Live Your Dreams Podcast Season 6 Episode 6

Hi Dreamers! We're thrilled to receive your messages and fan mail here at the Live Your Dreams Podcast, and we can't wait to hear from you!

In this first installment of our multi-part series, we’re back in the studio discussing our upcoming trip to the American Film Market (AFM) where we’ll be representing five original Intellectual Properties under LCP Studios. We break down what AFM actually is, why it matters for independent creators, and how we’re approaching the market strategically as we build, pitch, and distribute our IP's.

In Part 1, we take a deep dive into Missy’s Voice a powerful anti-bullying drama that has just wrapped production. Written by Karen Goeller, the film stars Bruna Novais, Braxton Paul, Eva Jette, Alexis V. Martinez, and Margot Bersh, alongside industry veterans John Bianco, Michele Frantzeskos, Chris Victor, and Francesca Ruscio. Missy’s Voice was filmed at Mt. Olive High School in Flanders NJ, we discuss how it was working with the Mt. Olive School District and the New Jersey Film Commission. 

In this episode, we share the creative process, the emotional heart of the story, and what it means to bring a message-driven film to life with students, educators, and rising talent. This episode sets the stage for AFM and the projects we’ll be championing there.
