    Reed Arnold | Season 02 Episode 04

    Reed Arnold is an Oklahoma writer-actor-director in the middle of a successful festival run with his new film, “Do Us Part,” a wedding comedy. Like Reed himself, the film made an unlikely progression from LA to NYC and from stage to screen. “Do us Part,” was written in LA as a play, put through the wringer in NYC’s Naked Angels live reads, then reworked into a screenplay to become a film short and most recently, a feature film. How do you reevaluate and reinvent something that you think is perfect in it’s original form? After a successful stage production, Reed tells us he did not want to change a thing until he brought the work to Naked Angels, where it started to take another shape for him. That moment of reinvention was the turning point for the work and the writer. Reed and PJ trade stories and discuss the importance of self critique as well as peer and audience feedback in developing a work and a career.

    Charles Elmore | Season 02 Episode 02

    Charles Elmore began his career young, working on television production for mega churches. That was just the beginning. Using a combo attack (what was that sequence again? Up, Down…?), of dues paying, being at the right place at the right time, and trusting a nucleus of local collaborators discovered along the way, he made a path for himself. The convo takes some fun detours along the way to covering his journey to working as a camera operator on one of the hottest tv shows around, The Lowdown, as well as his work on Minari, The Puppet Master Franchise and Reservation Dogs.

    Convos From the Streamliner RV

    We had the vintage Streamliner RV, our mobile studio, parked outside the 2025 Circle Cinema Film Festival (CCFF) and PJ invited Oklahoma film makers, writers and community leaders in for conversations. No table, all Sosk… and a whole lot of guests. PJ got a few moments to talk to festival director Kerry Wiens about the festival, film selections and the historic cinema located in Tulsa’s Kendall-Whittier district. Circle Cinema’s Bailey Hawkins fills us in on the culture of this non-profit theater, which celebrates local film makers. Director of Photography, Blake Nolan Brown, returns. He and PJ talk about film production and share updates on their narrative short, ‘Becoming Harry.’ We were also joined by Heather Miller and Emily Shireman, subjects in the documentary ‘Susan,’ directed by Russ Kirkpatrick. ‘Susan’ is about their mother coming to terms with a form of dementia. We get into what that was like. Retired commercial director and cinematographer Chuck Price stopped by to share a tale from his storied past. Young creative team, director Lucas Jackson and actor Griffin Edge, tell us about collaborating on ‘Self Reflecting,’ their indy narrative short that screened in the CCFF local block. It features a high schooler, played by Griffin, experiencing a breakdown while confronting another form of himself in the mirror. Screen writer Michael Wright and PJ discuss writer’s workshops and potential upcoming collaborations... plus, we hear how Michael got himself into the right room in the NYC acting scene. Tamecca Rogers also came by the RV to tell us about her new annual film camp, which recently concluded with her middle school students showing at CCFF. She also shares a glimpse into her journey to leadership in the Oklahoma film community. Young, independent film maker Tanner Ray also sat with us to share news about his two festival-screened documentary films, ‘Connecting the Dots’ and ‘An Oklahoma Summer’. He’s got a third in the works called ‘Love You, Bye’, in which he will explore themes evoked in the second documentary film, but as a narrative work. Soren Viuf and Yelena Krivosheyeva, of StormFront Studios, gave us the deets on their LA-to-OK relocation, their new studio and their work as mentors in Tamecca’s film camp. We also went straight to the source- Circle Cinema co-founder Clark Wiens- who shares his inspiration for reviving the movie theater. The building spent many years boarded up, marquee unattended, before Clark and others worked together to create what is now one of the best community-oriented film houses in the U.S. Thank you to Circle Cinema’s hard-working staff and volunteers for making it what it is. Thank you for welcoming us in to be a part of Circle Cinema Film Festival 2025. Hope you enjoy the show! This is a public episode.
