In an industry where less than 10% of women produce or direct films, it’s refreshing to see someone like Miriam Pultro hammer away at the glass ceiling and build a platform for creative storytelling with “Mythos”. The critically acclaimed web series, which has been nominated and won numerous industry accolades, is the classic mythological tale of a hero’s journey based on mortality, family, love and fate.

American Idol XIII: Top 9 Band Together
Last week we saw the Top 9 take on the theme “I’m With The Band”. I’m still unclear what this theme meant for song choice, but I did enjoy having Rickey Minor and the band up front with the contestants. For some, it brought out the best in them and for some, it did nothing […]
The Bomb Girls Are Back!
Throughout history, women have always been fighters. We’ve fought to be educated, to go to work, and for the right to vote. So when the fate of their show was announced last spring, the ladies of Bomb Girls didn’t take their series cancellation lying down. They fought back.
American Idol XIII: Top 10 Perform – Billboard or Boredom?
Normally I would revel in a theme that would force the contestants to pick modern songs or ones that hadn’t been done on the show before, but this season we haven’t really been having that problem. Still, this week’s theme forced our contestants to show they could be current and relevant to today’s music scene. […]
A Little Daunted: “Divergent”
It must be really difficult to make a movie based off of a wildly popular book, especially when that book is the first of a series. There is a lot to manage. The writers, the actors, the director all have to find the right balance between being true to a story that already has rabid […]
American Idol XIII: Top 11 Perform – Movies and Shakers
After a sleepy night of performances during the Top 12, the judges were fired up and trying to push the contestants harder to deliver better performances. So, naturally, I was pretty pumped myself to see if they could live up to the challenge during the Top 11 “Songs of the Cinema” theme. Perhaps the most […]
“Veronica Mars”: Is There Still Life On Mars?
It’s been 7 years since we left our blonde teenage private investigator (played by the lovely Kristen Bell) wandering through the rain in Southern California; and after a record setting Kickstarter campaign only a year ago, show creator Rob Thomas and the cast brought her back to us for a cheap (by movie standards) fan-funded […]
American Idol XIII: Top 12 Performances – Home Run or Heading Home?
Perhaps it’s exactly what Harry said during the results show this week. Maybe mentor Randy Jackson just isn’t spending enough time to these kids to make sure they give the best possible performances they can. On Wednesday night the judges honesty, if inconsistent, seemed to drag the show down. I appreciate them giving feedback to […]

More Than A Sharp Pair of Stilettos: BANSHEE’s Hoon Lee
I love television—I always have. I love being swept up in a story and having the opportunity to get to know captivating characters, to get to return to their lives week after week. As I’ve gotten older and started to explore film-making myself, my appreciation for shows that take risks has really grown. I admire […]
American Idol XIII: Top 13 Performances – “This Is Me”
After a rushed Rush Week, I didn’t know what to expect coming in this week’s show. Would the talent we saw in the Auditions and (somewhat) in Hollywood Week finally shine again or would we get another sloppy set of performances where we were forced to pick the best in a bunch of mediocre performances. […]
