Mark Williams is one of the masterminds behind some of the best TV and movies of the past decade. He was a writer and producer for Netflix's smash Ozark. He produced Ben Affleck's action films The Accountant and The Accountant 2. He's done movies with Liam Neeson, Alfie Allen, and Jon Bernthal. But his next big swing just might be the most aggressive of his career. In this conversation, Mark takes us behind the scenes of Hollywood movie production, unpacks why stories matter, and explains why he's risking his reputation to make a film about a nonprofit. Mark is an aggressive man making aggressive moves. His stories, and life, are inspiring.
Both Shai Agnon and William Shakespeare are celebrated literary figures, yet their works reflect distinctive cultural and historical contexts that shape their writing. Shakespeare, writing in Elizabethan England, is known for his exploration of universal themes such as love, power, and the human condition through complex characters and intricate plots, often employing poetic language and verse. His works, including tragedies like Hamlet and comedies like A Midsummer Night's Dream, delve deeply into psychological and social dynamics. On the other hand, Agnon, a 20th-century Israeli writer, blends modernist techniques with Jewish folklore and history, often using a more introspective, symbolic, and sometimes fragmented narrative style. Agnon's writing, such as in The Bridal Canopy, reflects a tension between tradition and modernity, exploring identity, memory, and the challenges of cultural assimilation. While Shakespeare's influence spans a global literary tradition, Agnon's work is more grounded in the context of Jewish identity and the specific challenges of life in early modern Israel. Both writers, however, share a commitment to portraying the complexities of human existence, using their respective cultural lenses to explore similar themes of love, morality, and existential struggle.

(Part 3/3 ) This is the third part of three-part series where we're thrilled to sit down with Christy Cashman to discuss her latest book, "The Truth About Horses: A Novel."
Fast-talking and feisty-looking John Leguizamo has continued to impress movie audiences with his versatility: he can play sensitive and naïve young men, such as Johnny in Hangin' with the Homeboys; cold-blooded killers like Benny Blanco in Carlito's Way; a heroic Army Green Beret, stopping aerial terrorists in Executive Decision; and drag queen Chi-Chi Rodriguez in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.Arguably, not since ill-fated actor and comedian Freddie Prinze starred in the smash TV series Chico and the Man had a youthful Latino personality had such a powerful impact on critics and fans alike. John Alberto Leguizamo Peláez was born July 22, 1960, in Bogotá, Colombia, to Luz Marina Peláez and Alberto Rudolfo Leguizamo.He was a child when his family emigrated to the United States. He was raised in Queens, New York, attended New York University and studied under legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg for only one day before Strasberg passed away.The extroverted Leguizamo started working the comedy club circuit in New York and first appeared in front of the cameras in an episode of Miami Vice. His first film appearance was a small part in Mixed Blood, and he had minor roles in Casualties of War and Die Hard 2 before playing a liquor store thief who shoots Harrison Ford in Regarding Henry.His career really started to soar after his first-rate performance in the independent film Hangin' with the Homeboys as a nervous young teenager from the Bronx out for a night in brightly lit Manhattan with his buddies, facing the career choice of staying in a supermarket or heading off to college and finding out that the girl he loves from afar isn't quite what he thought she was.The year 1991 was also memorable for other reasons, as he hit the stage with his show John Leguizamo: Mambo Mouth, in which he portrayed seven different Latino characters. The witty and incisive show was a smash hit and won the Obie and Outer Circle Critics Award, and later was filmed for HBO, where it picked up a CableACE Award.He returned to the stage two years later with another satirical production poking fun at Latino stereotypes titled John Leguizamo: Spic-O-Rama. It played in Chicago and New York, and won the Drama Desk Award and four CableACE Awards. In 1995 he created and starred in the short-lived TV series House of Buggin', an all-Latino-cast comedy variety show featuring hilarious sketches and comedic routines.The show scored two Emmy nominations and received positive reviews from critics, but it was canceled after only one season. The gifted Leguizamo was still keeping busy in films, with key appearances in Super Mario Bros., Romeo + Juliet and Spawn. In 1998 he made his Broadway debut in John Leguizamo: Freak, a "demi-semi-quasi-pseudo-autobiographical" one-man show, which was filmed for HBO by Spike Lee.Utilizing his distinctive vocal talents, he next voiced a pesky rat in Doctor Dolittle before appearing in the dynamic Spike Lee-directed Summer of Sam as a guilt-ridden womanizer, as the Genie of The Lamp in the exciting Arabian Nights and as Henri DE Toulouse Lautrec in the visually spectacular Moulin Rouge!.He also voiced Sid in the animated Ice Age, co-starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in Collateral Damage and directed and starred in the boxing film Undefeated. Subsequently, Leguizamo starred in the remake of the John Carpenter hit Assault on Precinct 13 and George A. Romero's long-awaited fourth "Dead" film, Land of the Dead.There can be no doubt that the remarkably talented Leguizamo has been a breakthrough performer for the Latino community in mainstream Hollywood, in much the same way that Sidney Poitier crashed through celluloid barriers for African-Americans in the early 1960s.Among his many strengths lies his ability to not take his ethnic background too seriously but also to take pride in his Latino heritage.Please enjoy my conversation with John Leguizamo.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

Every movie, tv show, cartoon, snl sketch, etc that you've ever quoted has been written by a writer or improvised by an actor. Our most favorite scenes, stories, and performances have been given to us by writers and actors. Right now, with streaming and a huge shift to AI, a lot of proper compensation is falling to the wayside. Hollywood wants to scan actors and use their likeness however, and whenever they please so they can save money on paying the actual actor. Yes there is a lot of "boohoo the rich wanna get paid more money," going around right now. But as we're finding out, even some actors and writers in hit shows and movies are still struggling financially, ie: the writer for the hit show "The Bear" only made $20,000, and while that is a nice pay, if that is your only gig for the year then you are making less than most full time minimum wage employees. Regardless of what you think about the famous, people still deserve to be compensated fairly for their work. Today on the podcast, we talk about all of this.What are your thoughts?FOLLOW OUR SOCIALS:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/redbandpodcast/TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@redbandpodcastVERO: https://vero.co/redbandSUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-c09wUurXCFDnIG2WB4Nng?sub_confirmation=1PODCAST PRODUCED AND EDITED BY:Estevan CarrionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/estevan_thebestavon/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChnTw9XnaokQ6_sTW9iB3HQ

Mark live from Washington DC, reviews the coronation, addresses weekend controversies, Texas carnage and speaks to a top Hollywood comedy writer about the strike and the changing landscape of entertainment.
Thousands of Hollywood writers went on strike this week after failing to reach a new contract with studios. The dispute was caused, in part, by the industry's shift to streaming, which writers say has left them shortchanged. Michael Schur is co-creator of “Parks and Recreation” and was a writer for “The Office” and “Saturday Night Live.” He tells us what's behind the first writers strike in over 15 years.

Life can often be so predictable. Each day I wake up, have coffee, get my kids to school, and go to work. But sometimes there are days when things happen that are completely unexpected. That sums up my experience interviewing today's podcast guest Brian Burns, and I could not be more grateful for it.Brian Burns is the award-winning writer and Executive Producer of the hit television series Blue Bloods on CBS, HBO's Entourage, and Will Ferrell's hit comedy film, Daddy's Home.Brian has served as Executive Producer of Blue Bloods for nearly 300 episodes over a record 13 seasons, & has personally written over 50 episodes of the long-running hit police procedural.Prior to Blue Bloods, Burns wrote and produced many seasons of Entourage on HBO, where he was nominated multiple times for an Emmy and Writer's Guild Award.Based on his experience as a new stepfather, Burns wrote Daddy's Home for WillFerrell and Adam McKay, which went on to be one of Ferrell's most successful box office hits.So I predicted we would mostly talk about writing and producing TV and movies, which we did. I also figured we would spend a little bit of time discussing his incredibly tight-knit family, which consists of other career heavy-hitters like his father, Edward J Burns, an NYPD police sergeant and former Spokesman for the NYPD, and his brother Ed Burns, the well-known actor and director with whom he created the ABC sitcom That's Life and the NBC sitcom The Fighting Fitzgerald's starring Brian Dennehy and Connie Britton.But our conversation held SO much more than just Hollywood and his incredible and successful creative endeavors.In a beautifully unplanned and organic way, our conversation traveled far and wide, as all the best ones do. We discussed the death of his mentor and dear friend Rocco, his mother's passing during the pandemic, and his journey to sobriety that helped him become a better father, writer, and human being.Brian shares intimate stories about facing the fears that were holding him backfrom living an honest and (sometimes) HARD life. But it was those “hards” in life that forced him to have intimate yet difficult conversations with his loved ones, led him to start training and running marathons, and finally allowed him to get to the truth about his relationship with alcohol.This episode is the longest interview I have released yet, and it's worth every single moment. Join us for this captivating and deeply authentic conversation filled with unexpected turns and immense hope. Our talk left me with an enormous amount of faith in the goodness of people.We are all striving to be healthier in our bodies, minds, and spirits. And regardless of how well-known our work is, or how successful we may be in the world, we all struggle sometimes in life as we try to find ways to connect more deeply to ourselves in order to strengthen our connections to our loved ones.May this conversation strengthen your own connections and give you hope for what's possible.Love,MollyConnect with Brian on Instagram, Twitter, and FacebookResources mentioned in this interview:Book: This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Lifeby Annie GraceBook: The Honey Badgerby Robert Ruark
#97 "The writer's room is completely being decimated. It's no longer a big room with professional writers. Now it's mini rooms. It's like, you know, four to six people expected to do all the work that 10 to 12, 13 people used to do in the past." - TV writer Rafael Agustin Being a Hollywood writer these days isn't quite what it used to be. Writers say everything started to change with the rapid rise of streaming services: Netflix, Amazon, Apple…and ALL those limited series they are known for, like The Drop Out, Inventing Anna, The Queen's Gambit. These days, folks find themselves writing a whole year worth of episodes in two months – and sometimes these projects aren't even greenlit. There's more work but fewer episode guarantees, and THAT equals less pay.HTLA host Brian De Los Santos gets the T from two TV storytellers. Guests: Rafael Agustin, TV writer and CEO of the Latino Film Institute Caroline Renard, TV writer and Writers Guild Association captain

Today guest is author, publisher, and producer Ken Atchity. Ken recently produced the global blockbuster (Jason Statham) and is the founder of Story Merchant. Ken wrote the best-seller Sell Your Story to Hollywood: Writer's Pocket Guide to the Business of Show Business. I wanted Ken on the show to discuss the business side of screenwriting, a part of the industry that isn't spoken about enough. We also discuss the "story market."Here some background on Ken.In 1976, Atchity founded L/A House, Inc., a consulting, translation, book, television, and film development and production company whose clients included the Getty Museum and the US Postal Service. L/A House began by extending Atchity's teaching of creative writing to manuscript consultation and soon moved on to publishing with the production of Follies, a magazine covering creativity, and CQ: Contemporary Quarterly; Poetry and Art of which he was editor. In the 1980s L/A House moved into television, with a syndicated television pilot of BreakThrough! of which Atchity was executive producer and co-writer.In 1985, L/A House began development of a set of video/TV romance film projects entitled Shades of Love, which became 16 full-length films, produced in 1986–87 with Atchity as executive producer, that aired throughout the world, distributed by Lorimar, Astral-Bellevue-Pathe, Manson International, and Warner Brothers International, nominated for Canada's Gemini Award; in the U.S. they premiered on Cinemax-HBO.In 1989 he sold L/A House and founded AEI (Atchity Editorial/Entertainment International), a literary management and motion picture production company. Atchity sold Steve Alten's Meg to Bantam-Doubleday at auction in a $2.2M deal; and then to Disney, partnered with Zide-Perry, for $1.2 (later, to Newline Pictures for a similar price). Incorporated in 1996, its name was changed to Atchity Entertainment International, Inc. in 2005.In 2006, he and manager-partner Fred Griffin of Houston's Griffin Partners along with a group of investors from Louisiana and Texas, acquired The Louisiana Wave Studio, LLC in Shreveport, Louisiana from Walt Disney Productions. The LWS is the only tank specifically designed to make waves for motion pictures in North America. Films produced at the LWS include The Guardian, Mayday—Bering Sea, Shark Night 3D, Streets of Blood, and I Love You, Philip Morris; along with numerous government and industrial films.In 2011 Atchity was nominated for an Emmy for producing The Kennedy Detail (Discovery) based on their clients' Jerry Blaine and Lisa McCubbin's New York Times bestselling book by the same title published by Gallery/Simon & Schuster in 2010. AEI's films include Joe Somebody (Tim Allen, Julie Bowen), Life Or Something Like It (Angelina Jolie, Edward Burns), and The MEG (Jason Statham).In 2010, Atchity also founded Atchity Productions and Story Merchant.Enjoy my conversation with Ken Atchity.
