Interview with Director/Writer Tyler Lionel Parr (IRONIED)

festreviews Uncategorized

matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

Tyler Lionel Parr’s short film IRONIED played to rave reviews at the June 2016 FEEDBACK Film Festival. Tyler was the writer, director, and 2 time star of the short.

MOVIE POSTERMatthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?

Tyler Lionel Parr: My motivation came from walking the streets of Toronto. It always pained me to see people who lived on the street, had so little and yet seemed to own the world. It was fascinating to me, on a primal level. How and why did they come to this ‘place’ in life. There was a story, and I wanted to know it.

MT: From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?

TP: 2 years and 16 days. I wouldn’t change a minute, no matter how arduous it was.

MT: How would you describe your short film in two words!?

TP:…

Died Today (July 9th): Isabel Sanford (1917–2004)

isabelsanford.jpgIsabel Sanford (1917–2004)

Born: August 29, 1917 in New York City, New York, USA

Died: July 9, 2004 (age 86) in Los Angeles, California, USA

Isabel Sanford was a Broadway actress for over thirty years before moving to Hollywood. She made numerous guest appearances on TV, including a stint as a supporting cast member on The Carol Burnett Show (1967). Until her passing, Isabel continued to act frequently, most recently in a series of commercials for Old Navy stores with The Jeffersons (1975) co-star, Sherman Hemsley. She made several commercials for Nick-at-Nite as well when the cable channel premiered The Jeffersons (1975).

QUOTES:

On receiving her Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she said: Here with stars in my eyes – something that I dreamed about when I was 9 years old. There are others that deserve it, but let everybody get their own.

If there’s anything in life you consider worthwhile achieving — go for it. I was told many times to forget show business, I had nothing going for me. But I pursued it, anyway. Voila!

In 1996, she said: I watched the first episode of that, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the background. I didn’t like the way they dressed. I didn’t like the way Archie Bunker talked about black people. But I decided to watch the next episode anyway to see if I could determine why they would allow this trash to be on the air, and I found myself falling down laughing.

Kurt Cobain (24 February 1992 – 5 April 1994) (his death) (1 child)
James Moreland (14 February 1989 – 15 June 1989) (divorced)

QUOTES:

[commenting on her brief relationship with Trent Reznor] “Trent and I had this torrid whatever-you-want-to-call-it…he said in “Details” that my alleged pregnancy would have to be immaculate conception, so I said in “Spin” ‘Don’t call your band “Nine Inch Nails” if you have a three inch one!’ My band is called “Hole.” It’s not called “big hole,” it’s not called “little hole,” it’s not called “flapping nony”, it’s not called “teeny rosebud”, it’s not called “Barbie pussy.” It’s called “Hole.”

[on her music career with Hole] “I said this band is going to be ten times bigger than Sonic Youth but not as big as Jane’s Addiction. What was the but for?! It’s like a fucking curse! The gods were listening that day! I could have said ‘this band will be ten times bigger than Sonic Youth and The Beatles’ and that’s where we’d be right now.”

[on Kathleen Hanna] I still don’t like her. She bugs me. Kathleen Hanna runs that ship [her relationship with Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz] in a way that is far more Yoko than I would be. I envision her being in a decked-out loft with a little corner for a desk that look like it belongs in a poor person’s East Village apartment, with her battered-women’s stuff and her Ms. magazines and all her communication with leading feminists.

raymondcruz.jpgHappy Birthday actor Raymond Cruz

Born: July 9, 1961 in Los Angeles, California, USA

Raymond Cruz is a mild-mannered man who studied writing and theater. He is perhaps best-known for his portrayal of the frighteningly lethal “Tuco Salamanca” in AMC’s ground-breaking show Breaking Bad (2008), a character he later reprized for the first two episodes of the “Breaking Bad” spin-off, Better Call Saul (2015).
