Episode 27: Kiyoka “Kex” Rhodes
I talk with director Kiyoka “Kex” Rhodes, DC’s Filmmaker of the Month for September, about her new film, DESOLATE DREAMS.
In our conversation, we talk about how she got into filmmaking – it’s not the usual story – her views on working in the nation’s capital, her new film which she is putting together now, and her advice for students at American University, which she is a guest lecturer.
The District of Columbia has one of the most vibrant indie film scenes in the United States, and Kex Rhodes is a big part of the reason why.
