Slaves Of Hollywood - A 1993 film about Hollywood Assistants ripped from today's headlines, sort of.
by Terry Keefe
Back in the mid-90s, Michael Wechsler, Brian Grossman, and myself collaborated with a bunch of great young actors and crew for this micro-budgeted feature film about tortured Hollywood assistants. Alex Simon makes a few cameos also!
As we were going for "theater of the absurd," and (mostly) dark laughs, it isn't the perfect companion to today's headlines, but some of the milieu will be familiar. The stories about Harvey Weinstein abounded even then. In total honesty, I had great bosses in Hollywood, and the film is all based on stories we had heard about Other bosses. The ones you didn't want to work for. There but for the grace of God went we. But Meryl Streep did later call Harvey "God," so it all gets confusing.
We shot this two years before Kevin Spacey tore up the screen as the abusive producer in Swimming With Sharks,...

Last night the final four contestants of Project Runway "lucky season 13″ battled it out with runway shows at New York Fashion Week. The designers had very different design "voices," which led to four incredibly varied final collections—boho elegant vs. street style vs. editorial vs. elevated denim. It was one of the best final shows in the show's history, according to Heidi Klum, which made the judges' job even harder. But they finally did decide on a winner: Sean Kelly.

Just in time for Halloween, the chilling new trailer for The Red Robin has arrived. The film stars Judd Hirsch, Ryan O'Nan (The Brooklyn Brothers Beat The Best), Jaime Ray Newman (Red Widow and Supernatural), C.S. Lee (Dexter), Caroline Lagerfelt (Gossip Girl), and Joseph Lyle Taylor. A hit at this year's Montreal World Film Festival, the film centers around an ill-fated family reunion where a famous psychiatrist (Judd Hirsch), who once did secretive work for the CIA, is accused of adopting his children so he could use them as guinea pigs for sinister experiments in mind control.

Hi folks: I'm not usually one for blatant self-promotion, but a feature I co-produced and helped develop over a number of years is premiering at the Montreal World Film Festival in August, and I'm very proud of it so you're getting a post. It's called The Red Robin and stars Judd Hirsch (Taxi, Damages, Maron, Independence Day), C.S. Lee (Dexter), Ryan O'Nan (The Iceman, the Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best), Jaime Ray Newman (Red Widow, Supernatural), Caroline Lagerfelt (Gossip Girl), and Joseph Lyle Taylor. It was written and directed by an old friend and creative collaborator, Michael Z. Wechsler. The story is a psychological thriller which can be best be described as The Celebration meets The Manchurian Candidate, about a dying, famed psychiatrist (Hirsch), who also did mysterious work for the CIA during the Cold War. On his deathbed, his youngest adopted son (O'Nan) accuses his father...

As Sundance draws to a close this week, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival revs up its annual star-studded event, which includes the U.S. premiere of The Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best, one of the surprise hits of the most recent Toronto Film Festival. Brooklyn Brothers was written and directed by Ryan O’Nan, who also stars in the film and who has been having what could be modestly described as a “breakout year.” O’Nan composed much of the music for Brooklyn Brothers, which centers around a fictional two-man band comprised of O’Nan and Michael Weston (“Six Feet Under”). At Toronto, Rhino Records fell under the spell of the tunes so much that they offered the pair a recording contract, under the fictional Brooklyn Brothers moniker. O’Nan has also just completed starring roles in Freelancers, opposite Robert De Niro and Forest Whitaker; The Frozen Ground,...

We're on the set of The Red Robin feature film and were blown away by the work of production designer Dave Barnes, who transformed a stately Villanova, Pa mansion (once owned by NBA legend Dr. J!) into the home of the fictional Shellner Family.
The story centers around an ill-fated family reunion, in which the patriarch of the family, Dr. Nathaniel Shellner (played by Judd Hirsch), a famed psychiatrist, is on his death bed. Years earlier, Dr. Shellner adopted a number of children, who are now adults. The youngest of those children, Tommy Shellner (played by Ryan O'Nan), makes the stunning accusation that his father adopted the children for the purposes of experimentation for the government.
