Stephanie Seymour ... in whatever GNR video that was

A lot of that is makeup and preparation.
I saw her very up close and personal at an event last awards season. At almost 50, she is very much one of the most striking people I've seen. And actually quite charming as expected, working a small reception of 40 people or so promoting that Maria Callas film.
I can only imagine what she was like mid 2000's when Brad gave it all up and jumped into the chaos.
sounds good ... and if he comes to LA for something and I am home, i'm happy to meet up.
Look forward to hearing from him.

for sure ....

I have his info as well .... some good candidates going through. There is only one art department job, but i'm going to pass on all candidates to the general production as well. Not as sexy, but also a paying gig on the film.
Thanks ...

Thanks for posting… I had my guy reach out to you (his background is in theatre/architecture at LSU, late 20’s, BTR, some limited/entry prior experience as a PA)
I heard from him. Nice candidate.
Thanks.

Is it the movie with Zendaya and Pattinson?
It is not, but a major studio and accomplished director. Also, easily found on google.

fricking art department with their part time hours
you know it .... i prefer the 40's when I can get away with it!
I open every new set, grab a breakfast burrito and onto the next one.
The shooting crew has it rough with the nights and long hours. I don't envy it, but certainly respect it. I did a big commercial in China a few months ago and had to be on set for filming. I did not care for that at all.
It hasn't been an easy road for the locals in La. ... and most of the country for that matter, but things are picking up again. This is by far the biggest budgeted feature in the state in a few years with some well known filmmakers, so a cool opportunity. I heard about it a few months ago and thought it might be fun to return home to do something as it's been 6 years since I started Rebel Ridge in NOLA and then the pandemic pushed it. I wasn't around to help finish it.
The job is more of an office/ field position. NO on set work, which is a real grind. And I do not overwork my team. Pay is actually pretty good relatively speaking for an entry level assistant job. If any of the TD MTV board family has a family member or someone that might be really interested in this (for the experience and not necessarily the cash), have them:
Look for the supervising art director name on IMDB for How to Rob a Bank or White Lotus S3 (my last two projects), then follow me on Instagram and DM me for some info. I will put them with someone in my group for a potential interview, etc.
This isn't something I usually engage in, but since we are coming to BR .. I thought it would be cool to bring on a local with a real interest in the process/business.
And sorry Chicken if this is some sort of no no, but I'm not looking for pizza delivery drivers for my new chain. This is a more specialized PSA to some fellow MTV board members who might have a kid eager to do something in entertainment. PLUS, you still owe for me for the Gleason / DJ story break anyway.

Entry level Film Job (PA) in BR
Posted by JW on 12/11/25 at 11:38 am
I'm returning home for a studio feature film that will be based out of BR starting next month. Not ideal for having to bring most of the crew in from NOLA, but opens up and interesting opportunity for someone in BR that might want to break into or continue in the business as a production assistant (in the Art Department). I am interested in someone who genuinely wants to work and learn. No real experience needed. Generally, these jobs are filled by 20 somethings who might have gone to art school or studied GFX etc. Not a requirement of course, but helps if they have a similar background.
This is a decently paid gig and I like getting new people involved, so if you know someone that might be interested in joining the circus that is filmmaking, come forward. It's a full time, 50 hour a week job .... and not an internship. Why here? I would rather start in the TD universe than say traditional social media or god help us -- Craigslist.
Just a thought and wanted to throw it out there just in case a really good candidate is out there.

I was pretty close to TC a few weeks ago and he didn't seem that short. But looking back at the pics, his shoes had some thick arse heels. He certainly commands a room with his presence and engagement, so you can see his charm, even over really famous fellow actors.
RDJ is not really that sort IRL. Somebody that really surprised was Sam Rockwell when we did WL. He is super tiny.
The true giants are Brendan Fraser, Thor and Vince Vaughn. Legit 6'4" +

The Point in L5P had some great shows .... a nice small room for touring acts.
The Masquerade in it's O4W location was the spot with their multiple venues across three floors or so.
The Somber Reptile was a good punk rock venue on the west side before it got fancy.
Even the famed strip club Clermont Lounge had shows. So did Wax n Facts. And a smattering of other venues around town.

wow. they are still going? I brought them to the Spanish Moon/Bayou many times while i was finishing college. Such a great band live and otherwise.

ACDC was actually pretty great in Pittsburgh
OASIS ... Rose Bowl, Night 2
Jon Spencer BE was playing in Tokyo while I was there and completely missed it. That might have been solid.

it's tough sledding that day in the city, but second Doris. I had an amazing experience a few years ago on Christmas night.

Wasted a few seconds reading a self indulgent worthless post
One of the most amazing parts of that project is that Dominic Sessa was a theater student at one of the high schools that served as a location and was cast very late in the process. Film almost pushed because of it.
And he held his own with Paul and then some in his first professional gig.

Thanks FK ......
I almost went up to Spielberg, but chickened out. Not sure what I would have said anyway. I did visit Park Chan Wook's table since I had worked him years ago, though I don't think he remembered me. I told he and the lead actor from No Other Choice how much I enjoyed it and they had my vote in a couple of months.
I am really happy for my guy Wynn and was thankful to be a part of it.

More of a sharing of a cool experience with some insight to the event that was posted about. But I get the sentiment.
