Examining & Reflecting On The "Quiet On Set" Documentary Series

"Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV" is a docu-series that recently aired and has many people talking — for good reason. I recently finished up the series and after watching various reactions online, it got me thinking about all kinds of aspects. Much of them echo what many others have already shared, but this episode attempts to dive into new territory. The goal, in so much as there may be a goal, is to examine what brings about this culture, ask if the same culture exists elsewhere in kids TV, what can be done to prevent it, and so on. I did my best to articulate my thoughts. Please forgive me if I didn't express an idea in the most eloquent way and instead judge any ideas based on the spirit with which they were intended. Thank you and I look forward to your thoughts, too. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Let Go Of Anger & Stress Through Grace

In my younger days I'd get upset if things weren't going "according to plan." This of course caused me stress and translated to other people I was working with, lowering their work as well. As I've grown older, I've learned to have more grace and handle situations tactfully, as needed based on the circumstances at hand. This mini-episode shares some examples of how it's manifested itself in my work life. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

What To Look Out For In Freelancer Contracts

While I'm not a legal expert and I certainly advise you to always have a lawyer look over any contract you sign, I did want to share an overall piece of advice that has benefited me—whenever possible, look to make things as equal as possible within the language. For example, if there's a copyright clause, a confidentiality clause, etc then all those should apply to the client and you exactly the same. There shouldn't be more protective language for the client and yours be weak (aka minimal protections). I've seen contracts where I would be held so liable if I said anything negative about the client but none of that was in place to protect me from the client saying anything about me. That doesn't work for me and it doesn't have to work for you! Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Investing in Learning: How Tim Ferriss' Philosophy Inspired My First Feature Film & Can Help You Too

In this thought-provoking episode, I delve into the wisdom of Tim Ferriss and how his unconventional approach to learning sparked a paradigm shift in my own journey. Inspired by Ferriss' mindset of investing in experiences rather than traditional education, I recount how I applied a similar philosophy when embarking on my first feature film endeavor. By adopting a mindset where failure equated to a valuable lesson rather than a loss, I embraced the opportunity to learn through action, resourcefulness, and resilience. Join me as I explore how this mindset transcends the realm of filmmaking, offering a blueprint for anyone seeking to pursue their passions and ventures with calculated risk and unwavering determination. Whether it's launching a business, mastering a new skill, or pursuing creative endeavors, the philosophy of investing in experiential learning is a transformative force waiting to be unleashed.

This Earth Of Mankind (Pramoedya Ananta Toer) In-Depth Book Discussion

Welcome to our 24th episode in the monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and myself, Phil Svitek. If books are your passion, you've come to the right place! In this episode, we delve into This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer which is the first book in his epic quartet called Buru Quartet, first published by Hasta Mitra in 1980. The story is set at the end of the Dutch colonial rule and was written while Pramoedya was imprisoned on the political island prison of Buru in eastern Indonesia. The story was first narrated verbally to Pramoedya's fellow prisoners in 1973 because he did not get permission to write. The story spread through all the inmates until 1975 when Pramoedya was finally granted permission to write the detailed story. The central character and the narrator of This Earth of Mankind is a Javanese boy, Minke, who is fortunate to attend an elite Dutch school because he is a descendant of Javanese royalty (the character is based on Tirto Adhi Soerjo). Minke faces a complex and dangerous world when he meets Nyai Ontosoroh, a njai or concubine of a Dutch man. Minke's life becomes more dangerous when he falls in love with Annelies, the beautiful Indo daughter of Nyai Ontosoroh. In This Earth of Mankind, Pramoedya portrayed the unjust life of the Indonesian people during the Dutch colonization period when social status was governed by the amount of European blood running through their veins. Pramoedya characterized Minke as an outspoken person, who refuses this hierarchical society by becoming a writer instead of a speech-maker, which bears a resemblance to Pramoedya's life who was jailed for two years after carrying anti-Dutch documents and then became a writer. Join the conversation! Share your thoughts, queries, and viewpoints in the comments or connect with Marisa (@serafinitv) and me on social media. In our upcoming discussion, we'll explore There You'll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones. And be sure to catch Marisa's new podcast, "Friends & Favorites w/Marisa Serafini," available at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/friends-and-favorites-w-marisa-serafini/id1693327509.

Anxious People (Fredrik Backman) In-Depth Book Discussion

Welcome to our 23rd episode in the monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and myself, Phil Svitek. If books are your passion, you've come to the right place! In this episode, we delve into Fredrik Backman’s Anxious People where looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world. Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them—the bank robber included—desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next. Join the conversation! Share your thoughts, queries, and viewpoints in the comments or connect with Marisa (@serafinitv) and me on social media. In our upcoming discussion, we'll explore This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer.

Rick Rubin's Creative Wisdom: Put the Audience Last in Art

Delve into the profound insights of legendary music producer Rick Rubin as he emphasizes the importance of putting the audience last in the creative process. In this exploration, we unravel Rubin's perspective on why prioritizing the audience can stifle creativity and result in flat and uninspiring works of art. Discover the essence of Rubin's message – that genuine art must have heart. Uncover the pitfalls of creating solely for the audience, as opposed to crafting a piece with a deep and authentic connection. Rubin contrasts commissioned works driven by studios' demands with visionary projects, citing examples like Peter Jackson's commitment to bringing Tolkien's world to life on the big screen. Join us in understanding how focusing on the audience can lead to art born out of fear rather than creativity. Learn why, according to Rubin, true artistic expression requires an unwavering commitment to the core of the creation – a passion that goes beyond audience expectations. If you're curious about the intersection of creativity and audience connection, this exploration of Rick Rubin's philosophy is a must-watch.

Covid Hit Me Hard - 1/15/2024: Vlog

I've been absent for most of 2024. But sadly, it's not because I've been working diligently on my longer term projects. It's because after 4 years of managing to avoid Covid, it finally hit me. And it hit me hard. That's why this vlog is a short update for you. I'm still not 100%, but I'm back to getting work done. Therefore, I aim to have new, meaningful episodes for you sometime next week. Thank you for your patience. Stay healthy out there! Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!
