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.

Mike Maven, founder, Shelter Arcade Bar, Providence, RI.

Original Episode Summary:
You have this great idea for a business so you do what every self-respecting millennial would do: put together a little video, post it on Kickstarter or Indiegogo, then sit back and wait for the money to roll in. Well, that's not exactly how it works. Our guest on Sonic Watermelons tonight is Mike Maven and he has successfully completed a Kickstarter campaign to bring you the Shelter Arcade Bar, opening soon in Olneyville. Mike will give us the inside scoop on crowd-sourced funding and what it takes to open a business in Providence. And he just happens to be half of the Providence-based duo The Silent Shoals so, as always, there will be music. Shelterarcadebar.com
