We decided to add a bonus episode this season by turning the microphone inward (so to speak) and, so, I am going to interview my lovely co-host Phoebe Rubin today, since Phoebe checks the boxes of being a working woman over seventy.  Phoebe Rubin is a film producer and director. She began making movies in 1999. Her first film, Women Who Cry In Restaurants, was part of the LA Shorts Festival. In 2004, Phoebe began making documentary films with Erica Tanamachi for non-profit organizations.  Their short documentary, A Perfect Note, was included in the 2018 Napa Valley Film Festival. Phoebe holds an MA in Psychology with a concentration in Drama Therapy. She taught and directed autobiographical performance to at risk youth in San Francisco.  Phoebe worked for the Los Angeles Theatre Council, coordinating conferences and events. She was assistant to a vice president at CBS records and an assistant to a Los Angeles film producer.  She built and ran a recording studio in Sausalito, Ca. Before moving to California, Phoebe opened and managed a French restaurant by the University of Cincinnati called Cafe Lautrec. At 51, Phoebe received full custody of her 10 week old grandson. He is now 24. It was a profound period of adjustment being a new mommy at 51, as well as another opportunity for re- imagining and re-inventing herself. Last year Phoebe began treatment for Multiple Myeloma. Phoebe is 75. https://www.instagram.com/workwhileyouhavethelight/

She has taught workshops in Mexico, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.  Lana has been featured in Ceramics Monthly and Pottery Making Illustrated magazines, and for twenty years she wrote a column for Clay Times magazine.
