New World Stages, 340 West 50th street, betw. 8th and 9th Avenues.
You can reserve FREE tickets at the NYTVF website. There is a $3.50 processing fee. So...
You can just show up at the door (it's a big theatre), which is what we're planning on doing on Thursday. Later we'll find something to eat. Maybe at Hallo Berlin.
I worked with Dave and the lovely Lala (whose production company is Magnetic Media) a year or so ago when they thought that a TV show about Urban Gardening, hosted by Me, might hit the spot. It didn't! But making the teaser to shop around to networks was a lot of fun. Maybe I can dig out the disc and find a way to upload it for general amusement.
I met Dave when he was freelancing as the soundman for a CBC interview I did in a rooftop garden in 2007, and the seed was planted in his head. Poor seed: we watered it, fed it, but the Beings that Pay just don't seem to want gardens. Idiots. Or maybe it was me...Maybe the yellow dress was a mistake.
The competition is screening a lot of other pilots, too, so you can make an evening of it. It's a fascinating glimpse into the business of selling the ideas that become - in. some. cases. only. - what we watch.
Says the woman who does not own a TV. But I'm a DVD junkie.
What else to say about Mr Schumacher? He's a musician - we bonded during that shoot over opera, which he loves; and he cooks a mean leg of lamb.
Here's a taste of an NYCMusicShow episode.
I would think that the time would be ripe for a show on Urban Gardening, given all the coverage it's getting in the mainstream media these days. Might be time to float that pilot again by the powers that be!
