Interview with Giovannie Espiritu
If you are looking for inspiration, you can easily find it in Giovannie Espiritu. Her story is inspiring. Giovannie was recently named one of the “Most Influential Filipina Women in the World” by the Filipina Women’s Network. She was nominated alongside Academy Award Nominees Alfre Woodard and Amy Irving for Best Supporting Actress at MethodFest for the Mynah Films feature film Fiona’s Script.
Her first short film, “Ultra-Feminist,” got an Honorable Mention at Outfest: Fusion, and her second film, “ALLY 3000,” won over 12 awards at film festivals in scriptwriting, social justice, and women in film. Most of her work has taken aim at dismantling the patriarchy, healing generational trauma, and exposing systems of bias with humor. She is a member of the Alliance of Women Directors and the Producers Guild of America.
During our interview with her, we asked her about the “Special Thanks” credit she was given at the end of Pixar’s Turning Red for being the on-call acting coach for Rosalie Chiang. She has served on the Board of Directors for C.O.R.A. (a Bay Area domestic violence hotline and agency) and was awarded a Certificate of Recognition from the Senate for her community service.
Titanic 666
One hundred and ten years after its namesake’s deadly journey, the Titanic III is fated to repeat one of history’s greatest disasters. A faithful replica of the original, the mammoth cruise ship is safeguarded with the most advanced technology to assure clear passage on its maiden voyage for the famous influencers, historical enthusiasts, and excited travelers on board. But a nightmare is about to unfold, as unbeknownst to all, there is a stowaway amongst them with vengeful intentions to channel dark forces still at sea. As the ship halts over the surface of the original gravesite, the crew, and passengers are terrorized by hauntings from the past.
The film stars Keesha Sharp, Jamie Bamber, Lydia Hearst, and AnnaLynne McCord and is directed by Nick Lyon.
