Yes, we are back again at the Short Film Corner at the Festival de Cannes 2009! Last year our executive producer was there showcasing AUDITION, a film produced via the New York Film Academy, and this year we registered our very first in-house short documentary, SINGER WITH NO NAME. Check out our official SFC page here: http://bit.ly/m5UGK and our trailer for the film here.

Having an absolutely marvelous time at Podcamp Arizona . Tweeting about it @olivestreetfilm and posting the occasional silly stream to http://qik.com/olivestreetfilms . Enjoy! (I know this NYer is enjoying the 90 degree first of November!)
"When I started, improv had the biggest impact on my acting. I studied the usual acting methods at college—Stanislavsky and whatnot. But none of it really clicked for me. My problem with the traditional acting method was that I never understood what you were supposed to be thinking about when you’re onstage. But at Second City, I learned that your focus should be entirely on your partner. You take what they’re giving you and use it to build a scene. That opened it up for me. Suddenly it all made sense. It’s about your partner. Not what you’re going to say, not finding the perfect mannerisms or tics for your character, not what you’re going to eat later. Improv helped to distract me from my usual stage bullshit and put my focus somewhere else so that I could stop acting. I guess that’s what method acting is supposed to accomplish anyway. It distracts you so that your body and emotions can work freely. Improv is just a version of method acting that works for me."(Wikipedia, "Tina Fey", 2008)
