We told you the hat would be back 🎩 Today, we’re throwing it over to our Studio Floor Manager, Shannon Salupo ✨ In this tell-all, Shannon discusses her experience managing a creative team, her most coveted childhood toy (spoiler: creepy), and her thoughts on conspiracy theories. Plus, we even got a special guest appearance from Melissa Bentley. Enjoy! #SeeTRG #IntheStudio #QuestionsfromaHat

Transcript

Hi, my name is Shannon Silipo, I'm the studio Floor Manager here at TRG Multimedia and I am going to answer questions from a hat. Would you rather date a person who picks their nose or eats the apple core? Well. I'd rather. Data person that picks their nose cause the Apple core will kill you. Who is the first person you considered an enemy? Craig, what do you do with TRG? So I am the studio floor manager. So I oversee a team of 25 plus very creative team, everyone from set designers to construction design photographers essentially. I ensure I advocate for them, make sure what their needs are, that they're met. Also advocating for the leadership team at the same time, so making sure that. Processes are being followed. Ensure cleanliness in the studio organization, basically making sure that everything's running smoothly. What's one thing you'd be OK with being really bad at? Piano, you wouldn't want to be bad at being a murderer? No, I'd wanna be good at being a murderer. Yeah, I'd wanna be bad at playing piano. How many books do you read a month? Not, not one. None. I read the whole Internet almost every night before I go to bed, but I never read books. How does managing a creative team differ from your past experience managing a team of non creatives? So this is a great question. So in the past I've managed teams generally in the hospitality world, large teams, SO150 plus, but processes are. Very easy, right? They're very step by step and you do this and then you do that and it's just very task oriented. Creatives have an unlimited ability to just create. So you never know what you're going to get. So one day it could be let's bring a Flock of Seagulls in. We'd like to paint the entire building pink or we want to build a candy wall. You just never know what you're going to get. So it's a little bit different because you want to ensure that their needs are met, but also their expectations are met. So it's it's, it's a definitely a. A different vibe managing a team of creatives. What year did World War Two start? New by graduated college. No tests here. Give us your best Irish accent. Help can iPhone a friend? Right, right. There's this magic moment. OK, what are we? To add a girl I don't know if I like, that's fine. Ohh give us your best Irish accent. That's what we called you in for. I don't have an Irish accent. Wait, that's how do you string your ice? It's very dirty. You're getting a message from AOL. What year were you? Why do you still have lol I have a hard time letting go. You still use instant messenger? How do you think I found my husband? Where do you go other than home when you need time to decompress the bar? When the majority of your team is working on set or on location, how have you prioritized communicating with your team and making sure that everyone is on the same page? So I have a large team, I have about 25 people, so it's important to stay in communication. So in the morning we have a stand up meeting at 8:45 where we talk about the day. And then throughout the day there's plenty of opportunities to touch base. So whether it's walking through the studio, communicating through our walkie talkies, through teams, messaging them individually when necessary, we are always having. Conversations, just making sure they have everything they need to complete their tasks, and everybody's up to speed on what's necessary in the studio itself so that we can get things moving. Let's just say you dropped some money on the ground. What amount is not worth the hassle of bending over to pick it up? There isn't. I would pick up a penny in a urinal. I don't give a ****. What was your most coveted toy as a child? Ohh man a puppet. I had these puppets that hung from. My window, like sock puppet? No, it was like marionette puppets. Just my whole life, They were like hanging from my window. Yeah. It was this. The Dust Bowl. It was. Where did you grow up? With Mary? In Lakewood. OH, I don't know. What's 1 conspiracy theory you kind of believe in? All of them. Every single one. Everyone. Do you want me to list them? You ever owned a pager? Yes. And I would kill for the times to come back where you owned a pager and that was the only way for someone to reach you. Is when you pulled off the side of the road, went to a pay phone and called them back, which you had never did. You need Jesus. Did you see? I need spin and Jesus, Oh my God.

You can’t really see what’s happening at all in this picture, so let me paint the scene. After every rehearsal, the Penguin Project artists and mentors dance to “Don’t Stop Believing”, and then do the Penguin Project cheer…”Good job, good job, good job penguins!!” Last night closed The Talent Machine Company’s first Penguin Project production. O, my middle son, helped direct. He thrived in this leadership role. He made a personal connection with each kid. He helped teach choreography, lines, blocking, helped imagine props, lighting, and tech needs before the kids took the stage. C, my youngest, was an artist. I’ve talked a lot about how he looks up to his older brothers and wanted nothing more than to perform with The Talent Machine Company, just like they did. At the end of the show last night, O ran on stage to lead the Penguin Project cheer. After, he grabbed C and embraced him with so much love and pride, it literally spilled out of him. And the pride my husband and I felt in that moment spilled out of us. We were all a blubbering mess. Because our kids found their place, their home, their confidence… and it will forever shape how they walk through life. It means that C found a place where he belongs, and O realized the power of what that means for the future of humanity. This world is meant to be diverse and inclusive and programs like this lay the foundation. #inclusion #belonging #acceptance #AccessibleMusicalTheater #InclusiveMusicalTheater

Greetings! The second weekend of Pixar’s INSIDE OUT 2 was the second-highest weekend box office performance of the year, trailing only itself in its record-breaking opening last weekend. The $100M it earned in the past three days is the top second weekend total in the history of animated films, higher than last year’s THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE which earned $92.3M in its weekend #2 and 2018’s INCREDIBLES 2’s which earned $80.3M. At long last, Disney is enjoying a renaissance in theatres, having the top two movies of the summer with 20th Century’s KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES and now Pixar’s INSIDE OUT 2. After Disney acquired Pixar (2006), Marvel (2009), Lucasfilm (2012) and 21st Century Fox (2019), everyone assumed that it would be the theatrical market share leader every year. But it has not earned that crown since 2019, and doubters had begun to wonder whether it would ever get back to that position. Dig into the latest results in Dick Walsh’s Weekend Review. You can also check out our critic’s review of THE BIKERIDERS, the widest opening new movie and #3 box office performer of the weekend. In our Don’t Kill the Messenger podcast, host Kevin Goetz welcomes Hollywood actress and icon Sharon Stone, who shares intimate stories about her upbringing, her journey into modeling and acting, and some of the challenges she has faced in the entertainment industry. #insideout2 #insideout #pixar #pixarstudios #disney #kingdomoftheplanetoftheapes #planetoftheapes #20thcenturystudios #thebikeriders #focusfeatures #sharonstone #kevingoetz #dontkillthemessenger #boxoffice #screendollars

Much like how Pixar's shorts (many would be shown before their features) would not only help showcase their latest CG innovations, but would give future directors the chance to run their own projects, like Enrico Casarosa (from La Luna to Luca) and Domee Shi (from Bao to Turning Red)! 😄❤️🎞 I always like to think that Pixar's aim from the beginning was to go AGAINST the idea that a studio should be about ONE person and their legacy - e.g. what would Walt Disney have done? 🫤💭 #creativity #authorship #directing #studios #animation #animationindustry

“I don’t know how it all happened. None of us ever thought we would do our own shows. That just didn’t exist back then…Then Cartoon Network started and they had this opportunity to do shorts. We made the shorts. The ones that communicated the best got picked to be a series.” - Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Dexter’s Laboratory 🧪👓 With the release of ‘Dexter’s Laboratory: The Complete Series’ from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, the groundbreaking writer/director/artist discusses all things ‘Dexter,’ girl power, listening to your gut, and the glories of cartoony-ness.

Greetings! Universal’s TWISTERS touched down this weekend with a bracing $80.5M in ticket sales. After five weeks led by animated family films DESPICABLE ME 4 and INSIDE OUT 2, the summer action genre stepped back into its traditional leading role. DM4 and IO2 were also solid contributors, leading to a weekend gross of $147.2M for all titles. TWISTERS’ surprising success took some of the edge off what would otherwise have been a difficult comparison to last year, when the dual openings of BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER powered the weekend box office to $311M, its best total of the year. Exhibitors will enjoy another thrill next weekend when Marvel’s long-anticipated DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE arrives. The R-Rated superhero matchup combines the forces of two beloved characters, the wisecracking DEADPOOL played by Ryan Reynolds and the nimble slasher WOLVERINE played by Hugh Jackman. Its opening weekend may be over twice that of TWISTERS’ this weekend. For more results, check out Dick Walsh’s Weekend Review. You will also enjoy reading Alonso Duralde’s review of TWISTERS, published in partnership with The Film Verdict. In this week’s Don’t Kill the Messenger podcast, host Kevin Goetz enjoys a conversation with DeVon Franklin, known for his work on inspirational films such as Breakthrough, Miracles from Heaven, and Flamin' Hot, as well as the BET series Kingdom Business. #twisters #universalpictures #glenpowell #despicableme4 #illuminationentertainment #insideout2 #disney #pixar #devonfranklin #kevingoetz #dontkillthemessenger #boxoffice #boxofficepreview #screendollars
