High School makes big time with Deal to Agency by Producing their own webisodes!
Watch a preview of the soon to be runaway internet hit!!!!
Arts high school in Arizona has created sensation by having a well known Hollywood executive make an offer their low budget webisode production produced in their theatre with an XL-1 and the parts played by the kids and a few of the staff members.
The School’s Theatre instructor and creator of the idea of a show about high school kids – for high school kids – by high school kids has created quite a buzz. Take a look at The Next Big High School Thing Students were surprised that anyone in Hollywood had even seen it let alone would want to make some kind of deal for it! One Student, Richard P. commented, "No way.It was lots of fun… just the land of movie dreams: Hollywood? No way!”
The show has been on hiatus but all of the actors were excited to hear the news and looking forward to the new shows and new episodes of Caffeine."We just wanted some local coffee shops to give us some love," Destiny (Felecia) said during an interview.
Although the deal has a number of provisions it's still a huge step forward for a project that was intended as good clean fun, with the potential to reel in local coffee houses for advertising. (It takes place in a Coffee House) "It's something," the Agent described, "that could be nothing or it could be really huge!”
The internet show features an extensive cast cast. And while most of the actors are new to the acting world, the creator and head writer Raymond Shurtz is a very accomplished playwright (National Endowments for the Arts Recipient whose plays have been performed around the world, including New York.)
If you’d like to see these ordinary high school kids succeed by getting their show picked up on the website of a prominant (Deal is under wraps until the studio gives it the green light) television station then give it your support.
This show is about high school kids standing up and following their dreams.I know everyone is thankful for any kind of support.Even if that means you just get two more people to read this or visit the website!
Devils Tower
The famous movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind features the Devils Tower. Anyone who sees it knows it.
Richard Dreyfuss’ character sees Devils Tower everywhere he looks. Soon after having the visions he constructs a crew sculpture in his mashed potatoes. Needless to say his family is alarmed. Soon the obsession consumes him. He paints it and then really goes nuts. When he brings in piles of dirt from the yard to create a scale replica in his living room, his wife and kids leave him. Many people remember this scene.
Eventually Richard’s character travels to Wyoming to see the real Devils Tower. Authorities try to stop him, but he makes it past them. He becomes witness to something wonderful. A huge alien vessel lands and communicates through music. Then formerly missing people exit the vessel. Richard decides to enter the ship to learn from the aliens. This movie would be a good source for a remake. There are extra scenes in some versions that show the interior of the vessel. It’s rather boring.
Let’s discuss the actual Devils Tower. It’s in Wyoming. Scientists call it a monolithic igneous intrusion. It can also be called a lava neck. Magma flowing into a volcanic vent creates it. It’s generally the sign of an active volcano. It’s not certain that this formation is such a plug. But many geologists believe it is.
Devils Tower is a subject of Indian legend. Sisters walking in the wilderness stumbled onto some bears. The bears chased them. The Great Spirit helpd the girls by raising up the land upon which they stood. The bears kept trying. They tried to climb up to the girls but as they neared the top slid back down. Their claws left ridges in the sides of the mountain.
Another legend, this one told by the Sioux Indians, was of two boys wandering far from their village. A giant bear called Mato came upon them. It wanted to rip them apart with its claws so it could eat them. They prayed to the Creator to give them assistance. He raised the ground where they stood. Mato, like the bears in the other story, kept trying and failing to climb. The mountain is now scored by it’s tremendous claws.
The Devils Tower is as interesting as the stories that surround it.
How to Look Hot at 62: Susan Sarandon’s Golden Globes Pearls
Watch Susan Sarandon on the Red Carpet at the Golden Globes
All eyes were on the red capet at the Golden Globes last night after being cancelled the year before. To many, the question of who was wearing what was just as interesting as the award ceremony itself. If you looked past the glitzy gowns and shining sapphires, you might have noticed, as I did, the timeless elegance of Susan Sarandon, who had donned with pride a Fred Leighton exclusive long pearl necklace.At one point Sarandon actually begged the powers that be that gave her the necklace to wear if she could keep it.I don’t blame her! The necklace was a subtle mix of modern style and classic sophisitication.
But does the fact that Susan Sarandon, aged 62, was one of the only A-listers adorned with pearls on the night mean we are going back to the stereotype of pearls only being worn by old dears?Absolutely not! Pearl jewellery has a timeless elegance and charm if you know how to wear it. The key to looking stylish with pearls is don’t settle for ubiquitous lesser stones! You can get pearls on the cheap, especially the abundance of fake and low grade stones on the internet these days, but they rarely have the style of the real deal. If you’re on a budget, go for natural freshwater pearls which can be beautiful. But for the true celeb treatment you should spend that little extra on saltwater pearls, the choice of Susan Sarandon on Sunday night.
