In today’s episode on Gateways to Awakening, I speak with my friend Jon Amiel, a distinguished director, writer, and producer with a remarkable career in theatre, film, and television. After spending a decade rising from fringe theatre to the Royal Shakespeare Company, Jon transitioned to television, where he made significant strides at the BBC, culminating with the award-winning "Silent Twins" and the multi-award-winning "Singing Detective." Jon's success continued in the film industry over the next 15 years, directing major feature films such as "Sommersby" with Jodie Foster and Richard Gere, "Copycat" with Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter, "Entrapment" with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, "The Man Who Knew Too Little" with Bill Murray, "The Core" with Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank, and "Creation" with Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly. Jon's attraction to various genres is driven by his curiosity and desire to explore different facets of storytelling, approaching each genre with unique techniques and perspectives. As a mentor, Jon frequently advises aspiring directors and writers to focus on authenticity in storytelling and to develop a strong personal voice. We talk about the following and so much more: ✅ What he spends most of his time thinking about and why ✅ What, in his opinion, makes a good story and why? ✅ What inspired his journey into the world of film - an in particular directing? ✅ As a mentor and advisor to many film directors and writers, what advice does he find himself giving most frequently ✅ What draws him to a particular project, and how does he approach each genre differently ✅ What the creative process was like bringing such a gripping story like Copycat to life If you’d like to join the waitlist for my next coaching program, sign up @ www.InnerKnowingSchool.com Please tag us and tell us what you loved!

Steve interviews screenwriter Nicholas Meyer all about his original screenplay for the Richard Gere/Jodie Foster post-Civil War drama Sommersby (1993)

1992. Se estrena “Sommersby”, un drama romántico ambientado tras la Guerra de Secesión estadounidense. En él se cuenta como una mujer interpretada por Jodie Foster que da a su marido por muerto en el frente, se sorprende un día al ver como regresa. Parece él, tiene la misma cara de Richard Gere, pero no se comporta como él. Antaño era rudo y violento, pero ahora es un amante amable y cariñoso. ¿Es este hombre realmente Jack Sommersby? A Coruña, junio de 2023. Se estrena “Playoff”, un thriller psicológico de alto voltaje en el que una multitud desquiciada enfrenta una eliminatoria a vida o muerte animando a un equipo que dice ser el Deportivo pero que no se comporta como el Deportivo. Su entrenador les habla como si de verdad, al fin, conociese sus anhelos más íntimos. Los futbolistas de la cantera saltan al campo. Álex Bergantiños toma las riendas. Todo el mundo les dice que es el mismo equipo, pero ellos no están seguros. No saben qué esperar. Los aficionados, a punto de precipitarse en los abismos de la locura, acuden a consultar con los dos más reputados investigadores de la psique blanquiazul. Benjamín y Manuel examinan la situación con una dedicación enfermiza, hablan y hablan, cantan, actúan, formulan mil hipótesis y desechan otras tantas, hasta que, resignados, descuelgan el monóculo y sentencian: “Uf, ni puta idea de lo que esperar, chorbos”. Y es así como ¡Cuánto sufrimos, Martín! Podcast se presenta a las puertas de otro verano con los nervios del que no sabe si reír o llorar porque este equipo puede ser una cosa o la contraria con tan solo 15 días de separación. Tensiómetro listo, teléfono de emergencias en marcación rápida y trankimazin en la cartera. Recen lo que sepan.

For the second month of 1993, we snuck in yet another hidden gem:Jack Sommersby (Richard Gere) appears back home at his farm after presumably dying a prisoner of the North in the American Civil War. What he doesn't expect is that his beloved wife Laurel (Jodie Foster) has moved on. Can he prove his worth to his hometown that left him behind? Can he prove that he even is who he says he is? This is….Sommersby!

Jennifer Sommersby started writing rom-coms (romantic comedies) under the pseudonym of Eliza Gordon as she was in the waiting game of edits/revisions/publication for a young adult novel. She has penned 8 books under that name, the latest a three-part series - Planet Lara. Welcome to Planet Lara is an enviromance - environmental romance - with excellent characters (I hated Lara for most of the book) and incidents that keep you turning pages. In this episode, we talk about Jennifer's author journey, writing unlikeable characters and writing under a pseudonym. Check out all the quirk that is Eliza Gordon.

It’s time for some failed harlequin romance Oscar buzz and that means we are talking 1993′s Sommersby. A post-Civil War era love story of overtaken identity and languorous beard shaving, the presence of a post-Silence of the Lambs Jodie Foster had us thinking this weepy could be Oscar-bound. But as the dueling elements of Richard … Continue reading "018 – Sommersby"

Quite possibly, the most specific reference to a film our topics have been. Episode 068 is our favorite Replicants, or imposters to speak non-Blade Runner lingo. Jonathan, Corey, and Michael are all looking forward to Blade Runner 2049 so they went looking to find their top five movie imposters. These could be robots pretending to be people, people pretending to be someone else, or something like that. Jonathan's list: 5. Ladybugs (1992) 4. Class Act (1992) 3. Catch me if you can? (2002) 2.

Fra Allan Dingmal til Rudy Frederiksen fik vi slukket tørsten med en Sommersby fra det lokale marked. Herudover en dårlig parody på Samuels hverdag. Børti til dem allesammen.

If you missed this week's BEHIND THE LENS live, you definitely want to take a listen now to two very special guests, SCOTT HECKER and THEO TAPLITZ! As if each isn't accomplished and interesting enough in their own right, when these two start talking sound design together, it is a true meeting of the minds and the generation gap disappears. While many of you may not recognize the name, SCOTT HECKER, you know his work well. An Academy Award, BAFTA and Emmy nominee, as a Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designer with Formosa Group, Scott is one of the "sound guys" playing in the sonic sandbox creating an unforgettable auditory experience for moviegoers in films ranging from "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice", "Mad Max: Fury Road", "300" and "Man of Steel" to his earlier pre-Formosa work in films like "Sommersby", "King Ralph" and even working as a foley editor on "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." You'll be as amazed as I as Scott regales some fun anecdotes about his work in the field these past few decades, including creating "walking sounds" for Chewbacca in "The Empire Strikes Back", one of his first sound jobs! And listen to Scott tell us about creating specialty sounds for the Batmobile and Batwing in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", not to mention his lessons on working with voices, and at the heart of everything – creativity. Filmmakers will embrace Scott's knowledge and vision! (And not to worry. Scott will be back in the future!) One filmmaker who received the benefit of Scott's expertise directly today is THEO TAPLITZ. A filmmaker in his own right, Theo is now starring in his first feature film – Ira Sachs' LITTLE MEN. A multiple threat, Theo writes/directs/edits/shoots/acts and does sound on his short films, but now we get to see Theo break out as an actor in a feature film lead with LITTLE MEN. And while Theo talks about LITTLE MEN and getting into his character of "Jake Jardine" and working with Ira Sachs, he also puts on his own director's hat to talk sound design with Scott Hecker! One of the best BTL's yet, folks! http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
