Tasha Lowe-Newsome, creator of Raggedyman on Girlamatic, and her husband Yuell recently won a Gold Remi Award from Houston Worldfest (the countries second oldest film festival) for our feature script "A One-Color System."
While she was going that she also did a podcast with Pilar Alessandra.
Pilar has a company called On The Page, where she teaches how to get a film or tv script "out of your head and on the page."
Her very popular podcasts range widely in subject. Tasha talked to her about Hollywood musicals, because she has written two episodes of the documentary series Hollywood Singing and Dancing: A Musical Treaure.
The 13 part series was also cut into an award winning feature length documentary. The podcast can be found at:
