. But rather than providing a one night stand, this papalotero will transform the lives of both girls in ways that neither one bargained for: Elena will confront the truth that her life is not as perfect as she so desperately wants people to believe it is, while Teresa will be challenged to give up her low self-esteem and Life Sucks t-shirts, and discover that the happiness she thinks is out of her reach might actually be just one small leap of faith away.”

I loved this book, and I had a wonderful time chatting with Martin.

Zombie Attack!!! with Author, Devan Sagliani

I got to have my very own version of the “Talking Dead”.  I spoke all things zombie with author, Devan Sagliani.  Devan’s book “Zombie Attack, Rise of the Horde”, is a character driven book about the zombie apocalypse.  I loved a lot of things about it.  It was written with younger readers in mind, so it wasn’t about the guts and gore, but about the people and how they interact with each other and the new world in which they find themselves.

If you like Zombies, I highly recommend “Zombie Attack”.

It’s always funny to talk about poop!!!

Seriously, did you notice that conversations always revert to poop?  Well, This week’s guests co-authors Heidi Willis and Jane Gari.  Jane and Heidi wrote the book, “Flush This Book:  True Tales of Bodily Malfunctions.  They not only talk sh*t, they make it really funny- so funny that while I was reading their book at Starbucks, I was laughing out loud.  Needless to say, everybody thought I was nuts.  But I knew better.

Their hysterical book is all for a good cause.  A portion of the proceeds of the book goes to The World Toilet Organization, which helps bring toilets to parts of the world where there is no sanitation.

Detour, Not Your Mother’s Musical

I send this out to all of you “women of a certain age”.  There’s a new musical in town-in Orlando Florida, at the Fringe Festival, starting May 17, 2013.

I got a chance to chat with Rachel Wright and Sarah Cowie, the co-writers, producer and director of Detour, and a few of the cast members.  Wow!!!  I can’t wait to see the show.

Here’s the storyline:
“Detour, NOT Your Mother’s Musical” , is a comedic romp about an intervention that four women and their one very close to being a woman friend take in order to help their gal pal, Ashley, rebound from her twenty year marriage which evaporates overnight.  The girls whisk their best friend to a resort to help her cope, rediscover themselves, learn about the joys of younger men, the pitfalls of plastic surgery and a thing or two about battery operated toys. Ashley feels like her life has taken her off course, but with friends by her side, she’s rerouted for an even better destination!”
