The
amazing Maggie Mackay, executive director of
the Vidiots
Foundation, is Christy's A La Carte guest this week.
Maggie talks about growing up in the SoHo neighborhood
of New York City in the ’70s and ’80s;
the video store across the street that
was her sanctuary and the place that planted the seeds for her
career; getting her start in film at the Sundance
Institute; and her longtime work
with Film Independent as a programmer
and Spirit Awards organizer. And of
course, she talks about the new home of Vidiots in
Eagle Rock, a movie theater/video store/community space
that will be open next fall after nearly 35 years in Santa Monica.
Maggie is petite and perky like Christy, so they had a blast
chatting with each other. Hope you enjoy, too.
