There’s no question that the talent in front of the camera can attract audiences to a film. The female and male lead of the painful romance Love in the Rain have major accolades to boast of in their resume; Vibish Sivakumar for his role in the Oscar winning Best Film Life of Pi and Briana Evigan’s for the Step Up franchise films which earned her an MTV Movie Award. Respectively as Manish and Michelle, the chemistry and talent of these two actors lights up the screen but it’s the work of the professionals behind the camera who emphasize the performances these actors have delivered. This is particularly accurate in regards to Love in the Rain ’s editor Vishnu Perumal. Perumal was enlisted by writer/director Rajendra Thakurathi (winner of “Best of Festival” at the Berkeley Video & Film Festival for My Claire ) when the previous cut of the film was not achieving the tone and potential he’d envisioned. The editing of a film can be as daunting, arduous, taxing, and eventually creativ...

In today’s digital age, there is a general uncertainty around the phenomenon of viral video sharing. People often wonder what the next public craze will be or what content the world will latch onto tomorrow. In fact, some say that it is impossible to predict. Others, like Michelle Runch; however, recognize that there are variables that can be strategically controlled in order to significantly increase the likelihood that a video will spread. Though it is not an exact science, it is one that Runch has manipulated effectively for the better part of her career and with her profound ability to accurately capture the interests of her target markets, she has continued to deliver click-worthy content that her audiences cannot resist circulating. With a diverse background in the entertainment industry, she has developed a thorough understanding of the digital realm and her insight into campaigns has proven invaluable on a number of occasions to date. “It took me a long time to find s...

As a producer, Alex Buxton is relaxed but firm. He understands that filmmaking requires teamwork, and he knows to rely on each different set of skills he has around him to make the best possible production. He treats everyone around him with respect, bringing out the best of their abilities. It is this attitude that has allowed Buxton to rise to the top of his field, becoming an internationally coveted producer and director. “I’ve been doing this for long enough now that I know there are few problems that can’t be solved eventually, and running around in a stress never got anyone anywhere. Producing involves directing a great many people, and unless you give clear, firm instructions, nothing will get done. It’s important that everyone has a clear, unequivocal vision of what we’re all trying to achieve, so there is little room for indecision. I’d never ask someone to do something that I myself wouldn’t do or that I know to be impossible - that’s not fair,” said Buxton. With...

The current Golden Age of TV is a two-way street; that is to say that the excellence of cable, streaming, and broadcast programs have created a Venn Diagram intersection of incredibly talent artists who vacillate between the two. 2018’s Festival de Cannes gave credence to this idea with films like We, the Coyotes . Cast members included Morgan Saylor (of Showtime’s five-time Golden Globe winning series Homeland , and Rob Reiner’s Being Charlie ) as Amanda, Betsy Brandt (of AMC’s Breaking Bad ) as Jeanine, and Whitney Anderson (of Showtime's two-time Golden Globe winning series Masters of Sex ) as Chelsea. American audiences may not be as aware of Canadian cast member Leonard Waldner who appears as an LA landlord in the film but the film’s producer Raphael Gindre professes, “Leonard was cast from amongst hundreds of actors to appear in We, the Coyotes . Leonard is a great actor, very methodic and outstanding. His performance and energy is nothing short of tremendous. Leonard brings...

While we Americans are consumed with the news of the US President and his relationship with different news organizations, UK TV producer Beth Butler possess an inside look at the topic from an outside perspective. As producer of Good Morning Britain’s segment back in 2016 in which Piers Morgan interviewed then presidential candidate Trump, Butler pieced together a series interview segment so popular that it prompted a documentary (also produced by her). GMB’s placement of Butler at the helm of these two productions set a precedent for Britain’s view of the man who would become the most discussed American President in modern times on the world stage. The interview with candidate Trump was recorded in New York at Trump Towers on Friday the 13th May 2016. Butler was placed in charge of the interview due to her track record of success under pressure and this particular interview would make good use of the fact. Tapes of the interview were sent overnight from New York to London for...
