Introducing the Cinema Czar

NO MORE POST HERE. GO TO NEW BLOG – THE CINEMA CZAR

After careful consideration and thinking of the needs of the community, I feel that in order to be part of building the Industry here, I have to amend my title from Shaker Film Czar to CINEMA CZAR. This is a different world, and yet I do want to honor the film industry, in order for us to move forward here, we have to create our own Industry.

Contrary to what someone told me, I do know “The Film Industry.” I also know if we are ever to be part of the movie industry and have consistent production, we can not rely on one source who brings in Hollywood producers who come here to save money. Not that I blame Hollywood, every producer will go shoot anywhere when they can save money. As an indie producer, the reality is you understand Hollywood producers. Whether your budget is $2,000 or $200 million, if you have produced a movie, you go through the same steps.

We need to embrace the talent here and not focus solely on educating people for an industry that does not exist here. If we only focus on education, then we will be training a workforce for an industry in Hollywood.

So I am doing more than just taking the title CINEMA CZAR, I am doing what I can to bring consistent productions here. It will involve a number of things and that will include embracing local talent and also reaching out to the Hollywood industry. The Cinema Industry is open to anyone. So, I have thrown down the gauntlet and now is the time for action.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE FROM THE CINEMA CZAR

The Film Czar is BACK

Been working as the Studio Chief of Prelude2Cinema, but I am still here and helping to craft the CINEMA INDUSTRY from our home in Shaker LaunchHouse.

February 24th, I was honored to pitch an educational/cinematic project titled “I am Hollywood” with Sofia Plass (aka Secret Agent Sofia) at Accelerate 2016.

Who is the Most Powerful Person on a Movie Set?

From 5:30pm to 8:30pm, Friday September 18th, 2015 anyone interested in the Cinema Industry is welcome to drop by the office of the Shaker Film Czar at Prelude2Cinema inside of Shaker LaunchHouse at 3558 Lee Road Shaker Heights, OH 44120.

Please sign up on Facebook, so we can know how many to expect.

Yes, we know there are other events going on the weekend, but you can’t please everyone all the time in scheduling. We actually plan to go to a film party later Friday night.

Prelude2Cinema and Shaker Heights Film Czar is creating a new type of Film School and will be seeking: writers who wish to see their work produced, actors looking to make a name for themselves, those who want to stay behind the camera, and anyone interested in the real business of making movies. The goal is to show students how to be “THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON ON A MOVIE SET.”
