Adventures of a Fan Turned Producer
Before Greg Yaitanes’ contract was terminated by Fox, Greg directed a recently aired episode of Prison Break called “Under & Out.” Spoiler TV has a great little behind-the-scenes video of that episode. Check it out!
From Mike McCafferty comes the following request:
I need you to drop by http://theitroom.com and vote my videos (Click “This is Good”)up and perhaps leave a “Pro-Mike” comment or two. This is not some vanity gesture toward me but a financial one. They pay me to make these little “gems” and if there’s a perception that I am liked in the world wild web then they’ll continue to see this as a symbiotic relationship, rather than parasitic and I’ll keep getting paid. If you choose, you can also watch the videos, which are getting better (or at least more structured).
So go on over to The IT Room and give Mike a hand, will ya?
Paul Ben-Victor, as well as co-star Frances Fisher, have received high praise from Variety for their performances in Sexy Laundry. It’s great to see Paul recognized for his talent! Here are a few excerpts from the article:
Canadian scripter Michele Riml is fortunate to have such accomplished pros as film/stage vets Frances Fisher and Paul Ben-Victor inhabiting the personas of sexually challenged mid-lifers Alice and Henry…
Fortunately, Fisher and Ben-Victor are more than up to the task of realizing all the emotional twists and turns while investing a rollicking humor into the Alice/Henry travails.
It is a tribute to Ben-Victor’s craftsmanship that Henry’s emotional turnaround in the perplexing final scene makes the scripter’s feel-good ending actually seem plausible.
I’ve been reading William Martell’s daily script tips for quite some time now and always find them very worthwhile. I really would like to take one of his screenwriting classes. But in order to get him to come to the Bay Area to give one of his classes, a minimum of 20 people is needed. So I thought I’d ask around and see if there are any local screenwriters, aspiring screenwriters, or anyone else interested in screenwriting that might be interested in attending.
If you’re not familiar with William Martell, you can check out his bio at http://www.scriptsecrets.net/products/authorbi.htm. The class he teaches is a two-day class called Character First. You can check out the content at http://www.scriptsecrets.net/lecture/secretc2.htm. The price is $199.
If you’re interested, please contact Mr. Martell via his website or myself and I’ll pass the info on to him. I’m hoping that there will be enough interest to make this happen.
