  • Oliver Stone's Nixon: Politics on the Edge of Darkness IAN SCOTT
    Oliver Stone's Nixon: Politics on the Edge of Darkness IAN SCOTT In the introduction to his controversial book, The Ends of Power , former White House Chief of Staff, H.R. Haldeman describes Watergate as being an expression «of the dark side of President Nixon» 1. Later in the book Haldeman cites former Special Counsel Charles Colson as a key man who «encouraged the dark impulses in Nixon's mind» 2. Stephen Ambrose has written that Nixon «never abandoned his black impulses to lash out at the world...», while Henry Kissinger offered the view that «the thoughtful analytical side of Nixon was most in evidence during crises, while periods of calm seemed to unleash the darker passions of his nature» 3. Christopher Wilkinson -talking directly about Oliver Stone's film-has focused on the movie's analogy of a «beast» that «also became a metaphor for the dark side of Nixon himself» 4. Wherever you look in the vast array of literature on the life and times of President Richard Nixon, as sure as you are to hear the description «Shakespearean tragedy», so the notions of dark and brooding forces are never far away, following in the shadows of the man. As many have pointed out, however, Nixon's unknown blacker side was not merely a temperamental reaction, not only a protective camouflage to deflect from the poor boy made good syndrome that he was proud about and talked a great deal of, but always remained an Achilles heel in his own mind; no the concealment of emotional energy was tied up in the fascination with life and beyond.

  • Award-Winning Filmmaker Ron Howard Elected to the Board of Directors of Jacob Burns Film Center
    AWARD-WINNING FILMMAKER RON HOWARD ELECTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF JACOB BURNS FILM CENTER Pleasantville, NY – July 26, 2011 – Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Jacob Burns Film Center (JBFC), a nonprofit institution with a dual mission of independent film exhibition and 21st century education. “Ron has been a member of the JBFC since the very beginning. He was the recipient of our first Vision Award in 2005, has delighted our audiences through Q&As following screenings of his films, and has been an important voice in our educational mission,” said Steve Apkon, Founder and Executive Director of the JBFC. “And, now as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary and continue to plan for our future, we are thrilled to have Ron’s passion, humanity, and creativity on our Board.” “Having been involved with the Center for so many years, I am excited and honored to join the Board,” said Ron Howard. “I remember years ago sitting in a room discussing with Steve and several faculty members the relevance of JBFC’s approach to education given the world we live in today. I believe in the guiding principles behind both their education and film programs and I want to help explore new partnerships that broaden their reach.” The JBFC Board is committed to the expansion of the Center’s innovative education programs, which are as vital to the organization as its acclaimed film programming and have reached over 75,000 students across the region. The JBFC programs teach students to communicate with visual and aural media while learning the skills of collaboration, innovation, problem solving, cross cultural understanding, and risk taking.

  • One-Page Outline Guidelines
    The one-page outline Having the ability to pitch your ideas succinctly, in written and verbal forms, is a key skill the emerging screenwriter needs to have because you are unlikely to get an established producer or director, agent or studio executive to read your treatment or script without first giving him/her a good reason to read it, and in a form that is easily consumable, because they are busy people who always have a pile of scripts and treatments waiting for them to read. The one-page outline is designed to give them that reason and is attractive because they can tell it will only take a few moments to read and whether your idea stands out from the others. The guidelines that follow provide the foundations for writing this selling document well. The point of the outline is to sell your idea to the reader. You need to make the reader able to conceive, visualise and determine the kind of film it would be just from reading this document. He/she should be able to tell what kind of production values it will have, including whether its success would be dependent on a name actor and/or director and whether they would be interested in it; he would have an idea what audience the film would appeal to and whether you have the professional capabilities as a screenwriter to deliver on your promise and, finally – and don’t underestimate the importance of this – he/she would be able to tell whether this is his/her (or the company’s) kind of film.
