Today we welcome film and television director Crystle C Roberson to the Studio Noize podcast. Crystal has been cutting in the director's chair for a long time. Lately, she brought her talents to Greenleaf and Ambitions on the OWN Network. We learn about Crystle's philosophy when it comes to making a movie, what it’s like working on a big-time production like Greenleaf, and how she’s helping mentor the next generation of film makers with CCR Storyhouse. We learn all about making movies today on the Noize!

Roberson was awarded by HBO, Chase, and Kodak for her short film Next Dods Next (2009), and has directed dozens more indie projects since - including Private Garden with Idris Elba, The Black Cage with Mykelti Williamson, The End Again with Columbus Short and most recently Black Girls Guide to Fertility with Raney Branch. Between films, she directs an urban improv comedy troupe performing live shows around the South East. Crystle is a proud member of Yale University's Storytellers in Modern Media Program.
