Editors - Catherine Haight ACE, Laura Zempel ACE and Isaac Hagy ACE SIRENS editors Cate, Laura and Isaac have crafted a television experience that intrigues and entertains the audience, while also challenging them on conventional gender biases. Their work on SIRENS was not just professionally unifying but creatively fulfilling as well. The team established a ritual of analyzing scenes together each week, discussing tone, performance, and overarching storyline elements. This collaborative approach allowed them to align their unique editing styles into a cohesive representation of the series' narrative.  One of the remarkable aspects of SIRENS is its tonal balance—oscillating between humor, mystery, and drama. The show's collaborative ethos even extended beyond the main editing trio. They leaned on the talents of assistant editors like Jen Bryson, who ultimately co-edited Episode 5 with Laura. Based on her play, Elemeno Pea, Molly Smith Metzler's Sirens tells the story of two estranged sisters from Buffalo, Devon and Simon.  While Devon is back in Buffalo, caring for their father who suffers from early on-set dementia, Simone is living in the idyllic seaside town Port Haven, working as a personal assistant for a wealthy socialite named Michaela.  When Devon travels to Port Haven to bring Simone back to Buffalo to help care for their father, she finds a resistant sister who seems to be under some kind of mind control from her employer.  When Devon refuses to leave without Simone, the mystery of Michaela unravels in a blend of drama and dark comedy. CATHERINE HAIGHT, ACE Catherine Haight, ACE is a film editor who has helped bring many award-winning television shows and films to the screen. Cate has had a long collaboration with Joey Soloway including the film Afternoon Delight, starring Kathryn Hahn, the award winning series Transparent, and I Love Dick. She also cut both The Polka King, starring Jack Black, and The Good House, led by Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline, with the directing team of Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky. Cate also has edited the films Troop Zero, starring Viola Davis and Allison Janney, and Puzzle, with Kelly Macdonald and Irrfan Khan. She also cut the television series High Desert, Mozart in the Jungle, Girls, and New Girl.   Her work on the pilot episode of Transparent earned her a nomination for both an Emmy and ACE Eddie Award, and she also received an ACE Eddie nomination for the pilot of Girls. Cate is a member of The American Cinema Editors and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Originally from New Hampshire, she now resides in Los Angeles with her husband. LAURA ZEMPEL, ACE Laura Zempel, ACE is a two-time Emmy Award winning editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Sacramento, she received a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University. She began her career in as an assistant editor, and has gone on to edit features and television such as HBO's Euphoria, Apple TV's Lessons In Chemistry, Netflix's Beef. ISAAC HAGY, ACE Isaac Hagy, ACE graduated from USC film school in 2006 and continues to live and work in Los Angeles.  His editing credits include feature films Waves and The Friend, as well as television programs Atlanta, Mr & Mrs Smith, Station Eleven, American Vandal, and Chef's Table.  He has been honored with two Emmy and four ACE nominations.  But to be fair, his Assistant Editor - a pit mix named Blue - does most of the hard work.

He has entertained tens of millions of people over the course of four decades with iconic film and TV appearances, yet he remains humble and modest - He is Mystic Pizza, Falcon Crest and Perry Mason (to name a few!) actor, William R. Moses!His Mom, Marian McCargo and big brothers, Rick and Harry Moses were in the business and, although his step-dad, Congressman, Alphonso E. Bell did not entirely approve, Billy, a high school and college athlete found himself pulled towards acting. A typical Take-Your-Kid-To-Work day found young Billy on the set with Leonard Nimoy, Fess Parker and John Wayne! Or on Capitol Hill with Ted Kennedy, Gerry Ford and Bob Dole. Ample inspiration to dream big! Billy's resume includes the iconic prime time soaps Falcon Crest and Melrose Place, the role of Marc Christian, Rock Hudson's boyfriend, in a groundbreaking film about the legendary Hollywood and LGBTQ history figure, and he has the distinct honor of sharing his feature film debut, in the movie Choices, with fellow newby, Demi Moore!As attorney and P.I. Ken Malansky in NBC's Perry Mason TV film series, Billy worked closely with Raymond Burr and, as it turns out, our own Fritz Coleman who guest starred on an episode entitled, The Case of the Telltale Talk Show Host.From a Mystery Cruise Ship with the Olsen twins to Perry Mason's Colorado courtroom, to the magical setting of Mystic, Connecticut, to his first Negroni on The Love Boat set with Eddie Albert to valiantly attempting to keep Viola Davis from Getting Away With Murder, Billy's stories provide a front row seat to the show biz of the glorious final few decades of the 20th century and journeying on into the aughts and beyond.In recommendations--Weezy:  The Lost Passenger by Frances QuinnFritz: Mobland on Paramount+Path Points of Interest:William R.

In today's episode, we're joined by the powerhouse that is Edwina Findley Dickerson—an award-winning actress, author, and all-around force of nature. From her early days training at Duke Ellington, Tisch, and Yale to her breakout role on The Wire, Edwina has carved out a career grounded in purpose, vision, and faith. She shares how a seemingly side gig teaching stress management unexpectedly became a divine turning point, deepening her sense of calling far beyond the stage and screen. Now starring as the fast-talking, hilariously flawed Sheila Cannon in Shonda Rhimes' Netflix series The Residence, Edwina opens up about navigating the highs and lows of the entertainment industry while staying rooted in her spiritual path. We also get a sneak peek at her highly anticipated debut book, The World Is Waiting For You, with a foreword by Viola Davis—an inspiring, faith-filled guide to manifesting your "God Dream" and living with intention.

This week, Tommy is joined by Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren who are currently starring in the beloved Broadway show, THE LAST FIVE YEARS. Nick’s story as one-third of the iconic Jonas Brothers has remained very well documented given the band’s massive global success. He’s also a wildly popular solo artist, has starred in blockbuster hit movies and TV shows, and is no stranger to the stage. Adrienne is a fierce singer, actress and dancer who is perhaps best known for her Tony Award-winning performance as Tina Turner in Broadway’s TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL. She is also leaving her mark in Hollywood, appearing in RUSTIN with Colman Domingo and THE WOMAN KING with Viola Davis. Together, they are making magic in THE LAST FIVE YEARS. Today, Nick and Adrienne open up about why they absolutely had to be a part of this production, the deeply personal connection Adrienne has to her character Cathy, how being a part of The Jonas Brothers influences and affects the work Nick does on a Broadway stage, if it’s hard for them to remain present given the fast-pace nature of their lives, the moments of the show they treasure, how they established trust in one another in and out of work, what Nick said early on to Adrienne that set the tone for their friendship, if they have any goofy pre-show rituals, if they felt the pressure to prove themselves with stepping into roles that fans have loved since the show’s inception, if they pull from their real lives in their performances, and so much more.

Dans cet échange, Viola revient avec beaucoup d'honnêteté sur son chemin vers l'estime de soi, ses débuts dans l'industrie, et cette petite fille en elle qui avait "besoin de se sentir aimée", malgré les humiliations, et les doutes. Elle partage aussi la beauté de la sororité, de la transmission, de ces "femmes qui nous passent d'une rive à l'autre" dans les moments de tourmente."On ne naît pas célèbre, on devient visible… quand quelqu'un nous tend la lumière." Viola Davis nous parle aussi de son rapport à la représentation, à la guérison, à la vulnérabilité dans le métier d'acteur, et du moment où elle est devenue ambassadrice L'Oréal à 54 ans : "Ce n'était pas juste moi. C'était toutes les femmes noires que je représentais, surtout celles à la peau foncée. C'est pour la petite Viola."Une leçon de vie, de courage, et de sincérité. Hébergé par Acast.

Amanda Jones has had quite a career, as evident in this really insightful conversation about her journey as a film and television composer. One of her latest projects, Number One on the Call Sheet, is a prolific, eye-opening two-part Apple TV+ documentary featuring candid conversations with some of the entertainment industry's biggest stars, like Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Idris Elba, Whoopi Goldberg, Viola Davis, Denzel Washington and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, to name just a few.Amanda's career includes BET's Twenties from Lena Waithe, OWN's Cherish the Day, produced by Ava DuVernay and A Black Lady Sketch Show, produced by Robin Thede and Issa Rae. We learn about the empowerment she received from this powerful group of Black women so early in her journey.Amanda earned her first Emmy nomination for Home, an Apple TV+ series and became the first Black woman nominated for an Outstanding Music Composition for a Documentary Series or Special (Original Dramatic Score) Emmy. Later, Amanda was awarded a Daytime Emmy Award for Home.The idea of following one's passion resonates heavily throughout this conversation. Amanda shares that her love of sounds, more specifically music, started around the age of 3. After graduating from Vassar College and later, studying film scoring and orchestration at Berklee College of Music, she landed an internship with Hans Zimmer and it was an opportunity at Lionsgate that helped give her a more 360-degree sense of the business side of things.Other takeaways from this multifaceted chat hone in on creating a sonic language for films and TV, the importance of asking questions, communication and collaboration during the creative process, having a strong creative voice, knowing when to delegate as well as fighting off stigmas reserved for women of color and mothers.A co-founder of Composers Diversity Collective, Amanda's other credits include Somebody Somewhere, Good Trouble, Naomi, Young Love, 7 Days, Dreamland: The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street, Definition Please, Moving On, The Perfect Find, Mea Culpa, Jodie and the new Apple TV+ series, Murderbot.  

Na noite de 9 de maio, o Carnegie Hall viveu um desses momentos que escapam da partitura. No palco, o maestro brasileiro João Carlos Martins regeu pela última vez nos Estados Unidos. Luciana Rosa, correspondente da RFI em Nova YorkAos 85 anos, o maestro encerrou sua trajetória internacional diante de uma plateia lotada — como foi também em sua estreia, aos 21 anos, no mesmo palco nova-iorquino. Martins regeu a orquestra NOVUS (Trinity Church's New Music Orchestra) e, como epílogo, se sentou ao piano. Usava luvas biônicas, uma tecnologia brasileira que lhe devolveu o movimento dos dedos — o que a medicina, durante décadas, havia lhe negado. Tocou Bach, com os dez dedos, e fez o impossível soar natural. “Ganhei muitas batalhas, perdi algumas guerras”, disse ele, no palco. “Mas nunca parei de lutar.”Essa luta começou cedo. Aos 8 anos, já era considerado prodígio. Aos 18, gravava os primeiros discos. Aos 21, era celebrado pelo New York Times como um dos mais notáveis intérpretes de Bach de sua geração. Mas a ascensão meteórica deu lugar, quase sem aviso, a uma espiral de tragédias.Aos 22 anos, uma dor inexplicável começou a comprometer os movimentos da mão direita. A distonia focal — um distúrbio neurológico que atinge músicos e atletas — foi interrompendo, aos poucos, sua carreira de pianista. Vieram cirurgias experimentais nos Estados Unidos, no Brasil, na China. Vieram quedas, fraturas, uma lesão cerebral após um assalto brutal na Bulgária. Vieram os silêncios, as pausas forçadas, os dias em que a música parecia ter lhe virado o rosto.Fim e recomeçoAos 29 anos, uma crítica no New York Times o chamou de “errático”. Ele interpretou como um veredito e parou de tocar. Sete anos depois, virou empresário de boxe. Levou Éder Jofre de volta aos ringues e viu o pugilista recuperar o título mundial. “Se ele conseguiu, eu também posso voltar ao piano”, pensou.Mas a volta não foi imediata. Antes disso, houve o fundo do poço. “Entrei numa banheira com uma gilete para me suicidar”, contou. “Aí o telefone tocou. Era meu professor de piano. Ali, eu voltei a ter amor à música. À vida.”A reabilitação foi longa, e a superação virou parte do espetáculo. Quando quase todos os dedos já não respondiam, surgiu Ubiratan Bizarro Costa, um designer de Sumaré, no interior de São Paulo, que projetou uma luva biônica capaz de devolver o toque ao maestro. “Achei que era para lutar boxe”, brinca Martins. Mas quando testou a luva, chorou. O vídeo viralizou. Charlize Theron e Viola Davis compartilharam. O mundo viu, e acreditou.Um novo desafio: levar a música às criançasMesmo diante de tantas perdas — inclusive físicas — João Carlos Martins encontrou formas de continuar. Aos 62, tornou-se maestro. Aos 85, fala agora em dedicar o tempo que tem à educação musical. Em escolas públicas de São Paulo, com copos, papéis e palitos, ensina crianças a ouvir, a tocar, a se concentrar. O método é simples, mas os resultados são visíveis no rendimento escolar e no comportamento das crianças.“Estou com um projeto para mostrar que o poder de concentração das crianças pode ser resgatado pela música. Isso pode mudar vidas”, diz, com a convicção de quem já mudou a própria — mais de uma vez.No início de 2025, outro golpe. O maestro foi diagnosticado com câncer de próstata. Passou por cirurgia e está em recuperação. Mas não parou. Quando perguntado sobre o futuro, não fala em fim. Fala em missão.No Carnegie Hall, encerrou-se um ciclo. Mas a história de João Carlos Martins parece sempre disposta a recomeçar — como uma sinfonia que, mesmo após o silêncio, encontra um novo movimento.

It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode, and our guest is Bilge Ebiri. Do we need to sell you on this? OK, fine: in 1998 Steven Soderbergh took a job for hire directing an Elmore Leonard adaptation and ended up finding the style that would define much of his career, minting George Clooney as a movie star, capturing Jennifer Lopez's best-ever performance, working with Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman and a bunch of other people for the first time, and making one of the most watchable films of the 1990s. Jake also read the whole book. We talk about Leonard's moral universe, prison stuff, cop stuff, crime fiction stuff. I mean, come on. It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode with Bilge.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 11, 2025. With the Easter holiday just around the corner, Angel Studios has an extremely clever and well-done animated film to prepare for the celebration called "The King of Kings." The family-friendly Christian film follows Charles Dickens as he tells his young son the story of Jesus Christ, and the voice cast in this movie is unbelievable!  For non-religious features, there are a couple of Oscar winners starring in action flicks hitting the screens, led by Rami Malek in "The Amateur" in theaters, and followed by Viola Davis starring in "G20" on Amazon Prime Video. Also dropping into theaters, a preposterous (yet entertaining) thriller called "Drop" about one of the worst first dates EVER.  The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.  Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSLNewsRadio App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, or Instagram @FanEffectShow. Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premiere movie entertainment company.
