Frank Comito, CEO of CHTA: Caribbean Tourism Progress Hinges on Smarter Partnerships, 1 September 2017

The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) applauds efforts being made by public and private sectors in the region to grow tourism, but cautions against the inherent risks if the sectors do not work more closely together to resolve differences.

Frank Comito, Director General and CEO of CHTA, asserts that a healthy investment climate and investor confidence are linked directly to good governance and sound business practice. In this era of risk aversion for financing by banks and other investors, it is essential that we continue to advance an open and transparent investor-friendly environment. Many investors look at the Caribbean as one, so what happens in one destination, positive or negative, can reflect on the entire Caribbean, Comito added.

Sarah Wendt Interviews Wan-Jo Wang, Director of ‘A Foley Artist’, 15 September 2017

Can you tell us a bit about the original vision and the journey to get to where you are today?

Originally I pictured the whole film as still a traditional biographical documentary, focusing on the career life of Master Hu. However, I met some difficulties. In my opinion, a good feature needs a main theme, structure, and the twist of the story.

Spots have to be connected to become lines, and lines compose the surface. Besides all that, there should be sub-text under the surface, which is the ideal script for me to achieve. What is the most important part of this work? What is the main point? How to express it?. These are questions I kept thinking about all through the production.

What Most People Saw in San Francisco and Berkeley, by David Bacon 1 September 2017

Relying on the photographs, reporting and video in the mainstream media can give you a false idea about the marches and demonstrations against white supremacists and Nazi sympathizers in San Francisco and Berkeley last weekend. The newsroom adage says, "if it bleeds it leads." But screaming headlines about violence, and stories and images focused on scuffles, were not a good reality check. Mainstream coverage was miles away from the reality most people experienced. One racist quoted for each counterprotestor ignored the fact that there were at most a few dozen of one, and many thousands of the other. More important, where were the reasons why people came out to demonstrate against racism and rightwing politics? How did people organize their broad constituencies of faith and labor, communities of color, women and immigrants?

In the confrontations between a tiny number of white supremacists and a very small number of demonstrators, the photographers who chased them sometimes outnumbered those involved. At those same moments, hundreds of Black, Latino, Asian and white church people were marching up Martin Luther King Jr. Way. The two banners of the Democratic Socialists of America (one all the way from Santa Cruz) stretched across the four lanes of the avenue.

Dr. Steeve Coupeau Interviews Ruchi Joshi, Director of 'The Idiot' featured at Asian American Film Festival, 21 August 2017

We thought it was great content for a political satirical feature and started thinking about a storyline inspired from this real incident. We later decided to shot the film, which was completed in early 2017.

Can you tell us a bit about the original vision and the journey to get to where you are today?

Thanks to my family, I was exposed to films that were culturally and stylistically diverse. This really opened my mind to different kinds of stories and storytelling at a very young age. I finished my MA in Cinema Studies from La Trobe University, Melbourne and came to Mumbai hoping to find work in films. After some struggle I got a chance to work with Navdeep Singh of Manorama 6 feet under and NH10 and learnt a lot from him, not just about writing and directing but about receptivity, eye for stories and the art of nuanced storytelling. After assisting several directors in features and ad films, I decided to go independent. I wrote a few scripts, one of which titled 'All about Her' was selected for NFDC Screenwriter's Lab, Bosnia and Herzegovina and later Film Bazaar, Goa where I met Arfi Lamba and Katharina Suckale of Bombay Berlin Film Productions.
