Name of Guest:
Jose Ramirez and Ron Crosson
Providence Latin American Film Festival
***
Original Episode Summary:
The world is a big place with big ideas and lots and lots of music. That is the tagline of Sonic Watermelons, but remove the word music and replace it with movies, and we might be talking about the Providence Latin American Film Festival (PLAFF), coming up in September. Today on Sonic Watermelons, we talk more about PLAFF with Programming Coordinator and Treasurer Ron Crosson and Sonic Watermelons' own Jose Ramirez, who is serving in his first year as Co-Director of the festival.
What does the process look like to move from attending and consuming the culture and media at a film festival to curating, selecting and arranging the pieces of a festival? What is the process used to select a film and how do you get a team onto the same page? And what is the purpose of PLAFF and future direction of the organization and event? We'll talk about this and more TODAY on Sonic Watermelons, Tuesday, August 23, 2016.

Micro-filmmaking and discussions about Latinos in Hollywood: it’s that time of year again, friends - Providence Latin American Film Festival time. This year’s events run September 28 thru October 2nd, and in addition to the capital city, screenings are also happening at Bryant University in Smithfield and the Warwick Public Library (in city of said name).
PLAFF is in its 24th year and #sonicwatermelons team member, Jose Ramirez, has evolved from a guy who used to watch the films to being a co-director (alongside Saul Ramos). Ron Crosson, on the other hand, has been involved since 2000 and during times in which attendees and participants included. Danny Glover, Anthony Quinn, and Antonio Banderas.
Learn about how film festival producers, like those part of PLAFF, and Latino filmmakers worldwide have interacted with Cuba and have dealt with questions of geography, identity and location, and hear about what’s coming up at this year’s festival in “Film from the Latino Diaspora and Ronald Kevin Lewis Visits Sonic Watermelons” the podcast.

Choosing from the cream of the crop with Jim Nellis and RI Food Fights

Name of Guest(s):
Jim Nellis, Founder, RI Food Fights
***
Original Episode Summary:
With the nation sitting up and taking notice of the impressive food scene in RI, multiple James Beard Award nominated chefs, and festivals celebrating the abundant seafood, it'd be silly to take Little Rhody for granted when it's feeding time. Our guest tonight on Sonic Watermelons is RI Food Fights founder Jim Nellis, who will tell us about how he is using social media and a healthy dose of competition to make sure that you are exploring all of the options that Providence and the rest of Rhode Island has to offer. Listen in tonight as we talk burgers, tacos, ice cream, cookies....are you getting hungry yet?

More Info About the Guest, Topics and/or Podcast:
Rhode Island may be the smallest state in the US, but many cultures reside here, and summer is a great time to check them out. One way to interact with diverse people and communities is through food, and that’s one of the reasons we invited Jim Nellis from RI Food Fights to talk to us in June 2016. Coming up August 1 is RI Food Fights’ “Iced Coffee Summer Celebration 2016” and their “2nd Annual Calamari Throwdown” (#BestCalamariRI), both of which Jim discussed during the June 14 interview, along with highlighting their recently held 3rd Annual Big Burger Blowout.

The New York-based Afro-Latino Festival just wrapped up its fourth year of celebration and education, July 8-10, 2016. This year featured dozens of performers including Nina Sky, Tito Puente Jr., Nickodemus, and Los Rakas, a duo representing Panama and Oakland - who Sonic Watermelons Executive Producer Reza Clifton interviewed in 2012. Reza also interviewed 2016 Afro-Latino Festival participants Que Bajo, who also participated in last year’s festival, the same year that Reza attended, interviewing a number of artists, recording live performance footage, and dancing, singing, and connecting. Included in this podcast is a preview and part I of Reza’s digital mixtape, “Venus Sings and La Musica Mueve at Afro-Latino Festival, NYC.” The audio medley includes, in order of appearance, 1) Uproot Andy/Que Bajo; 2) Danay Suarez; 3) Les Nubian, Live; 4) Les Nubian; 5) Les Nubian, Live; 6) Los Rakas; 7) Los Rakas, Africana, played at Afro-Latino Festival (audience singing along and dancing); 8) Los Rakas; 9) Los Rakas, Africana, played at Afro-Latino Festival (audience singing along and dancing);
