    ILWP REMOTE ENCONTERS 04 | The Fast Track From Film School to Hollywood

    Hosts Mike Pecci and Lance A. Williams sit down with Gabby Fiszman & Isabella Ares to discuss their journey of making their first film, "Holy Smokes!", out of USC with Decentralize Pictures and industry legends Kevin Smith and Mena Suvari.

    What starts as a chance connection over their Brazilian heritage blossoms into a dynamic partnership between Fiszman and Ares.

    In our discussion, we delve into the fascinating dynamics of generational identity, dismantling the barriers between Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. It's a captivating exploration of how film serves as a powerful medium for expressing the unique perspectives of each generation on the world stage. Particularly poignant is the examination of how Gen Z navigates and challenges the labels imposed upon them, shedding light on the complexities of identity in today's society.

    So, if you're in need of a dose of inspiration and a reminder that anything is possible with passion and perseverance, tune in and join the celebration of creativity, friendship, and breaking down barriers.

    Hosts Mike Pecci and Lance A. Williams take you on a wild ride in their latest episode, where they dive into the eerie world of horror and genre screenwriting with the Latinxorcists.

    From the get-go, it's clear this isn't your average chat about writing. Mike and Lance are battling against the thumping speakers at Fontainbleau's Club LIV, setting the stage as they sit down with founders Jose Vicente Chavez, Ricardo Martinez, and Alfredo Hernandez. You can practically feel the energy crackling in the air.

    This episode is one of the raw honest ones. The Latinxorcists aren't just here to talk about horror and genre; they're here to dissect the writing process, warts and all. They delve into everything from giving and taking notes to the delicate art of working in writing rooms. And let's not forget about dealing with egos – a topic they tackle head-on with humor and humility.

    Amidst the laughter and lively banter, the Latinxorcists touch on something deeper: the importance of creating spaces for Latinx storytellers. In an industry that often overlooks their voices, they're carving out a place where Latinx stories can thrive.

    One of the highlights of the episode is the therapeutic discussion on unpacking trauma and overcoming fear. It's a reminder that writing isn't just about crafting tales of terror – it's about tapping into our humanity and showing compassion, both to ourselves and to others.
