Jeanette Millo is a Producer with 20 years of experience, born and raised in Germany, currently teaching Film Finance at USC.

This Cinema of Change podcast is with Daniel Ragussis, writer/director/producer of Imperium starring Daniel Radcliffe, that centers around an FBI agent who infiltrates a white supremacist group to uncover a domestic terror plot. Though initially Radcliffe’s character, Nate Foster, suspects the obvious skinheads, the film offers a three dimensional look at white radical groups operating in many walks of life.
Bringing the film into the real world, the podcast is also joined by TM Garret, a former Neo-Nazi who now has a non-profit helping others get out and de-radicalize. The foundation is called, C.H.A.N.G.E.
