info_outlineNEW EPISODE COME UP. Get ya tea, pens and thinking caps ready. This is a movement - not a moment.
Brittany Gooden, recently featured in a Pink Among Men women crushing it segment, where we promoted her fundraising campaign for STRANGE BIRD, a documentary seeking #JusticeforIzellParrott, is back this week and this time we are talking with her directly!
Ernest Media CEO Brittany Gooden is a filmmaker with 8+ years working in TV, media and advertising. For her directorial debut, she is raising a fund to continue shooting and pursuing experienced production partners to develop Strange Bird as as a series examining Izell Parrott’s death. The series will dive into the various elements surrounding Izzy’s death: physical evidence, circumstantial evidence, potential suspects and key players from the sheriff’s office, local news publications, Glens Fall, NY residents and Izzy’s family.
She is the niece of Izell and grew up in Glens Falls, New York, where she has worked independently over two years to capture footage and interviews with Izzy’s family and key members of the community.
From Brittany: "Strange Bird is personal. It is a story about America. It is a story about family. It is a story about truth. As an emerging filmmaker, I could not be more eager for this story to be my directorial debut. More than just an opportunity to serve my passion to make a documentary film, this is truly an opportunity to shed light and find answers about the tragic death of my uncle, Izell “Izzy” Parrott."
Brittany chats with us about how she's balancing the brevity of emotions that come with undertaking a film like this, and what the response has been since releasing the trailer. It is a motivational and insightful hour.
