Charlie Sheen Debuts Cooking Show with Funny or Die
By rariccardi | Filed in gossip, Internet Broadcast
He’s obviously with it enough to appreciate that what he’s doing is, in many ways, absurd. And he’s level-headed enough to poke fun at himself while getting fired from one of the highest paying gigs in television history. Maybe Sheen did have some sort of breakdown and decide to give Hollywood and the world at large the finger, but maybe he’s more in control of his train wreck than we give him credit for and we shouldn’t put Miss Ratched in control of his cigarette consumption just yet.

Ten Commandments of Online by Emil Rensing
By rariccardi | Filed in computing, Internet Broadcast, writers
10 If content is king, then creators are deities.
9 More people will spend more minutes watching more video on a computer/tablet/phone today than they did yesterday…
8 The word “content” should be referred to as “the other c-word”. Don’t be in the content business. Be in the “Hits” business. Don’t make content. Make hits!
7 Always be the low-cost provider.
6 Super-distribution… because who doesn’t want to be super?
5 Raising prices is the hardest thing you can do, so stand firm, be prepared to not get paid, and keep growing. They’ll come around eventually.
4 There’s 4 ways to evaluate quality: Script, performance, production, delivery. All of them are subjective. None of them are ever enough.
3 Reject the first offer.
2 Never listen to anyone who says, “That’s how we do it in Hollywood!”
1 Believe in your passions.

PILOT SEASON LOCATIONS: New York Production Booming, Canada Loses Ground – Deadline.com
By rariccardi | Filed in Broadcast Talk Shows, writers
In August, New York State’s Film Production Tax Credit Program was extended and expanded to $420 million per year. Several months later, pilot production in the Big Apple is back in a big way. Nine broadcast drama pilots are filming there now, including such high-profile entries as NBC’s Prime Suspect and Smash, ABC’s Pan Am and CBS’ Susannah Grant. That is up from zero last year. The pilot for CBS’ New York-set Blue Bloods only shot some footage there.

Full Sail Grad Rocco Nisivoccia, Jr.: On ‘The Good Wife’ and His Own Zombie Film
By rariccardi | Filed in directors, films in production, Internet Broadcast
While still working on his career in locations, Rocco has also recently launched his own independent production house, Nisivoccia Films. Taking what he’s learned about the industry, he and his team have already developed two short independent films, as well as a documentary, which they’re shopping around to different distributors. One of those two shorts – a zombie film called Eat Me – will be screening at the New York No Limits Film Festival in March and the Garden State Film Festival in April.“It’s funny to think about my first days on a set after I graduated, where I was just in awe of everything going on around me,” he says. “I was all wide-eyed, looking at this gigantic crew bringing a movie to life. Now I’m right there in the middle of it helping to make it all happen, and even making my own movies. It’s a great feeling.”Check out the website for Rocco’s zombie short film Eat Me at www.eatmezombie.com.

Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you’ll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It’s just that it’s not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

By rariccardi | Filed in directors, Internet Broadcast
The Internet has been buzzing with the release of ‘Throwdown,’ the latest commercial from Nike, promoting their Nike Free line of shoes. Featuring a roster of athletes challenging each other in a cross-country game of “top that!”, the clip features some impressive, non-CGI enhanced displays of physical talent. But one of the more interesting aspects of this new commercial is that it’s directed by Jake Scott, the man who made this past fall’s ‘Welcome to the Rileys’ who just also happens to be the son of Ridley.
