My New Year's Resolution

I've been fascinated by the entertainment industry for many, many, MANY years. I've dabbled here and there, with printing mini guidebooks, fansites, fundraising, background acting, etc. But, this year, 2023, I'm vowing to become more involved. I love the excitement of being on the lot of a TV or movie studio. It's magical! And, I want to have a positive impact on the whole world. I want this so bad! I am not going to sit on the sidelines any longer! But, where to begin?...

How To Become a TV or Film Producer

 Becoming a TV or film producer typically involves a combination of education, experience, and networking. Here are some steps you can take to pursue a career as a producer:

  1. Get an education: A degree in film or TV production, or a related field such as communications, can be helpful in learning the technical and creative skills necessary for producing.

  2. Gain experience: Start by working as a production assistant or intern on film or TV sets, or by making your own short films. This will give you an understanding of the production process and help you build connections in the industry.

  3. Network: Meet other professionals in the industry, such as directors, writers, and other producers. Attend film festivals, workshops, and networking events to make connections and learn about job opportunities.

  4. Develop a portfolio: Create a portfolio of your work, including any short films, commercials, or other projects you have produced.

  5. Find a job: Look for job openings in TV or film production companies, or reach out to independent producers looking for help.

  6. Build a reputation: Build a good reputation by producing quality work, meeting deadlines, and building a network of contacts. As you gain experience, you may be able to take on more responsibilities and eventually become a producer.

It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, persistence and patience to become a producer, but if you are passionate about the industry, it can be a rewarding career.

Another School Shooting - The Texas School Shooting in Uvalde, Texas

Today's school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, is so hard to bear. To think that 19 children, aged 7-9, will never see their lives unfold is utterly tragic. And, there was absolutely no reason for this. Some people demand more gun restrictions. Others say we need more mental health awareness and treatment. No doubt we need an all-of-the-above approach.



I pray that their parents can have some peace and receive some modicum of justice after this horrendous event.

Why 'Justice League' Star Joe Morton Thinks Fans Should Have More of a Say

The actor reflects on Zack Snyder restoring his storyline as Dr. Silas Stone, and weighs in on the power of fan campaigns: "It’s kind of like voting."  
[This story contains spoilers for Zack Snyder's Justice League.]

Now that Zack Snyder’s Justice League has finally been released, viewers are understanding exactly what Snyder meant when he called Cyborg’s (Ray Fisher) storyline “the heart” of his movie. Of course, an integral component of Cyborg’s arc involves Joe Morton’s Dr. Silas Stone, who was first introduced in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. After a devastating car accident took the life of his wife, Dr. Elinore Stone (Karen Bryson), Morton’s character channeled the incalculable power of an alien technology to prevent his son Victor from suffering the same fate. In doing so, he created an advanced human cyborg with a laundry list of superpowers, as well as the ability to manipulate technology at will.
