Jacqui (Action/Cut Short Film Competition)

So, I'm sure that we all have no shortage of horror stories about being a woman on set, but what have you found to be the benefits of being a production grrl*? As the only female crew member on a low-budget pilot shoot, for example, I was very popular among the teen girl cast -- because I was the only person they felt comfortable asking for feminine hygeine products. What other advantages have you found, by virtue of your gender?

*grrl, I know, is so 1997 Girl Power a term. But darn, it's fun to say!

After months and months of hard work, our engineering and design teams have finally launched Zannel 2.0 on August 22nd, 2007. The new and improve makeover of the site now has a new fresh and slick look to give users a better experience using Zannel. Zannel new look is not the only thing that have been changed to the site. With the new look, it came with the text conversions support where threads can be started about the videos and pictures on Zannel.

Equipped with tools such as send to friend(s) email or mobile phones and the embed players on the web are by far the easiest way to share videos and pictures.

Zannel are currently working with companies such as Warner Bros, My Damn Channel, Ripe Tv, The Daily Reel and more to get their videos onto the mobile world and featuring them on the homepage.

Check out www.zannel.com and let me know what you think about it. I would love to hear the inputs about Zannel.

Am leaving Miami and returning to Philadelphia to supervise the care of my elderly parents.

Left Philly in 1964 and spent 40 years in Manhatten. Co founded Weiss/Watson and sold it in 1986 to BBDO. The story gets more dramatic---but that is not why I post.

Philadelphia???

I do not even know where to eat. Where to drink. Where to chat. Where to hang out?

OK, I'm not a kid, but I am single and like to party.

Can someone help out? I am driving and expect to arrive August 8th.

Hey comedy lovers, just wanted to invite you all to join us on our new Daily Reel Comedy myspace page. Think of it as our home away from home. Or our weekend getaway. Or our vacation digs. Or our myspace page. Whatever.

We don't know the exact number, but it's safe to say there are millions of video blogs out there. It's also safe to say that about 99.9% of them suck. Big time. But...every once in a while you come across one that is genuinely funny and that's the case with Fitzy's Wicked Pissah Webcast.

Starring comedian Nick Stevens as Fitzy (or at least a guy that looks suspiciously similar to Nick), Fitzy's Wicked Pissah Webcast features the ultimate Boston sports fan ranting, raving, drinking and burping about all things Boston sports. He even throws in the occasional movie review and social commentary. It's a great video blog, always funny even if you're not from Boston. And if you are from Boston....well, it has to be the greatest site on the Internet.
