We are now known as MediaMaker Spotlight!
After nearly 80 episodes to date, WIFV’s bi-weekly podcast is debuting our new name and logo that have been changed to better reflect the show’s content and purpose. Our three rotating hosts – Sandra Abrams, Candice Bloch, and Tara Jabbari – will continue to chat with professionals about all aspects of filmmaking, shining a light on production topics and media industry issues. It’s been an honor and a joy to have talked with Oscar-nominated and award-winning creators, ranging from directors, screenwriters, and producers, to stunt performers, SFX experts, set designers, hair and make-up professionals, and so many more. We’ve spoken with nearly 100 specialists who brought their skills to NETFLIX’s Bridgerton, Marvel Studios, Star Trek, NASA, the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, and other amazing projects. We also delved into important industry related issues, such as gender parity in front of and behind the lens, diversity and representation, and the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. It’s been quite the journey so far, and we’re not stopping any time soon…
Our small but mighty podcast production team is excited to keep bringing you insightful and inspiring content, both in the classic audio-only podcast format and with our video companion to each conversation. So stick around as we continue to learn from more amazing media-maker guests!
Our new logo was designed by Andrea Bolf, new additional graphics and cover art by Candice Bloch, and new motion graphics for our YouTube companion by Sean Metzger.
