Still, some in the business detect a bias based on a combination of race and genre. “For years, it was seen as a given fact that black [crew] guys couldn’t do pop because they weren’t as competent,” says Reeves. “The thinking was that you didn’t have to be as good an audio or lighting guy or rigger because the standards were somehow less or looser than in rock and pop.” Adds Tony Bulluck, “Some guys haven’t said this, but some of them don’t consider roadies or techs of color competent. They don’t know them from the man on the moon. It’s a matter of trust, and I understand that. When you kick off a show, you want to feel safe and secure and that everyone is doing the best job they can. But to make the assumption that they have to be Caucasian? That’s not happening.” … [Read more...] about Music’s Road Crews Are Overwhelmingly White and Male. Meet the People Trying to Change That

Maheep said, "We didn't go looking for the show... the show came to us. My first reaction was, 'Oh my God! Will people make fun of me?'

You are doing this with your friends and you have stories to tell'.

Alex Winter Talks Zappa, His Future Plans with Keanu and Freaked Toys [Exclusive]
Alex Winter: Yes, it makes complete sense. And obviously, it was a very important decision. Mike Nichols and I, the editor, we played a lot with sound. Mike was building soundscapes that were working in all different kinds of ways with the visuals. And then Lon Bender, the sound designer and sound editor, came in and created a whole other bed of sound. So we were very concerned about not just jamming the film with Apple music for the sake of it. We really wanted to use his music to tell the story, and to tell his story. And in fact, that was really our agenda for everything. We didn't really want to use archival media, no matter how splashy it might be. Unless it told his story. We didn't want to use concert footage unless it told his story. That was kind of our rule and that stood for samples. Music. There was a point at which we tried experimentally using on lease Apple music for the score, basically crafting an entire score out of music. But it was very intrusive. And it didn't … [Read more...] about Alex Winter Talks Zappa, His Future Plans with Keanu and Freaked Toys [Exclusive]
The Finest Hours Set Visit Part 2 with Ben Foster & Kyle Gallner
James Whitaker: Yes, Craig has a great eye, a great precision about it. Obviously there's Casey Affleck, who's great, has this wonderful character that lives in the engine room. And in living in the engine room, he has to emerge in a heroic way, by coming up on deck and seizing control of the Pendleton. Michael Raymond-James plays his antagonist, he's very good. There's John Ortiz, who is excellent. Kyle Gallner is terrific. He's a shy assistant to the cook, played by Abraham Benrubi, a kind of larger than life character. He's the heart and soul of the Pendleton itself. So there's interesting, well drawn characters that have these little roles. Josh Stewart, he's great, play's Tchuda Southerland. The only person that can understand Tchuda on the boat is Casey. He's of Cajun descent, so his language is a little bit hard to get. There's a translation thing that goes on that's very funny. Graham McTavish is just great too. I don't know if you know Graham, he's 6'5", larger than life. He's … [Read more...] about The Finest Hours Set Visit Part 2 with Ben Foster & Kyle Gallner
