Salvador Perez’s work is very diverse. Most recently he was on Hocus Pocus 2 but he has designed for many TV series including CASTLE, VERONICA MARS, NEVER HAVE I EVER, THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS, and 6 Seasons of THE MINDY PROJECT where he was nominated for an Emmy for costume design. Salvador has also worked on movies PITCH PERFECT 1, 2 and 3, THINK LIKE A MAN 1 and 2, and MEN OF HONOR. Born and raised in Central California, Perez moved to Los Angeles to attend The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising to pursue a career in fashion design. Once other Costume Designers discovered his costume manufacturing talents, he began running the costume workrooms and assisting on films like TITANIC, THE FLINTSTONES, and BARB WIRE. Outside of film and TV, Salvador designed and developed the “Movie Legends Line” for the J. Peterman Catalogue, he designed a line of Jewelry for Bauble Bar, and designed a signature line of colorful coats for GILT.COM.

205: All improv feature film with director Chelsea Bo & actor Ava Acres

205: All improv feature film with director Chelsea Bo & actor Ava Acres

*THIS FILM IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANY STRUCK COMPANY*

Meet: Chelsea Bo, the writer/director/actor of NO RIGHT WAY. She has a theater and improv background and graduated from Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film & Television and was selected for both Film Independent’s Incubator Lab and Village Roadshow’s Emerging Talent Program. Chelsea co-founded the production company Paxeros with her husband/producing partner Sean Drummond, and together they have produced three feature films, including Joshua Leonard’s Fully Realized Humans (Tribeca, 2020) and Sarah Adina Smith’s The Drop (Tribeca, 2022). No Right Way is her feature directorial debut.


Meet: Ava Acres star of NO RIGHT WAY. Ava is one of Hollywood's most versatile young actors. She played "Madeline" in AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL, young "Queen Regina" in ABC's ONCE UPON A TIME, and recurred as young "Rebecca" in CW's award winning musical comedy CRAZY EX GIRLFRIEND. Ava's recent credits include a recurring role on Ryan Murphy's 9-1-1 (Fox), HANDSOME: A NETFLIX MURDER MYSTERY, and WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER: TEN YEARS LATER. Ava can also be seen as the evil supervillain Katya in MARVEL's AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D., and appeared in season 7 of MAD MEN as Susie. Ava played a young Shailene Woodley in WHITE BIRD IN A BLIZZARD (Gregg Araki, dir.), and Daniel Bruhl's daughter in the feature film FACE OF AN ANGEL (Michael Winterbottom, dir.) She starred in Ron Howard produced short film EVERMORE, played Naya Rivera's daughter in the thriller AT THE DEVIL'S DOOR (Nicholas McCarthy, dir.), and played the lead role in a short directed by Demi Moore for Lifetime's FIVE - an anthology of short films exploring the impact of breast cancer. In one of her earliest film roles, Ava shared the screen with Academy Award winner Anna Paquin in the feature FREE RIDE (Shana Betz, dir.). Other television work includes a TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE pilot for CBS, a series regular role on the Fox comedy pilot OUTNUMBERED, roles on WEEDS, HARRY'S LAW, CRIMINAL MINDS, and more. Ava enjoys singing, piano, ukulele, dance (jazz, hip hop), and is an avid writer.

TAGLINE:Different moms, same baggage.

LOGLINE:A pair of half-sisters try to make each other whole when calamity strikes.

SYNOPSIS:Georgie, a brazen 13-year-old, has her life uprooted when she’s thrust into the guardianship of her half-sister Harper and torn away from her life in Vegas. Harper sees this turbulent time as a window of opportunity to pave a brighter future for her half-sister, but Harper’s self-righteous attempts to protect Georgie only lead to exposing their paralleled childhood wounds.

193: Actor Solomon Hughes from HBO's WINNING TIME (plays Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)

193: Actor Solomon Hughes from HBO's WINNING TIME (plays Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)

This podcast was recorded BEFORE the SAG-AFTRA strike on June 1st, 2023.

Solomon portrays Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on HBO’s WINNING TIME: THE RISE OF THE LAKERS DYNASTY!!!

Sweet Santa Barbara Brown

In the Reagan era of 1983, a group of famous pro basketball players stroll through sunny Santa Barbara. Amidst the warm rays of the sun and the indulgence of ice cream, tensions arise among teammates, fueled by their divergent perspectives on progress for black people in America. Meanwhile flawed decisions made by local police officers set in motion events that will thrust the men into a scenario where they will face lethal consequences. This short film, "Sweet Santa Barbara Brown," explores the collision of race, celebrity, and life-or-death choices against the backdrop of a picturesque beach town.
Producer/writer
Solomon Hughes is an actor from HBO's Winning Time about the Los Angeles Lakers.

A native New Yorker, Craig T. Williams is a writer/producer/editor at Red Wall Productions, a film production company he founded over twenty years ago with his wife and partner of 21 years, Rosalyn Coleman Williams. Together they have created over 50 film projects including features, documentaries and narrative short films.

Currently Craig is a part of the writing staff on the third season of the TV show “TERROR LAKE DRIVE”  on ALLBLK, an AMC Streamer. Craig just completed production of “GAME NITE” a feature film he wrote and produced, directed by Tony Award Winner Tonya Pinkins and starring Shamika Cotton and Jamie Lincoln Smith.


Craig was part of the prestigious 2021-22 WarnerMedia Discovery Discovery Access Writers Program (formerly the HBO All Access Writers Program.) Chosen one of 20 writers from over four thousand applicants, he created an original 30-minute TV Pilot. 


Craig has many scripts in various stages of development including the award winning one-hour TV pilot “How Ya Like Me Now,” about the ‘80s rap rivalry between Kool Moe Dee and LL Cool J, “Christmas In The Dollhouse, a Movie Musical and a 30-minute dramedy inspired by his mother finding her long lost sister when they were both in their 60’s. His latest TV pilot “Call Me Daddy” has won praises from Gail Lerner (EP Blackish, Will and Grace) Liz Garcia (Showrunner, P-Valley) and Diane Ruggerio-Wright (Showrunner, iZombie, Veronica Mars.)


He’s most excited about the upcoming feature film he’s producing “Weapons For Peace” that has  Academy Award nominee Judd Hirsch and Yaya Dacosta attached. That film will shoot in Paris and Dublin this summer.  Another feature film he wrote and is producing “Hanging By A Thread” has Academy Award Winner Viola Davis attached as Executive Producer and is projected to shoot early 2024. 


Craig is a huge proponent of educating screenwriters in a way that will empower them to write the stories they want to tell. He’s taught writing for Film and TV at Wesleyan University. He has led workshops and seminars for educational institutions and film festivals around the country. Upcoming, The Essence Film Festival in New Orleans (July 2023). He’s a mentor for Women of Color Unite’s Mentorship Program, The Craft Institute, and for teen filmmakers at Reel Works Mentorship Program in Brooklyn. Craig single handedly runs the Facebook group, Black Screenwriters, with over twenty thousand members.


Craig and his extraordinarily beautiful and patient wife Rosalyn have a spirited 18 year old son and they make their life in the heart of New York City.
