Interview with Hop Donki

Image
    Hop Donki, my readers will not know you. Can you tell us about yourself? From 2003 till 2013 I directed a printed magazine in my home country Colombia. It mainly covered the Colombian war against its indigenous Nations and small farmers communities. In 2012 I decided to transition into musical activism. Last month I released “43”, my first music video on YouTube. The song’s title refers to a group of 43 indigenous students who got tortured and chopped by CIA trained Mexican Army troops.  Hop Donki, you have put out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKdXDzNldqE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1xh4HQYjGyMeffBa80k3VTTieQBylN6-TyZ8bTo32TvR0Zd8r57iF9PZY are there more to come? Yes, I’m working on my second music video. It will be released in December or January 2021. It’s about the ongoing anti monarchy movements in Thailand, Spain and the UK. Hop Donki, I know you have been censored so I am asking you to tell your story about that. My Journalistic work in Colombia was ...

Ms. Adut, could you give a personal story that you wished everyone knew that would make them know what makes you. Well, you. I didn’t have an easy life. Pretty much like fairytales really, I was first raised like a little princess. I had a happy childhood loving movies and my dad’s video camera to play with. Then I grew...

Interview with Sean Foster

 Sean Foster, thanks for accepting this interview. My reader or readers depending on the day will not know you. Can you tell us about yourself? Were you an actor, editor, producer, writer, for your short film? I'm pictured on the left during our final day of production. I'm the writer / director / editor / gaffer / sound guy and dress for comfort. I'm a computer nerd that loves movies. At 30 I started producing my own short films. I'm 37 now and it took me two years to produce my latest 10 minute short film. It's a special film for one big reason. I could sit down right now and watch it twenty times in a row and no part of me would want to change a single frame anywhere in the entire film. This is possible only because I spent an entire year in post production, I have seen this 10 minute movie over a thousand times and I've spent so many hundreds upon hundreds of hours editing it just to take out a half second here or frame over there. It's only a ten minute...

Interview followup with Marcia Squier candidate for Senate for the state of Michigan

Image
    Follow up with Marcia Squier - https://endertalon.blogspot.com/2020/10/interview-with-marcia-squier-candidate.html 1.Professional wise, being a senator means making bills. What bill would you sponsor that would help United States citizens the most?  I believe a GI Bill for All with a community service option would help a tremendous amount of people, but ending the failed war on drugs, retroactivity legalizing cannabis and decriminalizing drug use, by repealing the Controlled Substances Act, would probably help the most people all across the board, not just those seeking health insurance and a higher education. These 2 things combined would be beneficial to everyone overall. 2.How would you write a bill to make into a law to audit where 23 trillion dollars in the US military be recovered? I would like to write a bill that appropriates and limits funding to ⅓ of the total budget to each of the 3 branches of government. Our current model of 50+% is top-heavy, unsustainab...

Interview with Raj Jawa

  Raj Jawa, thanks for accepting this interview. My reader or readers depending on the day will not know you. Can you tell us about yourself? Actor, editor, producer, writer, etc. Thank you very much for having me on to be interviewed here. I am an all-rounder in film and video production but I tend to focus and be energized by the aspects that I do as an actor and performer. I’ve been a principal or supporting actor in quite a few productions over the years, these days I’m largely entertaining through my video game livestreams of games by independent developers. Recently I was fortunate enough to have a small speaking role in the upcoming Free Guy from 20th Century. I’ve produced seven short films as well as a feature film and a handful of comedy sketches. I’ve directed, I’ve written, I’ve edited, I’ve made music, I’ve been my entire crew, and I’ve helped out colleagues in various production positions throughout my career. I feel well-versed in coordinating all parts of a film sho...
