PODCAST SERIES: MPLS BURNING (2021)
At 75 years old, Spike Moss is the last of his generation. From the 91 day race war that took place after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. to recent murders of Jamar Clark, Philando Castile, and his friend George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement, Spike never left. And he’s not going anywhere.
From writer and director C.J. Quartlbaum, Minneapolis Burning: The Spike Moss Story (2021) traces the history of a city from the Great Migration to Black Lives Matter - told through the stories and experiences of the city’s most vocal critic for the past 40 years. Available on iTunes and Spotify.
SCRIPT ADAPTATION: THE DINNER PARTY (2023)
Chiyo Matsutani is a young college student in San Francisco and Hiro Fujita has nearly paid off the loan on his Sacramento farm. Both are American citizens when they’re rounded up in 1942 and sent to an incarceration camp where they meet, fall in love, and marry. But when they’re released three years later, Hiro’s farm - like the property of so many Japanese Americans - is gone.
Based on a true story, this tale of love and resistance is a look behind the curtain at the resilience, humor, and community it took to survive at a time when "American" didn't apply to all citizens.
Originally written as a film script, The Dinner Party is now being produced as a five-episode podcast. Directed by James Yaegashi, it will feature a stellar group of Broadway, TV and film actors, among them, Julian Cihi, Lyrica Okano, Louis Ozawa, Brittany Ishibashi, Jeanne Sakata, Thom Sezma, Eric Sheffer Stevens, and George Wendt.
