Los Angeles FEEDBACK Film & Screenplay Festival

I thought that the feedback video was one of the best gifts this short film could bring me. Everything the audience said was so precise, every emotion… They captured the essence of the film! I never thought it could go so far. It really inspired me to keep on working.
– Director Laura Garcia (ALEX)

Today’s NEWS: Monday July 4, 2016

Neil Simon is 89 years old today. His best quotes:

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Read the best quotes of the iconic playwright and screenwriter Neil Simon. 

If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.

Talent is the gift plus the passion – a desire to succeed so intense that no force on earth can stop it.

Once you start compromising your thoughts, you’re a candidate for mediocrity.

I much prefer writing an original movie with the screen in mind to transferring a play to the screen.

I love living. I have some problems with my life, but living is the best thing they’ve come up with so far.
I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which…

Happy Birthday: Geraldo Rivera

Born: July 4, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA

Married to: Erica Levy (10 August 2003 – present) (1 child)

On Hannity (2009) on February 4, 2015, he mentioned that his long-since-ex-wife C.C. Dyer miscarried six IVF-conceived children during their attempts to have children. Their seventh-IVF-conceived child was born full term and named Isabella.

He and his family differ on what his greatest accomplishment is. He even, according to him, had to remind them that he won a Peabody and an Emmy Award because they were very enamored that he guest starred on Glee.

Inducted into the International Mustache Hall of Fame in 2015 (inaugural class) in the category Film & Television.

His son, Cruz Rivera, became the father of a girl, who was born on June 30, 2015. She is Geraldo’s first granddaughter.

Happy Birthday: Neil Simon

neilsimonHappy Birthday writer Neil Simon

Born: July 4, 1927 in The Bronx, New York City, New York, USA

QUOTES:

When it’s 100 in New York, it’s 72 in Los Angeles. When it’s 20 in New York, it’s 72 in Los Angeles. However, there are six million interesting people in New York – and 72 in Los Angeles.

On writing 1991’s “The Marrying Man”: “With a play, I have only two people to please – myself and the director. With this movie, it was 19 executives, a director who’d never done anything but animation before, and two stars who would tell you what lines they’d say and what lines they wouldn’t say.”

On Hollywood: “Everyone in Hollywood is looking for a blockbuster. They tell you their last movie ‘only grossed $70 million,’ as if that were some kind of crime.”

I don’t like writing for comedians. I like writing for actors. The best comedians are the best actors.

Happy Birthday: Eric Fleming (1925–1966)

ericfleming.jpgHappy Birthday actor Eric Fleming (1925–1966)

Born: July 4, 1925 in Santa Paula, California, USA

Died: September 28, 1966 (age 41) in Tingo Maria area, Peru

Drowned while filming a TV scene in Peru at age 41.

During Fleming’s enlistment in the Seabees in 1942, his face was shattered when a 200-pound block of steel slipped from a hoist. A long convalescence and four plastic surgical procedures created the face familiar to Rawhide (1959) viewers.

Fleming was unmarried and had no children. He was to have married long-time companion Lynne Garber within two days of his death.

His mother’s maiden name was Anderson.

Happy Birthday: Tracy Letts

tracylettsHappy Birthday actor/writer Tracy Letts

Born: July 4, 1965 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

[re August: Osage County (2013)]I know that there’s another dimension in the film that is not in the play, and that’s Osage County. I would take them [filmmakers] to my home and show them the landscape, that’s kind of profound for me as a guy who not only has written a play, but written a play that’s somewhat autobiographical. The landscape itself becomes a character.
