    Uncreative Radio with Noel Elie - F*ck'd Up But Beautiful

    “I always thought that I would be very angry at God and so bitter and robbed but I saw the silver lining. There was so much beauty in it.”   We’re on Uncreative Radio with Noel Elie. Noel is an actress, filmmaker, director, writer, and CEO of Noel Elie Productions. She has appeared on television shows like Dynasty, Shark Tank, Blue Bloods, and Shades of Blue. Noel is now working on a book that honors her mother’s legacy all while building one of her own.   In this Episode of Uncreative Radio, Noel shares the heartbreak she endured during and after her mother passed away from cancer. Through this pain, she was able to find resilience and grace that amplified her love for acting. From this, she began booking more jobs and “allowing the grief to hit whenever.”  Losing her best friend was the hardest thing Noel had ever experienced. Looking back, she laments at the memory of her mother asking her to be present with her while Noel was on her phone answering emails or posting on Instagram. Noel felt guilt in a way it freed her and through her experience, Noel gained a new perspective on life. She began posting less on social media, shifted her complete focus towards acting, and began writing a book to encapsulate her journey.   “For me, I’ve now experienced how short life is and I want my song to be heard and her song to be heard.”  For more original series and inspiring videos, check out our YouTube Channel.

    Uncreative Radio with Jude Andam - “There’s a shit show that’s happening right now”

    “Progress is one step forward two steps back, and I’d rather take that one step forward than none at all” We’re on Uncreative Radio with Jude Andam, a marine biologist turned makeup artist. After earning her degree and working in the marine biology field, Jude continued to feel unsatisfied in her work and it wasn’t until she began working in the beauty industry that she found fulfillment. Her resume now includes clients like Tiger Woods, Sony, Amazon Video, and CNN. In this Episode of Uncreative Radio, Josh and Jude speak on the hair and makeup industry in the entertainment world and the important role they play in “connecting both worlds of production and main acts”, as Jude puts it. They also reflect on the massive divide in the country and how it directly contributes to the handle of Covid, denial of climate change, cancel culture, and whether or not advocating on social media is making enough of a difference. Harkening back to 2020, Josh and Jude express the disconnect in society on important social issues including climate change. They agree that this is a pressing issue, some people are living to survive and in that state only day-to-day actions matter. As a result, they have no mental capacity to take on more, they “work on what’s on their table first.” Josh and Jude ask themselves; does social media even have a positive effect? Unfortunately, much of it is performative advocacy, Jude concludes that its effectiveness is not the reason she does it. She does it to voice her opinions and show what’s important to her. It’s then up to other people to decide whether they want to believe her genuineness. Now, California is slowly starting to open back up, Jude is faced with a double-edged sword. On the one hand, she is excited to dust off her makeup kit and be on set. On the other hand, she now cannot control who she is in contact with and can only take steps to protect herself. Her only hope is that everyone else is willing to do the same. For more original series and inspiring videos, check out our YouTube Channel.

    Uncreative Radio with Calvin O'Neal - Talks about COVID, BLM Protest, and uncertainty for the future

    “Since we cannot agree on facts, then I have no idea how this is going to be resolved. But I think I know where to start.” We’re on Uncreative Radio with a long-time friend of the studio, Calvin O’Neal. Calvin is an animation editor currently with Disney. Some of his previous works include The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore, an Academy Award Winning short, and The Scarecrow which earned a two-time Daytime Emmy Award. On this episode of Uncreative Radio, Josh and Calvin discuss the juxtaposition between the right and left that encapsulated all of 2020 starting with Covid, to the Black Lives Matter protests, and ending with the insurrection on January 6th. At the beginning of the pandemic, Josh and Calvin agree that there was a sense of peacefulness in the world, though just for a moment, until the lack of infrastructure and planning by the government became apparent. Following massive shutdowns, layoffs, and uncertainty for the future Josh also became fearful of his studio not making it through. As tensions rise in America the topic of opposing views comes to light. Having both lived in a liberal bubble, Josh and Calvin come to the conclusion that their coastal viewpoints do not reflect that of the rest of the country. Leaving them with the question of “what are people thinking and how different are we?” When the news of the murder of George Floyd was released and the Black Lives Matter protests followed, they were faced with an array of emotions. Some being a sigh of relief that their white counterparts finally recognized the disproportion inequity while another feeling’s being of disappointment of their defensiveness towards the movement. Though the silver lining could be that at the very least people’s intolerance has become clear and easier to avoid. For more original series and inspiring videos, check out our YouTube Channel.

  7. Uncreative Radio with Representative Bobby DuBose - To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Required.

    Uncreative Radio with Representative Bobby DuBose - To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Required.

    *** DISCLAIMER: While we invited Representative DuBose to the studio to talk about the state of America, we would like to make it abundantly clear that the opinions expressed below are entirely owned by C&I Films and C&I Studios Inc. In no way are these opinions associated with Representative DuBose's political stance or opinion, nor are they informed by the conversation shared between Joshua Miller and Bobby DuBose on this episode of Uncreative Radio. With that said, let us begin this conversation with this... BLACK LIVES DO MATTER. Every issue has a face. For the Black Lives Matter movement, they are the faces of those who have been murdered unjustly because of the color of their skin; it's the faces of the mothers and fathers who have to lay their children to rest; it's the faces of the sons and daughters who are growing up without their parents; it's the faces of every black child who walks in fear. Yes, you better believe it: Black Lives Matter. If this is a hard pill for you to swallow then you better listen up. All men and women are created equally despite the color of their skin, their religion, or the circumstance of their upbringing. This is a fact. And men and women of color have proven it a million times over. Yet, there are still those who desperately cling to pathetic dogmas of inequality to make themselves feel more important. If that's you, then you are the problem. And your way of thinking is a disease that we won't tolerate anymore. There's no room among us true Americans (you know, the people who stand up against injustice in every capacity; who combat wickedness wherever it roots its evil head) if you harbor hate or prejudice over people who are every bit as worthy and able of living the best life they can build for themselves. So, where the hell did you go wrong? At what point did an innocent black child become a predator in your eyes? At what point did you become a racist? Let's backtrack a few million years... Did you know that there is an evolutionary trait ingrained in every individual in which we use stereotypes as pneumonic devices to quickly assess our surroundings and the circumstance of our environment? These immediate judgments are automatic; the stereotypes unspoken. It's quite literally an automatic response that you have no real control over. It's a gut feeling, if you will.  Humans have similar alert system in our sense of smell! This is where the saying, "Follow your gut" comes from (if you believe that). If something seems off or dangerous about a situation, believe in your intuition because you are in fact smelling danger! So, then, at what point does a pneumonic device of which you have no real control over dominate your way of thinking and perceiving others. Short answer, it doesn't. No one is born racist, you fool. It's a learned condition. And it can be unlearned. Not convinced? Okay... Did you know in Ancient Rome people of color could hold any legal position as any other man? Interracial marriages were accepted because they were never not accepted. A black man could marry a white woman, hold any office, start any business, govern any military, and own any property that he wanted. That was 753 years before Christ was even born. We repeat, racism is learned and it is a modern invention that can and should be deconstructed.
