Actor/Director Dialogue – How to Discern Someone’s Style of Speaking by Sean
Pratt

Understanding the director’s speaking style, as well as your own, will go a
long way to helping you effectively communicate with each other.

Perhaps this has happened to you.  You’ve just finished performing your scene
and have gone to the director to get your notes.  She says, “Wonderful. 
Let’s do it again but this time infuse the scene with the color blue.”  And
you’re thinking to yourself, “Is the director crazy?  What does that
mean?!”  Nothing can be more problematic to the success of a project than when
the director cannot clearly communicate with an actor and vice versa. 
Essentially, it boils down to the way each of them speaks and listens. And when
it comes to talking, while you can’t change the director’s way of conveying
her/his ideas to you, you can endeavor to understand what kind of style it is
and adjust your responses accordingly.

Airing a new supernatural tale each week since 1977, KBS� Korean Ghost Stories
series has become a genuine cultural phenomenon in Korea, where it�s known by
the title Hometown of Legend. The Korea Society is bringing the phenomenon to
American audiences, screening eerie, hour-long episodes of the on the third
Thursday of November and December, beginning on Thursday, November 19 and
continuing on Thursday, December 17.

Drawn from ancient folklore, Korean Ghost Stories� tales tell of tortured ghosts
and supernatural curses in a uniquely Korean context. Women are forefront.
Forced by Confucian culture to be subservient in life, in Korea�s ghost stories
they return from the dead to take their revenge on the men who caused them
misery. The tales also touch on Korean attitudes towards justice, suggesting
that the duty of the powerful to protect the powerless transcends even the
grave.

Screening Schedule

Actor’s Advertising Campaigns – When to Stay in Touch and When to Bang Your
Drum by Sean Pratt

In order to help advance their careers, actors must learn how to use the two
basic methods of publicity.

In the world of marketing, there are two distinct kinds of advertising campaigns
– an “Ongoing Campaign” and a “Promotional Campaign.”  These two kinds
of campaigns work hand in hand to create a sense of recognition and momentum for
a business (or an actor) which, in turn, can create opportunities for them to
succeed. But knowing each one’s form and function is crucial to getting the
results you want.

As the Fall semester begins to wind down, Parallel Lines is still looking for a few cutting-edge docs or independent films  to add to our Documentary & Film Library at www.ForwardInTime.com

This Fall we added 9 new titles and are expecting to add 8-10 titles for the Spring semester.  4 years ago, we started with 4 documentaries I produced myself, and we now have approximately 225 titles in 22 educational categories. To date we have sold our documentary and independent film titles to more than 900 schools and libraries in the US, Canada, Australia & NZ. 

What we believe sets us apart from more traditional documentary distributors is:
(1) We offer our producers a 40% royalty whic h is double what the vast majority of distributors offer.
(2) We do not force producers to sign a 2-3 year exclusive agreement. We are only interested in selling programs to specific markets and allow producers to opt out in 45 days if they are unhappy with the our marketing efforts.
(3) Producers have t he option to supply the DVDs for sale or to have us handle the duplication and printing for them.

If any producers have documentaries or independent films that can help promote discussion or raise awareness in college classrooms, you can check out the related categories on our web site and send us a DVD screener to review.

Thank you.
