Episode 94: Heidi Philipsen, Actor, Writer, Director

March 13, 2018 by Julie Harris Oliver in DGA, entertainment, film festivals, Film & TV, hollywood, Independent Film, PGA, Politics, PTSD, theatre, WGA, women, Writers

 

Heidi is an actor, director and producer, and is currently releasing her feature film called “Darcy,” that is making its rounds on the film festival circuit and will be screening at the Socially Relevant Film Festival in NYC as the Closing Night Film on Thursday, March 22nd, 8 p.m.

Heidi has a very interesting story that takes her to Germany after college, where she got her start in television before coming back to the United States. Now a gentle word of warning. We do talk about adult themes in this episode in the #metoo genre, so if you usually listen in the car with your kids, perhaps you listen with your headphones in.

Episode 75: The Ladies Who Podcast

November 07, 2017 by Julie Harris Oliver in Diversity, entertainment, entrepreneur, Film & TV, hollywood, women

This week I did something completely different and was a guest on someone else’s podcast! “The Ladies Who” podcast is a show out of New Orleans hosted by three lovely ladies, Christa, Beth and Bishop – who also, it should be noted, work in Entertainment.  They invited me into their Red Tent for a chat.

We talked about the origins of The Other 50% and what is going on in the zeitgeist about women.  They also heard the call early last year and knew that it was the time for the ladies to start talking!

We talked about the #metoo of it all, and raising kids, and the themes that have come up during the run of The Other 50% - a Herstory of Hollywood.

And game shows. As you do.

This was really fun, they are great, and I think you will enjoy the conversation.

You can find them here: The Ladies Who.  Add them to your podcast subscription list.
