Preproduction for the movie, Bernhardt On Broadway, is moving ahead. Who will I cast for supporting roles? It's a conundrum. A producer needs to be concerned with costs -- and movies are expensive to produce, but it is also critical to cast performers with name recognition. It is beyond difficult to get distributors or sales agents without name players. So I ask your help figuring out who to cast in different roles. The first role is The Reporter who comes to interview Sarah Bernhardt. Two actors who come to my mind, Rick Moranis and Paul Giamatti. What actors would you suggest who project a similar impression (a little nerdy)?

I think JGL is both right and also missing a point. Hear me out: I was just thinking about AI (said every post on LinkedIn these days 😉) and saw this video. Actors are presenters of art and ideas, and the thought of these presentation tools being AI-ified out of the process of consuming art is pretty scary. But I’ve been thinking about the power that AI doesn’t seem to have, and it’s the quiet part none of the Sam Altmans et al have spoken loudly enough that I hear it: AI can’t imagine up new ideas. AI is derivative and reductive, and it’s really efficient at being so. Those aren’t bad things, they’re simply factors and features. I personally have gone from “Terminators are coming for my job!” to using AI a lot to think through ideas and song ideas and presentations and book and essay ideas, I really dig it. (Shout out + thanks to Thomas Urie and Alan Feuerlein for being people who helped me see the utility and power of the tool) Here’s the thing: _I’M_ the one imagining. AI tooling might do compilation and presentation faster and more efficiently, but I am the one turning random synaptical responses into ideas. (Or my brain is, and I’m the existence that capitalizes on such, but let’s not get too meta here 🧠) Point is, we are in a shift in how we think about existence. I know, I onow, it’s such a deceased equine chattel unit at this point to say. But I think there’s a deeper reason we keep hearing it, beyond the lowest-common-denominator marketing buzz and the vitriolic responses: Those that embrace the tooling beyond surface level hype feel empowered to be rewarded for the randomness and free flow fountain of their imaginations. They have been told so many times to get their head out of the clouds, and now, the clouds are where they can thrive. When the process of execution becomes democratized, those with the imagination to craft can thrive more fully.

Another “The Movie Business Is In Crisis” article that states a litany of problems but once again offers only platitudes and pearl clutching instead of any tangible solutions or suggestions. I’ll start where the article finishes… Nolan’s comment on the relative age of film and how when we look at it in comparison to “painting” and “theater” at their 100th year of existence, the direction of the medium remains a wide open mystery. The problem is that the speed at which technology moves is vastly different than when cave men were painting on walls or Shakespeare was doing productions in The Globe. We know exactly how theater adapted to the onslaught of technological challenges from film and television; the advent of the blockbuster / franchise led musical. Cats, Phantom, Wicked… all are products of a medium that needed to provide a reason for classic theater goers to return to the Great White Way. Movies are following a familiar pattern- but technology and consumer choice in content are vastly different than the 1960s-1980s when this strategy was deployed. It won’t likely play out the same way (evidence suggests this strategy has linitations). Earlier the article quotes the most quoted speech from the Oscars “don’t make one $200M film, make 50 $4M films” and then goes on about the need for size and scope and spectacle to bring audiences back before quickly noting that a handful of smaller films also did pretty good. It ignores that AI may make a $4M movie look like a $200M movie in a matter of years, empowering a greater swath of creatives a hand to make bigger things, assisted by technology, but then - if everything can be big, how do we make it special? The article finally asks (in essence) “What do (we) moviegoers want?” To which the answer is “Everything!” The answer to solving the economic conundrum the industry faces is left for the reader to scratch their heads at and say “Yeah, I like movies! We should all care. And we should do SOMETHING!” What that thing is, I guess we’ll need to keep pondering…

"Sunset Boulevard" "Hollywood had never been so faithfully depicted before as in Billy Wilder’s production of Sunset Blvd. Remembered today, as a noir icon – right alongside Wilder’s other major title Double Indemnity – Sunset Blvd. with all its cynicism and pessimistic view of the world managed to capture what was the true essence of classic Hollywood." Truman Hopper on the Taste of Cinema website helps us understand why this film is a creative masterpiece. We recall it today because it premiered on August 10, 1950. "During his career, Billy Wilder tended develop stories around people that were considered outcasts, people that were forgotten by society or that just simply didn’t fit in. ... "But in Sunset Blvd., the director guides us through a depressive and delusional vision of the world as seen through the eyes of a group of outcasts, a failed scriptwriter, a forgotten movie icon, her now butler former film director, as well as, her now bridge companions former movie stars.  Hopper identifies four factors that make Sunset Boulevard stand out.1) Film Structure; 2.) Themes and Timelessness, 3.) Noir visual style and themes. 4) Performances.  You can deepen your understanding of this great film and the four factors by watching the full movie with commentary at the link. Creativity happens every day. The creator's creative spark allows him to see what others fail -- or choose to ignore -- to see. It takes courage and the willingness to act creatively. https://lnkd.in/eh_gUSbm

For YEARS I have been asked, “How do I make it as an actor?” I’m by no means have the career of Denzel, Brad Pitt, or even Chai LeBuff. What I have been able to do over the last twenty five years, is make it as a middle class actor. So, to answer the question, I wrote a book, “The Middle Class Actor, a pocket guide to making six figures in the entertainment business. Set to publish August 9. From Middle school acting to Hollywood. If interested, let me know! #theblueprint
