Announcing the Film Courage Radio Show


For the first time since my college years, I will be returning to the radio airwaves. This time it is going to take on a different dimension. The details follow.

This Film Courage Blog is about my personal filmmaking journey. The Film Courage Radio Show on LA Talk Radio.com will be Co-Hosted by my beautiful and talented life-partner Karen Worden.


Our radio show is going to focus on other Filmmakers and their journeys and experiences. Whether they be Producers, Writers, Actors, etc. my aim is to in depth


Here’s the show’s synopsis.


Film Interviews that Inspire. Hosts David Branin & Karen Worden explore the psychology and passion of filmmakers in their dealings with rejection, adversity, and the criticism they face on a daily basis. With the help of Film Courage, you will discover how filmmakers hone their craft, where they devote their time and why.


Of course making a film is only half of this courageous battle. Aside from discussing how their films were made, Film Courage also addresses how these filmmakers find their audience. It’s all covered from Film Festivals to Theatrical to DVD and Digital Distribution.

Update from Filmmaker Jamin Winans

Dear fans and friends,

Check out this great 9News (NBC) piece on Ink by Kirk Montgomery:



Ink is going into the fourth and maybe final week of its theatrical run at Starz. You can catch the film in Denver until April 9th. Tickets and showtimes are available here: Starz FilmCenter

On the distribution front, Ink is currently being shown to major distributors by our representative UTA. If all goes well, Ink may be coming to the rest of you soon.

See you at the movies,

Jamin and Kiowa
