Hi All! I've been busy working All American and haven't been able to post/comment this past month or so! Thought I'd post a little bit about my show. Thing about TV is no matter how big or small the episode is, it's 8 days to shoot. Or at least on regular network/cable show. Sometimes it's 7, we are...

I watched the first episode of "All American" last night, Xochi Blymyer. Whoa! I can tell it's gonna be an incredible series! Can't wait to check out the next episode.
Maurice Vaughan, yea it'll suck you in!
Hey You Guys, we got 2 more episodes to shoot, got the word the other day1 That was fun news! One more for me.
You're right, Xochi Blymyer. I'm on episode ten in the first season.

Ends soon!
A sad state of affairs, indeed. Coppola deserves better.
It's hard to believe a director like Francis Ford Coppola has had problems finding a home for "Megalopolis," Nick Phillips. I think he's eventually gonna find a home for it. I'm looking forward to see...

Maybe it's just a bloated, indulgent film? You can't always rest on your laurels. Anyone see Coppola's Youth Without Youth? It was a disaster.
The last line of that article says it's "So not good". Now I want to see it. Somehow, he'll get it picked up I bet.
It's been a minute since we had an update on the Rust shooting incident. At the time, if you look back at my posts, my opinion as someone with decades of set experience - and having directed and produced lots of action and stunt sequences - was that the armorer was primarily to blame, as well as the...

M LaVoie Agree with you 100% on this.
Thanks Stephen & M!
Based on her subpoena'd texts and recorded phone calls in prison, the armorer showed little remorse and a jarring lack of responsibility for her actions.
No one should ever ever touch a gun on set unless the armorer has checked it first and gives permission to hold to actor. Never. Period. As a 1st AD for a long time, I don't care who's rushing, I stil...

Is there a zoom session today for the Scripted Drama TV Directing Process?
Hey, I'd love to keep in touch with everyone from class. If interested, please "connect," especially if you're interested in the writer's group! Todd is the best! My email is seteres@serqetproductions.com
In The Netherlands, Madurodam.
Honestly though, I think if it actually does move from Park City it should not move to a major city. Rather, it should go to a city that has the capacity to handle the festival but also be away from the major cultural and economic centers. Ideally, the place would have natural beauty as well.
Rutger Oosterhoff I'm with you! And let's change the name to Dutchdance!
Eugene, Santa Fe, Sun Valley -- all nice picks as well

Don't count him out just yet. Apparently in development on another! This time off of a novel, however.
