   Jodylynn Talevi in Connecticut: Graphic Designer & Songwriter

   How do you juggle graphic design with songwriting? Jodylynn Talevi knows how, and in this episode, she is sharing her journey to create a career that combines both passions, using her connections right here in Connecticut. From magazine and album covers to film and television soundtracks, Jodylynn has a talent for bringing together a lot of moving parts and then sculpting these pieces into a cohesive whole; and while “less is more”, I think you’ll find that there is indeed so much more to learn about this unique Connecticut creative’s perspective, as we talk about her graphic design, listen to some of her music, and laugh about the challenges artists still face today as they pursue their craft.

   Jon Cruz in Connecticut: Filmmaker, Activist, and Storyteller

   While racism is still alive and well, even in the Nutmeg state, award-winning filmmaker Jon Cruz refuses to back down from his mission to educate and inspire through the art of storytelling. In this episode, we talk about Jon’s lived experience as creator of color in Connecticut, why he transitioned from acting to directing, and how he came up with the idea for his latest film “Midnight”, a psychological horror film about performance, inheritance, and the quiet violence of assimilation. With this story, he’s asking each and every one of us: what parts of ourselves were we taught to shrink? Who built the stage? And what does it cost to step away?

    Alec Asten in Connecticut: Filmmaker, VP of CT Film & TV Alliance & AI Creator

    From stop-motion toy dinosaur re-enactments to sweeping helicopter action sequences, award-winning filmmaker Alec Asten is here to talk about how he ended up (back) in Connecticut, how he once made a black-and-white prison break film with no less than 17 live rats, and why he thinks AI can be a tool to help creators without access to big budgets. We’ll see if he can convince us! Alec’s production company is Firesite Films, where he has been creating award winning videos for over thirty years.

    Georgia Reed in Connecticut - Actor, Comedian, Creator

    As the host of “Georgia in Connecticut”, what better way to get to know me, a fellow Connecticut Creative, than to put me directly in the hot seat, answering the very questions I’ll be asking future guests? In this episode, my Partner in Crime (and co-producer) Tom Sorensen talks with me about why we decided to move from Los Angeles, California all the way to Middletown, Connecticut, what inspired me to start this podcast series, and how I keep myself motivated as a multi-hyphenate creator to keep going in the face of (perceived) defeat. From film and television to the stage and the page, I’m looking forward to highlighting Connecticut’s rich variety of talent. Because, We’re Here, Dammit!
