Tea with sg Sean Glass

S05E12 @Reunion newsletter dropped today. Podcast will now be on Substack, with only previews here. Sign up at: reunionwattba.substack.com Sam Wasson just released The Path to Paradise: A Francis Ford Coppola Story, which completes a trilogy of sorts following The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood and Hollywood: The Oral History. The books traverse the full history of the Hollywood studio system, bookended (literally wow haha so fun to say that) by the dive deep into the last time the studio system worked, and the most valiant attempt at continuing it. Now we have TikTok. Enjoy our talk and check the newsletter for more. https://www.samwasson.com/

Ryan Czerwonko @ryanczerwonko runs Adult Film @adultfilm.nyc an NYC collective of actors, writers, and directors focusing on theater, actor training, filmmaking, and film screenings. He's an example of a contemporary actor who the industry didn't hand everything to...so he took his own control. We're excited to host an improv and film event this Friday November 10 to exhibit multiple facets of that work and the community he built. Hope to see you there. RSVP

Fernando Reinaldos @fernandoreinaldos will show his short film The End Monday November 6 with Reunion at Alamo Drafthouse. It's one of the film's he's made as part of his Columbia MFA film program. I'm really excited that the actresses in the movie will be present to watch with an audience. It's a meditative piece that can spark conversation, with a few aspects requiring interpretation that those from different walks of life will bring significantly divergent takes to. RSVP here.

Mateen Stewart @mateenstewart is a comedian, standup producer and host of Late for Work, a weekly comedy night in Los Angeles that will have their NYC debut tomorrow night, Sunday November 5th with Reunion cohosting. The lineup is great, should be a fun time. We talk a lot about the comedy industry, how development on late night shows has been replaced by viral video pursuits. Similar to film, the bottom line is putting butts in seats. Hope to see you tomorrow night. https://wl.seetickets.us/event/late-for-work/570037?afflky=TheCuttingRoom&source=ev

Sophie Compton @sophietaracompton & Reuben Hamlyn @urghreub released their debut feature SXSW Special Jury Award winning doc Another Body last week. It’s a real life horror movie. We actually talked to some genre fests about playing it in horror blocks, didn’t work out because of timing. It bears down on a specific aspect of the AI conversation—deep fake porn. At the heart of it is an investigation into the psychological torment that brings the perpetrators to commit these acts on victims they know and don’t, as well as the obvious torment that befalls the victims. There’s a giant, multi layered rabbit hole in the narrative. Some actual formal twists rarely found in a documentary. Go see the movie if it’s playing nearby, just for the conversations you’ll have with audience members outside the theater, or PVOD it at home with some friends. https://anotherbodyfilm.com/the-film/
