Ep 14: Gina Duncan
<p>In this episode, we’re talking to Gina Duncan, who I met when she ran BAM Film in Fort Greene Brooklyn, and while there partnered with my husband’s film organization Luminal Theater. It always made me feel at home at BAM to walk in and know that a Black woman was behind the scenes and making me feel seen. I don’t know when we went from Black girl head nods across the room to sister-friends texting each other about the absurdities of the work, but I am so glad we have each other these days.</p> <p><br></p> <p>As Producing Director of Sundance Institute, Gina integrates the artistic vision of the Festival with its practical elements as well and managing year-round programming and engagement among the industry and artist communities. Duncan previously served as V.P. of Film and Strategic Programming at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and was Director of Industry Engagement and Special Programs at the Jacob Burns Film Center.</p> <p><br></p> <p>This episode was recorded on April 9, 2021</p> <p>Produced by Lauren Francis</p> <p>Music by audionautix.com</p>

<p>In this episode we’re talking to Novella Ford, super connected arts maven who read my unsolicited book of poetry Weary Kingdom then invited me to come and read my poems about Harlem at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture—a dream come true. Connecting over poetry and Black culture and Black art meant that we were destined to be fast friends, and I’m excited to be in conversation around what it means to care for Black culture, make way for others, and more.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Novella Ford is a cultural producer.
