Utah Oscar Connection

Any Utah connections to the Oscars this year? I only know of one. Utah local, Geralyn White Dreyfous co-founded Impact Partners who brought the filmmakers of The Cove (Best Documentary) together with their investors. The film showed at last year's Sundance Film Festival and picked up the Audience Award and also picked up distribution with Roadside Attractions. Congratulations to everyone involved along The Cove's road to success!

Large-Budget Movie Filming in Utah

(Taylor Kitsch stars as John Carter in upcoming film to be shot mostly in Utah)

Tuesday, Feb 9, 2010 @12:07pm CST
The state of Utah is again seeing stars.

Walt Disney Studios is filming “A Princess of Mars” in different locations around the state. The movie is based on the first novel in the “John Carter of Mars” series by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Disney is expected to spend as much as $60 million in Utah, including $10 million in Grand County alone.

The studio plans to hire hundreds of people for the shoot. If you are interested, send a resume to jcomoffice@gmail.com . Officials ask that you don’t call. The resumes will then be forwarded to Disney for consideration.

MEISNER: BY THE BOOK

Event Description:
What we are calling the class: "MEISNER: BY THE BOOK"

Time: March 2, 2010 from 7pm to 9:30pm
Location: Jeff Johnson Casting Studio
Organized By: Tye

When is the class: Currently we will start March 2nd, and will continue Tuesday nights. Class will start promptly at 7 pm and will go for approximately 2 1/2 hours.

Where will the class be held: The class will be held at (Jeff Johnson Casting: 2150 S. Main st. Suite 102, SLC UT 84115)

Who will be running the class: There is no coach/instructor for the class, there is a group of guides who have all had Meisner training, some have had more experience than others, the real coach will be "the books", hence the name of the class. ( I would advise picking up THE SANFORD MEISNER APPROACH WORKBOOK 1 and reading the first couple chapters before March 2nd just to get ahead of the game)

How much will the class cost: Again, since there is no coach, the only concerns we have are rental space and upkeep, so for the majority of the participants the class will only be $5 a week. (yes thats right, five... not a typo)

SUPPLIES

The Sanford Meisner Approach Workbooks 1-4

You'll also need a journal. something to write in for the class.

thank you, we are all really excited to see where this class goes.

New Moon

I went and saw this movie on Tuesday night for a dollar. The plot was good, good enough that I still plan to read the book, but the movie was bad. SO. BAD.

Worst Kisser in Hollywood

Now, despite being a rather attractive man who is incredibly talented and has a great set of lips, I practically gag whenever I see him in a kissing scene. Seriously, do you watch Scrubs or anything else with him kissing in it? It's gross.
