NoHo Movie Reviews - The Trial of the Chicago 7
The Trial of the Chicago 7 is well-done in so many ways. The narrative skillfully blends the trial with key flashbacks and behind-the-scenes discussions/recriminations.

Beating ourselves up for not getting more done creatively is pretty pointless. But we also need to actually support our choice to stop the endless shuffling of projects and shoot dates and calendars. The world is on hold. There is a reason for it all and acceptance is the first step in basic survival right now. More>>

The Whitefire Theatre Black Voices Streamfest | Friday, November 6
“Forgetting Not Forgotten” is a wonderful solo show. Like the best very best of the genre, its story reaches into your chest and grabs you unapologetically by the heart. It shocks you, it teaches you, it reminds you that our world, good and bad, is happening all around us all of the time. Lessons learned, hearts broken, disasters averted…or not. People changing and fading and crying out for help and loving one another. It’s a purposeful play and performed with all the heart and soul that Petal seems to have. It’s authentic, brave and ultimately uplifting, even though it’s a tough subject. Losing a home and losing a mother. More>>
