Rachel Pearson, the founder of Brighton Digital Women and host of The FANMADE Film Podcast, is joined by celebrity actress Natasha Coppola-Shalom and visionary feminist director Timothy Hines in a lively discussion of feminism, the changing face of Hollywood and our love of Star Wars and Star Wars fan films.
Pearson says of the podcast, “Natasha is the grandniece of Francis Ford Coppola and niece of Nicholas Cage and is an absolute powerhouse of passion and talent. Timothy is a true ally in lifting female filmmakers and characters up in a male-dominated industry. I loved talking to them both about this and their new mini-series Chrome, available on Amazon Prime now.”

Rachel Pearson says of herself, “I’m Rachel and I love talking to people who know more about things than I do. It’s a great way to learn. Film is my first love, Star Wars a close second. I adore cleverly written stories that involve lightsabers, magic, aliens and/or dragons, and people who tell me all about how they created them. By night I host the FANMADE Film Podcast, by day I am a digital marketer and creative for a digital agency.”
