Ep.36 - Rain, Wind, Fire, and Crashing Cars

When it comes to big budget movies that combine pyrotechnics, car chases, scattering crowds or any combination there of, both the Special Effects Department and Stunt Department need to combine forces to make it all work on camera, while keeping everyone involved safe.

In my final episode, I chat with Keith Campbell (stunts) and Craig “Tex” Barnett (Special Efx), about how they are able to create some of the most chaotic and eye-popping sequences from their work on Adam Sandler’s most recent movie “Spaceman of Bohemia” to “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Transformers.

RIP - Halyna Hutchins (Director of Photography)

Tragic tragic tragic.

We’ve come so far when it comes to safety on set, particularly with fi****ms since Brandon Lee lost his life on “The Crow” but there’s still always a risk. 🙏🏼😣🙏🏼😣🙏🏼

The film industry has been left shocked and in mourning after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on set when actor and producer Alec Baldwin discharged a prop firearm.

EXCLUSIVE: With Hollywood on edge and picket signs at the ready, IATSE and the AMPTP have reached an agreement on a new film and TV contract, averting a threatened nationwide strike. The new three-…

22/09/2021

Friends and family across the country- there is a very real possibility that Hollywood unions, the IATSE, will go on strike. This would halt almost all film and television production across the entire United States. This is a historic move, and frankly a necessary one.
Many of you are probably annoyed that you’ve cut the cable cord, only to now be paying basically the same amount for a multitude of streaming services.

We however are more than annoyed that these streaming services, which nearly everyone has, and which are owned by some of the richest corporations on the planet, are pretending that it’s still an unknown business model that they don’t know if they can make money from.

They want to pay us less to work on streaming shows than for shows that air on TV. They want to work us longer hours, and shorter weekends. They want to contribute less to our pension and health plans for streaming movies than they do for films that have a traditional theatrical release. They don’t even want to let us break for lunch during a 12+ hour work day…

On top of all that, AppleTV+ is asking for a discount on our rates because they have less subscribers than the others, even though Ted Lasso just won all the Emmys last night.
This situation has reached a breaking point. The studios have decided to no longer negotiate, and therefore, our leadership has decided to call for a strike authorization vote. It’s possible that this vote could lead to the producers offering us a fair contract to avoid a strike. Or it’s possible that we will have to strike for what we need.

I hope that you’ll stand with us in this fight.
In Solidarity…

Ep.33 - Who Needs Film School? (Part 1)

There’s a lot of mixed feelings about “film school” these days.

It’s too expensive, it’s not hands-on enough, it doesn’t prepare you for life on set, it’s a waste of time, why go to school when one can just learn on set........

The reality is that filmmaking has become democratized with easier access to camera gear, editing software, the advancement of phone technology, and the explosion of online platforms such as YouTube and Tik Tok. It seems like anyone and everyone can call themselves a filmmaker or at least a content creator.

It begs the question, how relevant is getting any kind of formal education in the field when there are so many other accessible avenues available?

Joining me in part 1 of my first three-part episode is Randall Dottin, professor and chairperson of the screenwriting department at New York Film Academy.

ABC did a little special for him too.

Episode 32 - Therapy For Creatives

Let's face it, we could all use therapy these days, and if you're a creative or artist, perhaps you need a professional who understands and even has some experience your field.

I chat with two NYC-based therapists about this type of specialization and what makes their clients so unique in their aspirations, fears, and struggles.
