For the first time ever, I went multimedia for the Luso World Cinema Blogathon! Readers, you can watch and listen to my Alyssa Botelho interview. Both its YouTube video and the podcast version are live. I had a blast chatting with Alyssa. She’s an indie, female filmmaker committed to working on the South Coast of Massachusetts. We discussed her Lusitanic heritage, her career path and work, the New Bedford Film Festival, and what’s in her future. If you’re interested in independent film, female directors, Portuguese-American filmmakers, Alyssa Botelho’s career, South Coast creatives, or just love movie vlogs and podcasts, you need to check out this interview!

What a great interview! I especially enjoyed hearing Alyssa talking about her Portuguese heritage. And, as a historian and film critic, I’m glad she found a new liking to History.
Thanks for co-hosting the blogathon!
