- Written and directed by Lee Madsen, HAPPY IN THE VALLEY, is an off-beat, dark comedy set deep in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley that follows Stewart Fox (William Forsythe) a 50-something photographer, whose days as a premiere chronicler of rock-n-roll greats is long over. He's manages to pay the bills and then some as the self-described "world's greatest erotic photographer," a moniker that rings more hollow every time it comes out of his mouth. Which it does, often. Awash in drugs and alcohol Stewart's lost all zest for life. He's watched over by his beleaguered wife, Donna (Ursula Brooks), who's started to wonder why she stays. Even his models, jaded from years of working in porn, are beginning to tire of him. To help Stewart, Donna hires young art school student Wade Ward (Shaun Sipos) to photograph him for his autobiography "The World's Greatest Erotic Photographer, Ever!" Desperately broke, Wade takes the job but finds his dependence on Stewart for income corruptive. Matters further complicate when Wade falls for Queenie (Zoë Hall), Stewart's conflicted new model who has her own demons to dance with. Wade takes a dim view on the darkly comical proceedings as Stewart races to what may be his final bottom, he drags along a reclusive alcoholic neighbor (Dee Wallace), a lonely detective (Lew Temple), his lascivious assistant (Josh Marchette) and finally Donna who's possibly had enough after all. Redemption may be right around the corner. It's just not for everybody.

- 2016–TV EpisodeI'm doing something a little different today. I ended up staying up last night watching videos of all of these Broadway performers. They were performing off stage. They were performing in subway stations, on planes, in malls, that kind of thing. And it really got me thinking about the differences between Los Angeles and New York. Being a New Yorker who has been in Los Angeles for so many years, I definitely know what the difference is. Everything from cost of living; both places are expensive. New York is definitely more expensive. But also the attitudes, the egos, the whole thing is just very different. And I mention this because, when I was watching these videos in particular, the one that really stood out was from Lion King. And I believe it was the touring company. They sung, Circle of Life. It just really stuck with me. They're on a New York subway. I bring all this up because when you're considering, "what do you want to do?" That's a question you have to ask yourself. I know in Los Angeles, I was asked that over and over again by so many people when I first met them, the first few years of my being there.
- 2016–TV EpisodeWe're going to speak about some filmmaking essentials: THE STAR WARS INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, and more specifically, what was at the foundation of what made the Star Wars brand such a branding powerhouse that it is today, leading up to Disney's acquisition. I'm going to share with you some of the history of one of the most successful brands in history, as well as some of what happened after Hollywood's Golden Age, in particular, some facts on epic and swashbuckler-themed films and the rise of the anti-hero, that helped influence George Lucas, the creator of 'Star Wars'. What occurred in Hollywood after the end of the studio system in the 50s and 60s had an influence on the 'Star Wars' universe. For many, much of the early things that occurred to keep the brand alive may not be what you may have expected, especially back in the 1970s. And for me, these details not only helped influence me getting into visual effects, they were influential on how I viewed and put together packages as a producer for television shows and for films.

- 2016–TV EpisodeThe motion picture industry today was setting itself up in a similar way they did at the end of Hollywood's Golden Age in the 1960s. Today, a lot of focus and money is thrown into creating films of high spectacle, lacking in intelligence.

- One of the biggest questions for us in entertainment, and the rest of the world for that matter that need to be answered, when can I come back to work? There are tons of contradictory and just flat-out wrong information bits floating around. Without getting into the "he said, she said" political nonsense and finger pointing on the airways, let's take a look at the questions you need to ask based on what we do know, today.
- California Governor, Gavin Newsom revealed a six-point guide to how California will reopen its economy. Being that a major part of the state's economy is related to the entertainment industry, the studio executives and producers have been working on how to get the production machines turning again, while ensuring everyone is safe.
- Producing your project, there are financial and legal risks. A good entertainment production policy protects the producers, crew, gear, and locations. It is one of the biggest hurdles to overcome during these Coronavirus days.
- Production hit by the shutdown at the same time, the insurance industry was not designed for it. The same can be said about completion bonds. A completion bond is a guarantee your motion picture will be completed and delivered to the distributor by an agreed upon date. The completion guarantee protects the financier from over-budget expenditures, misappropriation of funds, and other problems that may happen during the production process.
- Right off the bat, you should check with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regularly. This should be your first source of information. There are tons of contradictory and just flat-out wrong information bits floating around. Some of this has to do with today's political climate.
- The long anticipated 22-page, "Proposed Health and Safety Guidelines for Motion Picture, Television, and Streaming Productions During the COVID-19 Pandemic" document was sent to Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York, and Governor Gavin Newsom of California.
- Many of you have dreams of becoming a motion picture director. You have a favorite director. You've watched every single thing he or she has ever made. The body of work inspires you to become a director. But . . . you don't know where to begin. I'm going to give you a checklist of eight things to be mindful of to help you get started.
- The first stage in the filmmaking production process you need to do and be mindful of, during the Coronavirus Pandemic is the development stage. This is the stage when ideas for a film are put together. Sometimes that means acquiring the rights to a book, stage play, magazine article, video game, comic book, graphic novel, or directly from the source of a true story. Other times the screenplay has already been written or a pitch for an idea is available.
- The second stage in the filmmaking production process you need to do and be mindful of, during the Coronavirus Pandemic is the pre-production stage. This is the stage when you prepare all of the moving parts to your project. No matter how much you may want to jump into running full-steam with your project, pre-production should not begin until you have financing secured, as well as the cinematographer, key production crewmembers and cast are all secured.
- The third stage in the filmmaking production process you need to do and be mindful of, during the Coronavirus Pandemic is the production stage. This is the physical production where the scenes are created and captured for the film. The film's executive in charge of production or production supervisor would hire the additional crew needed for principal photography.
- The fourth stage in the filmmaking production process you need to do and be mindful of, during the Coronavirus Pandemic is the post-production stage. This is where all of the media that was captured is assembled and edited together. Probably the best way to look at this stage of the filmmaking process is to think of your film as being a huge puzzle with thousands of integral parts that make up the completed story.
- Want to succeed in filmmaking? It's an honest question. I ask this because so many filmmakers I've known and met over the years don't develop a distribution strategy during the Development Stage of film production. Something I cannot stress enough throughout this series, how you see your film distributed is a major key to be a successful filmmaker. And making strides to get there can make or break your success. What's very important for you to know at this stage, for your film to ever be considered by any distributor, they look at how to best maximize any and all possible revenue streams across multiple platforms. This becomes their one and only goal.
- When looking at your distribution options for your film, it's important to understand film rights and content licensing before signing off on any distribution deal. Not knowing or fully understanding these crucial details is probably the biggest mistake I've seen over-and-over again that aspiring filmmakers make with their first and even their second and third finished films. Digital Rights refer to relationships between copyrighted creative works, such as motion pictures, music, and art, in a digital format. Digital Rights involves the permission and usage rights of these same digital works, in relation to accessibility and control across computer and telecommunications networks, computers, and other electronic devices.
- As part of your distribution strategy, you should plan for possible distribution opportunities being split up. Film today is largely thought about as the "moving image" or "moving picture", over the format of film itself. Some see the power and authority of documentaries losing some of it's stature to the "documenting of reality", such as what can be found on television programming of "reality" shows and on digital platforms like YouTube today. This has caused some film distribution companies to rethink how they approach their distribution strategies. More progressive distributors identify today's viewers as not being passive, but more being active participants, due in part to their influence through social media and their ability to use their smart phones to share their thoughts immediately to the world. This has caused distribution companies to act more like digital rights managers.
- Like most independent filmmakers, we produce our film and find a distributor. The distributor tries to find exhibitors, which in turn attempt to find an audience. This has been the "traditional" way most independent films get released. For many independent productions, it becomes an uphill battle to find the right audience, if the battle itself hasn't already been lost. For me, and my more successful filmmaking colleagues, we define our target audience first. This determines everything else.
- It is so important to consider a marketing strategy, geared to a very narrow and targeted audience at the very beginning of the development stage of your film. The process should be a collaborative effort between your audience and you from day one. What that really means, you can gauge how the public reacts to what you post online. You can interact and get feedback to see what your audience responds to, both positively and negatively. That feedback can help you work out the details towards a positive marketing strategy. And if you are able to build a solid base of supporters, especially from the very beginning, those numbers only benefit the credibility you and your film has when it is time to look for film distribution.
- "Do you approach filmmaking as a business opportunity?" I ask this because the most common obstacle I've seen is aspiring filmmaker's unwillingness to look at their film projects as a business opportunity. Many don't look at what they are passionate about as being a product. There's resistance to this line of thinking by us creative types. But here's the reality of it all, to make a good film, short or feature, requires money. The bigger the film, the more it's going to cost. For most of us, the money to produce our films comes from the distribution end.
- Your cast's name recognition is a huge part of the marketing process. A distributor can capitalize on the cast's notoriety, building up the "value" of your film. And this helps with the distributor's Return on Investment. This return, or ROI is the distributor's ONLY goal, the bigger the return, and the better. This goes directly hand-in-hand with your casting. Your cast members will have a fan base already built in. The more well-known the cast member, the larger the fan base, the more likely some of those fans will want to see your film. Think of it as having a core audience at your film's beginning. That core audience will want to see your cast member's next work, your film.
- From my experience writing screenplays, and working on hundreds of productions for film and television, often brought in during development, I've seen a screenplay's title change several times of many of the films during the production process. The reasons can be from the story itself has changed so much from the original text, the moods progressions have changed, to considering the marketability of the film. Having a non-complicated and short film title helps it to be remembered. There are exceptions to this, usually from a more established director, or a film with a lot of recognizable names. But in the most part, many more successful films made today have names made up of one to three words. Your film's first impression is the most important. What you first see is usually going to shape your initial opinion and openness to wanting more. Your film's One Sheet is that initial exposure you are showing the world.

- 2016–TV EpisodeThere is no question, the subject of diversity in Hollywood has received a lot of attention, especially since the Academy Awards received a lot of attention for the choices in their nominations, which in turn saw a surge in the #OscarsNotSoWhite hashtag hitting social media. But there is A TRUTH ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN HOLLYWOOD that has not been getting nearly enough attention. We all need to create the projects we want, hire the people we want, and base it on the individual's talents and willingness to be inclusive of one another. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeSucceeding in any area of the entertainment industry most often depends on your perseverance, flexibility, endurance, and will. You can have all of the talent in the world and not get ahead because you lack consistency in these four strengths. There is so much power in having a positive mindset and a willingness to be flexible and keep pushing forward no matter what. And having a positive mindset isn't always enough. You have to find balance in your home and personal life as well. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeThe "New Hollywood Generation" is a movement. A movement of empowerment. Its foundation is all based on you and I to strive to be a better version of ourselves and to be inclusive of one another. WE as a community can grow together and BE THE CHANGE our communities and our industry needs. WE can find UNITY together and BE THE CHANGE our future needs. We are all in it together. Each and every one of you is an important part of our future. You are important to the lives of those who surround you. You are important to your communities. You are important to our industry. No matter what, remain optimistic and focused on your goal. Never stop believing in yourself! And always remember: You are the key to your own success. Take a breath. Move forward. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- f you've never been on a working set before, or never have been in a filmmaking class, you may not know the proper etiquette expected from one another. For any film or television production there are lots of moving parts, lots of time and money involved, and many people doing specific tasks to ensure production is moving forward everyday. Although set protocol is not one of the steps in the filmmaking process, it is crucial to have an understanding of what it is and everyone's roll. I want to give you some information that will only serve you and your production best. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeThere is a lot of focus on the lack of diversity in the hiring practices by the Hollywood television networks and motion picture studios these days. Much of the attention has been on race, gender and, maybe, sexual orientation. But all too often, the conversation on disability inclusion is left out of the dialogue. We inside the entertainment industry are very much aware there is a problem. For those of us who have worked with development, financing, and distribution of content, we understand all too well those who make Hollywood's business decisions only follow the money. As part of the New Hollywood Generation, we all need to create the projects we want, hire the people we want, and base it on the individual's talents and willingness to be inclusive of one another. Our roles as content creators come with a responsibility because many identify with Hollywood as being the face of America. And with that said, part of our responsibility is to be inclusive of those who make up the largest minority set of individuals. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeSince the trend has been for the past decade, up-and-coming motion picture directors can get attached to film properties and multimedia franchises, it seems that some film studio executives are finally looking at the points I mentioned in this episode, that it may be time to look at what has worked in the past before the current system implodes in on itself before it's too late, as well as to hopefully appease a growing audience of more of a diverse ethnic make-up. I offer examples as points to look at and to hopefully help motivate you to get out there and create something that matters. History has shown us that mass media can effectively influence change. As a community of content creators, we are in a unique position to influence change, and it is our responsibility to do so. Think about it. If more of us can get together to create films and television programming with a positive message, hire more people from broader backgrounds and not limit ourselves, or our potential, by identifying one another only by race, color, sex, religion, or sexual preference, we can influence the masses to be more open-minded. This will give us the ability to have a broader audience, as well as to influence others to tell their stories and, hopefully, to be less afraid to tell them.
- 2016–TV EpisodeMany of you have dreams of becoming a motion picture director. You have a favorite director. You've watched every single thing he or she has ever made. You know the history and backstory of each project, and of all the principals involved. The body of work inspires you to become a director. But . . . you don't know where to begin. You're in luck. I'm going to give you a checklist to help you get started. This is the first part of what you need to know to help you get the ball rolling. I'm hoping that this will motivate you while you are putting everything together. You'll notice that a recurring theme in these videos is about being prepared, being flexible, and continuing to move forward. You also want to have fun with it. Filmmaking is about the process of telling a story. The story is the most important part of the process, of course. But what stays with you, and others who are involved, is the experience itself. It will help you in developing your own style and vision as you learn and grow in the process of your craft, as well as help you in building a skillset to be successful. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeThe first stage in the filmmaking process for film, television and for video production is the development stage. This is when ideas for a film are put together. Sometimes that means acquiring the rights to a book, stage play, magazine article, video game, comic book, graphic novel, or directly from the source of a true story. Other times the screenplay has already been written or a pitch for an idea is available. The first thing you would need to do during the development stage is to get a good script. This may not be as simple as it sounds. For every good script, there are countless others that are especially bad. A good script will move you. A bad script will leave you with the feeling that the time lost in reading it will never be given back. Regardless of where the script comes from, you will want to tell a good story. Filmmaking is storytelling. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeThe second stage in the filmmaking process is the pre- production stage. This is when you prepare all of the moving parts to your project. Pre-production should not begin until you have financing secured, as well as the cinematographer, key production crew members and cast are secured. The first thing to do during the pre-production stage is to break down the script even more. At this stage, you take your initial breakdown of the script and expand upon it. This will help develop storyboards for individual scenes, help provide location information and a prop list, see which cast members need to be scheduled for which scenes, develop a wardrobe and costume list, develop a digital and practical visual effects and make- up list, and any other details that are needed. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeThe third stage in the filmmaking process is the production stage. This is the physical production where the scenes are created and captured for the film. The film's executive in charge of production or production supervisor would hire the additional crew needed for principal photography. Make sure that everyone you hire is clear on exactly what their roles are, and what departments they are part of before they show up on day one of principal photography. There is set etiquette and set protocols that everyone must follow. Set protocols vary from set to set, but as a whole they are pretty much the same. On smaller productions, crew members may be asked to help out in other departments, but on larger shoots, they stick only with the departments they are part of. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeThe fourth stage in the filmmaking process is the post- production stage. This is where all of the media that was captured is assembled and edited together. Probably the best way to look at this stage of the filmmaking process is to think of your film as being a huge puzzle with thousands of integral parts that make up the completed story. At this stage, it's easier to see the many pieces, because there is a convergence of everything shot, and everything has a representative scene and take number. For many productions, this is the most time consuming and costly part of the production process. The reason being, professionals getting paid a high rate are doing most of what is needed during this stage. Most facilities have a high overhead, and these same individuals are using the very best and fastest computers and networks being used in the industry. There are a lot of resources needed to keep a facility open. Operational costs are high because they need to cover existing infrastructure and networks, ensure connectivity never fails, computers stay cool, and their talent is being paid their rates. Facilities will most likely be renting most if not all of the computer equipment. This is very expensive especially when the maintenance and proprietary software fees are included. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeThe fifth and final stage in the filmmaking process is the distribution stage. It doesn't matter the amount of time and effort that has gone into creating your film if no one ever sees it. Having it as a vanity piece will not further your craft, career, nor the careers of anyone else who bled and sweat along side you on this adventure. Up until now, most of the steps needed to create a motion picture are the same steps to create content for television, industrials, the straight-to-video marketplace and internet-based content. The steps are generally the same, even if less people and money are involved. But distribution is not. When your project was in the development stage, you should have considered what would be the best distribution outlet for your project. Will your film be released theatrically to cinemas? Will your film be released directly to consumer media, such as DVD, or Blu-Ray? Will the film be released as digital downloads or streaming media available to the public from a media provider or through your website? The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another.
- 2016–TV EpisodeYou're probably asking, what in the world is Wakaliwood? Well, it's a motion picture studio and production house that has been becoming very popular for years in East Africa, as well as drawing a cult following overseas. Why is Wakaliwood of significance? Well, for starters they're pumping out an action film a month with the average cost of around $180 each. But that's just the beginning. The purpose of 'Hollywood, Unapologetic!' is to positively empower one another and to empower our industry. It is important to engage in discussions that will initiate constructive lines of thought in the hopes to get young people to become thought leaders and to create a positive voice for themselves, their communities, and one another. The lessons to be learned here is simple: when you really want to do something, you can always find a way. For Mr. Nabwana, he has been able to build the support of the local community.
- 2016–TV EpisodeWe live in a time where social unrest and images of war are read about and seen on the airwaves daily. We as a community of content creators are in a unique position to influence change, and it is our responsibility to do so. If more of us can get together to create films and television programming with a positive message, hire more people from broader backgrounds, and not limit ourselves and our potential by identifying one another only by race, color, sex, religion, or sexual preference, we can then, and only then, influence the masses to be more open minded.
