Part I: Working with Paolo Sorrentino-Go Out and Get It
"And the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film goes to... Paolo Sorrentino, La Grande Bellezza (The Great Beauty)." Not everyone has the opportunity to sit and watch the Oscars as their mentor (and colleague) wins an award. Stage 32 member Andrea Lodovichetti had that opportunity last week when Director Paolo Sorrentino stepped on stage to accept his Oscar for La Grande Bellezza. Having worked for years as Sorrentino’s 2nd Assistant Director on several films, Andrea watched as Paol…

Tragedy on the Set: Remembering Sarah Jones
Last night at Oscar's, the Academy paid tribute to Sarah Jones, the camera assistant who was struck by a train and killed during pre-production of the Greg Allman biopic, MIDNIGHT RIDER. In today's guest post, Stage 32 member and award winning producer, Shaun O'Banion, gives his take on the tragedy. I thank him for his contribution. RB
RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions, and Other Fun Stuff (February 28th, 2014)
A jammed packed weekend blog this time around. I've highlighted some incredible articles that I would term must reads which I think you guys will really enjoy. I'm happy to report that worthwhile long form journalism, well researched opinion pieces, and non-narcissistic first person storytelling is not dead…at least for another week. A few that I highly recommend: Superstar indie producer, Cassian Elwes, tells the story of the 13 year ride of The Dallas Buyers Club and how he fo…

Remembering Harold Ramis
Harold Ramis (1944-2014) We lost a great talent this past week. Harold Ramis, writer, director, actor, producer, passed at the age of 69. Critics (and that means those who get paid to express their opinions and those who do so over cocktails in bars) love to categorize movies by era, and for many, the 80’s is considered the worst decade for film on the whole. For my money, however, the 80’s, particularly the first half, was a golden period for comedy. Wit…
