Best known for her iconic role as Ashley Hammond, the Yellow Ranger in "Power Rangers Turbo" and "Power Rangers in Space," Tracy has left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment.

Thank you for listening to this episode of the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast.

Today we are joined by Marc Bernardin to discuss his directorial debut, the short film SPLINTER.  Marc is a journalist, public speaker, TV and comic book writer, podcaster, and now filmmaker. He has served as film editor for the Los Angeles Times and senior editor for The Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly. He has written for GQ, Wired, Details, Vulture, Playboy, and Empire. He has been a staff writer for Castle Rock, Treadstone and Carnival Row, and is a supervising producer on Star Trek: Picard. SPLINTER is focused on Benjamin, a boy who has spent most of his ten years on an airplane that almost never lands, because when his feet touch the ground, rage spreads like a virus. But when a mid-air collision forces the plane to land, it falls to his caretaker and her associate to deal with the explosive fallout. SPLINTER just screened at this year's HollyShorts festival and will be playing genre festivals throughout the rest of the year.

Today we are joined by director/writer Dane Elcar to discuss his film BRIGHTWOOD Jen and Dan’s marriage is on the rocks with Jen seriously thinking about ending it for good. But when the pair go on a jog around a local pond in an attempt to hash things out, they find themselves running in circles as the exit trail vanishes and they repeatedly return to the same spot.Being stuck together in an endless loop would be bad enough, but when a silent hooded killer appears and starts tracking them down, the couple must figure out how to survive -- together or apart. Here is my conversation with Dane. BRIGHTWOOD will be available on VOD and DVD on August 22nd.

Today we are joined by editors Timothy A. Good and Emily Mendez to discuss their Emmy nominated work on THE LAST OF US. After a global pandemic destroys civilization, a hardened survivor takes charge of a 14-year-old girl who may be humanity’s last hope. While the series has more than enough gore and action to satisfy the most craven of genre fans, the show, in its heart, is about survival, moving on in the face of great loss, and ultimately hope. About the importance of vulnerability in dangerous times, at least to me it is. To you, it could be something wildly different.  Personally, I got my fingers crossed for Tim and Emily on Emmy night, great people making great art. THE LAST OF US is currently available to stream on HBO Max. Or is it just Max now? That sounds weird, but it's right. I’ll Tweet about it on X. Strange days people, strange days. Enjoy the show.
