Art of the Frame

When it comes to digital media production and marketing, few people have quite the experience as Mykim Dang (pronounced ME-kim). She's produced work for such companies as Facebook and in her role as Executive Producer of video production at America's Test Kitchen, she's helped create and distribute content for one of the premier brands in the world of cuisine. In this in-depth interview with her, we cover a wide range of topics related to producing content for a YouTube channel with about 1.3 million subscribers. We also dive into her thoughts related to diversity in the industry, the Bon Appetit and Reply All podcast fiasco, and why she thinks David Fincher has been the most profound influencer on the evolution of streaming video. Also back on the show this week is actress, musician, and filmmaker Sapna Gandhi, head of content at the film collective We Make Movies.

On this episode of Crossing the 180 we have Alice Brooks, director of photography for Jon Chu's adaptation of Lin Manuel-Miranda's Broadway musical sensation "In the Heights." Alice shares about her artistic inspirations, the complexity in shooting musicals and choreographed dancing, how they performed some of those more complex scenes from the movie (like the dancing on the side of the building scene), and some of the technical challenges they faced and how they overcame them. This is the first episode where I have guest co-hosts. This is something I'll do from time to time to make for a deeper, more engaging conversation. Today we have two actors, Tehana Weeks and Sapna Gandhi. Tehana and Sapna are part of the film collective We Make Movies, which provides resources, workshops, productions services and insurance for filmmakers. (If you're interested in learning more about the film competition they mentioned near the end of the show, click here.) As two women of color in this business, Tehana and Sapna were the perfect pair to have an engaging conversation about the colorism controversy surrounding the movie. In short, there's been some backlash from those who feel the movie, despite being focused on a LatinX community, had no Afro-Latino leads, a demographic that is prevalent in the Washington Heights area of New York where it takes place. The conversation we have is after the main interview and does a good job addressing both sides of the issue.

Today we have the first installment of CROSSING THE 180, an interview series on Art of the Frame in the vein of "Fresh Air." Veteran podcaster, filmmaker, author, and marketer Ron Dawson hosts this slightly irreverent podcast where he interviews filmmakers from all aspects of the craft as they share both personal and professional stories of what it means to be a professional creative. On this episode, he interviews the amazing and insanely talented DP, director, and editor, Valentina Vee. Valentina is a Emmy nominated creator who has worked on dozens of international campaigns and shows for clients like Nike, AT&T, Fujifilm, Chevrolet, MTV and more. She is also the resident pro cinematographer at Aputure and one of the few Adobe Max Ambassadors.
