Steven is a born and raised New York City actor and first became dedicated to the craft of acting while studying abroad in London, England during his undergraduate college years at
This was an unexpected journey because Steven was focused on his collegiate baseball career and wanted to pursue a career in TV and film production. Initially he wanted to study with the BBC in Great Britain before being accepted to the study abroad program. Unfortuneatly the majority of the BBC faculty radio and TV production courses were unavailable but do to his exposure to the arts by his parents and his admiration for the theater it compelled him to choose theater courses for the majority of his curriculm. Unexpectedly he became enamored with the texts of Shakespeare and was blessed with a wonderful British Shakespearean actress-teacher where she gave him his first lessons as an actor by encouraging him to embrace exploration of one`s own intuition and stating "There is no wrong answer". On a fateful evening in November of 1995 while attending a production of "Othello" at the Bridewall Theatre , Steven was watching the ensemble cast and began to visualize himself in the character of Othello and made a out loud verbal proclamation to himself that "I can do this" during the performance.
After receiving his BA in Mass Communications from SUNY OSWEGO, Steven committed himself to an acting career and he was accepted to The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. He was placed under the tutelage of the late great Irma Sandrey (an Actors Studio member and the senior teacher) at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. Upon completion of his Method acting training at LSTI, Steven went on to act in various productions in theater (Off & Off-Off Broadway), Indie films, TV, national and regional commercials and athletic print ad modeling. He became a proud SAG-AFTRA and AEA union member during this time. The most notable of Steven’s lead and principal roles were in films called “Game Day” a Toronto Film Festival nominee starring actor/comedian (from the HBO “Curb Your Enthusiasm” hit show) Richard Lewis and “Love Goggles” a Urban World Film Festival Winner co-starring Q-Tip hip hop artist legend from the group” A Tribe Called Quest”fame. Currently Steven is still auditioning and has embarked on an additional path within the acting industry as a teacher. He is currently receiving his teacher apprenticeship training at the Barrow Group Theatre.


I saw Mockingjay — Part 1 yesterday and, having carefully avoided reviews, poked around afterward to see what other people thought. I was shocked to find them running more or less 50% negative. So here’s why you should ignore the bad reviews and go see it.
The gripes · The critics seem to think that splitting the third Hunger Games book in two is a brazen cash grab, that the movie is dark and fashion-starved, and that there’s not enough action.
Why they’re wrong · Because Jennifer Lawrence, Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland, and Philip Seymour Hoffman are all at the top of their games and they’ve got a decent script to work with and if you like movies at all, why wouldn’t you want to watch that? In particular, Ms Lawrence turns the intensity up to 11 and keeps it there for two hours; my disbelief resists suspension pretty hard these days, but Mockingjay swatted it like a fly.
Yeah, it’s dark; it’s supposed to be dark. The situation is dark. And for those of us who know how it ends, I’m smelling a really clever build-up, setting expectations with no hand-tipping.
The action is pretty limited, but that District-Eight battle is a triumph of pacing and color and sequencing, large-scale visual poetry. And just because they’re not shooting at each other doesn’t mean those parts of the film are boring.
Finally, there’s plenty enough story here to fill two movies. My worry goes the other way: Part 1 left out the most of the flavors and events of District-13 life, and I have no idea how they’re going to squeeze the big District 2 set-piece, the crawl through the tunnels, the battle at the Capitol, the denouement, and the end-game, into a single Part 2.
It’s not perfect · In the books, you never really hear any of the details of the Districts’ rebellion; the movie tries to fill them in and falls on its face, with unarmed colonists charging armored machine-gun-wielding Imperial Marines uh oops Capitol Peacekeepers while carrying wooden boxes full of high explosives, or swarming up trees just like the orcs swarmed down the pillars of Moria.
And also Liam Hensworth. Not just boy candy but whiny boy candy. That character could actually have been rough-edged and it would have worked fine.
Other take-aways · First, this is certainly going to go into the small list of movies better than the underlying book.
Second, while I disagreed with the critics over splitting the book into two movies, I enjoyed that nearly every one of them said “…just like that wanker Peter Jackson.” As one who’s loathed the Jackson take on Tolkien almost end-to-end (see RoTK, Bah and Punishing Peter Jackson), I sense history swinging in my direction.

I'm with you. I thought it was very good. Jennifer Lawrence deserves her award nominations. I remarked to my son that ithe movie is definitely better than the book.
From: PB (Nov 24 2014, at 21:37)
I just recently caught the second film, as it finally made its way to Netflix streaming here in the U.S.
To me, the second film felt like it was largely a remake of the first film. Different details, but a similar overall plot and numerous similar scenarios. This left me ultimately... I don't know whether to say "bored" or "uninspired" -- and disappointed.
Hopefully, the third film is more novel (as in new, not book; although I could add that I've never read the books).
From: David Megginson (Nov 25 2014, at 11:28)
Agreed about Peter Jackson. Movies and books are different art forms with different constraints and strengths, but even allowing for that, trying to watch Jackson's bubblegum take on LoTR was like watching someone urinate on the Mona Lisa.
From: Nick Johnson (Nov 26 2014, at 08:01)
I agree - it's better than the book, though partly because Mockingjay is definitely the weakest book of the trilogy.


Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman's Kid is Joining 'Stranger Things 3'
When Stranger Things first hit Netflix in 2016, its retro charm and its excellent cast of characters made it an instant classic. Its second season, thankfully, proved the Duffer Brothers more than capable of following up their success with something just as strong. Now, fans are anxiously awaiting the third season, which was confirmed late last year, with no definite target release date (David Harbour, who plays Hopper on the show, even said that we might not get it until 2019).
But a new development arose last Friday, March 3, when Netflix announced that they would be adding Maya Hawke to the Season 3 cast. Maya is the 19-year-old daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, which totally adds up when you consider her features.
According to Netflix's announcement on Twitter, Hawke will be playing Robin, an "alternative girl," and so we should "get ready for some angst." They've also told Variety a little about Robin's background, saying that she is "bored with her mundane day job," and that she "seeks excitement in her life and gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a dark secret in Hawkins."
Prior to the announcement of her Stranger Things role, Hawke was cast as Jo March for the BBC miniseries adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Before that, there were rumors that she was director Sofia Coppola's pick for the lead in a planned film adaptation of The Little Mermaid, but that producers resisted, causing Coppola to leave the project.
Along with the announcement of Hawke as Robin, Netflix also moved Priah Ferguson (who you'll remember as Erica, Lucas' spunky little sister) up to a recurring role. And based on the meteoric rise of Millie Bobby Brown and Natalia Dyer after breaking out with Stranger Things, it's reasonable to expect a bright future for Hawke in Hollywood.
In the meantime, have fun trying to figure out whether Maya resembles her famous mom or her famous dad more:
Turns out it’s a high degree of mutual interruptibility,” he said. “You had to have a high tolerance for that in my family. There were always a lot of ideas — and grudges, too — pouring forth. Being somewhat social oddballs who were often left to our own devices, we became, as people who are marooned together often do, a little funky.”

Self/less is the kind of film that can be enjoyed in the right circumstances. Unfortunately, for the production company hoping for some Ryan Reynolds magic this weekend, those circumstances are not in a packed movie theater, paying for overpriced tickets and concessions. But you know what? Curled up on the couch on a lazy Sunday, with entirely too many commercial breaks, this sci-fi thriller might be on to something.
Self/less just doesn’t set its sights very high. It opens with a compelling premise — that a new technology could transfer a dying man’s mind into a young body, allowing them to live on. It’s the kind of thing you’d expect in a Twilight Zone episode, complete with unexpected consequences. But where Twilight Zone may delve into such a premise in a multi-faceted way, asking far-reaching questions of societal impact, Self/less barely goes beyond the ideas presented in its trailers.
At the outset we are introduced to Damian (Ben Kingsley), an uber-rich older man, desperately trying to cling to his lavish lifestyle as cancer takes over his body. He learns of a new and secretive technology, called shedding, that would allow him to transfer his consciousness to a new body, as long as he’s willing to let his old life go. He decides to go for it, with his consciousness transferred into a young body, played by Ryan Reynolds.
Quick aside: this is the last we see of Ben Kingsley in the film, and it’s for the best. While it may have added some depth to plot to see his old self struggling with the new body, Kingsley’s performance is distracting and uneven. If he received any direction for his performance, I have to imagine it was in the form of “Whose Line is it Anyway?”-style callouts from a live studio audience. He can never nail down whether he’s an Italian mobster or a British sophisticate. Later on, Ryan Reynolds and an eight-year-old spend a few minutes splashing around in a pool and manage to be far more entertaining.
Anyway, the plot moves along as anyone who saw the trailer would expect. Damian starts to see visions of a past that isn’t his, and decides to look for answers. Unfortunately for him, the company that created shedding doesn’t want its secret sauce to go public, and his hunt for the truth becomes a cat and mouse game to avoid a deadly cover-up.
The back-and-forth as Damian goes Jason Bourne on his pursuers is reasonably entertaining, but it also feels lazy in a film that opens with a “big idea” premise. Sure, there’s the grunt who continually transfers his consciousness into new bodies when the previous ones are broken by Damian, but this isn’t given any of the Terminator-esque implications you’d expect. Self/less shows us a few neat ideas, says, “That’s kinda cool, right?” and then pisses off in a series of car chases and gunfights for the duration.
Despite the sci-fi premise at the heart of Self/less, it manages to culminate in a by-the-numbers thriller. That said, I didn’t hate it, and I wasn’t bored by the lack of deep questions, simply let-down by the fact that it never tried. But hey, if you’re flipping through the channels in a year and it’s on, maybe give it a shot.

THE UNCONDEMNED, a film by Michele Mitchell and Nick Louvel
I had the pleasure of participating in the international launch of the feature documentary “The Uncondemned,” a film by my friend and colleague Michele Mitchell, and Nick Louvel. In New York, I met witnesses JJ, NN, and OO, who are rape survivors and who testified at the ICTR in 1997 in the landmark case Prosper v. Akayesu. This was the first case to try an individual for genocide, including acts of rape and sexual violence.
In basic Kinyarwanda and lengthy French, I got to know these wonderful women, Serafina, Victoire, Cecile, and Godelieve, founder of SEVOTA, an organization dedicated to supporting widows and survivors of rape after the genocide. These women traveled from their small town of Taba, Rwanda, to New York City, for the film launch.
On Wednesday, October 19, we joined over 700 people in screening the film at the United Nations, with remarks by Mr. Adama Dieng, Mrs. Zainab Hawa Bangura of the United Nations, Amb. Pierre Prosper, Michele Mitchell, Godelieve, and others.
On Sunday October 23, I had the privilege of moderating a panel with these phenomenal women and the film director Michele, at Eileen Fisher in SoHo. Eileen Fisher is a corporate sponsor of the film.

Cinema Journal Teaching Dossier
Teaching with Primary Sources Vol 4(3)
Although my university is just thirty-seven miles south of Los Angeles—home to many impressive film and television archives and special collection libraries—my students often lack transportation to travel to them, are not able to patronize these institutions during normal business hours due to conflicting classes, or simply do not have the necessary time to devote to on-site archival research. Digital repositories and search engines are a welcome alternative, providing unprecedented access to primary source materials that now enable me to incorporate them directly into my classroom and research assignments. In this essay, I articulate various strategies that I utilize to teach film history to undergraduates in terms of accessing, researching, and using these digitized primary materials, in particular for assignments on studio-era Hollywood. These materials include newspapers databases available on Proquest through my university’s subscription, various trades journals, fan magazines, additional print materials from the Media History Digital Library, and the photo archive of movie theaters on the website cinematreasures.org. I have also developed elective classes on Hollywood Film Censorship, Postwar Hollywood and Hollywood cinema in 1939 that make use of the Production Code Administration (PCA) records and other materials on microfilm. Teaching with primary source materials brings the past to life for my students and attests to how history is a living, innovative, and evolving entity that they can directly participate in with their own research.
Primary Materials in the Undergraduate Film History Survey Class: Online Databases
I have incorporated digitized primary materials into my undergraduate survey film history course (International Film History Part 1, 1894-1959) as a way of making film history “come alive” for my students. One assignment that achieves this goal is the “local movie theater report,” in which students find a movie theater from their hometown using cinematreasures.org. Students research a series of questions about the theater (its location in the town/city, the design, audience who patronized the theater, whether it still exists, etc.) so that they get a more nuanced understanding of how movie-going and motion picture exhibition operated in the first half of the twentieth century. This assignment fosters a personal connection for students between their hometown, historical movie-going practices, and urban development, as in many cases, the nickelodeon theaters or picture palaces no longer exist or they have been remodeled for another use.
Another assignment calls for students to document a film’s reception during Hollywood’s “Pre-Code” era via film criticism available via Proquest’s historical newspaper databases. Using titles such as Baby Face (Green, 1933), Trouble in Paradise (Lubitsch, 1932), and/or I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (LeRoy, 1932), I model in class how to find film reviews using The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Chicago Tribune and then underscore how we can comprehend film patronage by analyzing reviews. My students tend to be preoccupied with what the “historical audience” thought about films in their original release, and want to know if they made money at the box-office. I developed this assignment both as a primary materials based solution to their audience fixations and to highlight the differing styles and purposes of film criticism in the twentieth century. For example, after completing this activity, students have inquisitively remarked about how historical national paper responses varied from city to city compared to the uniformity of contemporary film review discourse. Others noted how one could not simply do a Google search to examine a multitude of national papers at once or consult an aggregated data of critics from a website (such as Rottentomatoes.com) to obtain film reviews from the 1930s.
The Media History Digital Library provides a compelling contrast to mainstream newspapers with its trade journals that include substantive albeit limited runs of The Motion Picture Herald, Variety, and Film Daily. For example, the “What the Picture Did for Me” column in The Motion Picture Herald allows students to discern how small town and/or rural audiences responded differently to Pre and Post-enforced Code films while Variety’s film reviews illustrated the contemporary industry view of the period that often fixated on its box office potential. This multi-faceted reception study comprised of diverse film reviews enables students to contextualize a film during its original release, conceptualize the multi-faceted U.S. audience in the 1930s, and understand the often distinct reception of Hollywood cinema between urban and rural areas. After consulting Film Daily and The New York Times reviews, one student discovered how John Ford’s Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) premiere in Springfield, Illinois brought more than 100 New York and Midwest critics to the city, with the state legislature passing a resolution to commemorate the occasion (Anon. 1939, 4). This was part of a calculated marketing strategy by 20th Century-Fox, since ninety percent of the studio’s theater chain was in small, rural Midwestern towns. What’s more, these reviews demonstrate how the film celebrated mid-western values and the triumph of U.S. law through Abraham Lincoln’s opposition to frontier justice to appeal to its target regional audience. As this example attests, students actively participate in contextualizing film history, rather than passively reading about it in a textbook.
Primary Materials in the Upper-Division Classroom: the PCA Files
While The Media History Digital Library provides a useful introduction to primary materials for undergraduate students in survey classes, archival collections on microfilm are the equivalent analog resource that I use to teach advanced film history electives that include film censorship and a postwar Hollywood class. When I arrived at Chapman University in August 2010, I reached out to the Leatherby Library about purchasing the PCA records (also available through the Margaret Herrick’s online Digital Collections), a selection of which are available on microfilm as the History of Cinema Series 1 and additional primary collections on microfilm (including J. Edgar Hoover and Radicalism in Hollywood, Part 1: Communist Infiltration of the Motion Picture Industry and Part 2: Investigations of Actors, Actresses and Directors, and Major Film Periodicals for Media Research). With the library’s support, I developed specific classes around these materials and stimulate student use of the library. For instance, I created a primary research paper assignment for my class on censorship in which students select a film between 1930-1960 and its corresponding PCA file to analyze the censorship negotiation of a Hollywood film that elucidates how the film can be seen as a historical record of its time, genre, and/or place of production, especially in terms social attitudes towards gender, sexuality, and race. In my postwar U.S. cinema class, I shaped an assignment around the J. Edgar Hoover files to illuminate the impact of the House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and the resulting blacklisting of hundreds of Hollywood creatives by the early 1950s. Students are initially hesitant to use the microfilm reader because they have never used the technology before (and it requires them to physically go to the library). Nevertheless, they soon become comfortable with the library’s new, state of the art, digital microfilm reader, which allows them to scan the file into a PDF for easy reference later on. I invite our film studies liaison librarian to lead a research session on how to access these primary materials on microfilm as well as important secondary scholarly sources in film and media studies at the Leatherby Library. The resulting papers are among the strongest undergraduate research that I have evaluated thus far in my teaching career, one of which, “Moviegoers and the Moon in 1953,” examined the complex production of Otto Preminger’s sexually-provocative film The Moon Is Blue (1953) to illuminate the perspectives of censorship groups, artistic authorities, governmental legislatures, and the Production Code Administration (PCA) in their respective appraisals of the Hollywood industry’s movie-going public. This student essay won the Kevin and Tam Ross Undergraduate Research Prize at Chapman University, which recognizes excellent research and effective use of library resources by undergraduate students.
For a course devoted to Hollywood in the year 1939, I used a combination of digital primary materials. The final paper asked students to select a Hollywood film released in 1939 and trace its reception across various contexts using available digital repositories. Students began with their film’s entry in the AFI catalog, noting the cited industry trades and newspapers. From there, they searched for those articles in the Proquest newspaper databases and then composed a two-three page paper about how critics reviewed their film for U.S. audiences of 1939. The third phase introduced students to digitized industry trades and fan magazines collections at the Media History Digital Library so that they could understand their film from a business/exhibition and fan perspective. Students explored how these different sources constructed the movie “fan” and “consumer” by analyzing the articles and advertisements featured in the magazines. Finally, they researched existing scholarship on their chosen film and discussed the film’s reputation (or lack thereof) in contemporary film and media studies publications. Here they also considered significant thematic or stylistic aspects of their film. After analyzing both primary and secondary sources they assessed how the film epitomized its historical moment in Hollywood circa 1939. Students researched an array of Hollywood released in 1939, from the adventure A-class epic Gunga Din, the second film adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Woman’s picture The Women, and the aviation action film Only Angels Have Wings, to B-movies, such as the forgotten The Return of Dr. X (that features a pre-stardom Humphrey Bogart as a menacing vampire doctor), the propaganda anti-Nazi film Beast of Berlin, and the Sherlock Holmes serial The Hound of the Baskervilles. Their feedback confirmed how primary materials research explains film history as a practice. One student remarked that the most effective aspect of the course that promoted student learning were the “primary research demonstrations using the digital repositories,” while another stressed how they “loved” discussing the “social and artistic implications” behind the films with primary materials so that they “could contextualize the film in its own time period.”
Primary Materials in the Era of Digital Research
Even as databases and digital repositories make archival research attainable for undergraduate research, they also create something of a pedagogical quandary for film and media historians, as items left in their original state risk erasure from our collective cultural memory (Hafner, 2007). This “digital paradox” raises serious questions both for researching and teaching primary materials (see also Carman 2014). We encourage our students to use primary materials with the relative ease of accessing collections online, yet, focusing solely on digital research has the potential to deter students from exploring additional harder-to-access-but-plentiful physical materials. As Charles Acland, Kit Hughes, and Eric Hoyt ponder in their introduction to the Arclight Guidebook to Media History and the Digital Humanities, are we as media historians, “innovating and adapting digital tools to address our research questions, or are we adapting our research interests to fit the available datasets and tools?” (Acland et. al. 2017, 1).
I contend that we as teachers of film and media history do a bit both. Digital tools have opened up the archives and democratized primary materials to make original research opportunities much more feasible for undergraduate (and graduate) education. At the same time, if we shape assignments exclusively around existing digitized materials—which for film and media studies, tend to cluster around the early to mid-twentieth century U.S. cinema, and the Hollywood film industry—we foreclose potential research opportunities of harder-to-access paper documents housed in archives and special collection libraries that often rely on patron use to remain open for research. Nevertheless, perhaps the mediation of primary materials vis-à-vis digital technology is the current incarnation of how scholars have taught film history since its inception: altered from the original historical experience and mediated through different apparatuses and technologies. Understood through this lens, digitized primary materials have the potential to empower students to critically analyze and participate in the writing of film history for themselves that in the process, enables the past to come back to life.

In the world of filmmaking, the art of storytelling extends far beyond the script, actors, and camera work. Lighting, often considered the unsung hero of the film industry, plays a pivotal role in shaping the mood, atmosphere, and visual impact of a movie. From creating a sense of drama to setting the tone, lighting can make a profound difference in the way a story is told on the silver screen. In this article, we will delve into how lighting can make a significant difference in filmmaking and explore some essential techniques employed by cinematographers to achieve their cinematic visions. If you’re in Ramsey County and in need of Chimney Tuckpointing Ramsey County, our experienced professionals have you covered.
Setting the Mood
One of the most significant contributions of lighting in filmmaking is its ability to set the mood and evoke emotions. Properly crafted lighting can transport the audience into different worlds, conveying a wide range of emotions from joy to sorrow, excitement to fear. For instance, a dimly lit room with soft, warm hues can create a cozy, romantic atmosphere, while harsh, stark lighting can instill tension and unease. Whether it’s a home renovation project or a large cleanup task in Austin, TX, our Dumpster Rental Austin, TX offer the right containers to handle the job effectively.
In the classic film “The Godfather,” cinematographer Gordon Willis masterfully used low-key lighting to create a sense of darkness and foreboding, reflecting the morally complex world of organized crime. This iconic visual style became known as “The Godfather Look” and showcases the power of lighting to set the mood and enhance storytelling.

Enhancing Visual Composition
Lighting also plays a crucial role in shaping the visual composition of a film. Through careful placement and manipulation of lights, cinematographers can draw the audience’s attention to specific elements within a frame. This technique is often used to emphasize characters, objects, or particular details that are essential to the narrative.

Consider the use of chiaroscuro lighting in film noir classics like “Double Indemnity” or “The Maltese Falcon.” By casting deep shadows and sharp contrasts between light and dark, these films achieved a visually striking and moody aesthetic, emphasizing the moral ambiguity of their characters.
Creating Depth and Dimension
Properly executed lighting can add depth and dimension to a scene, making it visually captivating. Cinematographers use techniques like three-point lighting to illuminate subjects effectively and create a sense of depth. This method involves using a key light, a fill light, and a backlight to sculpt the subject and separate it from the background.

In Steven Spielberg’s “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” lighting was crucial in bringing the lovable alien to life. Soft, warm lighting was used to create a sense of wonder and empathy, while backlighting helped E.T. stand out and appear ethereal. The interplay of light and shadow added depth to the character, making him more believable and relatable.

Shaping Time and Space
Lighting can also manipulate the perception of time and space within a film. Cinematographers often use natural lighting to establish the time of day or season, which can be a powerful storytelling tool. Additionally, the use of practical lights, such as lamps and streetlights, can help create a sense of place and atmosphere, grounding the audience in the film’s world.
In the 2017 film “Blade Runner 2049,” the cinematography by Roger Deakins employed a combination of artificial and natural lighting to immerse the audience in a dystopian future. The use of neon lights and holographic projections not only added a futuristic feel but also contributed to the film’s noir-inspired aesthetic.

The application for The Renaud Program is now open, and students entering 9th-12th grades are invited to apply!
The Renaud Program is a week-long, intensive story-telling and documentary filmmaking program for Pulaski County students entering grades 9th – 12th. The Renaud Program was created in honor of storyteller Brent Renaud, an award-winning documentary filmmaker who devoted his life to telling the stories of others. Renaud was murdered by Russian troops on March 13, 2022; he was in Ukraine to cover the refugee crisis and to capture the story of those Ukrainian civilians fleeing their home country following the invasion of Russia.
Brent and his brother, Craig, have made a number of documentaries including Dope Sick Love, Last Chance High, Off to War, and Meth Storm. Several of their documentaries have won major awards in the film industry.
The Renaud Program will center around telling the stories of others, including ethics, subject matter, interview techniques, writing, videography and editing. Professionals in the fields of journalism, literature, photography, and cinematography will serve as guest instructors and mentors to students in the program.
The Renaud Program is co-sponsored by The Anthony School, an alma mater of the Renaud brothers, and The Brent Renaud Foundation, and will be held on the campus of The Anthony School June 17th-21st.

Gordon Pinsent, a lion in the Canadian artistic community, and a portrait painter himself, chooses to sit for Star Portraits in the Hart House Theatre at University of Toronto, because it’s a place where his dear departed wife, Charmion, used to perform. The three artists are wildly diverse in their styles and technique, but are all profoundly moved by his stories and gentle warmth as he speaks of his wife, his beloved Newfoundland, and his own drive to keep performing, even as he turns 80. And when it comes to painting his portrait, these three artists display through their diverse works the surprisingly personal way that he has affected them.
Gordon Pinsent is a forty-year veteran of theatre, film, television and radio. He also successfully balances acting and writing (The Rowdyman and John and the Misses were both turned into feature films, with Gordon directing the latter). He won a Gemini for his writing and starred in CBC’s Win Again. He is a recipient of two ACTRA awards, three GENIE Awards, five Gemini Awards, and a DORA Award. Though Gordon won critical raves for his dramatic role in Away from Her, he is no stranger to comedy, having played Hap Shaughnessy on The Red Green Show.

Julie Andrews stars in Thoroughly Modern Millie, a 1967 musical that features catchy songs, fun dance numbers, delightful performances, and egregious racism. The movie is about Millie, a ‘modern’ woman of 1922, trying to make her way in the Big City. While Millie’s attempts to find love is the main focus of the movie, the plot also heavily features Millie’s landlady and her two Chinese accomplices drugging and kidnapping white women into slavery (played entirely for laughs, of course). It’s as bad as it sounds.
Elizabeth watched this movie over and over in her childhood, and discusses what makes it great (the singing and dancing) as well as what makes it impossible to recommend (the aforementioned racism) plus more! We talk about how to process something unforgivably problematic, and how it feels to have something you loved as a child that you can never share with actual children.


Romeo is a healthy teenager and behaves quickly without the life experience to comprehend what might result from his impetuous behavior. So, like most teenagers throughout history, he believes his wants equal the correct decision. He cannot realize or accept what might happen until it happens. In short he loves his parents but cannot abide their authority because they do not tell him what he wants to hear. Juliet has the same motivating factors.
She will have what she wants because it is new and exciting. For her an adventure awaits. This episode has been a wonderful opportunity for me.
Thank you for posting your question. Please remember that Shakespeare wrote from his own experience as a father to a teenaged daughter and also for financial profits. His audience especially loved the word play and the relevance of the human situation. I taught Romeo and Juliet for over thirty years and I have a son and a daughter whose teen years had a lot of the same issues. Talk to your parents about these issues. Chances are they, too, experienced growing pains of their own.
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Study guides: To reject their parents, is to reject their hatred, think of it not as disobeying the parents themselves, but their ideals.
Romeo and Juliet Coursework? I would like you to portray this closeness by being very friendly towards her, and if you get to know the actress who is playing the nurse, this would show well on the stage. Although Juliet may have a close relationship with the Nurse, it is the total opposite with both of her parents. She is very distant from them both, and I feel that you can show this when you are acting as Juliet by doing a few things.
Not making proper eye contact with them, and standing a fair distance away from them will both contribute to the fact that you are distant from them. Yet she rapidly changes her mind when she meets Romeo, and she falls in love with him. You and Romeo should be very close; you should show this by being fairly shy around him, and smiling at him whilst making a lot of eye contact with him.
All of these things should lead to a good performance from you all. There is one main scene in the play that I would like to fully explain to you, and this is Act 3 Scene 5, which you will find in the script attached. This is the morning after they have spent the night together and consummated their marriage by sleeping together, which if they had not done so the marriage would not have been complete. I want to concentrate on this scene because there is great deal of dramatical tension, for example when Lady Capulet first enters, just after Romeo has left.
In the whole of this scene Juliet is very restricted in what she can say, as she is grieving for Tybalt yet is still sad that Romeo has gone. Her mother misinterprets her sadness from Romeo leaving and tries to console her, which Juliet has to go along with and to lie to her mother about what is really wrong with her. In this scene in general she Juliet is very isolated, it is as though nobody wants to help her in any way, not even the Nurse; her close friend.
The events that happen throughout the scene conspire against Juliet in some way. This is the scene where the audience should begin to feel very sorry for Juliet, because she could lose everything she has, her status, her power and most of all Romeo. The main points in Act 3 Scene 5 that I want to concentrate on are: Falling to your knees, meanings of lines and words, and also how the audience are meant to react.
I will start at line 64, when Lady Capulet first enters, as I feel that this is the first significant part in the scene. Lady Capulet enters suddenly, and sees if Juliet is up.

I hear the Oscars are this weekend. Everywhere I turn there are ads, commercials, and party ideas for the Oscars. I have to say, I am not much of a movie person. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching movies. But once I see it once, I don’t really ever need to see it again. It is entertaining for the 2 hours I am watching it, but after that I am done. We have a friend who is obsessed with movies, and he does not understand how I do not have a “favorite” movie. So needles to say, I won’t be watching the Oscars on Sunday. But, I do have a dessert that would be great to snack on if you are watching them. Even if you don’t watch them, you are going to want to make these.

British Columbia Scene to feature two French-language plays
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
BC Scene is pleased to partner with Ottawa’s Théâtre la Catapulte to present two French-language theatre productions during next year’s festival (April 21–May 3, 2009).
Founded in 1992, Théâtre la Catapulte, a Franco-Ontarian theatre company specializing in new work, is acclaimed for its boldly innovative and original productions for adult and family audiences.
The first play is La Vue d’en haut (The View from Above) by B.C. playwright James Long, translated by Philippe Ducros, directed by Craig Holzschuh, and produced by Vancouver’s Théâtre la Seizième. Co-presented by Théâtre la Catapulte and BC Scene, it will run April 22 to 25, 2009 at La Nouvelle Scène.
A searing exploration of marginalization in today’s society, this deeply poignant, sensitive and compassionate play got rave reviews in Vancouver.
Vancouver, 2012. It’s been raining steadily for three years—so steadily, in fact, that the 2010 Winter Olympics had to be cancelled, but not before the city’s junkies and street people were rounded up and forcibly relocated to a giant silo on the edge of town. Now the land mass of the North Shore is collapsing, and houses are sliding down the hill. One house that’s still standing—barely—belongs to Stuart and Marsha. Their adult son, Roland, has just shown up with his girlfriend, Trish. Roland hasn’t seen his parents in years—not since he landed in the silo with the other junkies. As the characters struggle to survive in this apocalyptic scenario, tensions run high and the most unlikely schemes seem quite plausible…
The second play is RAGE, a thriller by acclaimed B.C. playwright Michele Riml about individual responsibility in the school system. Directed by Joël Beddows and co-produced by Théâtre la Catapulte in association with BC Scene, RAGE will run April 29 to May 2, 2009 at La Nouvelle Scène.
Director Joël Beddows felt it was important to stage this work, which has been described as a play that can literally change people’s lives. The original English-language production (by Vancouver’s Green Thumb Theatre in 2004) won the Sydney Risk Prize for Outstanding Original Play and the Jessie Richardson Award for Outstanding Theatre Production. The French translation is by Sarah Migneron (recipient of the 2004 Prix O’Neill Karch) in a first-time collaboration with Joël Beddows.
Raymond (who calls himself Rage) is about to be expelled from school for delivering a history presentation in which he appeared to sympathize with Adolf Hitler. He arrives for an interview with Laura, the school guidance counsellor, an idealistic pacifist. Raymond eloquently defends his actions and challenges Laura’s « theoretical » idealism. Their apparently innocuous meeting takes a dangerous turn when Raymond pulls out a gun.
Tickets for these two productions are currently available from Théâtre la Nouvelle Scene by phone at (613) 241-2727 or in person at 333 King-Edward Avenue in Ottawa.


Maria Dyer is a filmmaker whose work fuses fantasy and reality to create emotionally visceral characters and strange, surreal worlds. Her work straddles a range of genres, but is consistent in its humanity, courage, and off-beat humor.
Maria’s early work began making large-scale stop-motion animations. Maria studied writing and directing as a Dean’s Fellow at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where she received her MFA in 2016. Maria’s award-winning short films "And Lo, Guilharmenia" and "Little People" have been screened nationally and internationally.

She teaches filmmaking at New York University. Most recently, Maria has produced the indie film “In Utero.”


Film has become a voice for people all over the world to creatively express what is happening in their countries, societies, and everyday lives. It documents real stories, gives a glimpse into another world–be it a different culture, language, or someone’s personal perspective. Film can help showcase what is important and can give anyone that unheard voice.
The Home Planet Film Festival of New York was founded to give individuals this voice. These films, the stories, and artists who have put them together are given a platform to screen. Through this process, the festival is striving to break down barriers and show truth. The festival is committed to screening films that will make a genuine difference in the world today.
The festival is accepting submissions for the following categories: narrative and documentary features, narrative and documentary shorts, public service announcements, and animation.

On the eve of the Academy Awards allow me to pay tribute to the ART of Cinema, to creating altered states of reality. Inception was one of this years movies I appreciated for its creative journey from reality into the world of the imagination.
Inception is a 2010 science fiction film, which was written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Dileep Rao, Tom Berenger, and Michael Caine. DiCaprio plays Dom Cobb, a specialized spy or corporate espionage thief. His work consists of secretly extracting valuable commercial information from the unconscious mind of his targets while they are asleep and dreaming. Unable to visit his children, Cobb is offered a chance to regain his old life in exchange for an almost impossible task: "inception", the planting of an idea into a target's subconscious.

Continuing my quest to gain some photo skills in the film and theatre industry I contacted the Fluellen Theatre Company director to request an opportunity to photo-document a dress rehearsal.
The performance was based on the Dylan Thomas’‘A child’s Christmas in Wales’.
The whole evening was an amazing experience; the entire troupe was so professional and committed to the performances, and yet it was evident how much they were enjoying themselves. I tried to stay professional and detached, concentrating on the task at hand, but I was still felt like a member of the audience enjoying the performances. “I must stay focussed”.
All the performers were so gracious to permit me to intrude on their rehearsal and I am so grateful for their patience and cooperation.
The Fluellen Theatre Company has been producing classical theatre in Wales since 2000, with the first production being Macbeth. They are one of the most prolific and consistent producers in Wales, with over 50 major productions of plays by Shakespeare, John Webster, Chekhov, Pinter, Brecht, Sophocles, Dylan Thomas and George Elliot. The Fluellen Theatre Company is based in Swansea, all new productions premier at the Swansea Grand Theatre before often touring all over the country.


It hadn’t even been released in the States when 1917 won best motion picture for a drama, as well as an award for the best director of a motion picture drama at the Golden Globes. If I didn’t have high hopes for the movie at this point, you can bet that I did after this award ceremony. Even typing this now after the Oscar nominations were announced last week (which 1917 tied second with 10 nominations), I’m very thankful that the film not only lived up to those hopes, but exceeded them entirely. The Sam Mendes produced film and top notch cast takes you on a horrific journey through a war torn France during the First World War that you’ll have trouble forgetting.
Before we explore roughly 4-5 of the more unforgettable scenes, the continuous shot was truly remarkable. The entire story playing out as one big scene will have you captivated by the sheer pressure these two, essentially kids, have on their shoulders. Orders given by Colin Firth, they were to warn the Second British Battalion (and thus also save a family member who was a lieutenant on the Front Line) of the inevitable German ambush. This will have you on the edge of your seat the whole 2 hour runtime, with room for little break. Jackson from our brother podcast over at At The Minute texted our group saying it “felt like 30 minutes” – and he’s completely right.
***OKAY SPOILER TIME***
There are many mesmerising scenes in this film that aren’t for the fainthearted, as well as moments of just pure awe. I’ll try not to randomly bounce around the movie, but first up was the death of King Tommen, excuse me I mean Lance Corporal Blake (played by Dean-Charles Chapman, Game of Thrones). It was Blake’s instinctive nature to help somebody when they’re about to burn to death in a grounded fighter plane, even if it’s the enemy, that led to his sad death. The following minute was tough to watch as the German pilot ultimately stabs Blake in the stomach, and Lance Corporal Schofield (George MacKay, 11.22.63) comforts his friend as the colour fades from his face before he passes. The pilot did receive a couple of shots from Schofield to the chest before that, but you’d think that this scene would be more towards the climax of the movie right? This surprisingly wasn’t the case and leaves Schofield to complete the mission alone, and is our main focus for the remaining 45 minutes (give or take) of the film.
Next up, Schofield putting his hand through a decaying man’s chest was pretty fucking gross to be honest. That got a lot of “ews” and “aws” in the theater. Some people may disagree with me here, but that wasn’t the worst moment of the film. I think being dragged down a very aggressive river after escaping a group of Germans, to then think you have reached the riverbank which was in actual fact a MOUND of dead bodies that you were climbing over? Yeah that was more fucked up to me. Either way, both parts of the film were ridiculously uncensored to the atrocities of a World War and it definitely had that shock factor. The rating R (or 15 if you’re from my mother country), is certainly justified.
Once Schofield made it onto land, this led into my favourite scene of the film and honestly quite possibly one of my favourite scenes of all time. Unbeknownst to Schofield, he had trudged into a wooded area where a group of fellow Britons were waiting for their time to join the upcoming battle. Schofield slumps down and takes a moment to breathe and you can see the amount of pain he’s in and how physically exhausted he is. We heard a little in the trailer, but during this scene a soldier was singing “The Wayfaring Stranger” to a dead-silent group which, if you’ve experienced the film, just sends complete and utter chills down the back of your spine. The lyrics include:
“I’m going there to see my Father,
And all my loved ones who’ve gone on.”
It’s almost a prayer. These soldiers know that they’re about to enter the battle and they’re scared shitless. There is a huge chance that they’ll be joining some loved ones in death and the camera briefly shows all of these scared young men. The writing here for this was amazing.
Fighting his exhaustion and with the British attack already underway, we then get to watch the pinnacle and most intense part of the movie of Schofield sprinting through No-Man’s-Land towards the barracks of the Commander. This happened to be Benedict Cumberbatch, but the message was finally told to the Commander and he called off the attack. I’ll refrain from any more rubbish GOT jokes, but Blake’s older brother (Richard Madden, Game of Thrones) was then found to be alive and well. It was an emotional interaction as the news about his younger brother was told, and Schofield asks if he could write to their mother to reassure her that her son hadn’t died alone, rather in the arms of a friend.
As the movie comes to a close, an unanswered question posed by a French woman earlier in the movie is revealed – Schofield has a wife and two young daughters at home. You could’ve guessed that by the way Schofield acted towards the French mother and her daughter, but the last moment of the film is of our main character sitting alone by a tree, caressing a photograph of his family no doubt thinking of them. Viewers weren’t aware the entire movie what Schofield had to lose as he faced death in every direction, but we finally found out and it made the journey that more terrifying when you look back on it.
If you couldn’t tell by this short “review”, 1917 is already one of my favourite war movies. I apologise to Mark Strong (Kingsman, Shazam, Sherlock Holmes) who didn’t get a shout out but he was also in this film for 5-10 minutes to complete the stellar cast. I have no doubt that 1917 and Sam Mendes will be a frontrunner at the Oscars this February.
My Review: 8.8/10

Welcome fans of Womanthology and comics alike!
One of the biggest names in the entertainment industry is James Lipton. His education seminar and hit TV series Inside the Actor's Studio gives movie enthusiasts insight into the big, secretive world known as Hollywood. But, with all due respect to the man that inspires me daily, the show falls short of its potential.
I understand the general public is not as interested in hearing from writers and directors as they are from the people they see on the screen. I am not the general public. Actors are given the power and fame they have because they had guidance and direction those behind the camera, from the original creators. That's who I want to hear from, those with the power of creation.
And then came Womanthology.
Inside the Creator's Studio allows fans and fellow creators the chance to hear from those who have succeeded. I feel honored, blessed, and humbled to be given the chance to speak to some of the most talented women in the entertainment industry.
It is my privilege to present Womanthology's Inside the Creator's Studio.
