Lj Presents: The Revolution

This Week I have filmmakers Celia Peters, Hilton J Day, Benjamin Mullholland, and comedienne Ambitious Mae. The Guests talked about being black and on a film set and also what it would take to make stories not only from an Africentric point of view but taking it to the world stage (or screen) as we discussed the possibilities of making films about prominent historical figures from ancient Egypt and the African continent. I definitely enjoyed catching up with these wonderful people. Enjoy!

Before he began his career as a news commentator for RT's Watching the Hawks he began making short films and being a part of a few independent features. His training for all this came from real world experience as he worked for academy award winner Sean Penn as his personal assistant. It was there that he began to learn from veteran filmmakers like Clint Eastwood and Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

From there he relocated to Los Angeles Ca where he produced tv shows like Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura and the films: The Wanderers, American Rescue Squad, and my short film The Rage.

The Fight against AB 5 With Bekka Fink and Special Guests

The controversial bill AB 5 became law the first of the new year. The bill, aimed at gig economy giants such as Uber, Lyft, Postmates, and Door Dash, was a means to bring contracted associates as regular employees with full benefits that any other employee would receive. However this law did not think of most associates who want the freedom of being a contracted employee and therefore are in opposition of AB 5. Also. This law not only goes after Gig jobs it threatens the livelihood of small business owners, artists and other sole proprietary positions where people are just getting started to pave their own path in the business world. Today we have four people who oppose this law and are looking to have it overturned.

LjPresents: Annegret Steioff

Annegret Steioff is an actress comedian and has been featured in many short films from her home country and now she’s making a name for herself in the U.S.

Annegret was born and raised in a tiny German town that always smelled like burnt chocolate. Until she was three years old she lived with a Turkish Muslim immigrant family because her mom decided she would rather smell the roses. She was a florist. Annegret was supposed to take over the family business but she decided to go to university instead. If only she had chosen something REAL like Law, Agriculture or backpiping. Instead she got her BA in Acting, WON (!) the green card and moved to the us. Annegret gets her humor from her dad who was once approached about not cutting his grass and decided to bulldozer the garden, fill it with concrete and paint it green. That's also how Annegret learned about concrete burn.

Check out some of her stuff by following the links below.
