“This career essentially chased me down while I was on the spoken-word scene in New York. I kept hearing that my delivery of my poetry - which was very personal and cathartic at the time- was very moving to folks. People thought that I was an actress because of my delivery, when I was just dropping into the work and really pouring out my soul.” PeopleSoulMovingCareersNew YorkSceneFolksHearingActressesMy SoulDroppingDeliveryPouringSpoken WordCatharticVery Moving Author:Sonja Sohn

“In an old model, the way a film would imprint itself on the public's consciousness is to get a theatrical run. But now there are more documentaries and more films in general being released than ever before. There are weeks when the New York Times is reviewing 15 films, so it's harder to leave an impression on the public. A lot of these films are seeing their financial future on digital platforms. Because viewers aren't hearing as much about films in theatrical release, I think the festival circuit is going to have increasing importance for the life of a film.” ThinkingWayRunningFilmConsciousnessSeeingWeekNew YorkModelsImportanceHarderFinancialHearingImpressionReleaseDigitalPlatformsViewersDocumentariesFestivalsNew York TimesTheatricalCircuits Author:Thom Powers
