At age five, Bruce Rubin had a spiritual experience playing in a sandbox in the middle of the afternoon. The sun disappeared, and a dense night sky appeared in its place. Infinite galaxies were swirling in the vastness of his own head, and he sensed the entire universe was contained within him. He knew instantly he was one with all there was. In the years that followed, Bruce became an Oscar-winning screenwriter, a spiritual teacher, and, most recently, a photographer. Each aspect of his life has been a conscious effort to explore and reveal what he learned in that sandbox.Bruce was born in the middle of WWII and raised in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Sondra and Jimmy Rubin. He has a younger brother and sister, Gary and Marci. There was very little remarkable about him. He wanted to be an actor, writer, and director but had no talent to speak of. In 1965 he took a massive (and accidental) overdose of LSD and began a journey that lasted between 3 and 4 billion years. When he returned, he knew he would have stories to tell. He also knew he needed to find a teacher, so he hitchhiked around the world for nearly two years in search of one. After living in ashrams in India and in a Tibetan monastery in Kathmandu, he met his teacher Rudi in New York City just blocks from where he had begun his journey. Rudi taught a meditation practice that became the foundation for Bruce's spiritual life. He has meditated every day since. Bruce's screenwriting career began late in his life. Earlier, he had been an assistant film editor for the NBC Nightly News and Curator and Head of the Film Department at the Whitney Museum in New York. When Rudi died, Bruce gave up his museum career to continue his spiritual practice with a disciple of Rudi's in Bloomington, Indiana. While there, he was also writing movies, twice locking himself in a hotel room and refusing to emerge without a finished script. He also began teaching meditation to an expanding community of fellow seekers and continues holding classes to this day. After 44 years of daily meditation, Bruce experienced what is referred to as a spiritual awakening. For him, it was a revelation that no one could awaken. The illusion of a separate ego dissolved and left him in a state of extraordinary emptiness and inexplicable expansion. It was a profound step in a journey that began in a sandbox and continues to this moment. Bruce continues to share his evolving experience with his students. His talks can be found on YouTube and on his site. Recently, he also discovered photography as an unexpected opportunity for communicating his spiritual vision. The result of always having an iPhone in his pocket, he describes this new phase in his creative life as the discovery of seeing. As Bruce explains, “The mystery and magic of the world are not hidden. It is under our feet, on old walls, and in rusting garbage cans. The beauty, the wonder, never ends.”Please enjoy my conversation with Bruce Joel Rubin.

Milton Riess joins Tim to talk about the recent Alec Baldwin shooting and what it means to safety on the Hollywood set going forward, along with standard safety protocols for filmmakers. Milton is a writer, filmmaker and a college professor who has worked on nearly 300 film and television productions over 35-plus years. Milton talks about working conditions and safety on the set of Hollywood film productions. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Hollywood_Safety_auphonic.mp3 By now, you may have heard of the tragic shooting on the movie set where actor Alec Baldwin shot and killed the cinematographer of the movie he was making. The movie was called, “Rust,” and not only did Baldwin shoot the cinematographer, but the same bullet wounded the film's director. Here's a summary of what we know happened on that day in October. Baldwin was on the movie set in a make-shift church, rehearsing a movement where he pulls his gun and shoots in the same direction as the camera. He was rehearsing his moves for an upcoming scene. For background, six crew members objected to working conditions and walked off the set hours before the fatal event. Before that, there had been at least two accidental gun discharges on the set. The gun that Baldwin used, a real Colt 45, was handed to him by the film's assistant director. He had taken the gun off of a cart, where it was placed by the movie's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. When the assistant director gave the gun to Baldwin, it's said he told the actor the gun was “cold,” which means safe to use with no live ammunition. Other reports have revealed that certain safety protocols were ignored. Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said that 500 rounds of ammunition, which included a mix of blanks, dummy rounds, and possibly live rounds were mixed together. Veteran film armorers who commented on the shooting in various news reports have said that it's widely understood that there should not be live rounds anywhere near a movie set. Some said it's not acceptable to leave a gun on a cart or anywhere unattended during filming. Investigations are now under way to determine what went wrong, who is responsible, and perhaps how the film industry can learn and change from this for the future.

Bradley Battersby is an American film director and screenwriter. He is the chair of the Film Department at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. He was named "Mentor of the Year" by Variety magazine in 2017. When designing Ringling’s film program curriculum, Battersby, who’s sold projects to HBO and Universal, implemented an experimental hands-on approach, something he endorsed at the other film schools at which he’s taught, including AFI, Chapman U. and the Maine Workshops, where in 2001 he created a pre-professional film program for high school students at the Idyllwild Arts Academy. He says, “I am never very far from my 18-year-old self and what I wanted in film school way back when,” says Battersby. “And I really wanted Sydney Pollack, for example, to get up with a room of actors and actually stage a scene. I wanted to see Peter Weir put his music to his movies. I wanted to get everyone in the move and in the groove.” To this end, with the support of Ringling’s president, Larry Thompson, Battersby and David Shapiro of Semkhor Productions launched the Ringling College Studio Lab program, in which entertainment professionals would visit campus and engage in conversation and filmmaking exercises with students. First guest: Werner Herzog.
Kathleen has enjoyed working in the film and television industry for over 30 years. She has worked “on location” most of that time, shooting across this country as well as internationally.

She is currently working on the Netflix hit 13 Reasons Why. Previous credits include Chance, Steve Jobs, San Andreas, The boy Next Door, and Because of Winn-Dixie.

Want to understand your career options in live theatre? Or even how theatre training can help in seemingly unrelated careers? Professor Stephen Heatley, head of the Theatre and Film Department at the University of British Columbia (UBC), gives you a tour of front-of-house, backstage and the “underground” caverns at the Frederic Wood Theatre. This is where the magic happens. As we move from area to area, you’ll hear about the art of illusion in live theatre and how special effects are imagined, crafted and implemented by casts and crews to bring audiences into the world onstage, keeping them engaged in the story and characters unfolding before them. Stephen explains what you could and should expect in return for your investment of time and money in a degree-granting university program in theatre and film. He describes various craft categories for you to explore based upon what you may already love to do: wardrobe, stage design, set construction, acting, directing, stage management, etc. As in other creative activities discussed in our podcast, the themes of collaboration and teamwork arise in what Stephen refers to as the “ultimate synergistic organism”. ‘Cuz that’s how professors refer to teamwork! Fred travels back in time in the green room to recall using the costume department’s washer and dryer for his own personal use. Stephen does not seem unduly surprised. What may not surprise you is how skills learned in theatre classes may cross over and complement those required in the film and television industry. Stephen mentions a number of successful graduates from the program. However, what may actually surprise you is how the various skills acquired in a drama program (people skills, improvisation and self-expression) can transfer into other aspects of life and career. Stephen offers some unexpected examples of graduates who use the energy and imagination sharpened in drama training to deal with their daily job obligations. At the end of the day, it’s still a team sport!
