    ‘She Keeps Me’ Screens At Atlanta Film Festival

    3 Min Read

    Among the treasures that screened at the Atlanta Film Festival was She Keeps Me, a short directed by Erica Orofino.

    The film won Best Canadian Short (2022) at the Pendance film festival in Toronto and is currently making the rounds in the festival circuit. 

    She Keeps Me Screens At Atlanta Film Festival

    She Keeps Me is about a woman, Alessandra (Rachel Daganais), who acts as the caretaker for her sister Lena (Katarina Keca), who struggles with mental illness. While Alessandra tries to be there for her sister, the film captures the nearly helpless position caretakers find themselves in when there’s little to no support.

    We were able to talk to Orofino about the film as well as how she started in the business. Below is an edited transcript of our interview.

    Where are you originally from and how did you get into filmmaking?
     
    I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec but have been living in Toronto, Ontario for 10 years now. I went to film school at York University and started working in production after I graduated. I’ve always known directing is what I wanted to do, though, and I started directing films in 2016. 
     
    “She Keeps Me” is an awesome short. What motivated you to tackle mental illness as the subject matter?
     
    Thank you! I’m really interested in stories about mental illness; it’s something that’s affected me my whole life, as someone who has both lived with it and also been in a caretaker role. I think stories like this bring people together, and make people feel seen.
     
    What message do you think a caretaker for someone suffering from mental illness can take from the film?
     
    I don’t know if there’s a direct message, I think what the film is saying to caretakers is “I see you, you’re not alone, I know it’s hard, and there is no right or wrong way.”
     
    As an art form, what advantages would you say filmmaking has over other forms like music or visual art?
     
    Filmmaking engages all the senses! I guess other than taste or smell or touch. But the best films can even make you physically feel things, and engage those senses too. 
     
    What’s next for you as a director?
     
    I have two shorts in post-production right now, and I’m doing lots of music videos, I have another short drama I’m hopefully doing in the fall. So much going on! Lots of good things.
     
    (End of interview.)
     
    The Atlanta Film Festival was a truly refreshing experience and I highly recommend it. Missed out on the fun see the full recap here.

    What Is The Cost Of Living In Georgia?

    2 Min Read

    Despite the rising costs of food and other necessities right now, Georgia remains one of the cheapest states to live in.

    Data from the the Council for Community & Economic Research (C2ER) shows that the Peach State is the top five when it comes to cost of living expenses.

    Wondering how Georgia stacks up against other U.S. cities? Here’s the data:

    Thinking Of Moving To Georgia?

    One of the most attractive places to live in Georgia is the Atlanta-area. The region boasts some of the best weather, a vibrant economy and plenty of things to do.

    The first thing you need to decide is whether you want a house or an apartment in Georgia and the Atlanta area.

    Look for apartments that don’t do credit checks on potential tenants. That way, it’s easier to find a place.

    You’re also going to want to entice the landlord by offering to pay more upfront or even every month. 

    After you’ve gotten a place to live, you’ll want to get a job (if you don’t already have one). With most people, they have a job, but want a better one.

    Delta Air Lines Ends Mask Mandate On Flights

    3 Min Read

    Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has done away with its mask mandate, following trends around the nation as COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to plummet.

    Delta was one of the strictest airlines when it came to health protocols at the height of the pandemic, even reserving an open-middle seat policy.

    Delta Says Masks Are Now Optional On Its Flights

    Customers and employees alike are free to continue to wear masks, which offer protection against aerosols, the company said.

    Delta warned that although it’s policy is in line with White House recommendations, many other businesses around the airport may be slow to get on the same page.

    “Given the unexpected nature of this announcement, please be aware that customers, airline employees and federal agency employees, such as TSA, may be receiving this information at different times,” the airline said in an announcement on its website. Y”ou may experience inconsistent enforcement during the next 24 hours as this news is more broadly communicated – remember to show understanding and patience with others who may not be aware enforcement is no longer required. Communications to customers and in-airport signage and announcements will be updated to share that masking is now optional – this may take a short period of time.”

    Do I Still Need To Wear A Mask When Out In Atlanta, Georgia?

    The CDC along with the City of Atlanta have released guidance advocating that masks no longer have to be worn indoors as well as outdoors in crowded areas.

    The CDC also said that masks are now optional on public transportation, which spurred Delta to make its announcement.

    Gov. Brian Kemp passed laws that ban a mask mandate, so the local restrictions are limited in how far they apply.

    Earlier in the year, the CDC caused controversy when it came out with the following guidance:

    Final Word

    You no longer have to pack your masks when taking a flight on Delta. Keep in mind that when you’re traveling abroad, mask mandates may still be in effect.

    Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.

    Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interested in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.

    2 Min Read

    One of the most famous locations in Southern hip-hop history can be yours for the renting. The music production outfit known as Organized Noize’s homebase, the Dungeon, is available for rent on Airbnb.

    What Is The Dungeon In Atlanta?

    The Dungeon is where the hitmaking studio of Organized Noize was located. In the 1990s, the home was the residence of Atlanta producer Rico Wade. In the basement of that home was the Dungeon.

    That’s where hit acts like Outkast, Goodie Mob, and Organized Noize formed the music collective known as the Dungeon Family.

    In a video shared by Outkast member Big Boi, you get to see the interior of the Dungeon.

    Three years ago, Big Boi purchased the property, showing it off on social media. Back then it still had many of the markings from its hey day. 

    But now, the spot has been renovated. Here’s a look inside:

    Organized Noise’s Dungeon is one of many Atlanta homes on the popular platform Airbnb. These homes are getting national attention.
