Worth A Look

Here are a couple of posts from over on the Greenpage that might be worth your time:

What is This 1950? Women Are Missing as TV Creators

Women & Hollywood: "It’s pilot time in Hollywood. The time of the year when all the networks look at the submitted scripts and decide which ones to take to pilot. Then after they see the pilots, the networks then decide which shows to put on the air next season. It is a cut throat and difficult process."


George Picks Up the Black Ball...

An Angry White Guy in Chicago: "Sunday was the day that the DCA Theater folks arranged to have The (edward) Hopper Project be ADA Compliant for one show. Specifically, they hired two sign language interpreters to sit onstage and translate the show for anyone deaf and a guy who describes the show via individual headset units for the blind."


A Sound/Show Control Guy's Take On the grandMA2

- John's Blog Main Page - : "After years of work by my CityTech colleagues Charles Scott and John Robinson, we recently got a brand new MA Lighting grandMA2 system at the school. We got two main consoles: a GrandMA2 Full Size, and a GrandMA2 Light; a VPU Video Processing Unit; and network DMX processors. I was lucky enough to sit in on the excellent training session, done by Jason Baeri of A.C.T. Lighting, and I'm going to give you a little perspective on the console from a sound/show control guy's perspective."


CMU grad's film to screen at Sundance

Post Gazette: "'Armless,' a feature film directed by Carnegie Mellon University graduate Habib Azar and starring Pittsburgh native Daniel London, will play at the Sundance Film Festival."


ENORMOUS DOLL HEADS that you can WEAR! With fluttery eyelids!! Cool!

Craftster: "I almost forgot to explain that we made these for a hair show. The hair/wigs was done by a hairdresser. We made the heads. The wigs are AMAZING. There were 6 heads made in total, each had it's own style."


Joe Walsh (famous guitarist) teaches Joe Walsh (Republican candidate) about copyright law

The Hollywood Reporter | Esq. | Entertainment and Media Law: "Another musician is claiming that a political candidate is tone deaf to the nation's intellectual property laws. And this one has an amusing twist."


Toronto's Romeo and Juliet is just too racy for Nashville

thestar.com: "When Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet 'There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,' he must have had the city of Nashville in mind."


What were Macbeth and his wife Gruoch really like?

Scotsman.com Living: "Scottish historian, writer and broadcaster Fiona Watson sighs wearily as we discuss the Macbeths' dark, demonic reputation. Thanks to William Shakespeare, she acknowledges, there are few places in the world where the name Macbeth is unknown, and few societies untouched at some point in their histories by the kind of reign of terror over which he supposedly presided."
