I started as an actress under Stella Adler and still dabble in it. I've worked Off-Bwy, on films, and tv. I studied writing under mentors Nelson Gidding and Frank Daniel at USC. I'm currently in the business.
Toochis ----- Original Message ---- From: Phil Edwards Cinema Arts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2007 9:28:11 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] a General Question Working directly in film distribution (marketing and publicity) cinema exhibition (programming a major circuit and selected arthouses) for a combined 20 plus years, along with acting as consultant on publicity and marketing of various films from arthouse indies to major release promotions, and another 15 years plus years working as a film journalist very closely with both marketing and publicity people, and being on first name terms with many major distributor senior executives and marketing people over many years has added a wealth of background to what I bring to my knowledge of film posters, their production, distribution and real availability. I'm still working in the film industry at a much earlier stage of production than any of the above now, along with running Cinema Arts with my wife. Actively seeking out old hands here in Australia who were involved in marketing throughout the 50s and 60s, and finding a couple of the older guys (now sadly deceased) who were hand litho artists and printers in the 40s and 50s, and being able to pick their brains on such matters as hand litho history, print run numbers, how distributors worked with poster printers, how film prints were booked and worked, how posters were circulated and re-circulated, etc, etc has also added to my storehouse of knowledge. It has also added an aspect to the radar when one works in the film business - from pre-production to all the way to knowing how to strike a carbon arc - and that's an increasing ability to detect the BS factor of many people who deal in movie posters and what they say they know about them in their efforts to sell them. It is never less than entertaining. By the way, anyone genuinely interested in film posters, their art, history and creation as part of the promotion of films and not just in it for the trophy hunting, should get a hold of Sim Branaghan's BRITISH FILM POSTERS. It is probably the single most important book on film posters yet published.
