Campbell
also directed the zombie TV series In
the Flesh on
the BBC, in addition to the classic Dr.
Who episode Vincent and the Doctor.
This conversation was great
fun. Chauncey and Jonny have a great dialogue and to and fro about
the choices that a director makes in helping to create a final
product, the choices one makes in terms of adapting a book to film,
life lessons learned in the business, advice for intrepid
screenplay and script writers, the zombie genre, and other related
matters.
The second part of the podcast
is a sit down at the virtual bar with brother Mr. Bill Fletcher
Jr.
Mr.
Fletcher is the former director of the activism and
advocacy group known as TransAfrica. He has also been on the
editorial staff of the print and online magazine known
as Black
Commentator. Bill is a wonderful guest. He also shares
some great mentoring, wisdom, advice, and guidance about social
advocacy work, aging gracefully, the importance of labor unions to
American progress, labor, the color line, and how social change
workers can maintain positive energy in the face of
adversity.
Great stuff.
