Movie Mogul Turns to Web to Stream Indie Releases →
I have always wanted a way to screen Indie’s without the hassle of film festivals. With the right backing and community support I think this could be very successful.
Exclusive: Jeff Probst creates new show for CBS →
The show, “Live Like You’re Dying”, will feature a person who has been given a terminal diagnosis with a finite amount of time to live and “take them on the last adventure of their life,”
Wow.

FX Grabs 'South Park' Writer's 'Testees' →
Two guys in their early 30s are human guinea pigs for a testing facility known as Testico. As they try to live their lives as normally as possible, they have to deal with the potential side effects of a new product, experimental medication, or treatment.

CBS edits Sarah Palin interview to hide the dumb →
shutupinternet:
We talked about this today in class and I offered that Palin’s repsonse, after being stumped, was “can we edit this in post?”
I never thought I’d be right.
Fuck CBS! Show the truth! Show how little knowledge of EVERYTHING Sarah Palin has.
Yes, editing is generally done in post.

yeahapparently:
I started doing on-camera work about 5 years ago. Do you know what the one phrase is that I’ve heard more than any other on a shoot? No, it’s not “action,” or “cut,” or “that’s a wrap.”

So you would think, armed with that knowledge, I would not create a show that is set ON MY ROOF.
Enjoy...
