Episode 202: This episode was recorded October 13, 2024 and published October 15, 2024.

The time you have to get the attention of someone who watches your video depends on a lot of things.

In this episode, I’m going to share a trick I learned in video production and a tool I use from my journalism writing class, which I use for all my videos and other media projects. I share a bunch of insights with you!

I use the Five W’S: Who, What, When, Where and Why to decide if I only have 4 seconds or a bit longer at the start of the video to capture the viewer's attention before they move on. 

This episode topic was inspired by a follower I follow on social media. Link below!

Episode 201: This episode was recorded October 3, 2024 and published October 8, 2024.

A really fun conversation getting to know the chairman of San Diego Comic Fest, Matt Dunford. SD Comic Fest takes place October 25-27, 2024.

Matt is passionate about comics and has a connection to some of the most incredible celebrities in the industry, and yet, he is quite humble. Matt and I talk a bit about mobile filmmaking from his perspective, and his thoughts on ’28 Years Later’ by Danny Boyle, shot with iPhone and funded by Hollywood studios. But in this episode, you’ll enjoy a fun conversation where Matt shares intimate stories of his connection to the comics industry.

Matt shares how he learned to read with comics, his first San Diego Comic-Con experience, and then we discuss his role in the Netflix Emmy award-winning documentary series, “Love on the Spectrum.” Matt is in the first episode of season 2.

We made it to episode 200 and we made it special. We welcome back Aaron Nabus and Dhwani Shah to celebrate with Susy Botello. October marks our 7th year and this episode is a landmark.

Join us for a fun and entertaining discussion with Susy, Aaron. It begins with the big news from September 19: Why is a movie filmed entirely with the iPhone spending 75 million dollars? We discuss the film, 28 Years Later, by Danny Boyle starring Cillian Murphy.

Susy shares how the idea of podcasting began in 2007 with GarageBand. But it was in March 2017 when she was inspired to launch the podcast with a long list of potential guests. 

We also discuss mobile filmmaking with Dhwani and the inaugural FilAm Creator Con that launched September 14 by Aaron in San Diego.
