The Look

In film work most producers, directors are looking for the right look for the different parts. So, it's important to dress the part when auditioning. Sometimes it can be difficult to get a bead on what the character should be wearing, but it is important to try to get guidance from the sides you are given. And , in reality this will help you get into character when performing your audition.

God’s smile





high, judgments, thoughts of

Elizabeth Errani Emaldi





If we pollute Mather Earth, we also poison ourselves and our future.



Who does not respect nature is an involved man separated from love for himself and for humanity.



The depressed does not know that he is the victim of himself, because he does not realize that the thought is energy that creates, then he… Continue

Giving Thanks

A prisoner in a WWII concentration camp was praying. A fellow inmate asked him, "What are you doing?", to which he replied, "Giving thanks to G-d."

"Giving thanks?! What on earth is there to be thankful for in this place of unspeakable horror?"

"I'm thanking Him for not making me one of THEM."

Happy Turkey Day

On May 29 in 1912, fifteen women were dismissed from their jobs at the Curtis Publishing Company in Philadelphia, PA for dancing the "Turkey Trot" while on the job. There has been debate as to whether they were fired for dancing that particular dance or for the quality of their performance. Having been a wee mite at the time, I wasn't there, but I'd bet it was the quality of performance.



After all, the Curtis Publishing Company was the publisher of the Saturday Evening Post, which… Continue

You there!

Despite the lack of worthwhile incentives offered by Florida to prospective film production, there are some exciting projects that are bubbling under the surface and awaiting financing. My friend Beau Burton, Exec Producer at Florida Films here in Sarasota, has shared some of the percolating projects that he is working on. I wish I could give more details on them, but that would be inappropriate at this time. Rest assured that I will tell you everything when the time is right.

Despite my… Continue

You've been Delled -- and you didn't even get kissed

Last July, I got hired at the very last minute -- 13 days before opening -- to light a show. My laptop computer was dying (rather dramatically so); there was no way it would make it through another show. At the time, I was in rural Vermont; there was obviously no time for mail-order and the closest thing to a computer store was Staples...and the only laptop they had that I could afford was a Dell.



I was hesitant to buy Dell. I'd had one 5 years before and the experience was not good… Continue

See Ya!

It's easy to get dazzled by the new video technology that can deliver high quality - even HD - images at an incredibly low cost. This allows many aspiring film folk to go out there and film away. However good this is, it does not address the quality of a script, direction or acting - not to mention composition or lighting. Somebody is still going to have to write an interesting script, be the producer who marshals the resources and find a director and actors who can deliver the vision of the… Continue

Who Are You?

Actors are often accused of hiding who they really are by playing parts that vary from their true selves. I like to think that actors should bring themselves into the roles they play. After all, an actor should apply his or her experiences and sometimes attitudes to truly embrace a character.Yes, we are still pretending to be someone else.

AMERICAN SOUTH starts shooting on the 13th for me, so I am prepping myself to be a sleazy mayor of a very small town. I am still awaiting word on the… Continue

Organic Wines: Sorting out the Confusion

SRQ Reviews Network



Vineyards



The truth be known, grapes have been cultivated for thousands of years and wine has been consumed in many cultures over that time frame.



Advances in agriculture have improved production, consistency, and yield. However the grape is highly susceptible to disease, pestilence, mold and fungus. As a result, the use of inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and… Continue
