The Daytime Emmys took place on Friday, June 25, honouring the best of daytime television. Here’s the complete list of the Daytime Emmy Awards that have been handed out this year.
SOUTH SURREY-RAISED PRODUCER HELPS BRING ‘THUNDERBIRD’ TO THE SCREEN
On one level, Thunderbird is a compelling mystery thriller about a man’s search for his missing sister in a small fishing village in the Pacific Northwest. But on a deeper level, it’s also a story about racial tension and guilt – both societal and personal – and the continuing need for reconciliation between indigenous peoples and the descendants of white settlers. https://www.surreynowleader.com/entertainment/south-surrey-raised-producer-helps-bring-thunderbird-to-the-screen/
SURVEY SHOWS SUPPORT FOR LADNER VILLAGE FILMING
The survey found 30 of the 33 responses in favour of filming being allowed to continue, but some of respondents were not aware of the new film liaison officer who is paid for by the film production company and is on-site during filming to assist with questions and concerns from the public. https://www.delta-optimist.com/local-news/survey-shows-support-for-ladner-village-filming-3884863
STUDENT FILM TAKES NORTH VANCOUVER GRAD GAME 'GOTCHA' TO THE EXTREME
A group of talented North Vancouver students tackled some tough subject matter and some even tougher COVID restrictions this year in making a feature film about a divisive annual grad event.
“IT’S NOT SLOWING DOWN”: STREAMING FUELS DEMAND FOR FILM AND TV RESTORATION
With the launch of major streaming services and fewer new movies released during the pandemic, there’s been an insatiable appetite for content, prompting viewers to rediscover old favorites. That has fueled an explosion in the demand for library titles — and the restoration work to reintroduce those films and shows. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/film-tv-restoration-plans-1234972146/
PLAYING THE ACTION VS. PLAYING THE MOOD: ADD DEPTH AND BUILD TO YOUR SCENE APPROACH
If you’ve ever had a director or text coach instruct you not to play the emotion of a scene, you may have wondered why. Aren’t emotions exactly what we’re hired to play? But the advice is shorthand for a concept that is all too easy to overlook. Let’s break it down. The first thing to consider is the second, silent half of that sentence. Don’t play the emotion of the scene… play the action. https://www.castingnetworks.com/news/laying-the-action-vs-playing-the-mood-scene-approach/
HOW TO PLAN FOR ACTING CAREER LONGEVITY
This past year and a half certainly brought to the forefront the challenge of how to sustain longevity in an acting career. No one really knows what the new normal will be like, but what I do know is if you made it this far and are in it for the long run, there are certain things to do to sustain longevity. https://www.castingnetworks.com/news/6-ways-to-plan-for-acting-career-longevity/
THINGS EVERY ACTOR NEEDS AS THE INDUSTRY REOPENS
Don’t feel pressured to return to your routine as an actor if it doesn’t feel right. Plus, your former routine may not be serving the actor you are now. Let’s face it. We have all changed as a result of the pandemic in more ways than one, so what we used to do may just be that—what we used to do. https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/things-every-actor-needs-as-the-industry-reopens-73543/
