Stories From the Annapolis Film Festival

Morgan and Stacey kick off this episode by sharing their exhilarating experience as interviewers at the Annapolis Film Festival. It was their first time covering a media event, and even better, they were representing, Do It For the Story.

Morgan, drawing inspiration from years of watching E! red carpet interviews, seamlessly hosted the festival’s red carpet (while Stacey was out sick). She interviewed stars like Jennifer Esposito, Eddie Falco, and Emily Bader with wit and charm.

Beyond their behind-the-scenes escapades, Morgan and Stacey discuss the festival’s resounding success. Filmmakers and artists alike praised it, making Annapolis shine! The prevailing themes? Inclusivity, diversity, and kindness.

In this episode you’ll also get to hear their interview with Eliza Jayne South, Australian writer and actor, of the short film, Chum. Eliza talks about Chum and the makings of the film and all of the adversity she has overcome in her life and in the industry as a blind woman. You can’t listen to this episode without being inspired!

As they eagerly await next year’s festival, Morgan and Stacey extend a massive thank you to the organizers for having them: Lee Anderson (Founder & Director), Patti White (Founder & Director), and a special shout-out to the marketing team—Elyse Colgan (Director of Engagement) and Ariel Gomez (Marketing & Social Media Coordinator). Their support was invaluable!

Thanks for listening and remember to Do It For The Story! Cheers DIFTS!
