CJ Adams: A Little Boy with a Big Heart At the ripe old age of 12-years-old, CJ Adams got to walk his first “green” carpet at the premiere of The Odd Life of Timothy Green premiere last week in Los Angeles. Earlier that day, I got to talk to him over the phone in a group interview. I’m always blown [...]

One of the best parts of the new Disneynature film, “Chimpanzee,” is the soundtrack that was written especially for the movie, called “Rise.” It’s a beautiful song, and considering that it was written by a 13, 15 and 18 year old who are the beautiful young women who make up the McClain Sisters, it makes it just that more incredible. The McClain [...]

After our interview with Dr. Jane Goodall, we got to get an inside peek at the making of Disneynature’s Chimpanzee during our interview with the directors of the film, Alastair Fothergill & Mark Linfield. The directors both worked on previous Disneynature films, Earth and African Cats, and in all their years of doing nature films knew they wanted to turn their [...]

The part of the #DisneyGlobalEvent I looked forward to the most was meeting Dr. Jane Goodall, who has always inspired me with her passion and independence, not only as a researcher, but as a woman. She did things that women at the time didn’t usually do — like travel to Africa by herself to follow her dream of living with [...]

The jumps, the flips, the lighting themselves on fire, it’s pretty intense to watch so it must be pretty intense to be a part of. I caught up with Metal Mulisha rider, [...]

An Interview with Grave Digger Creator Dennis Anderson There is a great story behind Grave Digger that as a mom to two boys who LOVE dirt and monster trucks (particularly Grave Digger) and trucks and smashing things, I now feel privileged to know. I got a chance to talk to driver and creator of the legendary monster truck, Dennis Anderson, while [...]

Last night to defuse a rising tantrum from my over-tired 5-year-old, I paused and said, “Do you know who I got to talk to on the phone with this afternoon?” And he said, “Who?” I said, “‘Belle’. From Beauty and the Beast. Isn’t that cool?” And I went on to tell him the (somewhat completely made-up fairytale) story of how [...]

The week before the premiere of Dolphin Tale, the cast of the movie was here in town talking to the media, since it’s the home of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium where Winter the Dolphin lives and where the movie was filmed. While they were here, I got to interview most of the cast including Harry Connick, Jr., Morgan Freeman and Winter [...]
