i am thinking about you.

Annnd we are back(ish). Taking you all back to March 2022 when I recorded this episode with longtime friend Betty Xie. Betty is a career coach for creatives, a fundraising consultant and a filmmaker. Throughout the years, I’ve often benefited from Betty’s advice and counsel and I’m glad she has professionalized it! In this conversation, we take you back to 2012 when we first met and talked through the various film projects we worked on (and how I inspired a character in one of her projects). For the ~full experience~ you could check out the films in the links below and the photos ON THE WEBSITE (which I forgot to plug at the end of the episode).Guest Links - Betty XieWebsite: https://www.xiebetty.com/Instagram: @bettyxcoachEveryday Talent Podcast: https://www.xiebetty.com/podcastListen to me interviewing Betty on her podcast hereWatch Uprooted: The Plantemic on CBC Gem (Canada only)Watch The Home Promised (2015)Watch the Stand Up Man (2017) trailerCreditsMusic: Mayday by Jar of FliesRecorded using Zencastr and edited with Descript Hosted on Acast.

This was an episode recorded in the earlier days of the conception of this podcast in March 2022... In the episode, I caught up with singer-songwriter Gavin Sutton aka Tennyson Wolf, who introduced me to podcasts and without whom this podcast might not exist (sounds dramatic but true). We talked about how our lives intersected, the photos I’ve taken of him, friendships, making music as an independent musician and what we’ve been watching & listening. We covered quite a bit!!! There’s also a special follow-up with first guest Ammar at the end.All the photos we talked about are on the website.Guest Links - GavinGavin's Music: The Heights, Tennyson WolfListen to Gavin on producer Adam Newcomb podcast The Recording Story where they talk about the songs Lonely Walks and Yesterday’s MeMentionsJack’s Mannequin - I’m ReadyMonet Van Gogh (@professional_artist_official)Lee Pace talking about Pushing Daisies on VulturePodcast: You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes, Reply All, Aunty Donna, Dead Eyes, Mystery Show (Ep 4 Source Code), S-Town, SerialTV Shows: Pushing Daisies (starring Lee Pace and created by Bryan Fuller, who made Hannibal after!!!!), Halt and Catch Fire (AMC), Sex & the City And Just Like That (HBO), Veronica Mars, Schitt’s Creek, Ted Lasso (HBO), Mozart in the Jungle (Amazon, created by Jason Schwartzman & Roman Coppola whose name I completely forgot), Sherlock (BBC), What We Do In the Shadows (FX), Pieces of Her (Netflix, 2022)Movies: Scream (2022), The Power of the Dog (Netflix, 2022), CODA (Apple, 2022 - An Academy Best Picture!)CreditsMusic: Mayday by Jar of Flies & Tennyson Wolf “This Side of Midnight”Special Thanks: Ammar KeshodiaRecorded using Zencastr and edited with Descript Hosted on Acast.

In a special three-part series to commemorate my 30th birthday, I asked 3 friends to share their experiences of being in their 30s. In the last episode of the mini-series, I talked to friend, mentor, filmmaker and festival programmer Aram Collier about his 30s from the perspective of a 40-something and a parent. The topic of potential parenthood and relationships with our parents came up in the first two episodes so I was really excited to hear what Aram had to say and the advice he gave.If you haven't yet, please be sure to check out the first two episodes of the mini-series with MilenPS & Eunice Bae.The podcast also has a new website iamthinkingaboutyou.comGuest Links - Aram CollierToronto Reel Asian International Film FestivalStand Up ManCommon Factor MediaThe Backstory PodcastOakland Warriors PodcastCreditMusic: Mayday by Jar of FliesRecorded using Zencastr and edited with Descript Hosted on Acast.
