Williams is a writer/producer/editor at Red Wall Productions, a film production company he runs with his wife and partner, Rosalyn Coleman Williams. Craig has produced over 50 film projects including documentaries, narrative short films, and web series. He has empowered artists, assisting writers, actors and filmmakers develop their craft through classes, workshops, scholarships, internships, and professional opportunities. Providing them with the tools and confidence to create their own work and share their individual stories with the world. http://www.redwallproductions.com/ Richa is an award-winning NYC-based filmmaker. Films were not a big part of Richa’s childhood growing up in India, but it wasn’t until pursuing a statistics graduate degree in the U.S that she discovered independent and foreign cinema and fell in love with the medium. Her first short film, "TAAZA KHOON" (FRESH BLOOD), screened at Nashville Film Festival and won 7 awards across 27 film festivals eventually picking up distribution by Shorts TV India. Her latest short film THE SEAL won the 2019 Future of Film is Female grant and is currently enjoying a successful run on the festival circuit with screenings at Vail Film Festival, HollyShorts and Seattle South Asian Film Festival, among others.

FERMENT, a one-act play she wrote &amp; directed, was a semi-finalist in the 2017 New York New Works Theater Festival. Richa is currently developing a TV series about dream-based matchmaking. http://richarudola.com/ DAVID GAYNES | I believe that there is an essential truth to every story that exists independently of those who shape it.  I try to hear the quiet voice, the heart of the work, to understand how it intends to be revealed. This is the guiding principle for my own artistic productions as well as my collaborations with others. My defining aesthetic is a commitment to elemental, reasoned storytelling and an earnest, non-judgmental point of view.  As a director, cinematographer and editor I have embraced a variety of storytelling techniques throughout my career.  Increasingly, I find myself drawn stylistically to a spareness that speaks clearly and without pretense. If ever there was a time to present meaningful content plainly, without judgement or undue analysis, it is now. http://dgfilmworks.com/ This episode was produced and edited by Ash Knowlton.  Got a story?
