“I know that the greatest of actresses has about 20 good years of acting in her and that she will go on living for 30 or 40 years as a human being. So, the conclusion I have come to is that I can’t make acting my whole life.”

Gina Kimmel (25 June 1988 – 16 June 2003) (divorced) (2 children)

[on the premiere of Jimmy Kimmel Live! (2003)] It’s insane that America votes for Jay. It’s my biggest fear. Everybody says it’s going to be great; everybody is positive. But in a world where Jay Leno beats David Letterman every night, you can’t be sure of anything. You really can’t.

[on Late Night with David Letterman (1982)] Really, the reason I got into show business is I wanted to be David Letterman’s friend. There are kids in high school, and this guy’s a baseball player, this guy’s on the wrestling team, this guy is really smart. I was the guy who watched David Letterman.

Get to know Sound Mixer Tony Dawe (Return of the Jedi, Alice in Wonderland, Troy)

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Tony Dawe has definitely witnessed a lot of things on set working sound, working on over 120 productions in the last 40 years. It was an honor to interview him after the craft of sound mixing on set and preparing the post-production sound department.

Read the Full Interview at http://www.matthewtoffolo.com

Excerpt on working on The Return of the Jedi: 

George Lucas was very involved in the making of “Revenge of the Jedi”, and spent a lot of time on the sets. I got on very well with George, and we had many discussions about the use of computers in film making and where that was going to go. Looking back, of course he was absolutely right.

Film Review: BLEED FOR THIS (USA 2014) ***1/2

It is a coming-of-age story of a very awkward high-school junior, Nadine (played by Oscar Nominee Hailee Steinfeld from TRUE GRIT) who cannot get along with anyone including her own family – except for her father who dies early in the film and one best friend that she…
