"Tape" - a Cry for Help During MeToo Movement Era

I had the chance and honor to see the film "Tape" by female director Deborah Kampmeier. Her bravery and courage to make a film and share a story that speaks to millions of women in the midst of the MeToo era is admirable. The film is raw, real and provocative and true to the core.

In 'Tape" you will see the emotional turmoil, pain and embarrassment that women actors go through when taken advantage of physically and emotionally, and how men get away with it in most cases. Yes the truth is ugly and scary and uncomfortable but if we don't stand up for injustice, who will? It is our job to speak up, support one another and fight, stand up for what is right. If you see something, say something! Speak up, fight and make a change.

The film is based on true events and reveals what Annarosa Mudd (producer and actress in the film) went through and how her suffering turned into a film that has become a movement for change. Her pain and bravery to share her story with the rest of the world is admirable and inspiring.

This is the story of the film (tapethemovie.com):

"Based on true events and set in New York City, TAPE is the story of two aspiring actresses who cross paths with the darker side of the entertainment industry. TAPE follows Rosa (Annarosa Mudd), an actress who, in order to inspire her own courage, pierces her tongue, cuts her wrists, and shaves her head, as a ritualistic homage to Shakespeare’s Lavinia from Titus Andronicus, and secretly places hidden cameras on her body as well as in a dark studio. Rosa begins to stalk another actress, Pearl (Isabelle Fuhrman), who she identifies as the next “protege” of a successful producer, Lux (Tarek Bishara). But as Pearl and Lux enter the targeted studio, and Rosa collects and edits footage, she, and we, must all sit through an endless day of Lux’s screen test process, and the grey areas of pressure that women experience when being coerced by a powerful man. As Rosa peers into her own past experiences playing out before her eyes, she is forced to question whether her revenge-fueled goal of revealing what goes on behind these closed doors is worth what it takes to do so."

The film also stars Isabelle Fuhrman whose performance is incredible, emotional and deeply moving. She stars alongside Mudd and both of them bring the film to another level of discomfort, reality, truth, and a plea for change.

I recommend that everyone sees the film "Tape" and keeps the MeToo conversation going to help provide a safer and healthier working environment for all women, some of which still remain in the shadows of abuse, control, manipulation and rape.

EXCLUSIVE interview with Director Rick Alverson - "The Mountain"

Courtesy Kino Lorber

"The Mountain" is a film directed by Rick Alverson that takes place in 1950s America. This is the plot that takes place in the film: "Since his mother's confinement to an institution, Andy has lived in the shadow of his stoic father. A family acquaintance, Dr. Wallace Fiennes, employs the introverted young man as a photographer to document an asylum tour advocating for his increasingly controversial lobotomy procedure. As the tour progresses and Andy witnesses the doctor's career and life unravel, he begins to identify with the institutions' patients. Arriving at a California mountain town, a growing center of the New Age movement, they encounter an unconventional French healer who requests a lobotomy for his own daughter, Susan." The film stars Jeff Goldblum, Tye Sheridan and Hannah Gross. It opens in NY and LA on July 26.

I was eager and excited to talk to the director about the visuals in the film, the mood, the topic of mental illness, the history behind lobotomy and most of all about him.

Rick Alverson

Why did you decide to work on “The Mountain” film? What shook you to the core about this film that you said - yes I want to direct it? 
The subject matter interests me. These things evolve and they are difficult to get made. It's a reactive and reflexive sort of thing that evolves and changes especially the subject matter and the architecture as a historic character and leaving all of the narrative work and taking away most of the information and creating a fiction out of that. My own history. It's an evolving experiment.

What childhood or teenage memories do you remember that played part in your vision of the film? 
When Andy walks in a room covered with pornography with a hermaphrodite as a platonic ideal. It is a recreation event that happened to me as a child. There are foundational elements like that. I was interested in the ghost between interior life, exterior life and the social life that took that a step further - the ghost between the audience and the experience of the film. I talk about how this goal is so conveniently a bridge between this protagonist and his worldview. We use them as avatars and explore the world. I wonder if it's problematic or secretive and we go and have these exceptions when the world is full of limitations. We engineered him to be an instruction.

There were quite a lot of artistic forms in the film, such as the way the ice skaters danced, the mountain, the french healer's vision of art, among others. What was the intent with the art forms and artistic filming that you were trying to achieve and convey?
I am trying to bring and highlight the fact that films and narratives are used as convenient  mechanisms and the messages are curious of our social conundrum. We are such a contender of society. The problems of social media were reliable links during the 2016 elections. That happens in the cinema. The formal and artificial of this movie  is meant to engage us with a two dimensional event of watching a fantasy and I want to ask questions more than anything.

Tell me about working with Jeff Goldblum and Tye Sheridan. How did you approach them for the part and what did you tell them to do beforehand in order to dive into their characters?
They are both incredibly generous people and actors and they wanted to be engaged in the project. There is a certain amount of curiosity that is necessary to do a film like this. We talked a lot about the approach and I am a very physical director using blocking and tonality. I am not as interested in the content but more the way that it is said.

We see more and more stories written nowadays about mental illness. Unfortunately, we don’t see enough films about mental illness. Why do you think that is and as a director what was the hardest part about doing a mental illness film like this? 
The biggest challenge was the representation of that. It is obscene to dramatize for the enjoyment of the audience the environment and experience of mental illness. For that to move over to dramatic intoxication to an audience is something for us to consume as absence and disservice in this state. I move in the opposite direction. The institutions look like wax museums. Those places were hell halls back in the century. When dealing with that subject matter it is out of respect for that place and thing. There is an element of the experience in watching the film. I am happy when people say I feel like I have been lobotomized. It is more of an experience than being a witness.

Why did you choose to have a French character with a mental illness? Did you have to do a lot of research about lobotomy beforehand?
I am hesitant to explain why. A lot of things go into the ultimate threshold and decision to put or not that contributed. I think that the arrival of Jack in the film is consonant with the altering events with lobotomy of the protagonist and the protagonist's change. I think too often in the audience being engaged in a coherent meaningful way or being in a relationship with the protagonist as someone on the street is not a convenient consumption of truth.

What is the relationship between mental illness and love that we see in the film?
I think of the film as a love story and a desperate muted numb connection between these two individuals. There is no arrival in something that is petaled and reinforced for our amusement, which was conditioned in passivity by Hollywood cinema for along time. My favorite films don't have arrival or finality and they are consistent with our experience as human beings. It is really important to have films in what is left in the contemporary wisdom of this problematic certainty. 

You also co-wrote the script for "The Mountain." What was the hardest part in writing the script and what else are you working on and your message to everyone reading this? 
Me and Jeff did a lot of research on lobotomy and Fiennes' procedure. It is relative of people who have the procedure but ultimately it is not a historic recreation or pretending to be a reenactment of those events but its a two dimensional picture of using that subject matter. I am working on a project on a 12 Century next. Message? I hope we can be open.

Great new short film on Amazon Prime - "Alive" directed by Luis Iga

This past week I had the chance to see a really fun and interesting short film called "Alive" directed by Luis Iga ("Murder in the Woods"). The film was part of All Voices Film Festival on Amazon Prime, which ends on June 24. Even though the film was only 15 minutes long it was enough time to show concepts such as love, betrayal, romance, hurt and important life choices. I found the film simple on the outside but yet rather complex on the inside and with a very surprising and provocative ending. I absolutely recommend it!

The film's synopsis:"Alive" follows the story of Gabriel, a Mexican immigrant and Alison an American woman, both in their mid-twenties that meet in a shared ride service and fall in love. Life throws them a curve-ball that will define their destiny. With an abstract and artistic ending the audience will be the judge of their fate. The film stars Pepe Gamez and Samantha Miller.

I spoke with the director about the film as I was in deep thought about the ending and wanted to know more. This is what he said to me:

"Pepe Gamez came to me with this story and I connected with it since my first girlfriend was from the USA and it was a big lesson for me on how different the two cultures are. In Mexico when a girl breaks up with you, you chase her to get her back. They like that because it demonstrates that you are really interested. In the USA if you do that you’ll get a restraining order. It was very hard for Pepe and myself to understand how someone can be loving you one day and be cold and distant the next. In the USA you have to let it be and hopefully she will realize or not what she has lost. Pepe and I wrote the story together based on his idea. We shot the film in four days with minimal budget and favors from friends. It is such a complex topic to be tackled in only fifteen minutes, that’s why we left the ending open," Luis Iga.

Katy Lynch - a Powerful Female Entrepreneur and the Founder of Codeverse Chicago

Katy Lynch Ulliott

I found an amazing coding place for kids in Chicago, Codeverse, founded by an inspiring female entrepreneur Katy Lynch Ulliott. I wanted to know more about Katy's work and share what I found with you - my readers. 

Tell me a bit about your background. What inspired you to get into the technical career path and was this something you always wanted to do? 

I am originally from Scotland, but moved to Chicago in 2007. I landed my first gig at a travel startup called Where I’ve Been. That was really where I developed my love for startups and the Chicago tech community. When Where I’ve Been was acquired in 2010, I co-founded SocialKaty, an agency that specialized in social media marketing. Four years later, SocialKaty was acquired and I moved on to become the CEO of Techweek, the largest traveling technology festival in the country. Now, I am the CMO and co-founder of Codeverse. To be completely honest, I never thought I’d be a serial entrepreneur. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life until I worked at a tech startup. I find modern, innovative technology fascinating and have surrounded myself with technologists (and tech founders) since!

In the midst of the MeToo movement how does it feel to be a female entrepreneur especially in Chicago? Have you faced any obstacles when dealing with male entrepreneurs? Is it an advantage or disadvantage being a female? 

I’m very fortunate to be living in city with so many talented women (and men!) Chicago is such a wonderful place to start a business, and there are so many great resources here for women, specifically. Although I have not personally faced obstacles as a female entrepreneur, I have heard many stories from friends who have been treated unfairly, which is infuriating. The good news is, thanks to MeToo and several other key movements, discrimination of any kind is being called out publicly and not tolerated by both women and men!

You founded Codeverse, an incredible and much needed place for kids. I wish I had that growing up. How did you get the idea and what did it take to build such an empire? What does it take to sustain it?

The idea originated from “Code: Debugging the Gender Gap,” a documentary that I saw during Techweek LA. The documentary’s theme centered around the lack of minorities and women in STEM. It inspired Craig and I to do a lot of research on the current landscape of kids coding products. Building Codeverse from nothing was no small feat. We spent months researching and hiring incredible talent (as well as vendors and edtech advisors!) to work with us. We conducted numerous surveys with parents, and tested our software - KidScript - with kids.

Tell us about Codeverse and how is this the future for our kids in this day and age? How can more parents benefit from these classes? What do kids learn in these classes? 

Codeverse is awesome! We’ve built the world’s first fully interactive coding studio and tech platform designed specifically for kids ages 6-13. Our studios are riddled with cutting-edge technology (such as concert-hall lights, robot arms, and speakers), which can be programmed by the kids. In addition to hacking the studio, kids build unique apps and games which can be shared with their friends and family. Kids begin learning the universal concepts of coding. Once they have mastered these concepts, they begin to learn more advanced concepts, which they can incorporate into their apps and games. Craig and I are big believers that in this digital day and age, every kid should learn to code. Beyond technical skills, coding builds confidence, encourages collaboration, inspires creativity, and teaches kids how to problem solve.

You are an inspiration to all of us. Can you tell us what a typical day is like for you and what does it take to be successful in this industry? 

In all honesty, every day is different, but I spend most of my time working on Codeverse scholarships, video production and editing, PR, and business development. It takes a lot of hard work, persistence, risk-taking, patience, and confidence to be successful in any industry - not just edtech!

What motivates you and how do you balance life and career? You look great, you are successful, and you do so much. How do you manage to be great at everything you do? 

When I launched my first business, SocialKaty, I was stressed most of the time. This stress came from my lack of time management skills. I’m very deliberate now when it comes where I spend my time and who I spend my time with. Google Calendar is a lifesaver. All of my appointments, dinners with friends, travels, etc are planned in there. It keeps me sane and on track!

What advice do you have for all of us? 
Take more risks. Working with kids has opened my eyes to just how risk-averse adults really are. We are afraid of failure and it holds us back from pursuing what we want!

What's next for you? You seem to have done so much already. What is next on your to do and wish list? 

Our 30-year mission is to teach a billion kids to code, so, I plan on working on Codeverse for life! The only other thing I really want to do, in my personal life, is have kids and eventually, sail around the world!

Who is the biggest supporter in your life? They say it takes a strong woman behind every successful man but who does it take behind a successful woman? 

Honestly, Craig is my biggest supporter. Aside from being my husband, he has been the best mentor to me and has provided me with so much invaluable advice about business. My other supporters really include my family and friends. They have followed my entrepreneurial journey since the beginning!

Do you volunteer and what charities and non-profits do you support?

I am a huge believer in the benefits of “paying it forward” so I love meeting and mentoring other entrepreneurs (especially first-time entrepreneurs) in the Chicago tech community. I have been involved with Chicago Innovation’s Women’s Mentoring Co-Op for quite some time and love it! With Codeverse, I also have the opportunity to work with a lot of great non-profits, including By The Hand, Girl Scouts, iF Charities, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and After-School All-Stars - to name a few!

Nicole Quattrocki - The Face Behind Fix Chicago

“The real warriors in this world are the ones that see the details of another's soul. They see the transparency behind walls people put up. They stand on the battlefield of life and expose their heart's transparency, so other's can finish the day with hope. They are the sensitive souls that understand that before they could be a light they first had to feel the burn.”
― Shannon L. Alder

If you were looking to get involved with a local charity organization and you love dogs, Fix Chicago is the perfect match. Nicole Quattrocki is the founder of Fix Chicago, which is a not-for-profit organization changing the system and root problems to save all dogs and cats not just one at a time. The organization supports rescues and shelters but it is forming community based solutions in underserved areas to help keep dogs and cats out of the already full shelters.

Tell us a bit about your background: 
I am a creative entrepreneur who started out going to school for design at Columbia College. I worked in fashion, hospitality and education, but I believe all previous experiences both personally and professionally led me to live my purpose - Fix Chicago.

What inspired you to start Fix Chicago?
I started Fix Chicago after a few years of volunteering in the community and understanding how our shelter system was operating. Last July, there was a lot of attention in the community regarding lack of transparency since our then previous mayor had fired Susan Russell who seemed to have tremendous buy in from the rescue community and was doing a great job at lifesaving. I began learning about root problems and lack of transparency that continued to contribute to us still killing our Chicago shelter animals and had to do something about it.

What is your personal story with animal killing and how you relate to it? 
I adopted two of my rescue dogs from a government owned and operated open admissions shelter over a decade ago. Prior to adopting them I was oblivious to what it was like to own a bully breed and to what conditions were inside the very shelter in which I saved my girls. Through education years later I realized the shelter in Missouri where Gigi and Kyah came from at the time were killing 7 out of every 10 animals under their care and had no life saving programs in place for getting animals out and helping to prevent them from coming in. I couldn’t help but think so often that if I didn’t get them out that day they would have been killed.

What did it take you to create Fix Chicago? 
Everything! I gave up my personal life to build the foundation for Fix Chicago. Every day I would come home from my corporate job in education and work until bed on Fix Chicago.

How can others get involved? 
Please fill out a form on https://www.fix-chicago.org/volunteer-1 .
We are always looking for professional volunteers with government affairs knowledge, policy, marketing and/or fundraising and will be recruiting more boots on the ground volunteers for future events and community outreach we begin doing at the end of this year (2019) and early next.

This is the photo contest we need people to contribute to and vote for so we can run a campaign for our Chicago shelter dogs on the CTA: https://www.gogophotocontest.com/fixchicago
