Thrilled to share this inspiring and electric convo with Dr. Rachel Raimist. Rachel is an episodic television director and college professor who’s recently directed episodes of the family fantasy THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES (Disney+), the musical UP HERE (Hulu) and the soapy drama SEX/LIFE (Netflix). She has also directed beloved episodes of THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS (HBO Max), WU-TANG: AN AMERICAN SAGA (Hulu), FANTASY ISLAND (Fox), and DIARY OF A FUTURE PRESIDENT (Disney+).
We are opening up the aperture and hearing from other disciplines on what they think makes an exceptional producer, so tune in!
Her journey is a masterclass in rolling with the punches…and her resilience is inspiring to say the least. She’s one of those people you can talk to for hours and never run out of things to say. I hope you enjoy and get as much out of our conversation as I did.
Takeaways!
The importance of a supportive community
So much of the directing process happens before you set foot on set
The environment you foster on set is just as important as your talent and skill

This week, host Carolina Groppa and Associate Producer Sarah Bockian celebrate Women's History Month, Carolina takes us behind the scenes of her panel discussion with Melinda Gates and we explore how AI could empower women and people of color.

Delighted to share this very special episode with the incredible lady that is Judalina Neira. I’ve been lucky to call her a friend for many years. We met during the early days of our LA journey and now she’s a very impressive Emmy nominated writer/producer known for her work on critically acclaimed shows THE BOYS, DAISY JONES AND THE SIX and THE FLASH.
She is currently bringing BEWITCHED back to life on our TV screens in the not-too-distant future.
Judalina is also a proud alum of the ABC/NBC/National Hispanic Media Coalition’s TV Writing Program, NBC’s Writers on the Verge and the WGA Showrunner Training Program. Judalina is a Governor Emeritus for The Television Academy's Writers Peer Group.
One of the things I love most about her is how she continues to give back…case in point, she is also the co-founder of La Lista - a Latina TV Writers’ brunch broup in LA.
