Small Talk Podcast with co-hosts Marlene Sharp & Chris Pomay with special guest Annika Hylmo (Filmmaker) Episode #1, January 21st, 2025

Annika Hylmö, Ph.D. has a doctorate in Communication, or Storytelling, as she puts it, from Purdue University. She studied female-driven tales in academia, where her research into movies starring teenage girls led her passion for visual media to her own screenwriting and story development. Born in Sweden and raised internationally, Annika credits Pippi Longstocking as an early role model. While she is largely genre agnostic, she has a soft spot for mythologies, supernatural and science fiction movies. Annika co-produced Academy Award-nominated Daniel Raim's documentary, IMAGE MAKERS, for Turner Classic Movies, about early cinematography and the story of the people behind the camera. Her award-winning short film DR PENELOPE about a psychology graduate student who finds an unexpected mentor in a psychic puppet is flying around the world on the festival circuit. Annika is one Women in Media's Camaraderie Initiative producers and led their Doc Talks conversations with prestigious female documentarians. She previously worked at the American Film Institute’s Conservatory and currently works as a creative producer and story consultant in addition to developing narrative and documentary projects of her own. In her free time, she rides a horse called Eddie. #smalltalkpodcast #marlenesharp #chrispomay #annikahylmo #purdueuniversity #losangelesfires Links: Web: www.annikahylmo.com IMDb: imdb.me/AnnikaHylmo Women in Media: https://www.womennmedia.com/profile/a...
