Acting: The Yes. No. Maybe. Extravaganza Episode With Raymond-Kym Suttle and Al LaFleur
The (very far) off-Broadway play Yes. No. Maybe. Is currently running at The Hollywood Fringe Festival and we’ve got the writer-producer-star and star-just-star on today’s episode.
Hyphenates are always welcome on The Hollywood Fishbowl. So it’s with great joy that we welcome writer-director-star Raymond-Kym Suttle who’s joining us to talk about his play Yes. No. Maybe. which is currently playing at The Hollywood Fringe Festival. Not only that, our guest brought a guest! Raymond is joined by co-star Al LaFleur. We all chop it up about directing, acting producing and the complexities of successfully executing Fringe Fest show. When we finally get to The Fishbowl, we pull questions about favorite sexual positions and shower songs (courtesy of comedian @elizabethmcirvin), must-watch movies (clothing designer @crftbymaki) and a warm invitation to relive your shame (producer @deer_jacquie).

Storytelling: Nutschell Windsor Takes Over The Hollywood Fishbowl
For those of you who have had enough of Jesse hosting, today is your day! Nutschell Windsor takes over and crushes it!
When Nutschell takes over a show, she takes over a show. It isn’t just an interview, this episode is a full on reading. She succeeds at pulling information from my eyes even better than I succeeded at shedding my snarky, cynical veneer. When all is said and done, she succeeded more. But, hey, it’s not like this show is a success competition! When we turn to the fishbowl, we pull questions about LA changing (from Mariko Lochridge), how we want to be remembered, what we want to happen when we die and... silence? That’s right! It’s a fabulous first on The Hollywood Fishbowl! We do our premiere inaugural silent interview!

Storytelling: Nutschell Windsor Takes Exquisite Corpse To The Next Level
In which we welcome author, event organizer and all-around woman-of-wonder Nutschell Windsor to The Hollywood Fishbowl!
Growing up as a bookworm in the Phillipines, Nutchell didn’t have many books that reflected her day-to-day life. That didn’t leave her bitter, it left her motivated. After getting her BA in psychology, she made the move to teaching and a more literature-focused life, which eventually brought her to America. Since getting here, she’s founded the Children’s Book Writers of LA, which is where we met her. She’s also a published author and other accolades and other accolades, all of which are fantastic. But, hey, we invite our guests on because they have awesome ideas and captivating world-views. So, stop reading this and put some Nutschell in your thought-box! As always, thank you for listening!

Welcome to the first episode of The Hollywood Fishbowl that goes beyond “conversation” and teeters into “soiree” territory. First, we catch up with Fishbowl Alumn Hilliard Guess who is now a writer on the hit SyFy show Deadly Class. If you listen to his original episode (found in our Storytelling series) and then watch some Deadly Class, you’ll be celebrating his success just as enthusiastically as I am. Why? Listen and you’ll know. Then, we do something unprecedented on The Fishbowl. We go into speed rounds with heaps of new guests and a returning fan favorite. Next week, we’ll be back with a more regular series. Until then, thank you always for listening!

Faith-Based Film: Sonja Piper Dosti Heard The Best Pitch At Age 8
Sonja Piper Dosti found her faith at 8 years old and never turned her back on it, even through a long and successful career in filmmaking. How does that work? Listen and find out!
Sonja didn’t grow up a Christian; she discovered her faith at 8 when a stranger introduced her to The Bible. She’s held that faith close through her life, even as she moved through a career in film. We talk about the gap between the quiet austerity of religion and how that squares with a career in the film industry, which isn’t exactly known for its quiet austerity. We also take a swim in The Fishbowl and answer some humdingers from that arena. And, of course, empathy!

Faith-Based Film: Jennifer Dornbush Believes In Hope, Healing & Dissecting Depravity
Kicking off our miniseries on Faith-Based Film, writer Jennifer Dornbush opens the case file on her life, her writing techniques and thoughts on how we can improve movies about The Bible.
Jennifer Dornbush grew up in a house with human body parts strewn about, but not in a bad way. Her father worked in forensics. That environment would have an influence on her writing career but not right away. Once it did though, her career took off in new and unexpected ways, including a recent turn as a faith-based film writer. All of that in more detail in this episode and then we get to The Fishbowl. We draw Improv Poetry (nail it!), Childhood Mischief and Anti-Antidisestablishmentarianism.

Storytelling: Kathie Fong Yoneda Has Had Her Feet On Every Rung Of The Ladder
Kathie Fong Yoneda has climbed from typist to executive but didn’t do so in a straight line (because there is no such thing as a straight line when it comes to life). Exactly how does an early interest in journalism and art lead to top-level employment at major studios? We’d answer that but Kathie does so better than we ever could.
One of the common themes among our guests is empathy. While this isn’t a competition, Kathie was the first guest to ask about Neo’s wellbeing after he finished fighting Morpheus. So, that’s where the bar is now, future guests. From there, the conversation takes off, touching on community college, art, journalism, affirmative action, and storytelling. Specifically, we focus on how to think about storytelling when addressing executives. How do you best package an idea for studios? How do you rework a project for pitch and for sale? All that and more on this episode of The Hollywood Fishbowl!
Storytelling: John Bucher Firmly Believes That We Can Improve Our Narrative
Debate amongst yourselves all you like, John Bucher is confident we can all craft better narratives for ourselves, both on a micro and a macro scale. What thoughts have spawned from this passion? Listen and find out, friend.
Even if they gave PhDs out for passion instead of knowledge, John Bucher would probably still have one. Enthusiasm, curiosity and insight are all on full display in the first episode in our Storytelling miniseries. We start this series heady asking the biggest story question of all time - why do we need stories anyway? Surely it can’t be a coincidence that every society, no matter how remote from the rest of the world has stories any more than it can be coincidence that so many of these stories have overlapping themes, plots and structures. But, we don’t stop there with the ephemeral puzzles.
