Orlando Scene TV

As our show is so new, we are still getting some of the kinks in the system worked out. Ryan and Julie put a lot of work into the first two episodes of OSTV, and the goal is to have a new show out every Monday. However, things don’t always go as planned. Expect to see the next episode in the middle of this week as we get ourselves up to speed.

We have some exciting stuff planned for release, like a piece about a new art gallery, an interview with the immortal Michael Winslow, a look at a local creative networking group, a profile about a local improv comedy night, even a long-running swing dance night in a most unlikely location. We are constantly looking for new events, groups and locations to promote, so we welcome your suggestions. Please send any information to < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >.

One of our hosts, John, is currently off on a 3-month tour of the Americas, which means he is currently in Colorado heading West. We will be checking in with John and his wife Kamrin soon, but if you can’t wait, check out FindingAmerica.TV for lots of video, live updates and their travel route on an interactive map.

Another contributor to the show, Mark, is currently in NYC auditioning for next season’s show-stopping productions. We might be hearing from Mark about some New York goings-on in addition to the regular Orlando fare, check back here for more developments in the future.

Of course, we can’t mention John and Mark without giving some love to Michelle and Becky. Michelle you know from the Film Slam episode, and we are taping Becky’s first episode this weekend. They are sharing their interests and favorite local spots with the production staff and planning new episodes, perhaps even as you read this.

Ryan, the producer, is hard at work editing and alternately scouting new locations and making connections all over town. He organizes a monthly Happy Hour called Florida Creatives that would be of particular interest to anyone watching this show. The event happens each third Monday of the month – check the website for details.

Every second Sunday of the month, John Theisen and Brian Feldman host a program of short films at the Enzian Theater in Maitland by Florida Filmmakers. Winners are picked by the audience to advance to the Brouhaha Grand Slam in December. Michelle joined us and got a chance to talk with the organizers at the event.

At the January FILMSLAM, 6 Florida films were featured:
Security Deposit – Erica Matyas
Since September – Christopher Zawadzki (3rd Place)
The Blue Moon Pull (PART I) – Young Kim
Aging Imaginations – Kirk Murray
A Man in the Attic – Ali Imran Zaidi (1st Place)
SPEAKEASY – E.R. Jess

The February and March FILMSLAM events were also a great time, we highly recommend going out and supporting local film to the tune of a $5 bill. If you want to find out more about people producing video and film locally, our other blog, Orlando Video, allows creatives in Orlando to send us links to their video on the web. We have featured E.R. Jess’ group, Feedbag Films, several times now.
