In this episode I talk with director Andrew Kightlinger. Andrew's new film "Lost on a Mountain in Maine" is set to release on November 1st, and I can't wait to dive into the story behind this heartwarming family adventure. Andrew has an impressive background in filmmaking, with credits that include the award-winning short "Destroyer" and the drama "Tater Tot and Patton." But what really drew me to this project is the film's themes of faith, family, and perseverance - values that are so important to me and the Sisterhood community. I'm excited to learn more about Andrew's creative process and why he felt this story needed to be told. Let's get started!

 

 

Questions I asked:

·      Why should people go to the movies? What drew you to this story and movie, and why are you excited about it?

·      What role does faith play in this story?

·      Was there anything challenging about this?

·      Why should people go see this movie?

·      Can you tell the audience about the interesting audition process for this film?

·      Did you have any challenges in making the movie?

·      Did Sylvester Stallone, whose production company is behind the film, visit the set?

 

Topics Discussed:

·      Filmmaking

·      Childhood

·      Adventure

·      Family

·      Faith

·      Perseverance

·      Audition

·      Filming

·      Challenges

·      Stallone

 

Quotes from the show:

·      "I'm excited because, you know, I'm, first off, I'm, you know, filmmaker, and being an artist isn't easy, and it's pretty amazing to have a movie opening up nationwide across the country."

·      "I was really interested in this idea of a kid alone in the woods, barefoot, because I related to my own childhood experiences."

·      "I always told the crew when we're making this movie, this is ultimately a movie about a boy who just wants a hug from his dad."

·      "This film is about when you're up against the odds. What do you pull from? And sometimes you pull from your love of family.

·      You pull from your own inner fortitude, whatever. But oftentimes you need something higher than yourself, and that can be your faith, that can be God, that can be whatever it is that you cling on to."

·      I'm a long distance runner. I do like, 50 Ks, and I've done 100k yet. But I, you know, I run 10 miles at least once a week, so I have the endurance already built up on me."

·      We even climbed the mountain again after the making of the movie to get asphalt footage of the storm on the mountain.

On this week's Let It Rip Friday, we're discussing a quick way to lose some weight without losing muscle!

Oct 18, 2024

On this week's Let It Rip Friday, we're actually sharing an interview with JuJu Chang before the release of the "20/20" episode.  They are now doing a special episode this Friday on the Menendez brothers. JuJu Chang is the correspondent at 9et/8ct on ABC!

Juju Chang is a multiple Emmy Award-winning co-anchor of ABC News’ “Nightline.” She also reports regularly for “Good Morning America” and “20/20.” Chang’s decades of reporting converged in two hour-long prime time specials in 2021. She co-anchored an ABC News Live special “Stop The Hate: The Rise In Violence Against Asian Americans.” And after the mass shooting at three Asian-themed spas, Chang co-anchored and reported from the scene for an “ABC News 20/20” breaking news special “Murder In Atlanta”, which won a Front Page award in 2022.
Chang has been recognized for her in-depth personal narratives set against the backdrop of pressing national and international news: from natural disasters to terrorism and racial equity. Her long-form storytelling includes a critical examination of the controversial “Remain in Mexico” immigration policy, told through the eyes of one pregnant woman and her family among the 60,000 asylum seekers camped for months along the Rio Grande. Chang’s award-winning report “Trans and Targeted” on violence against transgender women of color across the country caps a series of her stories on LGBTQ+ issues. Chang won a GLAAD award for her story about Matthew Shepard’s murder and the legacy his parents built in his honor.
 
Chang has covered major breaking news for decades for ABC News including extensive coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic: the science, the economic fallout, the racial disparities, the impact on hospital ICUs and essential workers.
Chang has covered mass shootings and the myriad issues raised by shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, at the concert in Las Vegas and at the Sandy Hook school in Newtown, Conn.
She’s reported on global climate issues including a trip through Guatemala examining the “dry corridor” impact on climate refugees profiling a desperate farming family faced with the stark choice of starvation or migration. Chang has consistently covered gender-based violence through Central Africa on the front lines against Boko Haram and #bringbackourgirls. She traveled to Honduras for “Femicide: the Untold War,” an eye-opening look at rampant violence against women.
Chang has profiled newsmakers like Joe Biden and Oprah Winfrey as well as high-profile celebrities including Jamie Lynn Spears, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Her extensive feature reporting covers mental illness, opioid addictions and parenting dilemmas.
A former news anchor for “Good Morning America,” Chang joined ABC News just after college as an entry-level desk assistant in 1987 and rose to become a producer for “World News Tonight.” After reporting for KGO-TV in San Francisco and the ABC News affiliate service NewsOne in Washington, she co-anchored the overnight show “World News Now.” Chang’s work has been recognized with numerous awards, including multiple Emmys, Gracies, a DuPont, a Murrow and Peabody Awards.
Born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised in Northern California, Chang graduated with honors from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Arts in political science and communication. She is married to WNET president and CEO Neal Shapiro and, together, they have three sons. Chang is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a founding board member of the Korean American Community Foundation.
