  • Summary

  • Karen Bolt, the Development Executive for actor and activist Danny Glover, and an accomplished Independent Producer, is a close friend of our OWC RADiO host, Cirina Catania. Over the years, Karen and Cirina have collaborated on several of Mr. Glover's projects, including insightful interviews with Bob Moses head of the Algebra Project in San Francisco and one of the key instigators of the Civil Rights Movement in the 60's. They also shared memorable experiences in Salt Lake City during the filming of "Just a Dream," directed by Danny Glover. Karen's impressive portfolio includes award-winning short films like "The Secret Weapon: Yesterday is Today" and "The McHenry Trial-Don't Judge a Kid by Their Hoodie," which have collectively garnered over 147 awards. In this episode, she shares invaluable advice for aspiring independent producers, drawing from her extensive experience in the industry. Cirina says, "As a poignant aside, after we hung up, I realized that our conversation reminded me of the fact that it has been 60 years since the Civil Rights Act was passed—a milestone closely tied to the legacy of Bob Moses, a key figure in that movement. We'll dive deeper into that topic in a future episode." Thank you for tuning in to OWC RADiO. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and many thanks to Other World Computing for sponsoring our show.
