Our good friends at The Naked Angels are producing Stephen Belber’s FAULT LINES directed by David Schwimmer. The cast includes Noah Emmerich, Dominic Fumusa, Josh Lucas and Jennifer Mudge.
One of my first jobs in the city was working on The Naked Angels’ production of Stephen Belber’s TAPE. Geoffrey Nauffts directed that production, and he is now the Artistic Director of the Naked Angles. Dominic Fumusa was one of the first NYC actors that I got to work with, and his professionalism and respect for me was one of the reasons I stayed involved with theater. I met Jennifer Mudge during our production of Lucie Tiberghien’s The Things We Know. Jenny was our leading lady and a class act all the way.
If you are looking for something to occupy your time this week, I highly recommend – going to see FAULT LINES.
Press notes for Fault Lines read: “Whole Foods, Edie Brickell and mini-hot dogs abound in this dark and twisted new comedy, in which a seemingly ordinary boys’ night out turns sour for two friends when a stranger forces them to delineate the boundaries between loyalty, conviction and betrayal.”

You won’t be disappointed!

On the Leesh has a very busy fall, our busiest yet. As they say in the
restaurant biz – “We’re in the weeds.” While other production
companies our size will work on one or two projects a year, we
currently have eleven open projects that are in one phase of
production or another.
We normally have this number of projects open, but what makes this
different is that six of our projects right now are in open production. This means cameras are rolling and computers are editing. We don’t
get like this all the time, but right now and through December, we’re
completely excited about all the work that is coming through our
office and we don’t want to say no to any of it.
How does each
project get it’s fair access of the On the Leesh spotlight? Well sometimes, I have to work weekends.
It’s not so bad really – I give myself certain liberties when working
on weekends: I’m allowed to wear pajamas to work, I can eat ice cream for lunch and if I need to take a Broadcast News-Holly
Hunter-break, I allow myself to do so. All in all, it’s not that bad. Come to think of it, I’m almost my own lifetime television for women reality
show. The only difference is people would be bored out of their mind
watching me sing to myself as I generate title cards on videos, or try
to figure out the nebulous cost of gas for a line item in a budget. I pride myself on my organizational abilities, so I do have that on my
side.
I’ve noticed recently though, that my dreams include all the characters I’m
editing. Holly from The In-Betweens of Holly Malone visits Johnnie from The Sexually and Bernice from In the Can Productions has cupcakes at Frannie’s
house from For Belly. It’s kind of interesting to see what will happen next with
them. Perhaps we have a whole new season right there. A sort of cross
over, Buffy/Angel kind of thing.
Oh no, I just made it twelve projects!
More updates as I go along…

Why should I relay the successful screening about Denim’s Coney Island Film Festival screening when our clever writer/director of the film can speak in his own words. So… in the words of Mr. Jeff Lycett…
Hi, all.
yesterday was another successful screening of Denim. the coney island film festival was very welcoming.
we were in a block of several very good short films, which made me feel honored to have been selected.
during the question and answer afterward they asked the various directors to talk about the inspiration for their film and share a favorite coney island memory. i spewed out my usual story regarding demin, “my friend, the producer, she’s a crazy person… i saw bruce in his underwear… i’m a dylan fan, but slowly converting… etc, etc.”
then, having never been to coney island, i stated the truth, “in my thirteen years of being in new york, this is the first time i’ve been out here.”
there was a disapproving grumble from the audience, which lead me to “boooo” myself. i then thanked the festival organizers for their acceptance of our film, as well as having the festival itself, otherwise i never would have made it out there. this won the audience over again.
and we all lived happily ever after.
talk soon,
jeff
p.s. i’m making the arrangements to go up to williamstown at the end of october.

This week, OTL was at the IFP Conferences. We actually “took” meetings! Awesome. We met a lot of great emerging writers looking to get their work produced and then went to some interesting panels. Sometimes the information seemed contradictory, such as one would say ‘just get your work out there – whether online or in theaters’ and another would say ‘don’t just put your work out there…’. Although the differing points of view were sometimes confusing, they were still valuable. I took away from it that the best approach is to look at the specific project and what your end goal is. Is it less about money and more about having a calling card for you work? Is your fan base big online or is your audience older and less internet-savvy? Like everything in life I guess, there’s no one answer, which, well sucks, and yet, it’s nice to have the freedom.

This week, OTL was busy shooting Season 2 of The Sexually. Upcoming episodes include interviews with the band members where they have to field questions about military history, and reveal who their living heroes are. One problem: they’re all high and/or drunk.
Interesting… stay tuned…
