Lights, Camera, Action! | The Safe Room w/ Special Guest: Yolanda Brown

Send us Fan MailThis isn't your prototypical episode of The Safe Room. This week, we're joined by an international actress, Yolanda Brown, who resides in Madrid, Spain. We first met at the 2022 TINFF Festival (Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival). We were supposed to have this interview a year ago, but A LOT happened between then and now. However, one year later, Yolanda and I are finally getting the chance to talk about her illustrious career.Alone this year, Yolanda has won multiple awards for her contributions to the comedy series "Los Aspirantes" (The Applicants) for Best Directing Duo (Morgana Film Festival), and Best TV Episode (Universe Multicultural Film Festival). This episode carries an aura that reminisces when The Safe Room got started. A very relaxed and conversational talk, and it gives a spotlight for guests to share their stories. There are still some takeaways and some keen advice, but this interview offers a chance to hear about someone you probably don't know well, in hopes their journey motivates you.Timestamps:0:42 - Welcome Yolanda To The Safe Room!4:40 - Hot Seat Segment11:46 - Yolanda’s Start Into Filmmaking15:13 - Working In A Team Scenario 17:08 - The Filmmaking Industry: Is It Good Or Bad?21:31 - Creating Recognition For Actors and Actresses At Film Festivals28:30 - How Yolanda Markets Herself To International Audiences34:00 - Activity: Open Dialogue38:13 - A Final Takeaway From Yolanda39:40 - ConclusionFollow Yolanda on Instagram: @brown.secondary and @brownmelian________________________________________________________________________________________________Business inquiries: [email protected] the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
