What a difference a day makes!

Yesterday got old real quick, but today is brand new and with it comes new opportunity.

Yesterday, we were asked to re-enter a conversation about putting “36 Hours” up for production. It is a very timely piece, considering what is happening with the Papacy and the upheaval in the Catholic Church. The faithful may recall that we were asked to ‘step away’ from the production some months ago. The executive producer/writer, Dr. Rajan Gulati has decided to re-engage Willy-Gilly to move ahead. Stay tuned, we will keep you posted on what’s next!

We have gotten tremendous response from buyers at the NATPE convention in Miami that we attended at the end of last month (Jan.) on “Chasing G!” However, we are now confronted with some issues regarding the subject of the show that is impeding our ability to get it out to our followers on cable and through the internet. No worries! We expect that will be changing very soon and you will get the chance to enjoy a unique look at the “Pawn” industry. (Keep your pants on!)

STAGE ONE ALERT! We are awaiting approval by the board of a local (Goshen, NY) venue to begin serious rehearsals on a play (as yet unannounced), which we continue to rehearse in lieu of finding a home. (If you think placing an puppy is tough, you ought to try producing play!) Once we have the venue secured we will hold a local press conference to reveal the name of the piece, which we will be opening in April. Keep an eye out for the ‘What,’ the ‘Where,’ and the ‘When,’ right here on this blog!

(Hint! Hint! We will be opening this show in Goshen, before moving it to Manhattan later this Spring!)

STAGE TWO ALERT! In the meantime we, are meeting with various restaurants in the region about putting on “St. Valentine’s Dead!”, our new dinner murder mystery that will be coming to the OC, forthwith. We would very much like to do our take on ‘The Passion’ play, “Supper with Ja,” this coming Easter, as well.
However, that may be too much on our plate for this season and we may have to wait another year to clear up this whole, ‘Judas/betrayal’ myth that has been plaguing Christianity for the last couple thousand years. ‘Hey, Jude! Don’t be afraid!’ Help is on the way.

Hooray, Hooray Acting Classes have started again. A whole new series of trainings for professionals and amateurs (young and mature) seeking to master the craft of acting, writing, directing, producing and singing. Everyone from 8 to 80 (or older) is welcome to join us as Acting Anyone transforms local talent into powerful professionals. For more information contact at our office at 845.294.7500 or on the web info@actinganyone.com

Finally, the clock is ticking down for the arrival of our funding to begin production on 6 films which was suspended last year. This is no secret that 2012 was a year of great change and challenge. We are looking forward to having that all pay off in the coming year.

We look forward to providing hundreds (thousands?) of jobs to locals in the film, television and the performing arts industries over the next 4 years. We continue to believe without reservation that Orange County is, ‘The Golden Triangle.’ Moreover, it is the premiere location for creating, developing, producing and distributing Independent Film, TV and stage intellectual properties in the US and the World!


LAST BUT NOT LEAST! Kudos to “Freeze Frame,” the Beacon Theater Film Festival that exhibited our feature film, “Collar” earlier this month. Not even a blizzard could keep hardy Hudson Valley-ites from gathering to see the award winning flick, which will be released in limited markets this Spring as part of our funding package commitment.

PS - We will be handling our own campaign, although we have renewed contact with several interested Hollywood distributors and producers to assist in our efforts. As in all previous screenings, about 80% of those attending gave us rave reviews. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! RIGHT ON!!!
