    Industry screening at The Landmark in L.A. to be followed by in-person interviews with the artisans who discuss the art and craft behind director Kathryn Bigelow's feature

    LOS ANGELES --

    The art of collaboration and the contributions of key artists spanning editing, production design, sound and casting will be front and center during a special event on the evening of Wednesday, December 13, at The Landmark theatre in Los Angeles. It starts with a screening of director Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit at 7 pm followed by a live in-person interview session with editor Harry Yoon, production designer Jeremy Hindle, sound designer/supervising sound editor/re-recording mixer Paul N.J. Ottosson and casting director Victoria Thomas. 

    Detroit tells the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of 1967. The film centers on a racially motivated crime that took place one night at the Algiers Motel. Up-and-coming Motown musician, Larry Reed (Algee Smith), six other young African American men and two young white women were terrorized by local police, despite the presence of the State Police, the National Guard, and an African American security guard (John Boyega). Before the sun rose in the motor city, three of the young males were slain in cold blood. Detroit charts the crime and the survivors’ futile search for justice. Reed’s dreams of stardom disappear as he struggles to find a way forward. 

    Yoon, Hindle, Ottosson and Thomas will share backstories and insights into Detroit as they are interviewed by SHOOT editor Robert Goldrich.

    Ottosson has won two Oscars for prior Bigelow films–Best Achievement in Sound Editing for The Hurt Locker, and Best Achievement in Sound Editing for Zero Dark Thirty.

    Yoon co-edited Detroit with Billy Goldenberg, A.C.E. Yoon recently completed Best of Enemies directed by Robin Bissell; his other editing credits include HBO’s The Newsroom and several features that premiered at Sundance, including Drunktown’s Finest and Half-Life.

    Detroit continues production designer Hindle’s collaborative relationship with Bigelow. They earlier teamed on Zero Dark Thirty. Hindle also continues to find great success in commercials.

    Casting director Thomas has lent her talents to such features as Hidden Figures, The Hateful Eight, Fences, Straight Outta Compton, Pawn Sacrifice, D’Jango Unchained, 42, Blood Diamond, Ali, High Fidelity, Crimson Tide, The Last Samurai, Ed Wood, The Grifters, White Men Can’t Jump, and The Piano.

    The Detroit screening and Q&A session are open to industry attendees and one guest. RSVPs are required.

    Searching for pennies: With the cut in federal funding public broadcasters are looking to cope

    Friday, July 18, 2025

    Lauren Adams, general manager for KUCB public radio in Unalaska, Alaska, didn't have much time to reflect on Congress, 4,000 miles away, stripping federal funding for public media this week. She's been too busy working.

    Sirens blared in the Aleutian Islands community Wednesday warning of a potential tsunami, with a voice over public loudspeakers urging the community's 4,100 residents to seek higher ground immediately and tune into the radio — to Adams' station.

    At the same time in Washington, the Senate was voting on a measure that would eliminate nearly $1.1 billion that had already been appropriated for NPR and PBS — a process that didn't end until early Thursday morning. The House completed the process in time for President Donald Trump to sign it before a Friday deadline.

    Trump had called for the cuts, saying public media's news programming was biased against him and fellow Republicans, and threatened GOP members of Congress with primary challenges if they didn't fall in line.

    Adams, her news director, a reporter and an intern kept broadcasting and updating KUCB's social media feed until the danger passed. Then she made time for one more task — texting U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski and urging her to vote against the bill. Murkowski was one of two Republican senators, along with Susan Collins of Maine, to publicly dissent.

    “I thought that it was such a telling story of why her constituents have a different relationship to public radio than maybe some other regions of the United States,” Adams said.

    Hard decisions ahead for stations across the country
    The federal money is appropriated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distributes it to NPR and PBS. Roughly 70% of the money... Read More
