Choose Your Own Adventure

It's another edition of Choose Your Own Adventure.  I've been running all over Hollywood covering events, so pick the one that interests you the most.  I can't even keep up with everything I am doing, but it is all compiled in one central location.

1.  New Media Film Festival:  Eddie Carrington wrote a great article in the Examiner about the New Media Film Festival and he kindly gave me a shout out.  Thanks, Eddie!  Also, the LA Film School published their photos from the festival and they included a couple of them from the live stream.  You can see the photos on their Facebook page and a shout out to Ben for taking and posting the photos. Thanks, my friend!



2.  Gracie Awards:  You can see all of my photos here and check out the interviews above with Meredith Vieira, Peggy Fleming, Dr. Laura Berman, Linda Ellerbee, Mayim Bialik, and more.

3.  Diva Talk Radio:  A big thanks to Gina Parris and Kelli Claypool for having me on their show yesterday.  It was a 30-minute discussion on my journey and the myths of Hollywood.  Don't believe the hype, ladies!  If you missed the show, you can listen to the episode here.

4.  Godspell:  If you missed the news, "I'm a Broadway Producer!".  Find out how that happened here.  The opening night was officially announced yesterday, so I have marked November 7, 2011 on my calendar.  Yep, I'll be there opening night at the Circle in the Square Theatre as two of my longtime friends team up to bring the revival back to Broadway.  2011 is turning out to be the year of dreams for me.

New Media Film Festival

Today is the official opening of the 2nd Annual New Media Film Festival here in Los Angeles.  To open the festivities, I will be hosting the red carpet LIVE tonight at 6PM PT/9PM ET on Mingle Media TV.  You can watch all of the festivities online here.  The lineup for tonight's red carpet includes famous faces like Erin Gray (Do you think she will mind if I sing the Silver Spoons theme song to her?) and perennial Academy Awards red carpet favorite, Sally Kirkland. (Click on her name, you will see what I am talking about.) I hope you join us for all of the fun and festivities tonight or, if you are in LA, head over to the festival's screenings this weekend.

Also, a big thank you to SAG New Media for the nice article summing up the panel I hosted at Digital Hollywood earlier in the month. You can check out the article here.

After a busy week, I am spending my weekend huddled at home.  What are you up to this weekend?  

New Media Innovators Panel: Live Online Networks

Last week, I had the opportunity to moderate a panel at Showbiz Cafe LA on the future of live online networks with Susan Johnston of New Media Film Festival, Michael Davis of The Room Live, and Stephanie Piche of Mingle Media TV.  It was a fascinating evening talking about the successes and challenges of running an online network, and of course, monetization.  It was also a huge thrill to learn that we had over 22,000 viewers watching on Stickam that evening.  So, thank you all for a great panel and thanks for watching!  If you missed the panel, you can check it out below:
