Tom Thon: An Actor’s Perspective

Tom Thon joins host Dana Barrett to talk about his journey in and out of the business as an actor, director and producer.  His current projects include several films both in front of and behind the camera and directing a play called TALKIN WITH by Jane Martin at a new theater in Metro Atlanta called Out of Box Theater.  As the two talk about the project they also talk about why some theaters are not making it in the current economic climate and some are.

In addition to some wonderful advice for actors, Tom shares a little bit about the SAG/AFTRA union merger and the state of the business  in Atlanta.

 

Ken Feinberg talks about Creative Studios of Atlanta

It’s great when you can get an actor, a director, a producer and the owner of Creative Studios of Atlanta all in one room to talk about ShowBiz.  Especially when they’re all wrapped in one great guy!  Ken Feinberg joined host Dana Barrett at the brand new 200 Peachtree Street studios to talk about his background, his almost-kiss with Alyssa Milano and his projects and beloved students at Creative Studios of Atlanta.

The two chatted about Ken’s path to where he is today, some of the amazing projects he’s working on, like a two week intensive study in Cannes during the film festival, and his love for the business and for his students.  They also talked about the past, present and future of the business in Atlanta.

ShowBiz Atlanta Interviews Dale Sizemore of FLIPSFilm

There is more to show business than just glitz and glam.  Behind the scenes, there’s a whole lotta business going on.  And with all the great tax incentives in Georgia, there’s a whole lot of it going on right here.  That’s were Dale Sizemore comes in.  Just over a year ago, over a cup of coffee, he came up with the idea to make it even easier for local communities to attract film and television productions and all money that comes with them to their towns.   So, he rolled up his sleeves and created FLIPSFilm to make the permitting process easier, faster and better for both the communities and the production teams.

Dale was our first victim on ShowBiz Atlanta and he may just become a regular!  We had a great time chatting about how he got started, the services FLIPSFilm provides, and his plans for growth.
