FILMS, TV AND EVENTS
The entertainment creation division produces, writes, directs, edits and distributes through Broadway Blast Amazon. Products created strive to be both entertaining and educational and include films, TV and events. Some projects are for-hire by clients and others are media properties that grow out of yearly community outreach events in partnership with Manhattan Kids Guide. These events include “Lights, Camera, Read” in June, “Harvest Festival NYC” in October and “Winter Festival NYC” in December.
CLUB CORRADO NJ
An examples of a current entertainment project in development that was done as a demo for Al Roker’s production company, is an Italian American cooking and dating show for Alex Corrado (of reality television and Anthony Hopkins “Hannibal” fame) at www.alexcorrado.com/index2.html. The pilot is entitled www.ClubCorradoNJ.com and is itself an exercise in minimalist creation in that it was done in a few hours with no crew or lighting and was shot entirely with a mini camcorder.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, READ
Another entertainment project in the works is called www.LightsCameraRead.com and is being done for the NYPL’s www.SummerReadingNYC.org and consists of a “kidumentary kaper” about the search for the trophy and video of a contest winner. The contest is called ”Lights, Camera, Read” and is being held for kids 0-teen who write and submit short stories based on their favorite books. For example, a lover of detective books would write a detective story, a child who enjoys history books would compose a history story. The winning short story will be dramatized by the Magic Neighbor puppets with the short film dramatization premiering at The Platinum Pias Awards. The dramatization will also be included in the DVD release to participating locations of the approximately 90 New York Public Library branches. A public service announcement (PSA) is also being developed, the host of which may end up being a VFW long term client who is a popular young TV actor.
HOW WE WILL CREATE AN ENTERTAINMENT PROJECT FOR YOU
There are two ways to work with us on entertainment projects. The first is when you hire us to make a product for you and the other is when you participate in one of our in-house projects. For example, “Club Corrado NJ” was a project we were hired to produce and shoot whereas “Lights, Camera, Read” is one of our “Manhattan Kids Guide” internal community undertakings. For the kidumentary and the PSA, VideoFilmWeb.com is now seeking kids of all ages to appear on camera who are currently writing a short story entry based on the style of their favorite book. If you are a business owner, service provider and entertainer there are definite promotional and philanthropic benefits to getting involved as a volunteer in one or more of the “Manhattan Kids Guide” events. |
