I’ve been working as a producer for 9 years now. When it comes to conducting an interview, every producer finds their own technique or ritual over time. I have come up with my own “sty…| FADE IN:
I’m a sucker for docu-series of any kind, but especially when it comes to science…I’m instantly hooked. For the last few weeks National Geographic has been running Season # 2 of “Cosmos,” inspired by the lifelong research, writing and original 1980s PBS series (of the same name) by Carl Sagan. To quickly summarize if you […]| FADE IN:
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'” – Fred Rogers Maybe it’s because we’re living in a time where we’re more divided than we’ve been in decades, but the […]| FADE IN:
In the last remaining hours before this year’s Academy Awards, I’ve given a lot of thought, as I always do, about all of this past year’s most-acclaimed films as a whole. Collectively, is there a certain theme that runs though them all? When cinema studies students of the future (like I used to be) study […]| FADE IN:
You say you want a revolution… Mere hours before the 88th Annual Academy Awards goes live we find ourselves coming off of the most turbulent and tense years in recent memory. Increasing racial tension, a growing rift between the classes, mass shootings, debate over gun control all loomed over the American psyche throughout last year. […]| FADE IN:
Anyone that knows me knows that one of my favorite days of the year is here. I’ve been watching the Academy Awards religiously since I was eight years old, rooting for my favorite films and performances to be rewarded with Oscar gold. Every year I do my very best to see as many of the […]| FADE IN:
I’ve been re-reading “The Power of Myth” recently…an immersive transcript that details the discussions between author / journalist Bill Moyers and mythologist Joseph Campbell in the mid-1980s. At the end of the first chapter, Moyers asks Campbell about the presence of “God” in all things as they dive deeper and deeper into a discussion of […]| FADE IN:
I’ve spent a lot of time creating posts on this blog that share either personal or collective lessons that have been learned by philosophical minds, political leaders, great scientists, and unforgettable artists. On the personal side, I’ve paid tribute to my grandparents by sharing the lessons I learned from spending the hours after and between […]| FADE IN:
My last post on this blog was about my grandfather Anthony, on my Father’s side. On the other side of the family is my grandfather Pete, a man I have very few memories of. When I was four or five years old he suffered a debilitating stroke that severely impacted his motor skills and most […]| FADE IN:
His name was Anthony Fabrizio. Most people that knew him called him Tony. Those that knew him best called him “Breeze.” I called him Grandpa. He passed away on April 9th…20 years ago today. Time is funny…the way we treat it and the way it treats us. 20 years ago feels like so long ago […]| FADE IN:
