To the people that want to make a film–but can’t get started
by Brian Bowers 07 May '18

07 May '18

I was reading an interesting story this morning. It was about a guy who wanted to learn about business. He knew the best way to *really* learn about business was to talk to the people that were actually doing it--the top CEOs and business icons that had spent years building million dollar business empires of their own. But he was young, and had no experience, so these people wouldn't give him the time of day. So what did this young man do? He offered to clean the offices of the successful CEOs and business people that he wanted to learn from, just so he could have 30 minutes alone in their office to speak with them. And now this guy is running a multi-million dollar business empire of his own. I thought this was a pretty cool story. It shows what lengths someone will go to if they are really determined to learn something or achieve a goal. Now, I know a lot of people that say they want to make a film, but have they actually done it yet? Most of them haven't. There are tons of reasons why not--they don't know how, they don't have equipment, they get overwhelmed by all of the information out there and don't know how to get started. But I don't see most of these people offering to clean the offices of J.J. Abrams or Steven Spielberg to try and learn from the top people in the field. Now, I have an offer for these people--and you--that doesn't involve cleaning offices. And believe me, I'm no Spielberg--but I have worked in the film industry for over a decade and watched thousands of filmmakers make films through the other company I work for, the 48 Hour Film Project. I've seen what works and what doesn't. I've become very adept at guiding new filmmakers through the process of creating their first film. And I've put together everything I've learned through the years into an online filmmaking workshop that begins on May 21st called *Zero to Film.* It's a four week workshop designed to take you from idea to fully finished film. I'll guide you through the process, and you'll get feedback from other workshop participants and myself along the way. Registration for *Zero to Film* is open now, but will close at the end of this week. If you'd like to finally make that film you've been talking about and get step by step instructions on how to turn your film project into a reality, check out the workshop: http://www.gorillafilmschool.com/online-filmmaking-workshop/ <https://el2.convertkit-mail2.com/c/preview/e0hph0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5nb3JpbGxhZ…> -Brian Bowers *Personal Website <http://brianbowers.net/> * • * Gorilla Film School <http://gorillafilmschool.com> * • * 48 Hour Film Project <http://48hourfilm.com>*

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" Opens this Weekend at Western Reserve Playhouse
by B W 06 May '18

06 May '18

“One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.” Western Reserve Playhouse presents the searing drama One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Dale Wasserman, based on the book by Ken Kesey. The show will run during Mental Health Awareness Month, May 11-26. As part of their commitment to community awareness, WRP is partnering with Portage Path Behavioral Health to bring you this show. In doing so, WRP & PPBH will be holding talkbacks after the performances on May 12th, 20th and 25th. These talkbacks will include the ability to talk with the cast and director, as well as different clinicians who specialize in mental illness. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is the story of McMurphy, a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather than in a prison. While there, he clashes with Head Nurse Ratched, who has no time for his nonsense. McMurphy quickly takes over the yard and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to do for years: He leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the World Series on television and arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor and women. After a tragic event occurs, Ratched and McMurphy go head-to-head – and only one of them will win this battle. Co-Artistic Director Brian Westerley directs this stunning play. Award-winning actress April Deming is the formidable Nurse Ratched, while newcomer to WRP Ryan Rasnick tackles McMurphy. The other patients are played by Joe Turner, Andrew Gordon, Dennis Burby, Craig Webb, Marc Dusini & Irv Korman. Rounding out the cast are Abby Morris, Vince Sarowatz, Bradley Haramis, David Wagar, Mikhayla Wilkins and Annette Fernandez. The show contains adult language and themes. Show Times: 8PM Fridays & Saturdays; 6:30PM Sunday. Tickets: $17.00 Adults; $15.00 Seniors & Students. To reserve tickets, please visit our website: www.westernreserveplayhouse.org<http://www.westernreserveplayhouse.org> The venue is located at 3326 Everett Rd., Bath, OH 44286.

Review of "Beehive" at Great Lakes Theater
by Bob Abelman 06 May '18

06 May '18

‘Beehive’ at Great Lakes Theater all honey and no sting Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, American Theatre Critics Association It is unlikely that Great Lakes Theater thought to counterprogram what is currently being offered across the street at Playhouse Square, but its production of “Beehive: The 60s Musical” could not be more different than the touring “Aladdin.” While “Aladdin” is a larger-than-life, deep-pocketed musical conceived by the collective brain trust of the Disney Theatrical Productions juggernaut, “Beehive” is an intimate, low-budget, no-frills jukebox musical created by a guy named Larry Gallagher, a booking agent with a momentary epiphany.

Berko review: BEEHIVE @ Great Lakes Theater
by Roy Berko 06 May '18

06 May '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgement: Go tap your feet, hark back to those “olden” days when life had a different level of angst, hum or sing along with the talented young ladies, and be educated in the way that theatre represents the era from which it comes. In this case, the musical 60s.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>* to read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
