    Mar 18 2019
    How do you get more women directors' work seen on the big screens? Well one way is to hire someone like our guest this week, Director of Programming and Special Projects at Nitehawk Cinema Caryn Coleman, who lit-er-ally makes it her job to get representation into theaters. We ask her how one gets such a dreamy job, how her The Future of Film is Female project truly walks the walk - plus Aunt Becky behind bars, Alanah's gender-switching photo shoot, and Caryn's hot tip for what to do when your child is obsessed with the music of a pedophile. DAYEINU!
