Ms In The Biz – Grant Imahara’s “Crazy Rich Asians” Screening

Check out my latest article for Ms In The Biz!

Los Angeles –Last Friday night I had the honor of joining almost 100 friends for a screening ofCrazy Rich Asians. Grant Imahara (of Mythbusters fame) had booked a screening as he recognized this movie was a game changer: “The first all Asian studio film since The Joy Luck Club 25 years ago! Crazy Rich Asians is a really important movie. It’s been 25 years since a major Hollywood movie has featured an all Asian cast (Joy Luck Club). Not only that, butCrazy Rich Asiansfeatures an Asian romantic lead, which is unprecedented.”

Podcast: Her Process with Jo Bozarth: Stephanie Thorpe – Actor, Producer

Tune in for my chat with the lovely Jo Bozarth of Her Process!

Click for Options

“This week’s chat is with actor/producer, Stephanie Thorpe. Stephanie knew that she wanted to act, write, and produce for as long as she can remember. Her love of creating characters and telling stories led her to act and produce on stage and on the screen. By remaining true to herself, and the eight year old Lord of The Rings and Dune reading girl that she was, Stephanie has been able to combine her passion for sci-fi and fantasy along with her love of acting and production, to create quite a stir in the new media community, and beyond. She has performed in over a dozen of Shakespeare’s plays, has created over 150 episodes of original narrative content for the web, and has been a panelist/guest speaker more than 25 times at various conventions. If you ask me, that’s a well rounded individual!

In this episode, Stephanie gives valuable audition tips, speaking as someone who’s been on both sides of the auditioning process. She talks about the importance of social media for today’s artists. We go back to her biggest influences in childhood and see how they’ve carried through today to land her as an influencer in both the geek and new media communities, by combining everything she loves.”

How Paris is Celebrating Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Pics)

In case there was still any debate, Star Wars is a cultural phenomenon spanning our globe. Last month I was in Paris, and got to witness firsthand another country’s unbridled enthusiasm leading up to the opening of “Le Reveil de la Force” (The Force Awakens).

Star Wars was EVERYWHERE!

From department store window displays at the historic Haussmann Galeries Lafayette, to disposable water bottles, and there was even a Leia whose attire and hair was sculpted entirely out of chocolate at the 2015 Salon du Chocolat (imagine San Diego Comic Con, but for Chocolatiers. Yum.)
