A New Hampshire Film Industry Meet-Up, presented by the New Hampshire Film and Television Office, will take place on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at 5 p.m. at the State Library, 20 Park Street in Concord.
The New Hampshire Film and Television Industry Meet-Up is a new program and an extension of our current industry roundtables. While our roundtables are designed to be lunch-time, business-oriented events with a focused topic, the meet-ups are scheduled in the early evening and are structured to allow attendees to drive the discussion. The format may change from time to time: one evening may be more like a "Pecha Kucha" type of event, another may adopt a "Speed Geeking" format, or the evening may take on a more traditional meet-up role (like the one on Sept. 29) with everyone having the chance to take a few minutes to introduce themselves and provide information on their recent or upcoming endeavors (yes, there will be a set time limit!)
Like the roundtable, the conversation at the meet-up is geared toward the working film industry and is free and open to the public.
If you plan on attending, please RSVP by Monday, September 28 via e-mail at film@nh.gov or by calling (603) 271-2220.
As our meet-up is being held during dinner hours, we encourage you take advantage of networking with attendees by visiting the restaurants in downtown Concord either before or after the event, all within walking distance of the State Library. A list of dining establishments along Main Street can be found here.
Dee Foster Theriault: Dear Dee Dee
For the average gymnastics fan, the sport comes around every four years with the Olympics. For the rabid gymnastics fan, the sport is alive with excitement from recreational gymnastics to elite gymnastics to the burgeoning NCAA women's gymnastics teams each and every year. Unlike football or baseball, there really isn't a gymnastics season, so there is very little downtime. For an athlete that reaches the Level 10, Elite, and NCAA level, the talent pool dwindles down to a few gymnasts, not only at their club, but also across the country. That can lead to some isolation in the gym with the added pressure of trying to make the Olympic or World teams, or even obtaining a coveted NCAA scholarship. The athlete may start to compartmentalize all of their goals and take the stress of the sport into all aspects of their young lives, so that is where Dee Foster Theriault steps in.
As a former National and NCAA Champion, Dee understands the pressures of rising gymnasts whether their goals are in recreational or elite level gymnastics. She knows what it takes to make it to the top and she knows how to handle those obstacles that turn up along the way.
As a former National and NCAA Champion, Dee understands the pressures of rising gymnasts whether their goals are in recreational or elite level gymnastics. She knows what it takes to make it to the top and she knows how to handle those obstacles that turn up along the way. Dear Dee Dee is the first-ever mentoring program for gymnasts of all levels by establishing a relationship with the athlete and offering advice, not as a coach, but as a mentor. This is an important part of her philosophy to being "committed to the athlete and not the outcome." She states that she is "an outsider with a lot of insider information" and after over a decade away from the sport, she is ready to give back to a sport that gave her so much for 17 years.
The crucial part to her mentoring program is establishing parental involvement so that they can see the importance of their child's physical health, mental health, and see all perspectives of the athlete's life. Her parents were heavily involved in her development not only as a person, but also as a gymnast. As a result, she has a positive view on the sport and the famous coaches she trained under including Bela Karolyi, Don Peters, and University of Alabama coaches, David and Sarah Patterson. Dee knows that the Elite gymnast is going to have different needs than the NCAA gymnast who knows their body better, understands their physical limitations, and feels more confident voicing their opinion because they are older and competing every weekend. For the NCAA athlete, it is a job where you have to balance schoolwork, your behavior, your activities, and the sport that gave you a scholarship, gymnastics. So while the elite gymnast may need more mental health management, the NCAA gymnast may need more work on time management. The bottom line for Dear Dee Dee is delivering "healthy, fruitful gymnasts".
Her philosophy was hard at work this summer at the recent 2009 CoverGirl Classic where she mentored a young gymnast to great success. The mother of the elite athlete even sang Dee's praises in a testimonial saying, "When she started working with Dee the change was almost immediate. My daughter respected Dee right away, knowing that Dee had been there before and could totally relate to everything she was going through." Even more vital to the mentor program is the fact that the gymnast's parent felt she "no longer need concern myself with day-to-day gymnastics issues; I can just be a mom." This is all just the beginning for Theriault as she sees her program expanding to partnerships with NCAA and USA Gymnastics and even utilizing her website's forum to "evolve into gymnasts helping each other." Her hopes also include guest mentoring with former Olympians and NCAA champions. 
While Dee does have big goals for her program, there is one athlete she has set her sights on. When asked who it was, Theriault replied without hesitation, "Alicia Sacramone." Sacramone was the incredible team captain of the 2008 Women's Olympic Gymnastics team for the US in Beijing who, unfortunately, did not have the meet of her life there. It is Dee who believes that Alicia has "yet to tap her potential and with her natural instincts as a team leader, she needs to learn to lead for herself." With Sacramone's recently announced comeback, it seems that Theriault is ready to scoop up one of USA Gymnastics most talented athletes for some Dear Dee Dee love and inspiration.

**For full disclosure, my testimonial is also up on Dee Foster Theriault's website. She is a true role model as well as a friend.**

Dance Channel TV "Can't Miss List": Episode 6
The "Can't Miss List' continues to be one of my favorite pieces to shoot. I am finding that our fantastic writer, Suzanne Jolie, is writing it with more and more snark each episode. Who wouldn't love that? With dance really hitting its stride in mainstream media with shows like So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars, it is ripe for ribbing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to comment on what you are looking for on our next "Can't Miss List"!

The Music Hall presents Telluride by the Sea, Sept. 18-20
[Received this press release from The Music Hall in Portsmouth.]
Six films fresh from their premiers at the 36th Telluride Film Festival in Colorado will be on screen at The Music Hall, the landmark Victorian theatre in downtown Portsmouth, as Telluride by the Sea gets under way Friday September 18 and runs until Sunday September 20. In keeping with the tradition, film titles will be released, and individual film tickets will go on sale, over Labor Day weekend. Patron and Weekend passes are on sale now. According to Chris Curtis, “We are in store for a particularly fine selection of films this year with many recognizable faces and names in both actor and director slots. I always look forward to this weekend in September and this year all the more! It’s going to be a sensational weekend – three days of film, food, and fun in the city ranked as one of National Geographic Traveler's ‘Historic Places.’ It’s all here – the historic waterfront, great shopping, dining, and people watching. It’s so easy to get in and out of town, with our inexpensive parking garage that allows you to really enjoy our great walking town.”
Patricia Lynch, Music Hall executive director notes, “Before you come, please note that the savvy TBTS patron gets the Weekend Pass for elite seating, the deluxe is of course of the Patron Pass will all the trimmings – for ticket info and to plan your visit, check www.themusichall.org
It all starts Friday September 18. Once you’ve checked into your hotel, or if you’re local, had a bite at any of Portsmouth’s 250 restaurants, head on over to the Hall. At 5pm, lines begin to form outside the theater, so get in line, rub elbows with other cinephiles queuing up on Chestnut Street, grab your popcorn from the street vendor and tune in to our roaming musician, accordion legend, Gary Sredzienski. At 6pm, Patron Passholders head in to the glamorous Founders Lobby for pre-film cocktails. At 7:30pm once everyone is seated inside, film curator/Telluride Film Festival co-founder Bill Pence introduces the opening night film. Be sure to stay after to continue the party and film discussion in the Founders Lobby.
Saturday September 19 morning, check out any number of great breakfast places. Your Patron or Weekend Pass gets you on board free for our Telluride cruise to Star Island and returns to the docks in time for the 2pm film. There’s a delightful break in between the afternoon and evening films - “Cinemange” at Radici, the Italian restaurant around the corner. Get ready for two back to back films that night. Then stroll through downtown for more nightlife.
Sunday September 20 Since our Sunday films don’t start until 2pm, you have plenty of time to sleep in and check out our working harbor and stroll to Prescott Park. Take the time to watch the Portsmouth Criterium, a fast paced bicycle race through the downtown. After your Sunday films, don’t forget the wrap party at 8:30pm at the great brew pub, Portsmouth Brewery!
Additional screenings this year
According to Patricia Lynch, “We recognize that for some of our patrons, Telluride by the Sea dates – which are determined by the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado - are in conflict with Rosh Hashanah. In an effort to be sensitive, we have worked hard to ensure that more people are able to participate in our film weekend by scheduling additional screenings late Sunday night (8:45pm) and Monday September 21 (7:30pm).
About Telluride by the Sea
The Music Hall and the Telluride Film Festival collaborate on an exclusive presentation of six new features, brought directly from their Colorado debuts. This unique and intimate Portsmouth event treats audience members from across the Northeast to an exclusive peek into the Telluride experience - packing one mid-September weekend with the latest international cinema, private parties, great music, delicious food, and inspired conversations with sympathetic cinephiles of all ages, tastes and backgrounds. According to Patricia Lynch, executive director of The Music Hall, “Portsmouth is the perfect town for this perfect weekend. With its charming mix of history, salt air, and film lovers, Portsmouth buzzes when Telluride by the Sea arrives. The streets are filled with people stopping one another to talk about the films, the restaurants are jumping. It’s a moving party!”
About the Telluride Film Festival
The Telluride Film Festival has been, for the last 36 years, a celebration of the art of film: honoring the great masters of the cinema, discovering the rare and unknown, bringing new works by the world's greatest directors and the latest in American independent film to a small mountain town in Colorado. The New York Times called Telluride "the smallest, most original, and most stimulating of the major festivals," while Entertainment Tonight simply said it was "the world's best festival."

The Buzz
Here we are 8 weeks into The Web Files and the show has grown quicker than we ever imagined. We appreciate all of the support from the web series community. We hope to serve you well in our upcoming shows. Here's some of the buzz on The Web Files:
1. Named a "Web Series to Watch" by Jeff Elwell: Web Series 2 Watch.
2. One of my favorite Web Files supporters, Mathieas McNaughton, who kindly posts our show on his blog each week. Find out about short couches and a Christina Applegate reference: LG15 Today.
3. There's nothing like a happy talent, so thank you to Shanrah Wakefield for our shout out in her blog this week: Shanrah Wakefield.
4. Finally, we wouldn't have an Episode 8 without the show, Oz Girl. I'm telling you now, this cast and crew are going places. Make sure you are following the careers of Sophie Tilson, Shaun Crawford, Shanrah Wakefield, and Nicholas Carlton. You can find all of their Oz Girl work here: Oz Girl.
So, if you have had fun with us the past 8 weeks, I think you will truly enjoy our Fall offerings. We have some big names and series coming your way.

Episode 8: Oz Girl
The whole gang with purple bookends........
Another interview wrapped!................
My favorite photo of tall Shaun Crawford and our petite makeup artist, Marybeth Bagonghasa....
Guess I wasn't ready for this shot..........
Ah, much better............
I cannot believe I let a week slip by without a post! I was off doing a corporate host gig and I completely fell off of the grid. With that said, I am thrilled we are at the two-month mark with "The Web Files" and that our 8th episode features the talented cast of "Oz Girl". What can I say? This interview fell into our laps on the red carpet at iTVFest in July. We were interviewing them on the red carpet and before you know it, we had to scramble to find a location to shoot our episode with them in 3 days.
Check out Episode 8 here: Oz Girl.

We were interviewing them on the red carpet and before you know it, we had to scramble to find a location to shoot our episode with them in 3 days.
The cast and crew, comprised of Sophie Tilson, Shanrah Wakefield, Nick Carlton, and Shaun Crawford, were the hit of iTVFest where the show won Best Web Series and Best Acting. Everywhere they went, people stopped to congratulate them about "Oz Girl". They came in all the from Melbourne, Australia and they were rock stars that week. The show is fresh and funny. The cast is young and so cute! The crew is just genius. When Nick told me he began posting short films on the web in 2000 when he was 10-years-old, I started thinking this episode of "The Web Files" will be pulled out of the archives for E! after his wins his first Oscar.
I noticed an online comment that we needed a bigger couch for the episode. I laughed and I totally agree. We normally plan interviews about a month in advance, but with only 3 days to scramble to assemble our crew and equipment, we took advantage of whatever we could. So, we had a small couch, but a fabulous suite donated by the Ramada Plaza Hotel in West Hollywood. So, many thanks to them for making our show with "Oz Girl" a reality.
I recommend everyone reading this to bookmark, "Oz Girl", and watch one of the most addicting shows on the internet. The story is compelling and Shanrah Wakefield's (AKA Megan) one-liners are hilarious. Beyond being a group of young actors, writers, directors, and producers to watch, they are a fun gang of people to hang out with. Now, hurry with Season 2!!
