Ann Maria in Novela Land

I produced this earlier this year for Fluency which is a sub-company of NBC/UNI. It makes a couple films a year aimed at the hispanic audience. I believe it will have a limited theatrical release at the end of February.

I recognize like 50% of the cast.

How does a low budget get that many known actors/actresses?

Elizabeth Pena. Any indications of her problems while you were working on the film? I first became aware of her as an actress in Lone Star.

And Luis Guzman. Dude's a boss of low key/random/cameo appearances that are sometimes more memorable than the main roles.

I was able to get the cast pretty cheap. Guzman was the most expensive one and he originally wanted $60K per week. I think we got him down to $30K or $40K per week. My total budget on this was $1.6MM.

Elizabeth Pena seemed completely normal when I was around her but I did not spend a lot of time with the actors.

Wow that's pretty amazing for that budget.

I've heard Guzman can be a real ahole to other cast members. I think some bad stories came out about him from the movie Waiting.

Steadicam - would you be willing to set aside any kind of time for some sort of E! board AMA? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think there are plenty of us who have some questions about the film industry and your personal career seems pretty interesting.

Guzman was one of the coolest actors I have worked with. Not a single problem.

Ask anything you want and I will try to answer. I work on the production side of the industry so that is where I am most knowledgable.

I'm sure I'll think of more questions, but the thing that spurred that comment is that I've always thought of the producer was the person who put up the money. So did the studio put up the money and just hire you to run the show?

Yes the studio put up the money. I was hired to directly run pre-production and production.

You have interest in getting into directing, don't you?

In my head I'm making the analogy to football. Head Coach: Director:: General Manager: Producer. Is that fair?

I appreciate it, by the way. I've just never really gotten a straight answer on this stuff because I'm sure it changes a lot depending on the people.

No. I was offered to shoot porn about 3 years ago. Turned it down. The closest I came to the porn industry was shooting video and stills for Katy Morgans podcast when she did her show at the Lovitz.

I really have very little desire to direct a feature. I have directed 2nd Unit before. Here is me on a fully restored Zero that I directed the 2nd Unit Int. Cockpit scenes in. It even had a CD player it it.




There are so many variations of producers and even directors to fully say yes to your coaching analogy.

I just finished the mochbuster to The Rock's earthquake movie San Andreas. I might work on Sharknado 3 if it shoots early enough in January but I got offered to manage a western that starts prepping in February.

Care to share the stories about naked and afraid? The rib and I love that show!

Maybe a deprecate thread would be more appropriate?
