The Adventures of a Digital Sensei
It is a Festivus miracle! Here is the New York Cine Radio Christmas Special that I spoke of in an earlier post when I was interviewed on TV! This week on the podcast the gang and I discuss the new “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” film and Continue reading “NY Cine Radio: The 2015 Christmas Special”
The pictures above are of me standing on line for the 8am early morning showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There has not been a more eagerly awaited and anticipated film in years, and keep in mind that includes all of the recent Marvel/DC/Superhero films that have dominated the box office as of late. Nerds and geeks love Star Wars probably as much, if not more so than they love Star Trek and Doctor Who.
I was going to wait until next week so see the new Star Wars film because I expected it to be a mad house, but while I was heading into the office I walked past the theater. There was no line outside for the earlier showing. I then decided I couldn’t wait and took a chance that tickets were available. Luckily there were spots still unsold and I was able to purchase a ticket. So I texted a colleague and rescheduled my 10am meeting until later in the day and went in to enjoy the show.
While waiting on the line I was approached by Mario Diaz of WPIX Channel 11 news. Mario Diaz is best known his reporting on the NYPD “Stop and Frisk” policy, as well as being the reporter that Continue reading “Episode 7: Time to play hooky”
After a really crappy week I was surprised by my old friend and former music producer, Stacy Burkett, who called me out of the blue. He was back in NYC for a few days and was reacquainting himself with NYC. It has been probably five more years since we have been in the same place so it was great to catch up with him. The last time we spoke at length was after he found one of my New York Cine podcast sessions online and heard me discussing our time working on my hip-hop demo over 20 years back.
Truth be told, he needs to move his @$$ back to NYC after so many years on the left coast.
The new episode of the New York Cine Radio Podcast is up. Melanie Hope, my old buddy from college, rolled through the podcast tonight to promote her upcoming documentary. I hadn’t seen Mel since maybe a year or two after I graduated. It was great to catch up and hear what she has been up to over the years.
Her film is called Grounders (http://groundersdocumentary.com) and focuses on a Brooklyn based softball league and the lives of the women that take the field. In addition to talking Continue reading “New York Cine: Softball and Grounders”
