  • Sandra Oh Sandra Oh Is a Major Reason Why
    30 INTERVIEW EDGE n Thursday nights in America, life simply stops for somewhere between 10 inte rview Oand 20 million television viewers as they settle in for the newest episode of Grey’s Anatomy . Sandra Oh Sandra Oh is a major reason why. As Dr. Cristina Yang, she plays opposite the series’ title character, Dr. Meredith Grey, who is portrayed by Ellen Pompeo. They lead an ensemble cast that has become a second family to fans since the show first aired seven seasons ago. As J.M. Stewart discovered in this interview, Oh’s knack for creating signature characters (think Arli$$ and Sideways ) comes from an astonishingly honest place. Sandra’s greatest talent, however, may be the ability to keep her head and value her craft in a world where performers are measured by SAG Awards and Emmy Nominations. Of which she has plenty, by the way. EDGE: How was it conveyed to you that Grey’s Anatomy was a different kind of medical drama? s e g a m I It was never said or expressed SO: y t t e formally. The writers and [series G / p u creator] Shonda Rhimes found a way o r G n of telling this story that just worked. It o i s i v is basically a classic storyline. There e l e T are five acts, each person has a C B A y medical issue, and a lot of the time e n s i these medical issues reflect what is D / o c i going on with the characters.

  • Partition Prod.Notes Final
    PARTITION PRODUCTION NOTES India, 1947, in the last days of the British Raj, a way of life is coming to an end. Intertwining cultures are forced to separate. As PARTITION divides a nation, two lives are brought together in a profound and sweeping story that reveals the tenderness of the human heart in the most violent of times. From award-winning Kashmiri born filmmaker Vic Sarin comes PARTITION— A timeless love story played out in the foothills of the Himalayas against a backdrop of political and religious upheaval. The Story Line Determined to leave the ravages of war behind, 38-year-old Gian Singh (Jimi Mistry), a Sikh, resigns from the British Indian Army to a quiet life as a farmer. His world is soon thrown in turmoil, when he suddenly finds himself responsible for the life of a 17-year-old Muslim girl, Naseem Khan (Kristin Kreuk) traumatized by the events that separated her from her family. Slowly, resisting all taboos, Gian finds himself falling in love with the vulnerable Naseem and she shyly responds. In a moving and epic story, woven into an exotic tapestry, they battle the forces that haunt their innocent love, fighting the odds to survive in a world surrounded by hate. The History Director Vic Sarin’s memories of India—the things he witnessed and the stories he heard as a child—have left an indelible impression on him. The tragic story of a friend of Sarin’s father - a Sikh gentleman who loved a Muslim woman - became the inspiration for the two archetypal Romeo and Juliet characters in his movie.

  • Diagnosing Drama: Grey's Anatomy, Blind Casting, and the Politics Of
    Diagnosing Drama: Grey’s Anatomy, Blind Casting, and the Politics of Representation AMY LONG N FEBRUARY 5, 2006 NEARLY THIRTY-EIGHT MILLION VIEWERS CHOSE TO forego post-Super Bowl celebrations in favor of tuning in to a Omuch-hyped episode of ABC’s hit medical melodrama Grey’s Anatomy. The episode thus constitutes ‘‘the best scripted-series perfor- mance since the series finale of Friends’’ in 2004 and ‘‘the best per- formance of an ABC show since an episode of Home Improvement in 1994’’ (‘‘Grey’s Scores Big’’). Grey’s Anatomy and its multiracial ensem- ble stand in marked contrast to the all-white casts of both aforemen- tioned shows, a fact that has not been lost on media observers. When civil rights groups issued their annual ‘‘diversity report cards’’ for 2006, ABC garnered the highest overall grade of the four major net- works (an A-), thanks in part to shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, and Ugly Betty (‘‘Grey’s Leads Charge’’). Its diverse cast and the production practices through which it was assembled have been the major focus of the media attention conferred upon Grey’s, second only to stories con- cerning the colossal audiences it routinely snags.1 The show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes (currently the only African American woman ‘‘showrunner’’ in network television), gives the credit for her show’s diversity to her ‘‘race-blind’’ casting methods. In her Time Magazine profile of the writer and producer, Jeanne McDowell notes that ‘‘[Rhimes’] script for the pilot had no physical descriptions [of its characters] other than gender,’’ a statement repeated in almost all of the popular press coverage the show receives.2 As Rhimes herself affirmed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, ‘‘We really read every color actor for every single part.
