A good script can offer that reassurance right from the start. Actors are taught to go with the flow, be themselves and...

As the season of giving winds down, we are temporarily offered a reflective reprieve before launching into the agendas of the next year. There are so many hopeful opportunities on the horizon! Book adaptations, scripts in development, scripts going into production, new technology for making films, and of course a virtual workflow that has changed the industry. Where is one to start?

I was able to attract students and transitioned away from retail. I have been composing music all my life, and had gotten very involved in scoring...

It’s set in historic times but also very relatable to current day problems. It is also educational in showing how problems were once dealt with. We were able to shoot during the summer of 2020 with the intention of pitching to a local streaming service in Slovenia and maybe once even internationally. 1. How it all Started A friend of ours, Sandi told us about...
