Tamar-kali bewitches us with her magical score for “Shirley”

Filmmaker Patricia Vidal Delgado breaks through biases in “La Leyenda Negra”
“La Leyenda Negra” comes to HBO Latino and HBO Max on 12/4 I love all of the interviews I do, but this one was very special. In a way, the universe brought director Patricia Vidal Delgado and I together, or rather it was meant to be. I was roaming around Main Street in Park City […]

Josephine Decker casts a witchy spell with her new film ‘Shirley’
As Sundance comes to a close, I’m pleased to share my first of many interviews conducted at the festival.

Chaz Ebert introduced me to the 2019 Sundance Ebert Fellows Niani Scott, Whitney A. Spencer, and Tiffany Walden via Instagram as they were on their way to Park City, Utah, to cover Sundance Film Festival.
