Film Good/Do Good Is Stronger Than Ever

As a prolific unit production manager, Tyson Bidner has worked on Film Good/Do Good service events with several New York productions.  In May, with HBO’s Succession, Bidner joined other members of the production team to conduct a green initiative at P.S. 253Q in Far Rockaway, Queens. Students, who were given lunch and received custom water bottles, learned about gardening, the importance of recycling and helped unpack and set up the trash and recycling bins the production donated to each of the school’s classrooms. Bidner, who’s worked on other Film Good/Do Good events with FX Network’s The Americans and Marvel’s Iron Fist, says he thinks “Film Good/Do Good is a rewarding and important program because it allows a show to give back [with] more than just a donation. Since projects are more hands-on and participatory, it allows for a great connection with the community and a greater understanding of the issues faced by some of our neighbors.”

Since its April 2016 launch, Film Good/Do Good has led 34 service events by connecting film and television productions to schools and non-profit organizations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx, Harlem, Queens, Far Rockaway, Utica, Syracuse and Buffalo. Several more events are in the works between now and January, including the Producers Guild of America’s (PGA East) fourth consecutive year of participating in New York State’s Annual Holiday Coat/Toy Drive to help needy New Yorkers around the state. Other productions that have participated in Film Good/Do Good include The Joker (Warner Bros.), Orange Is the New Black and The Irishman (Netflix), Godfather of Harlem (Epix), and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon). Organizations that benefit from this initiative are varied and have included The Campaign Against Hunger, New York Common Pantry, Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), Rauschenbusch Metro Ministries, City Harvest, Safe Horizon, Women’s Prison Association, Xavier Mission and Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation, to name a few. Paramount’s A Quiet Place 2, which shot in Buffalo, showed its gratitude to the city on Sept. 25 by donating racks of clothing, shoes and accessories to Compass House, an organization that offers hope and services to homeless youth in Western New York.  That donation coincided with a career day the production held that inspired students from The Service Collaborative of Western New York, whose mission is to provide educational opportunities for at-risk and low-income individuals. In August, Warner Bros.’ In the Heights worked with Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation (NMIC) in custom-building a mahogany podium, wired for sound and adorned with a plaque featuring the movie’s name, the year and an inspiring line of dialogue from the film: “Ay, mama what do you do when your dreams come true?” Sara Chapman, NMIC’s Director of Educational & Career Services said, “we are all still marveling at the beautiful podium and have already started putting it to good use.” Filmmakers from In the Heights led a dynamic career seminar following the podium’s unveiling ceremony. “Film Good/ Do Good provided an opportunity for the production team to share their talents and skills with the next generation of storytellers,” said Karla Sayles, Warner Bros. Director, Public Affairs. “NMIC is an incredible organization and our team found the experience to be meaningful and rewarding.”  Chapman added that  “it really means a lot that the production team was willing to give their time, share their stories and offer advice to the teens/young adults and NMIC staff members, giving them the chance to hear about career opportunities that we typically don't expose them to.” A partnership between the Governor’s Office of Motion Picture & Television Development, the NYS Commission on National & Community Service, and New York Cares, Film Good/Do Good is the first and only state government-organized community giveback program in the nation that is tailored specifically to the film and television industry and is dedicated to amplifying the positive impact productions bring to New York State beyond the economic footprint.  For more information or questions about Film Good/Do Good, contact filmgoodnys@esd.ny.gov.

A Serious Man (2009)

Comedy, Drama |

A Serious Man is a black comedy-drama film written, produced, edited and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Set in 1967, the film stars Michael Stuhlbarg as a Minnesota Jewish man whose life crumbles both professionally and personally, leading him to questions about his faith.

The film attracted a positive critical response, including a Golden Globe Award nomination for Stuhlbarg, a place on both the American Film Institute’s and National Board of Review’s Top 10 Film Lists of 2009, and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In a prologue, a Jewish man in an unnamed 19th-century Eastern European shtetl tells his wife that he was helped on his way home by Reb Groshkover, whom he has invited in for soup. She says Groshkover is dead and the man he invited must be a dybbuk. Groshkover arrives and laughs off the accusation, but she plunges an ice pick into his chest. Bleeding, he exits their home into the snowy night.

In 1967, Larry Gopnik is a professor of physics living in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. His wife, Judith, tells him that she needs a get so she can marry widower Sy Ableman, with whom she has fallen in love.

CHRISTOPHER STORER'S FOOTWEAR. THE BEAR SEASON 3

Off topic a little, but is Christopher Storer wearing Yeezy Foam Runners here?

They're supposed to mold to your foot after several wears

I only noticed because they were so long

UPDATE UPDATE.

Someone pointed out they're wearing shoe covers. I'd forgotten they were in someone's expensive mansion. So of course they have to cover their shoes

His feet are just long then 😒

Queens: Busy Borough is Focal Point for Production Industry

New York State is a world-class center for film and television production and, in New York City, the borough of Queens plays a critical role in the continued success of the local industry. 

Here are some of the reasons why:

Soundstages and series: Kaufman Astoria Studios, Silvercup Studios, Broadway Stages and York Studios are among more than a dozen soundstages located in Queens. Recent Queens studio projects in the state’s film production tax credit program include: Season 6 of Younger; the new miniseries The Undoing; Season 3 of The Deuce; Season 2 of Succession; and the miniseries, The Plot Against America. These projects alone will generate an estimated $350 million in local economic activity and create approximately 18,000 hires.

Film-related classes and programs: A number of Queens-based  schools prepare students for careers in the arts and production. The Frank Sinatra School of the Arts (FSSA), Queens College, and the Academy for Careers in Television & Film (ACTvF), are educating the next generation of talent.  “Opening the school in Long Island City Queens - right on the waterfront - has put us at the very center of the New York film production scene. We have both access to and internship opportunities at the major Queens sound stages, film/video rental companies, and an easy ride to both Manhattan and Brooklyn’s rich and varied film communities,” says Alan Metzger, Director of Production Unit with ACTvF. The Governor’s Office of Motion Picture & Television Development (MPTV) also runs a Locations 101 seminar program at local colleges and high schools as a supplement to the film curriculum. The program offers best practices on how to professionally scout, secure and manage locations for film productions—and how the locations team works with the broader production team on projects.

Renowned Film Festivals: The borough also boasts world-renowned film festivals throughout the year, celebrating the art of filmmaking, showcasing local talent and fortifying networking opportunities for New Yorkers. The Queens World Film Festival will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2020. Executive Director Catha Kato says the festival gives local filmmakers “a vast and supportive audience” for their work and an opportunity “to make connections with artists around the world who are having similar artistic conversations about the same themes.” At this year’s Queens World festival, MPTV organized a “Making It In New York: A Producer’s Guide” panel with veteran New York-based producers. And the Festival of Cinema NYC, in Forest Hills from Aug. 2-11, is in its third year, with more than 100 independent films from around the world.

Tyson Bidner, who’s currently working on Season 2 of Succession, says “there are many reasons why Queens has become the epicenter of the film community” but the borough’s diversity is key.  “It resembles who we are as Americans--a true melting pot of various cultures and communities working and living together,” Bidner says.  “Filmmakers are drawn to the variety of looks, languages and backgrounds that make up this borough.”
