One of the great things about working in a creative field is that you meet so many creative, talented people. Today, we met Colin Boyd , film critic and radio host of The Big Picture on FM101.5. He interviewed Jabbes and me about the Zambian feature film, BAD TIMING and the companion documentary, VOICE OF AN AFRICAN NATION.

He allowed us to bring in the cameras and record the session for the documentary. He even did a custom opening and close for us because we are sending the recording on to ZNBC. It was a wonderful interview because he was both inquisitive and supportive. I got terribly excited at one point because he said that Jabbes and I had created a blueprint to help launch the film industry in any country. What an amazing thought! That is why we created the blogs and encourage everyone to write vociferously. We hoped that others could enjoy and learn from our journey.

I was surprised to find a large number of MP3s of Interviews with Boyd on his website. Among the folks he interviews, George Clooney, Jake Gyllenhaal, Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson. He even has an interview with Elija Wood about EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED, a film by Liev Schrieber that featured music by Gogol Bordello. Our very own MKRacine’s sister is in the band, so of course we find everything about them interesting.
