The first time I met Tonya Lewis Lee was during the pandemic, on Zoom, and I did not know who she was. She and her co-director Paula Eiselt told me they wanted to make a film about maternal mortality in the United States.  As an obstetrician and professor, I am asked often by the media to comment on terrible statistics—that Americans today are 50% more likely to die in childbirth than their own mother; that those risks triple for Black people.
As we roll out new features for On the Circuit, we wanted to give you an opportunity to enjoy the podcast in the format that works best for you. There are both audio and video versions (via our new YouTube channel - please subscribe), with an abbreviated transcript below. The following list represents 10 of the US film festivals I believe independent filmmakers seeking the full package should consider. There are top tier fests that provide greater market conditions.
Hi Pal, Genre classification these days is usually a fairly tedious affair as more artists work their creative muscles to create music that draws inspiration from various soundscapes. For this list, Indie describes albums that fall within the indie soundscapes including rock, pop, electronic and experimental interpretations. Streaming links are embedded in the titles. TempleEvery year, I keep my eyes out for albums with dream pop sensibilities, and although this album is more than just that, it was effective in soothing my ache for songs with those sounds.
Resuming this project, here are five of my favorite songs by the Boss that come from the 1980s (though not all of them were released during that decade). As always, let me know what you think or what I’m forgetting! Famously alluded to in both the book and film High Fidelity, “Bobby Jean” is easily my favorite track off of Born in the USA. One of the things I really enjoy about it is it, truly, allows itself to be open to different interpretations.
Imagine a world where the tedious tasks you dread are taken care of by a robot—yes, a real humanoid robot! Fresh from the latest Y Combinator batch, an innovative AI startup is developing the world’s first open-source humanoid robot for under $10,000! Today, AI’s reach extends beyond just automation, influencing everything from how we live to how we make strategic business decisions. It has fundamentally changed how we look for information, process it, and take action.
Earlier this summer, I interviewed one of America’s greatest trial lawyers, Dan Webb. In May, I reached out and asked to interview him for my Successful Lawyer blog. He agreed, telling me he’d be available after he returned from his upcoming trial in Delaware. Little did I know at that time, the upcoming trial was the Fox and Dominion defamation case, where he was the lead trial counsel for Fox. He told me when we met that he was literally standing up to do his opening statement when he got the call that it settled.
This match is fine. A large part of the appeal of seeing this comes from purely novelty. It’s true, Cactus Jack did a few tours for All Japan back in the day. Most notably, he was a participant in the 1991 Champion Carnival where a pretty famous fancam of him wrestling Jumbo Tsuruta has floated about online. General consensus seems to say that Jack never really did any of his best work on those All Japan tours, as he was far from a centerpiece of booking and some of the best work of his career would still be ahead of him.
