We talk with James Burroughs about his reign as hollywood's greatest sitcom director, being the son of the Abe Burrows In the genetics of comedy, his book “directed by James Burrows”, “Cheers”, “Will & Grace”, “Mary Tyler Moore”, “Taxi”, “Friends”, the scripps that make him want to direct, the ones that don't, his amazing memory, his humble beginnings, the decade it took him to learn how to direct, working with geniuses like James L. Brooks, Chuck Lori, and Kohan & Mutchnick, Andy Kaufman. And Jimmy explains how his two best friends are Al Michaels and Bruce Springsteen.Bio: James Burrows is one of television's most respected and honored creative talents. Over his distinguished career, Burrows has been the recipient of ten Emmys, five Directors Guild of America Awards, the 1996 American Comedy Awards' Creative Achievement Award, and in 2014 the Television Critics Association's Career Achievement Award in 2006 he was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Science's Hall of Fame and was honored by the US Comedy Arts Festival with their Career Tribute award. He has been the recipient of 22 nominations for the Director's Guild of America Award, thus bestowing him the honor of being the most nominated director in the history of television at the Guild. He was recently honored by the DGA with the Inaugural 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award in Television. In November of 2015 he directed his 1000 th episode which was recognized by a TV Special on NBC in January of 2016. Burrows' success as the director of television pilots is legendary. He just finished the first two episodes of Frasier re-boot season 2, and has wrapped up the pilot “Mid Century Modern” for Fox. He will be at the helm of “Mid Century Modern” this Fall as the show goes to series. The current primetime television schedule features one show “Neighborhood,”- whose pilot episode Burrows directed and one streaming show, the “Frasier Re-boot” which will begin airing Season 2 on Paramount + in mid-September 2024. In January of 2020, he received his fifth DGA Award for directing the Emmy award winning show “Live in Front of a Studio Audience #1: Norman Lear's All in the Family and The Jeffersons.” He was also asked back to direct “Live in Front of a Studio Audience #3: Different Strokes and The Facts of Life” in December of 2021. In June of2022, he embarked into a new market when he published his autobiography, “Directed by James Burrows.” It has received quite a bit of attention and praise from the industry. Burrows is probably best known as co-creator, executive producer and director of the critically acclaimed series, “Cheers.” The hit show, which aired for 11 seasons, is tied for the most nominated Comedy series in the Television Academy's history and is in third place for most Emmys received by a Comedy Series. Burrows has also received numerous awards for his work on “Will & Grace,” “Frasier,” “Friends,” “Wings,” “Night Court,” “Taxi,” and “Dear John.” For the first time in 25 years, he returned to the stage in the spring of 1998 to direct the highly acclaimed “Man Who Came to Dinner” at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, starring John Mahoney. Burrows learned his trade from the very best, the legendary writer/director Abe Burrows, whose noted career included such classics as “Guys and Dolls,” “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and “Cactus Flower.” Born in Los Angeles and raised in New York, Burrows graduated from Oberlin College and continued his education at Yale, where he earned a master's degree in fine arts. Burrows relocated to Hollywood to work as a dialogue coach for “O.K. Crackerby!,” a short-lived television series starring Burl Ives. When the show ended, he returned to New York and initially worked as a stage manager before directing several off-Broadway shows, such as “The Castro Complex,” and stock productions of “The Odd Couple” and “Never Too Late.” In 1974, Burrows moved back to the West Coast when he was invited to visit MTM Productions in Los Angeles and offered a job directing an episode of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Mr. Burrows and his wife, Debbie, reside in Los Angeles and between them they have a quartet of daughters.

The indie horror thriller ponders the question: What sucks more than being single on Valentine's Day? Being dumped right before Valentine's Day...and on the eve before starting a new job. Consequently, Jadyn (Ella-Rae Smith)'s first day at "Glow", a renowned skincare company, is off to a rough start. When she breaks out in tears during a planning meeting for her boss' annual Valentine's Day soiree, her new coworkers Brandi (Cassie Clare) and Alex (Miriam-Teak Lee) demand that she pull herself together. Both recently singled as well, they are coping with it in wildly different ways. Bonded by heartbreak, the girls decide to get satisfying revenge on their exes while planning for the re-imagined Galentine's Day soiree. But it quickly proves not as fun or comedic as in the movies when their exes start popping up dead shortly after they've gotten their revenge. The girls soon discover that a deranged killer, with a radiant skin complexion, is out to get them. It is available now on Tubi. Traci Hays is a DGA Award-nominated director.

With decades of experience in entertainment and reality TV, Brady Connell's career might seem incredibly different than your own. But today on The Business of You, Brady shares just how similar his life lessons have been to those of any entrepreneur and freelancer! Brady Connell is an Emmy-award-winning Executive Producer, Showrunner, and Director with vast television producing experience. Connell's work has propelled the success of popular reality programs such as Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Brady is a two-time Emmy recipient for The Amazing Race, an NAACP Image Award recipient for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, a DGA Award nominee for The Great Christmas Light Fight, and a Humanitas Prize winner for writing in children's programming. While Executive Producer/showrunner of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition at ABC, the United Nations recognized Brady and his team with the prestigious Peace Award: “The Most Positive Television Show in the World.” A graduate of UCLA, Brady Connell is a member of the Directors Guild of America, the Hollywood Radio and Television Society, and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Currently, Brady is working on two primary projects: The Great Christmas Light Fight and Secret Celebrity Renovation. Pursue your interests and the path will become clear When Brady Connell started working in television, he took a variety of short jobs in order to jumpstart his career. He wasn't passionate about it and even considered leaving production altogether. That's when the makers of Survivor noticed his resume and connected the dots! Although Brady's resume looked like “a mess” to him, it was an amalgamation of experiences in game challenge creation and social experiments. The creators of Survivor realized early on that Brady's unique resume made him perfect for the role, and he went on to be one of the first producers of reality television in history. The beginning of his career serves as inspiration that no matter how unusual your experience is, there is a perfect role waiting for you - you just have to work hard, develop your skills, and network. Be customer service-centric While the entertainment industry is saturated with people trying to “make it in Hollywood,” Brady shares one thing that makes you stand out: Work ethic. It's a common belief that if you are a great performer, writer, or producer - or entrepreneur - that people will want to work with you, even if you're challenging. However, he points out that in a saturated market, your interpersonal skills are what set you apart from the crowd. Whether you're on set of a show and displaying a positive attitude, or an entrepreneur going out of your way to make your clients happy, your energy and attitude will define your career success. Stick to your values In the world of reality television, Brady stands out: He has a firm commitment to working on life-affirming content (in a genre that doesn't always make it easy), with principled teams and reputable partners. He chooses his projects wisely, which he learned early in his career. In the early years of his work in television, Brady got work wherever he could find it. Despite laughing when he refers to certain projects, he knows that his early work led him further toward success. Doing what he had to do early on led him down an illustrious path - and now, he gets to create television that has a major effect on the audience it serves. Inspire to standards When managing others, Brady Connell has a technique we all can use: It's called inspire to standards. When he begins work on a new project, he makes a speech and sets expectations for the staff and crew. He shares the mission and vision of the show, what is expected of their time and energy, and how they will work together in collaboration. This is ultimately the source of his success - motivating people to be self-driven so that he doesn't have to manage them; he only inspires and encourages. Inspire to standards works when we're creating a team, and even when we're managing ourselves. Brady uses this mantra for himself when he chooses projects - asking himself, what will drive my mission forward? What will be the most fun? What is the expectation, and is it a good use of my time? As entrepreneurs, we should be asking ourselves the same questions. Enjoy these life lessons from a reality TV entrepreneur - and apply them to your own career, no matter what industry you're in. Quotes “The decision to be a freelancer is a major, major career and life decision. If you're a freelancer-type person, you have to be okay with not knowing where your next paycheck is coming from and you have to be looking for work on a regular basis. That takes your career in one direction. On the other side of things, if you want stability and consistency, that takes your career in another direction. Nobody told me that when I was starting out.” “I was trying to get out of tv…until Survivor came along. They were putting resources into this really interesting social experiment. I happened to meet the right person at the right time. My resume, which looked like a total mess, actually made a lot of sense for this game show adventure experience. I had experience coming up with challenges for games.” “The Amazing Race - I felt like it was pure. It was like, go here and get there as fast as you can. And we'll give you a clue. Win the race around the world and we'll give you a prize. We just documented their story. Historically speaking, it was impressive. It is all real.” “You follow your gut along the way. In the freelance world, you're making choices all the time, daily. I love that, that I'm faced with that choice. I consider the impact and whether it will be fun; it makes me think about my day-to-day work!” “If you just want to crank out a product, it might as well be nuts and bolts. But telling stories is another thing. You're touching peoples' hearts. People in charge of projects have to have certain standards, personal standards, a commitment to the content, and elevating those standards so that everyone involved is self-motivated.” “Hire the right people, then set the standards - what are these expectations and what is the commitment. Everybody becomes really self-motivated. That's my operating procedure.” “There is a certain collaboration in business; it is the key to everything. Everybody has different jobs and skill levels. You don't want a bunch of egos just running around trying to prove themselves. I try to lay it out, this is how I want this production to run.” “A lot of people come from around the world to work in this industry, But you'll get called back if you have strong interpersonal skills. That'll stand out. If you have a good attitude and you're a hard worker, you will stand out.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit Brady Connell's website at https://www.bradyconnell.com/ Connect with Brady on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradyconnell/ Read Brady's case study at https://thebrandid.com/portfolio/brady-connell/

The documentary Fire of Love, directed by Sara Dosa, takes viewers on a mesmerizing journey into the world of volcanology. The film is centered around footage filmed by French volcanologists Maurice and Katia Krafft, who devoted their lives to studying volcanoes and capturing their stunning beauty. Fire of Love is an intimate look into the Kraffts' personal and professional lives, as well as their ultimate fate, tragically lost to a volcanic eruption. Director Sara Dosa and editors Jocelyne Chaput and Erin Casper created the story almost entirely from watching 250 hours of the Kraffts' archival footage. Fortunately, the footage was in great shape and was fun and fascinating to look through. Sara knew that she wanted to focus on the relationship between Maurice and Katia, and their love affair both with volcanoes and each other. Sara, Jocelyne and Erin also collaborated on writing the script and narration. They wanted the amazing footage to speak for itself, and kept the story tight and intimate, filling in with narration, archival interviews and stylized animation rather than shooting current interviews with those who knew them. Sara was influenced by the look of French New Wave films as a guide for the documentary. It seemed a natural fit since Maurice Krafft's footage of volcanoes from the late 1960's and early 70's also were influenced by the French New Wave. Volcanologists Maurice and Katia Krafft shot most of the footage themselves on 16mm film, and proved to be good cinematographers. Katia was a talented artist as well, and photographed beautiful images of volcanoes that appeared in her books. Together, they captured some of the most stunning and rare footage of volcanoes, which continue to be used by scientists to better understand them today. Fire of Love is a beautiful tribute to the Kraffts and their legacy, and a reminder of the incredible power and beauty of the natural world. Fire of Love is currently available on Hulu and Disney+ and is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Sara Dosa won the 2023 DGA Award for Outstanding Directing for Fire of Love. Editors Erin Casper and Jocelyne Chaput have won an ACE Eddie award for their work on the film.
