For Episode 3 of the “How Do You View You” podcast, I sat down with Raven Richardson of 20/20VZN Films. He spoke about his upcoming film projects. His over a hundred music videos and his plans for the future. Raven has a special place in his heart for Richmond. Podcast was recorded at Kellers Beach in Point Richmond. We sat there about 2 hours the amount of people that knew him was amazing, some even stopped the podcast to talk to him.
Raven used to work at the Soup Kitchen in Richmond helloing the people and Rubicon a work program that helps young folks get back on their feet. Being homeless at one time himself he knew the hardships and prejudices associated with with being in that predicament. He hopes to be a champion for the homeless all over, but especially in Richmond, Ca. Speaking about the pride he had when he got his first apartment, because it was such a journey from homeless to that point.
He reminisces over the hundreds of music videos he has filmed for rappers and pilots for tv. His aspirations are in movies and shorts. “The A,B.C’s of Life”, his new movie venture which he has asked me to be his second camera. I accepted and looking forward to helping his vision come true. It’s a very relatable story with none of the usual “hood” elements, which he is very proud of.
Raven is Richmond, Ca’s champion he wants to change the view of people when they think of Richmond, one video/movie/short at a time. He wants to elevate music and film and the people doing it. He will employ all of Richmond with his films he hopes. So, sit back relax and let Raven’s point of view wash over you. Enjoy.
