SCREENWRITING TIPS
By The Undisputed Master

Polishing Crap!
When you polish crap, you get a polished piece of crap. You can polish a turd till the cows come home, but it will never turn into a diamond. So true is this fact, that when you shoot a crappy script, an editor can polish the silver emulsion just so far before your cellulose investment flakes, decay’s and just fades away. When you start with Crap, you get…. You know…Go ahead, say it!

Cardboard and Inflatable Extras are Talent Perfection

By Maurice Voltkofsky

Extras can kill a budget real fast. If you’re trying to fill in a theater audience or sporting event with real people the costs make any large crowd financially prohibitive. What’s the alternative? You can film a real sporting event, and grab moments here and there as in the Lakers game in Grand Canyon, digitally duplicate and cut and past crowds, like the football game in Forrest Gump, or employ the perfect extra, a cardboard cut out and or inflatable extra like the movie The Fan, 500 Cardboard Gonzo cutouts filled in the theater audience along with 60 live extras.

		THEATRE REVIEW By Sharon Jordan Anyone who loves a good musical will enjoy "Side by Side by Sondheim". Just the mention of the name Stephen Sondheim is enough to fill a theater, and Riverside Community Player's production is a must see worthy of Sondheim's name. Side by Side first opened in London on May 14, 1976 at the Mermaid Theatre. It ran for over three years at varying theaters in London and since then has been produced around the globe, including Broadway, Chicago, Australia, and Ireland to name a few venues.
