  • Rex Sikes' Movie Beat chats with location scout and author Tim Moshansky Pt 2

    Tim Moshansky Pt 2 we will continue exploring the duties of a location scout by hearing more about events, mishaps and memorable set/location stories AND also focus on Film Terms and Tim's book A to Z Guide to FIlm Terms. Celebrating his 20th year in the film industry, Tim Moshansky knows a little about how a film or TV show is put together. In 1989 Tim worked on (at that time) the biggest show ever shot in North America, the 16th Century Japanese Samurai epic "Heaven and Earth" (Ten To Chi To). Tim was a "Squad Sergeant" in charge of 40 extras on a film that featured over 2000 foot-soldiers and 500 horses with riders, all in Samurai costumes. Since 1995, Tim has worked as a location scout for dozens of films, commercials and TV series. From the highest rooftops to underground tunnels, and from the grungiest alleyways to the snazziest penthouse apartments and mansions, Tim has scouted it all. In the midst of all this, Tim found the time to write and publish the A to Z Guide to Film Terms, a pocket-sized guide to over 750 terms and phrases used by directors, producers, and film crews. Now in its 4th edition, the book is required reading at many film schools and training centers across Canada and the United States, and has sold over 16,000 copies. Some of Tim’s credits include “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”, “AVPR Aliens vs Predator”, “Good Luck Chuck”, “88 Minutes”, “In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale”, “The Wicker Man”, “Firewall”, “Get Carter”, ‘“Reindeer Games” and more.

  • Rex Sikes' Movie Beat chats with actor/writer/director Nick Mancuso Pt 2

    Nick Mancuso Pt 2 and I will continue our discussion on creativity, movies, acting and art and who knows what else will come up in this conversation. The legendary critic Walter Kerr of the New York Times called Mancuso’s performance in Merchant of Venice at Stratford Ontario one of the best interpretations of the role of Bassanio in 250 years.

    In the late 80’s the Los Angeles Times referred to Mancuso as "A Renaissance Man" and Kevin Thomas called his performance in "Ticket To Heaven" one of the best performances of the decade. He has garnered acting awards in Canada, the U.S.A. and in Europe. He has worked in over 10 countries and in three languages having starred opposite legendary performers such as Sophia Loren, Catherine De Neuve and Charlton Heston. In Hollywood he has been called "an actors actor" and "one of the best" by icon producer Robert Evans, producer of "Chinatown" and "Love Story". In 1983 he was invited to become an associate of the Actors Studio by co-chairman, actor, Martin Landau. During that period he was submitted for a Golden Globe and Oscar consideration. He starred in Tri-Star’s first motion picture "Blame it On the Night" executive producer, Sydney Pollock and in the late 80's worked for Oliver Stone in the miniseries "Wild Palms" opposite Jim Belushi, Angie Dickinson and Robert Loggia. In 1985, after working with Kim Bassinger in the film "Motherlode" he was invited by then president Charlton Heston to become a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, which he refused on philosophic grounds.
    In the early 90’s his series "Matrix", shot in Toronto and with Carrie Anne Moss was the first television series to be produced by the U.S.A Network.Stay tuned to Rex Sikes Movie Beat for other great archived interviews, cast and crew listings, events, festivals, premieres, and more at http://www.rexsikes.com

  • Rex Sikes' Movie Beat chats with The Reel Truth author Reed Martin Pt 1

    Reed Martin Pt 1 interviewed for his book are independent film icons Kim Peirce, Terry Zwigoff, Werner Herzog, Doug Liman, Harmony Korine, Atom Egoyan, documentary flimmakers Barbara Kopple, Ken Burns, Ric Burns, and 'Pulp Fiction' producer Lawrence Bender, 'Juno' producer Lianne Halfon, and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' producer Anthony Bregman, among others. Among the directors that talked with Martin were recent Oscar winner Danny Boyle ("Slumdog Millionaire"), Kenneth Lonergan ("You Can Count on Me"), Seth Gordon ("The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters") and Harmony Korine ("Kids"). Since 2001, Reed Martin has taught "Film Marketing, Distribution, and Exhibition," a course he created at Columbia Business School and later developed at NYU's Stern School of Business. The course seeks to teach students how to apply effective film industry marketing and brand-building techniques to the launching and brand-building of traditional consumer products. Reed started work on "The Reel Truth" in 2001 after attending the Sundance Film Festival in 2001 and hearing that many of the biggest names in the independent film world had encountered the very same roadblocks and pitfalls on the road to getting their projects completed. After that he set about compiling a list of production and post-production landmines that aspiring filmmakers should look out for, since nearly all of them would have been avoidable had someone tapped them on the shoulder just five minutes before calling "action" or "cut." After attending Sundance again in 2003 and 2005, Reed had finally compiled enough interviews with filmmakers to compile their advice and best-practices into a 540-page book, complete with three working indie film production budgets and a sample representation contract to help protect aspiring screenwriters.
