AI commercial by Suzanne Bronson  •  last post Jun 26th

Here is a commercial created without actors, this is in the SAGAFTRA, IATSE, and Teamsters contracts. AI objects are considered. READ.YOUR.CONTRACT.CAREFULLY. Get an entertainment lawyer. This will mostly affect extras I imagine. No need to hire actual people. Therefore, no need for crew either.

Kevin Costner is not returning to Yellowstone by Sam Sokolow  •  last post Jun 21st

This has been a fascinating drama to watch... and I don't mean the actual series (which I love)... the back-and-forth between Coster, Sheridan, and Paramount has been nothing short of epic. And Costner just made it official that he's not returning for the final episodes. I will miss him in the show and can't wait to see how they orchestrate his absence as the writing is always top notch. What are your thoughts on this? https://deadline.com/2024/06/kevin-costner-not-returning-to-yellowstone-1235979839/

Donald Sutherland by Richard "RB" Botto  •  last post Jun 20th

What a remarkable, varied career. Elevated so many films. Charm and class in abundance.


I once heard someone refer to him as one the most underrated, versatile actors ever because they wanted to put him in a box - as Hollywood is prone to do - but he wouldn't let them put him in a box. A lesson for all.

"I Wish Actors Knew..." (from a 1st A.D.'s POV) by Matthew Cornwell  •  last post Jun 19th

This is the most recent (and possibly last) video in our series. I sit down with an accomplished 1st A.D. (Walking Dead, Tell Me Lies, plus many others) to talk about the things new actors do (or don't do) versus how veteran actors behave on a set. The whole series has completely shifted my mindset when walking onto set. Hope it helps!
